As much as I want the Cavs to win—and I do want them to win so badly—I also hope the Warriors sweep so history knows how colossal of a bitch Durant is.

OK...I'm imagining the two players who won MVP the past three seasons making up for the fourth best player on the team playing poorly

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized

Ghost Dog posted:

no, this is what i am talking about. the decision is not even remotely like lebrons. he did not leave one of the best teams in the nba, he left a mediocre team. a team that was mediocre even with him on it. its a ludicrous amount of revisionist history to pretend the thunder team kd left is remotely comparable to the shitshow lebron had.

Yes OKC 2015-16 were a really good team, almost as good, perhaps equal, to the Warriors of 2015-16. But if all KD cared about was winning a title, with no regard for any other factors, then leaving to join the Warriors was a no brainer decision.

I just think it's nice to see Curry playing at 100% instead of like last year when he was obviously injured throughout the playoffs.

LeBron did leave a 61 win Cavs team to go a team with Wade and Bosh. I guess that's one less great player than the Warriors had when Durant joined, but it's a pretty similar situation.

the 2nd best WS player on the cavs team he left was anderson verajao. the 3rd was mo williams. this is the same as leaving a thunder team with westbrook? they probably keep ibaka if he doesn't hang them out to dry for awhile too



and you know, joining a 73 win team vs joining a 47 win team

Yeah that's true; that roster was soooooooo old. Shaq, Z, and Varejao's combined.age was 100+ iirc.

I just have a hard time calling a 61 win team mediocre even if they're in the East. Ignore me, I'm just hairsplitting :cheers:
