Honestly think the Warriors could still close this one out if like Curry and Klay both somehow went down

Niwrad posted:I think they still win 1 of the next 4 without Curry. I doubt it. Partly because Curry makes so many 3's and basically forces the Cavs to double-team off-ball every single possession and partly because he's probably their best or 2nd best rebounder and screener. Livingston can't play for 30+ minutes and Ian Clark is literally the worst defender in the entire finals rosters.

lol loving hell dude winning four straight against any team in the playoffs is difficult. Cavs wouldn't be able to do it even absent Curry

That is independent of whatever weak rear end take you throw out because you're butthurt he left fashion show ballhog Russ i'm only butthurt that he ruined the west. you know, the good part of basketball. there'd be like 4-6 potential championship teams in the west if he stayed in OKC. still plenty if he went out east. instead he joined the warriors and now what would have been exciting and interesting playoff basketball has become incredibly boring and routine. a 16-0 sweep through the playoffs isn't very interesting to me. its incredibly boring. frankly i don't give two shits about kevin durant or his career. i care about watching good, competitive basketball and his action have had an undeniable impact on that

Going to register a RealGM account this offseason to find out what kind of fanfic team would go 98-0. I know it can be done, really simple actually.

I felt the refs were fine. They made some poo poo calls but it seemed to go both ways. A lot of plays that looked bad at the time (Igoudal block) seemed fine/much closer on replay. The fact that Draymond still gets away with being the biggest loving baby is still amazing. Sure, he finally got a T but it basically required him to whip his balls out and put them on the refs shoulder. Cavs lost b/c they missed good 3s and forgot to play transition D multiple times in the last 2 minutes

Like this is not superstar call poo poo, this is a single dude that is literally reffed differently than any other player. Is it some sort of league decree because they know he'll just get suspended too much?

Curry had 5 ORBs and 8 DRBs. He's never done something like that. So much championship hunger. Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson and Deron Williams go 1for19 from 3P range. Cost the Cavaliers the game and LBJs ninth finals TD. 8 TDs: LeBron James Magic Johnson 2 TDs: Larry Bird Wilt Chamberlain Bob Cousy Walt Frazier Bill Russell 1 TD: Charles Barkley Elgin Baylor Dave Cowens Stephen Curry Tim Duncan Draymond Green Jason Kidd Scottie Pippen Rajon Rondo Wes Unseld Jerry West James Worthy Paul Zuvella posted:Paul Pierce is on TV right now saying that the "cavaliers are not an efficient offense" JVG said something about the Cavaliers shouldn't be taking threes. They're #1 this past year in that department.
