2016 NBA Finals - Cleveland Cavaliers Vs Golden State Warriors

I wouldn't ever call a championship lucky or a fluke. The Cavs were missing players last year and this year GS missed Bogut. I think Bogut's injury really hurt the team as Thompson could really crash the boards. There were just many things in this series that could have gone the other way for GS.

One thing that bothered me was Curry's body language and trying to be cute with passes, etc. The other thing is what happened to GS's offense? They weren't running the offense and just had too many possessions that were just crap. With Bogut, he could post up and at least keep the defense honest. Plus, Bogut is an underrated big with good passing skills. With him out, Cleveland just teed up on the shooters.

 

I feel hexed, EVERY single team/athlete I have rooted for the in the past year has flamed out spectacularly lol. Still waiting for Serena to get that #22.

 

They're feeling like we did in 2008.

 

Would be 1-6 if not for two major chokejobs. Splash bros with 3 pts in the 4th quarter, and shot 12/36 in the game. Terrible.

People will say he's top 5, but how can you put someone in top 5 who would be 1-6 in the finals without a ray allen/irving 3. Irving carried Cavs just as much as Lebron did

But whatever. Remember folks, at the end of the day, it's just a game, our lives will still go on and these superstars will still stay super rich and our opinions will continue to be irrelevant.

Draymond tried to make up for his idiotic suspension and shot great tonight, and just needed one splash brother to play half decent. Did not happen.

Skip Bayless is right, as bitter as he may sound.

Without Kyrie hitting big shots tonight and the last 3 games, GSW repeats. He's also been the most consistent player on the floor the entire Finals.

 

LeBron and Kyrie just played amazing these last few games...I especially did not think LeBron had this type of performance in him.

What a game 7, last 5 minutes felt like 2010 game 7 where it was so hard to score and everyone was just drained.

 

Anyone have a vid of Lebron's block? Shades of the '04 ECF when Prince blocked Reggie out of nowhere!

 

Yep you called it. Donaghy just confirmed the importance of which sets of refs work a big game.

 

i guess i had kind of an epiphany/realization once lbj and the cavs won.

i think i created such an artificial mountain on top of my back defending kobe so many years, that it put legit stress/agitation in my day to day life. but you know what, kobe doesnt need my defense and i know that as far as im concerned kobe will always be better.

i think its time along with kobes retirement to let it all go and move on. ill always support kobe, but no longer am i gonna get so worked up about comparisons and debate.

easier said than done, but ima try...

 

sorta had the same thing tonight. I'm like, "Kobe's retired, his legacy is set on stone and already immortalized in the record books. Let others have their turn."
