    Anybody that picked the Cavs simply subscribed to the idea that the best player in the series is LBJ, that the Cavs won last year, and therefore would win this year ...

    They forgot the following:

    1) Last year was a bit of a fluke

    2) Warriors got SIGNIFICANTLY better by adding Durant

    3) The dirty secret that LBJ may not be EASILY the best player on the court anymore (if at all) ...

    I like our chances.

    Hate to agree with Tequila in a basketball thread, but last year was insanely fluky.

    You had the Tom Rinaladi and fat face Cleveland special about their lack of championships.

    Hurt Curry

    Suspended Draymond

    It was destiny.

    Take the screenshots, here comes the sweep.

    Can you honestly say that LBJ is better than Durant at this point?

    And I don't think that the Warriors would trade KD for LBJ straight up

    Yes Brons better.

    Agree GS isn't making that trade. Neither is Cleveland.

    Great teams don't lose by a "fluke". They win. The Warriors lost. Game 7 at home and they lost.

    So far Durant has lost a Finals 4-1 and blown a 3-1 lead in the WCF. Now he is hiding behind the Big 3 at Golden State who are 1-1 in the Finals without him.

    Lebron is in his 7th straight finals, 8 total.

    Durant is clearly better. fuck
