Aren't they moving to San Fran soon anyway? Save the rich white fan base from setting foot in scary Oakland.

They are the first team to try to slow the game way down. Blatt is a genius, no other coach that has faced Golden State so far has been able to take them out of their comfort zone. Yeah, if LeBron is a scrub then they lose anyway, but the team concept is working. This is the way the Rockets should have played with Harden. Now, this offseason Harden better get in that gym and better utilize that frame by working in the post. Anyways I still think the Cavs lose in 6. Its only going to take one game for LeBron to go cold, while Golden State can alternate between Thompson and Curry if either goes cold.
Cavs were able to throw the ball into LeBron in the post, though. Neither Harden nor Dwight (nor Jones nor Smith) were able to bully their man like Bron could do with every GS defender. I find it funny that Green was able to defend someone like Randolph and Gasol, but not really LeBron. Talking about straight up post defense, and not quick first steps that LeBron burned Green with, in game 2. You're right that Harden needs to work in the gym. At this point, I don't think he could back down Thompson or Barnes.
^^ there's only one lebron james. he's like a freak of nature, aka shaq. it's not sth. you can work in the gym and catch up with.
Harden already has the body though. No homo. Low center of gravity, he already has a well balanced frame in my opinion. Its not about the physical attributes, its about the post skill. Harden can't just bully people, but if he gets that first step through use of footwork he can probably absorb enough contact to be effective in the post. Every great player has added a post game to their repertoire.
i agree harden should and can add post moves to his repertoire. what i was saying was that it's just not gonna be the same of lebron. lebron has the frame and physicality that's truly god-given. its just different from the strength one can get working in gyms. and even lebron today, after some mileage, isnt the same player he used to be, in terms of physical strength.

What's considered a full time "Warriors Employee"? The ushers I'm assuming work for Oracle Arena? And the concession stand people would work for whatever food company paid for the rights to vend at that location. So is it limited to the ball boys/girls and media relations team + whatever corporate heads that clearly aren't pictured here?
