B.B. Hemingway Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Saw the score but didn't watch. Defense optional? Defense wasn't as bad as the score indicated. Dudes just making shots. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 And, oddly enough, one team has had much more success than the other: Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Great line by Kerr - when asked about the talent on his team, his reply was something to the effect of "we don't have much talent, it's mostly coaching." Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Interesting that in both of the competitive games, GS was the team able to find an edge despite not being challenged much throughout the playoffs. Congrats to the Warriors on a great championship run Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Here's my guess at what happens: Cleveland gets a little energy (and probably some calls) and wins Game 3 so they don't get swept. The GS wins games 4 & 5 to finish them off. Eh, not too shabby. Missed the order. Cavs had Game 3 won and pissed it away. Think I would have been right if the Cavs had held on there (GS has more urgency in G4). Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Can't ask Lebron to do anymore then he did. This series did nothing but enhance his legacy. The 3-5 record isn't pretty, but if he finds a way to win a couple more that will solidify his place at top of the "GOAT" list.... As for the series? That was as entertaining a 5 games series you'll ever see. Cant wait for round 4 in June 2018. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 With all do respect B.B. I don't think LeBron can do anything to 'solidify' his place atop the GOAT list. MJ for some will always be the GOAT and for the time being, rightfully so. I love Lebron and he is probably the most talented player ever. But MJ will always have accomplished more in the minds of many. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'm not at all a LeBron fan but you have to respect what he's accomplished. Some detractors will point to the 3-5 record but getting there seven straight years - even in a sub-par East - is pretty impressive. A couple of those time he really didn't have much help - his first with the Cavs and at least one with a hobbled Wade. Of course, he's also one extremely clutch Ray Allen three from being 2-6 so I think it's fair to make him down just a bit for that. That being said, the Cavs had the highest payroll in the league this year. Now, paying people the most obviously doesn't mean you necessarily have the best players but it's nothing like the first Cavs team he took to the finals. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That was as entertaining a 5 games series you'll ever see. The four Golden State victories featured wins by 22, 19, 21 and nine points. That's an ass kicking. Give me a series like the '08 Lakers/Celtics every time over this. 1 Quote Link to comment
