    Ha. I hope GSW fans start whining about the Asterix comment.

    CLE definitely would have beaten them the first year with Irving and Love. However, could they have repeated. Repeats are hard. We can't just say CLE wins the first matchup with Irving/Love, and just give them the 2nd because they actually won that one. It took a legendary comeback and a fockass'd Lebron to make that comeback.

    Likely with one ring already for BelieveLand, they aren't as fockass'd as Dream and Drex were for a repeat.

    Whether they will win a ring is anybodies guess, but I would certainly agree they will not be better than they were.

    Golden State had a found a synergy level that made the team better than the sum of its parts. I am a firm believer that you shouldn't change something that is working. They already had a GOAT level offense, and an elite defense. Pretty sure you will see diminishing returns on offense by adding Durant, but I think their defense is going to take a huge hit with the loss of Bogut, and overall make the team worse off. I certainly could be wrong, and its hard to argue against adding Durant, but we will just have to wait and see.

    I'm still worried about Durant's foot and Curry's ankle. Injuries like that don't just go away. They continue to nag you until it's given the appropriate rest.

    I liked this reference to Clutch City. You are always representing Clutch City.

    What does "jump-shooting teams" even mean for Charles? Lebron's Heat, Lebron's Cavs and recent Spurs shoot a ton of jumpers.

    The Warriors take it to an extreme; their roster is very backcourt heavy. Zero post presence and questionable rebounding / rim protection. They even pass up fast break layups to chuck off-balance 3 pointers.

    Good for you. I'm really happy for you. I'm bringing up the injuries because I think it may be a subject this year. Foot injuries are no joke. Preventing them from meeting expectations.

    Charles is so far off it's ridiculous.

    The Cavs are enormously lucky that Draymond was suspended for game 5.

    I hope the Warriors suck as much as anyone, but a "jump shooting team" absolutely can win a championship, and already has.

    Cleveland would have beaten them in 2015? LOL..And I say If Warriors had their full squad healthy in 2016 would have beaten the Cavs. Warriors got them when Cleveland were hurt, and Cleveland got GSW when they were hurt. GSW 1 CLE 1...let's see the trilogy.

    Warriors were 3-1 when both teams had their full squad. FACT.
