Well they are the best team in the league.

Milwaukee. Experience might get them, but nothing suggests they aren’t the best team in the NBA. They were historically good on metrics and they won the most games. And in the playoffs, they are beating teams by about the same margin. They are really freaking good.

The Warriors are quietly proving that KD going there was the biggest bitch move of all time.

Yep. Hate to say it but if Draymond didn't decide to be a bitch and get suspended in the Finals against the Cavs they'd probably have a real long run of rings.

I'm aware, I was just hoping that missing 2/5 of their starting line up including arguable their best player would catch up to them, and it still could. Every time you think they may be in some trouble Iguodala, Green, and fucking Kevon Looney are making huge plays.

This narrative is bullshit.  Kevin Love was also out for 1.5 games.  Not to mention, nobody was stopping Kyrie/Lebron during game 5.  They both were ON and they both went off. 

If we want to nitpick about shit like this, then the Warriors never win the first title if Kyrie/Love are healthy and if they refs didn't fuck the Cavs over in game 1 with a travel call on Mozgov. 

So, Milwaukee in 7 then?

Yeah, I get that mode of thinking and don't necessarily disagree. Kyrie/Love didn't take themselves out of the series like Draymond did with his dumbfuckery.

My main point is, the Cavs were not going to lose game 5 even if Draymond played. The secondary point is the "important" player being out narrative is a weak one when you consider the fact Love was out for 1.5 games that series.

Cavs def were not going to lose game 5. Kyrie and LBJ both went for 40+.

It's funny how everyone forgets about Kevin Love, but loves to point out the warriors were without their 5ht leading scorer in the finals and didn't have KD yet. If Cavs didn't lose Kyrie and Kevin Love in 2015, we'd be talking about our 2nd championship as well.

Until they land Donovan or Stevens lol

 

LoL...close :facepalm:

I won’t enjoy Golden State winning the title but on the plus side maybe Drake will shut the fuck up

Who has a better shot at beating Golden State?  Raptors or Bucks?  Or Warriors?

Drake's presence in the finals has set the stage to have me surprisingly wanting Golden State to win. This is a weird feeling.

Does LeBron get credit for a 9th straight finals appearance as the owner of the Raptors?

Yep, really good teams NEVER lose in the playoffs. Raptors, btw, are very good too. Should I get credit for picking them to the finals the moment they traded for Kawhi? 

this place is a fucking ghost town anymore. 

Anyways, Toronto playing Golden State tough. Leonard, Siakam, and Ibaka play good pick and roll defense. I’m cautiously optimistic provided Toronto wins this game. 

Of all the Warriors easy to hate, Iguodala should get more mentioning
