How the hell did he fracture his knee-cap?? I understand hyper-extension but the type of fall he had, did not look like it was an impact on his knee which could've caused a fracture. My gawd this boils my blood, how much easier could Golden State's path to the championship be? They are basically 100% healthy, even Speights is back.
Well this year's playoffs culminated in a complete disaster of a finals. With so many injuries to key players on contending teams, maybe the NBA should consider shortening the regular season.
It ain't over till it's over. Lebron is the PG on that team and JR Smith has the right mentality to come in and make a greater impact. Cavs may not win the series, but I don't think it will be a sweep.

They shouldn't. The league normally doesn't see this many injuries to key guys on playoff teams. It was just a freak season for seemingly everyone not named the Golden State Warriors.
Now the second best player on this Cleveland team is either timofey mozgov or Tristan Thompson. This is even worse than the last time when Lebron carried a Cavs team to the Finals. GSW really got lucky this year.

a dapper diamond leung positioned beside his beautiful fiance. this is the f'n loser who wrote all that fictitious crap about dwight and harden smh https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...723727313727.2343871.122614847&type=1&theater
I would guess he should be able to recover 100%. I don't think this is a potential chronic type of injury like Durant's foot.
Sucks to hear about Kyrie. I really thought this was a terrible matchup for GSW if Kyrie was 100%. Sucks Kyrie didn't end the game on the last play of regulation as well. I honestly thought Lebron was the decoy and that Kyrie was going to the hole.
I'm happy the media is starting to asterisk the season. No matter what Golden State says, its not going to be erased. Unless they win back to back and everyone is healthy next year.
I find it cute that anyone thinks an asterisk matters. Like anyone remembers that chit. Keep doing the mental gymnastics to feel better if you must.
asterisk doesn't matter but all the hype of this team being "ONE OF THE GREATEST TEAMS EVER!!!!" is done if they win.
Everyone questioning a title's legitimacy can be annoying to a team and its fans. Rockets fans still have to listen to crap about the 90's championships despite the team winning two straight and making an unbelievable run for that second one. The Warriors better win a second one or they'll never hear the end of it.
A lot of hate for this team, but they didn't actually do anything to put them in their current situation. They didn't injure all those players and they didn't ask for the media to hype them all year. Those things just happened outside their control. Is hate deserved for that?
