    They lost to better teams. I'm cool with that. Ya they probably will win a bunch of chips, as they should with two MVPs under 30 on the same team. It's never happened before, and we're witnessing just how good a team built like that can be. LeBron doesn't need more rings anyway, just keep...

    73 wins plus an MVP. This is correct. I believe any championship team since 1990 would be getting blown out by this Warriors team too. About this payroll bullshit: Curry's broken ankle contract pays him $12 million this year. Hell get the supermax which is going to be $207 million for 5 years...

    Which ends in two games when Curry signs the supermax. That is the ONLY reason their payroll is low is because Curry is still on his broken ankle contract. That's why Durant has to take less just to even fit Curry's supermax in. So in a season or two with repeater tax, to keep their team...

    KD has it easy, he should average 40 a game on the Dubs. He is essentially a role player there which is why they win just as much when he's injured. Again though, all of this has been expected since preseason and their dominance will continue as is as long as they take pay cuts to play together...

    Sure, post the series where LeBron won 2 games with Delladova playing 40 minutes and no KI/Love. Not sure if point proven?

    Another 20 point blowout playoff win, this Warriors team is incredible. Kyrie the closer must've just not had enough tonight. Ah well maybe next game.

    Warriors would run them off the court. No contest. Being able to play zone and having 3P specialists and the pace they play at? Probably win by 40.

    LeBron with his all time record-tying 8th Finals triple double in 3Q. 4Q now, so I assume Kyrie the closer who won game 7 last year by himself will stop playing like shit and takeover right? Maybe Love can stop missing layups but I'd hate to ask too much of LeBron's teammates, it's only the...

    Of course. Most everyone said 4 or 5 games before it started. They're 28-1 since March, have two MVPs and have home court. They were able to survive 1 for 6 from 3 from Steph and have 13 TOs and still lead by 3 at the half. This is probably the best team in NBA history, this Warriors team. 4...

    Nice mugging of LeBron by McGee. No attempt at the ball lol. Maybe we should play Curry and Durant that way since apparently they're normal fouls now.

    Stop with the roster shit. If Curry wasn't on his broken ankles contract they'd be fucked. Even with Durant taking less once Curry gets thr supermax this off-season if they keep everyone they'll be paying more than Cavs minus repeat offender tax which they'll have in 2 or 3 seasons.

    I fucking hope so! Should have LeBron, CP3, Carmelo, Harden and The Brow on the bench next season. Minimize the drop from starters to bench. Think of it less minutes for LeBron, extend his career and ultra stat padding against scrubs. I smell a 6th man of the year award. Could probably...

    1 down 3 to go. The only excitement this Finals has for me is how much can LeBron pad his all time playoff stats. Oh and then after when we see who else jumps on the gravy train to a ring in GSW. Maybe Chris Paul or Carmelo Anthony!

    McGee is what GSW needed. An athletic big who can block shots and finish at the rim in non death lineup minutes. I don't give a shit about what he did before this season he is a good fit with this Dubs team and much better than Bogut for what they need.

    Chase down block didn't happen? LeBron doesn't make that play Kyrie's 3 does nothing. That's like saying Love's elite defense on Curry at the end of the game won the game. But ya, you're right, Love and Irving carrying LeBron tonight yet again.

    No shit? However now instead of Barnes they have Durant and instead of Bogut they have McGee. Last year was fairly miraculous and now they're way better, so, honestly who do you see them losing to in say the next 3 years outside of a crazy inury? Keep in mind Durant is gonna take less so...

    Who can? As always they need to outscore them or keep it close so LeBron can iso slow down the 4Q. Problem is LeBron's "elite help" doesn't always show up when it matters.

    I feel like if they get swept and lose by 20+ per game the NBA has jumped the shark. Other than watching LeBron climb the all-time leader boards I can't see why it's interesting for non Dubs fans or LeBron haters. Ah well. Just glad he got Cleveland a title last year.

    Sub 500 teams aren't making the playoffs in the East. Especially teams that went 30-52. A 67 win team was #1 and the 8th seed won 30 games. At least the 8th seed this year won 41 games. Have to go back to 2015 to find a sub 500 team making the East playoffs and they won 38 games. Plus #1...

    And the Cavs won. Despite that Warriors team winning 73 games and having the unanimous MVP. The year before they had 3 and the Cavs had 1 and it went six games. This year they have 4 (two MVPs) to the Cavs 3. They're huge favorites to beat the Cavs for the 3rd year in a row. Lol full of...

    Yeah, let's ignore the fact that Jordan played through two league expansions. So not only did he face his dynasties at the end of their runs, he also faced a watered down league talent wise due to the expansion drafts. Good point Ambiturner!!

    Right, so if he were to lose before the Finals he would be worse. So his only recourse is to win the title every single year. Makes sense man. Nice input!
