    Tequilla predictably slithers out once the Warriors win, arrogantly proclaiming the up-by-six Cavaliers were doomed to lose at half and mocks anyone who thought otherwise as worthy of scorn. He makes Dawgman basketball posters look like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    Wrong

    I mock Dead Dog on the Road because that’s what I like to do

    I give Haie shit for posting daily updates about a Portland team that got swept in Round 1

    I give you shit because you let your bias of where you live irrationally cloud your judgement on the Warriors. Also, because of your age you are on the cut line for not really ever watching MJ play at the time and because LBJ is the greatest you’ve seen with your eyes you get irrational with anybody that doesn’t agree with your opinion

    GS is the flukiest dynasty of all tim. Come at me bro.
    • 2015 Finals - Play a Cavs team that loses Kyrie to injury in game 1 of the Finals, and whose second best player after him is Timofey Mozgov.
    • 2016 Finals - What was supposedly the greatest team of all-time chokes its ass off in a collapse for the ages. Don't give me the Draymond shit excuse. He was there for game 6 and game 7 at home.
    • 2017 WCF - Spurs are stomping on their dicks in game one of the WCF and then Kawhi (best two-way player in the league) gets hurt and GS rolls from there.
    • 2018 playoffs - play the Spurs sans-Kawhi in round one, no Boogie Cousins for NO in the semis, Houston up 3 - 2 in the WCF and Chris Paul goes down and misses the final two games.

    Strange and/or bed refs. What happened to the corrupt refs that would have stretched the series out for David Stern?

    Game 5 doesn’t swing anything for Durant. Westbrook shot the ball better, had more assists and steals. Durant went 3-10 in the fourth quarter and Westbrook shot 4-8. That’s your big trump card?

    Westbrook was -14 in Game 5.

    Durant and Westbrook were both negative in all 3 games. Durant was better than Westbrook but we don’t know what lineups each was playing in with the other out.

    Plus minus can be a wonky stat. Dion Waiter for example was plus 7 in game 7 while shooting 2-9. Enes Kanter was +15 in 10 minutes in game 6. Over a whole season +/- is an ok stat but not over 3 games.
