    I told you guys. No point watching the next 4-5 years if you're yearning for a championship. Warriors are gonna win the championship, Cavs will be runner up.

    The other 28 teams are fighting for a bronze medal.

    Adam silver loves the warriors. Dude is responsible gor screwing harden out of 2 mvps. Look at how they changed the announcement of tge awards simply because they were scared westbrook would be 1 and done in the playoffs

    45% of smart people on this basketball forum voted Cavs will win this series, Warriors really overperforming so far.

    DId anyone else see that fight in the stands as Lenron was walking off? LBJ stopped to look, but the camera quickly cut away.

    Boring game, boring series.

    We need Lebron, Ibaka and Hayward + Harden, Cap and Bev to take down a healthy Warriors.

    Either that or Hayward, Harden to Cleveland.

    Get used to same BS for next 3-4 yrs.

    That was a perfect storm for Cleveland (no Bogut, Green suspension, etc., Lebron going bananas, etc.) Also they happened to add the second best player in the world to go with a historic team last year. Like I said if at full strength I don't feel anyone can beat them. If the perfect storm doesn't happen, which you never want to wish injuries, this is anticlimactic.

    Bigger robbery than 2015 of harden not winning mvp. If durant doesnt win fmvp. Co-mvps need not apply here. Its obvious who the difference in the series is

    he's not going to love them when people listen to durant and stop tuning in.

    the warriors are not as likable as the bulls were during their dominate run and it's gong to eventually turn people off if they win 4-5 straight with absolutely no competition.

    people like greatness but greatest with a little bit of drama.

    going 16-0 and blowing everybody out by 20+ is cool to see once but once but when it keeps happening over and over and over again there just is no point in tuning in.

    just watch the highlights on instagram or free dawkins youtube channel.

    That was different. The Warriors were already clearly vulnerable as their 3-1 deficit to the Thunder in the previous round showed. Once they caught a couple bad breaks(Green's suspension, Bogut's injury), the door opened for the Cavs to make their comeback.

    This is a completely different Warriors team. They basically subbed out Barnes who stunk it up last year for Durant who's arguably the 2nd best player in the world behind LeBron.

    If you told me that Cavs scored 113 points and gave me the stat lines of LeBron and Love and Irving, you'd think Cavs definitely won.

    My apathy for this game hasn't gone away. I was half watching. I Was switching between this and Ninja Warrior.

    It's only game 2 though..

    Just kills me when people say curry is better than harden. Curry got 1 freakin triple double. Big deal. Harden had 23 of those in the regular season and 2 in this years playoffs
