    Travesty and we cannot do anything except for waiting another year after another year.

    This sh** kind of killed the NBA. How many more years of GSW-CLE will we have to witness?

    Depends on how long Tristan Thompson keeps that Khloe Kardashian with him. The force is strong in her. Thompson is producing 2.7 PPG, 3.7 RPG in the Finals. So glad Harden dumped her before too late.

    Forgot about that, you're right. The Kardashian curse is unreal.

    I think it comes down to talent
    Warriors have great talent evaluators

    Livingston was suppose to be the next Penny Hardaway until his injury - His PG instincts are great - his leg is just busted
    Convincing Iggy to come off the bench

    Since the NBA has watered down the center position and made it nigh impossible to have a dominant center
    the warriors don't give a **** what peice of walking flotsam they put there

    That is why the Grizzlies give them a few issues. . . that is until the refs castrate them with cheap offensive fouls etc

    People don't want to admit it .. the Rockets *ARE* built to take this team on
    but
    It requires a near perfect game . . . .. . That is the same with the Cavs .. they must play Mistake free

    the Warriors have 2 players having an 0-fer night and still beat you by 15

    Zero. I haven't watched a minute of any Warriors playoff games so I haven't had to witness any of it. Feelsgoodman. It's true though that this superteam sucks overall for the NBA.

    Lebron had opportunities to go in the post. He had opportunities to take KD to the rim. But instead you pass to Kyle Kover? You let Kyrie take stepback 3's? Lol. We KNEW every game it was Jordan's team. Who leads the Cavs down the stretch? This is classic Lebron

    Haven't watched since game one. Feelsgoodman is right. :)

    Good times when everyone lost their **** when LeBron demanded or asked for more help & lost their **** again when they signed Deron Williams & Andrew Bogut & Larry Sanders & Derrick Williams & Edy Tavares. (LOL)

    This is unfair! The buyouts just go to Cleveland! :D

    Anyways, they'll probably be swept. Interesting to see what moves they make this summer (to try [but probably unsuccessfully] & catch Golden State).

    Same here, zero excitement and it probably won't change for a long time.

    Yep lol

    In the end the best and only interesting move they can do is probably move Love for a good wing (which is actually the kind of move i expect them to try to make) or a 4 capable of playing some defense (so that can be used at the 5 too), and hope to get some help with the MLE, i think they have no 1st picks until 2020 or 2021, J.R, Shumpert and Thompson are interesting contracts to move for a max salary, but imo they have litle to no value, certainly not enough to get a top player, not even Melo imo...Felder may be an interesting piece but yeah, not in a major trade scenario. With these guys maybe they can get someone like Noah, Courtney Lee...not sure if or how much a similar move will help them though, and for as great as he is, Lebron is not getting younger.


    EDIT: on topic, great job Durant, you're so great man...joining the best team ever after losing to them in the conference finals few months ago when you were ahead 3-1, smh what a weak ass b****...

    This is just what king James wanted, to prove he is TGOAT, he needs to come back from 0-3 deficit, now he is going to show everyone how Cleveland will win four in a row! :)

    I feel like a brute trashcan would be just as effective as Tristan Thompson this series.

    You just have JR Smith run it across the court and place it by the basket, and it too could grab 3 boards a game.

    Tristan needs to find a way to get one of the Warriors big 4 to date a Kardashian sister. Is there enough for each of their players? Shoot, all a Kardashian sister needs to say is that they slept with Durant or Curry and that would be enough to start the downfall :p
