This will be the first Finals where I'm 100% Lebron. I was a hater until what he did in the finals last year. Hated him when he went to Miami and he was talking shit when the only "accomplishment" he had was getting clown shoed by the Spurs in his only finals appearance. He lost to Dwight Howard one year for Christ's sake.
Now that he has HIS team it's fun watching him every night be the floor general that he is. I love seeing him chew out his own guys constantly on the floor when the fuck up. You can see how much winning really means to him. He doesn't talk anymore he just plays and he fucking destroys teams by himself.
This is a big finals for him. If he wins he is breathing down Jordan's neck and if he loses then he will have a lot of catching up to do. I also fucking hate what the Warriors have done to basketball. It's not fun watching a team just chuck up deep 3s all the time. Durant is good but he is a huge pussy and I hope Lebron crushes his ring chasing dreams into oblivion.

Go Cavs.
GSW 30 assists per game
CLE 22.6
Chinteresting logic.
And Cleveland jacks threes at a higher rate that Golden State as well. (40.2% of possessions- second in the NBA of possession vs. 36% for GSW sixth in the NBA).
The NBA has changed dramatically in that every team shoots more 3's than the team that shot the most 10 years ago. Even back to 10 years ago, teams drafted the best athletes hoping they could teach them skills.
Now the smart teams draft the most skilled players with the athleticism to make it,
LeBron proved that you can never count him out and Lue schemed to take Thompson and Curry out of the series in the 2nd half of it last year. While Thompson has more or less taken himself out of the playoffs offensively, Cleveland won't be able to do that this year with Durant out there.
If LeBron can pull this one out, He nudges up right beside Jordan as the GOAT.
I don't have much use for we would have won bullshit. YOU BLEW A 3-1 LEAD YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.
The Warriors' owner is talking shit. Green is talking about destroying the Cavs.
Golden State will win the first game by 30 then lose 4 straight as Durrant chokes again against James.
They move the ball consistently ...
Their off the ball movement is spectacular ...
They routinely show that they play for each other and put team accomplishments above individual stats ...
As Pop said after the Western Finals, what the Warriors don't get credit for is how good defensively they are ... when they lock in defensively and mirror that with their elite offensive game it's as pure of basketball as you get ...
If you want to get critical with the way the Warriors play it's that every once in a while they (Curry in particular) will take some 3's that in an ideal world aren't the best of shots ... but it's part of their game and nobody looks sideways about it ...
Forget any BS reason as to why KD went to the Warriors and particularly the narrative about chasing a ring ... he went to GS because of the unselfishness and team atmosphere that is inline with how he views the game (go listen/read any interview before/during the season) and the antithesis of what OKC was ...
GS pissed away the Finals last year and they know it ... the Cavs to me look like a Sark type team in that they are great front runners but sometimes can get a little ragged when they get punched in the mouth. GS is by far the better defensive team. The only thing that the Cavs do better defensively than GS is play more physical (helped them big time last year in the Finals) ... I suspect that this will be in an issue in this year's Finals. GS has multiple people that can at least compete against LBJ ... which is a huge aspect to slowing down the Cavs from just getting whatever they want when teams can't.
I'd be very surprised if the Warriors didn't win this series in at most 5 games.
