Bullshit Warriors only got 3 of their 4 all-stars through the draft. They didn't build a team the REAL way

Someone is triggered his team is going down in 5 in the finals. 5 teams in the west had the Cavs record or better. Basically, most of their PO teams. Easy East still the same.
I listened to a guy who has written about the top players of the past 25 years. He was asked about LBJ vs Jordan. He laughed out loud and said, "you do know they still played defense back then , right?" Hand check fouls in the 90s? Lol, never. LBJ with his size and talent, special rules...still needs loaded teams. Still going to be BTFO in five when they finally meet a real competitor.

Honestly with how good GS was last year and the year before I think anything less than a sweep is atrocious on their part.
They literally added a MVP to a squad led by a two time MVP.
They should go 16-0.
They're way better than the Cavs. I feel a single loss would be lulzworthy when they're basically the Western All-star starters.
Though, GS plays as good or better without KD anyway.
LeBron has nothing left to prove. He came back from 3-1 against a 73 win team to bring Cleveland their first title in 52 years. He can literally lose every Finals from this year to retirement and it won't matter.
If somehow Curry, KD and the chokers lose again? Dude. LeBron's legacy becomes that much more ridiculous.
Zero pressure on the Cavs. No matter how many games it takes.
As for idiots who continue to compare eras: if 6'8 275lb mass of strength and quickness LeBron couldn't play back then, what the fuck would Curry and skinny ass KD? Please. Stop with the stupid fucking arguments.
Different eras are different eras. Russell won 11 titles, why didn't Jordan? Stupid right? Exactly. Stfu.

Oh missed that part about record. Cavs try harded the shit post all star break. 23-23. Hahaha. They gave zero fucks. They could make the Finals from the 8 spot and they know it.
Another question: if the East is so bad as everyone says why don't West players flock to the East to take advantage like LeBron does?
KD's path was blocked by the Warriors in a stacked West. Why didn't he leave OKC for the Wizards? He could've played with two young superstars in Beal and Wall and coasted to the Finals in the easy as fuck no competition bullshit East.
Why did he and so many other West players stay there instead of flocking to the East?

Listen man, I will readily admit I am a salty Jazz/Sonics homer and I got shitfaced and went on a rant, especially because it seems like we have a 50/50 chance of losing our single superstar in the offseason to some faggot team. But I will also humbly request you admit that this GSWs team is fucking retarded. KD is a fucking bitch and should be universally despised, and I despise him even more because he was on a stolen team that I loved.
Basketball simultaneously invites the most teams to the playoffs and plays the most playoff games of any sport by far, while also having the worst level of parity. This is a measurable fact.
Also, Draymond signing the Jazz Fan's "Draymond Flop Counter" board at the end of the game was hilarious.

Man this off-season is going to be freaking stupid with free agency. I think this team stacking is going to continue and it's going to happen in the West with teams like San Antonio and Houston. The East will become even more irrelevant.
And regarding the finals I just can't see the Cavs pulling this off. But, I honestly didn't think they would win last year either.

GSW situation doesn't bother me as much since it's not a typical super team like the Heat or the earlier Lakers. They acquired Curry, Thompson, and Green through the draft. None were lottery picks and Green was even a second rounder. You then had Curry go from good to video game character while on a bargain contract which gave them the ability to sign KD while only making minimal sacrifices. It took a shitload of incompetence by other teams (lol Twolves), incredible drafting, and a lot of luck to be able to build what will likely be just a 1 year thing.
That being said, I already admitted the NBA's FA system is completely fucked due to how max contracts give certain teams unfair advantages over others which leads to the disadvantaged teams having to overpay lesser players which just exacerbates the problem.

Because you always try and play both sides of "I knew the Dubs were going to win" unless the Cavs win then "Haha faggots I knew the Cavs would win the whole time and I played you bitches!"
You did the same shit when the Spurs looked like they were closing out the Heat in the first matchup and even switch your avatar to Tony Parker or something and said you even wanted the Spurs to win. Then second time around you got yourself banned to prevent yourself from having to hear any of the same trash talk you so gleefully spewed the year before.
