    The Warriors are like the 95 Rockets, they came back from the 3-1 deficit, so in the finals, they are the most battle tested team in the playoffs

    the Cavs didn't face any adversity, except for now

    Someone earlier had posted:

    Dubs
    OKC
    Spurs
    LA

    Cavs

    Raps

    Simple as that. The way I see it, Dubs had been taking it easy and needed a wake up call which OKC provided. Dubs players locked in and went for 3 straight vs OKC. They're simply this good when playing seriously.

    I don't know about LA but all top three WC teams shall beat Cavs handily even at the Cavs's best. I think ppl give Cavs too much credit for having Lebron and sweeping bad teams.

    Maybe you're also right when I comes to testing your chops throughout the season. The top Lebron teams in the east will always be unscathed come June, for better or worse.

    That's about right

    And I think the only team in the west Toronto could beat in a 7 game series is broken down Memphis and old ass Dallas. I think the Rockets and Blazers could beat them. Healthy clippers beat them easily. GS, okc, SA would destroy the raptors

    30+ point blowout, 20-2 run in the 2nd quarter, yet some people here still blame the refs? Oh lawwwd.

    Cavs will probably pull out one win at home. But the real Finals was the WCFs. Warriors in 5.

    Properly coached, Rox have the better personnel to challenge the Warriors. The team wasn't on the same page at all.

    Not if when the players let their memories of incessant slighting of their success last year keep them focused to prove them wrong.

    However, it's still likely that only some but not all players would care that much about that and will relax in a road game so they can take the series at home.

    I hope not. When's the last finals sweep? Iirc it's the rockets. I like to see more sweeps. Less ticket sales and TV ads for the league, yes, but not necessarily less fun, no? That tip in and OT was fun. Anderson ft too. :grin:

    Kevin love is a good player but can't play third fiddle like ibaka/Adams do with durant and westbrook. He can't even rebound like he did with the twolves. Just have the thunder play the warriors again because these finals are boring.

    The Rockets could have won the East.

    I blame this game squarely on the refs. They didn't do anything to help the LerBons keep it close. The league just left dey boy out to dry like that.

    the cavs are looking more and more like a joke, after each game, if they don't win game 3, then it's over
