Does RJeff want a seat on bench next to Lue?

Nice and appealing to watch, but flash in the pan regarding playing style. The code has been cracked.

I'll try to keep it short with 4 main takeaways.

#1) "The Block" needs to go down in Cleveland history. I know the 3 from Kyrie was big and put the ultimate dagger to seal the championship but that block was simply the best block in NBA history. Lebron literally said I don't care if I break my entire body and die on the court tonight but you are not making that layup. What a player.

#2) The defense by Kevin Love on Curry at the end was amazing. Love showed up in Game 7 and while I will never agree that he was worth a max deal that game at least put him on the map for the team. I also will 100% concede that I was wrong and the K.Love for Wiggins trade was worth it. If Wiggins goes on to win 100 championships, the trade will still be worth it. That is the reality.

#3) Kyrie Irving.

#4) The salt from the Warriors is so tasty. Did they interview Klay Thompson? He has to be the saltiest player in NBA history right now. I'm still thinking about their comments after Game 2 and the smile on their faces; so smug and arrogant. Get rekt.

We did it. Championship. Never in doubt.

Kyrie deserved Finals MVP.
Lebron still not a "top 5" player all time.

sleeper;1800748 wrote:Also, can we talk about Curry? Disappeared entirely in the Finals and seems to have no real presence on the court if his shot isn't falling. No way anyone can argue he's the best player in the NBA right now successfully.

Honestly he was about the 8th most important player in the finals.

sleeper;1800770 wrote:8th is being generous.

1) LBJ
2) Irving
3) Green
4) TT
5) Klay
6) JR
7) Bogut
8) Love
9) AI
10) RJ
11) Curry

I have him at 11. Your unanimous MVP everyone!

Importance I would put him second.....as in his poor performance was very integral on how this series ended up, and the fact he flopped made him very important.

Just semantics I suppose.

sleeper;1800720 wrote:Also, the Warriors will never be the same. I'm not saying they won't have a good season next year but I'm no longer worried about playing them in the future.

Luke Walton is gone. Barnes is gone. Curry will regress(he has too, no chance he replicates last season). Iggy will be back but I think he's done playing at a high level.

They will likely lose some of their role players too: Barbaso, Speights, Ezeli, Varejao. I don't see them really being able to build a team with their lack of cap space.
