You guys showed a ton of grit and fight. I expect to see your team back in the finals next year. Wasn't in the cards this year in many ways, but at least yup have that impressive playoff performance to show for it.

Congrats indeed.

I'm not particularly a Cavs fan, but they put together a truly inspiring season.

They have a bright future. If they complete their roster and survive injuries, I could see them winning 2 in a row the way Miami did.

Barring a 2008 Celtics style offseason somewhere, the East should logically remain theirs. In the West, the Warriors are likely to either regress or see their luck run out. The Spurs might finally be too old to go the whole way, for real this time, although we should never count them out. The Clippers still lack depth, and the Rockets are pretenders.

The only team I can see posing a real challenge is a hungry, "title-or-bust" Thunder with a healthy Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka as well as a better coach (although Blatt will have NBA Finals experience on Donovan this time). But personally I'd bet on the Cavs to win it all next year. Especially since I can imagine more things going wrong with the Thunder, such as Durant and Westbrook having problems figuring out their respective roles, whereas the blueprint for how the Cavs can win it is pretty clear.

I was rooting for you guys in the finals. Your Cavs put in a good effort, sorry that the Cavs came up short.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I love the team the Warriors put together this year. They had their star player and leader, but there were no big egos or selfish players. They let others praise them instead of pumping their chests. The coach was open to suggestions from all of his staff and wasn't insecure about their input. A player like Howard would've ruined the chemistry and I'm glad they didn't get him

The Cavs-Warriors series showed the importance of teamwork. One player can make a difference, but only a team can win a championship. If you look at the Warriors, you won't find any big egos that can destroy a team's chemistry, only those who possess the self confidence that the team is bigger than the individual. We have a superstar, but you won't hear him say that. He lets others do his promoting
