That scoffed at me for suggesting Lebron/Kyrie is the most talented duo in the NBA?

    Green and Thompson are pretty good.

    Curry - sell, sell, sell.

    Not making an excuse because as a team the Warriors embraced and went after it ... but I do wonder what the toll of getting to 73 took on them

    Over the last 2 series, it's impossible to not see the fatigue in them

    A lot confuse explanations with excuses

    It's still Durant and Westbrook. But LeBron finding the 6th gear in games 5-7 put them over the top.

    Tequilla knew

    The fatigue was apparent. Injuries amounted; see Steph Curry coming off his knee injury against the Rockets. He couldn't even shake Kevin Love while driving it in.

    What's amazing is harrison barnes. If Harrison Barnes did better then this:

    5/3/0.7/0.7/0.7 on .153/.200/.500 in games 5-7.

    They win. How does a starting SF accumulate those stats in the finals?

    The King prevailed. I won't discuss Draymond getting suspended (don't kick people in the nuts) or Bogut getting injured (injury prone) because its the risk you have with playing those players.

    The championship is legit.

    The hilarious thing is that it helped Kevin Durant decided on going to the Warriors during Free Agency because the Warriors lost.
    Some part of Durant knew he'd already punched his ticket. "It felt like that whole thing was set up for me to leave," he says, "especially after they blew a lead in the finals, because I damn sure wasn't going there if they'd won. But after Game Seven, I called up my agent and said, 'Damn, dude, Golden State - what if?'"
    Source

    And it looks like the King's championship window is over because of it. It's like he sold his soul to the devil for that championship ring in 2016. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead and got Kevin Durant as a consolation.

    Lebron just wrapped up his 6th straight Finals.
    He's on that michael jordan "recovery juice" lets be real.

    how did he lose so much weight before the NBA started testing for HGH when he left for Miami?

    That's the kind of deflected response expected from someone that can't dispute the actual opinion

    Are the Warriors fatigued this year? Is Curry hurt?

    Let's get on record before they blow the series

    Except they lost 2 more games after he came back unless I am missing sarcasm here which I think I am

    I also said that the Green suspension was huge, Bogut's injury not helping, Barnes disappearance troubling, and that it was obvious that Curry wasn't healthy.

    I also was very congratulatory of how LBJ played and the work they did to win the series.

    But yes, I will still claim that last year's results were very abnormal. A lot had to go right for Cleveland.

    Cleveland won and that's all there is to it. LeBron played the greatest Finals I have seen in my lifetime.

    LeBron knows how to push Draymond's buttons and get him to mentally check out.
