Raiders to the playoffs!

P.S. This isn't a Warriors board and I almost didn't say anything but yes I jealous haha. As a Warrior fan, you have to know that you caught a break facing LeBron without his "REAL" support. But a ring is a ring i guess.

Well I won't extrapolate on this, but it seems that general fanbase loves taking away from our win... here's a few counters. In detail they're more convincing, so if you want to head over to the W's board, we can break it down. Cliff notes:

- Kyrie and Love's RAPM (best metric for performance predicting) had both of them as neutrals for the Cavs. Meaning that when Tristan and Delly took their minutes, the Cavs performed about the same

- LeBron is so good that giving him the ball in isolation is still their best player almost all the time. Still, he shot sub 40% against Iguodala. And he'd still be taking the bulk of shots, even with Irving there.

- Warriors played the long game, Cavs didn't. Warriors rested starters, Cavs pushed them back into action too soon. Warriors built depth, Cavs threw together some midseason trades based on what was out there. One had a plan, the other tried to scrape one together

My arguement is that with Love and Irving on the floor, Lebron is able to actually get some rest without the offense going to absolute crap.

More importantly, the team is able to sub normally. Thompson and Mozy get better. Mike Miller never plays most likely and James Jones minutes are cut in half probably.

Even in the biggest win (game 4), they had it within 5pts maybe less and Lebron said he gassed out due to not getting his normal rest thru games 2, 3 and then that game. Of course he takes most of the shots. HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. Yes, Iggy did a great job on him but in game 5 and 6 and he still avg 36pts. But being the best in the world also mean that also means he makes his teammates better. He doesn't have to ISO everytime to get pts. He can play off of Irving creating and getting to the lane. He can play off of Irving running the pick and roll/pop with Love Mozy and Thompson. Love and Irving are there to hit those open jumpers when he does iso and gets to the lane and draws 3 extra defenders.

So Im suppose to believe that Irving and Love aren't worth plus 10-15pts. SMH! Well, that makes atleast game 6 a Cavs win and most likely game 5 too. That's series. But lets say that the Warriors do win game 5 and Cavs get 6. Who is your money on in game 7 with Lebron Irving Love Thompson Mozy Shumpert Smith Jones and Delly rested the same as Curry Thompson Green Iggy Bogut Barnes Livingston Ezeli and Barbosa. That is a game 7 that no one in the world can predict or can miss. We all lost out on a great all-time series!

Even Kerr said it. We just have to wait for them to get tired. And they did.

If it's not Raider related ITT, it's in Chinese to me.

Glad Mario finally got on board.
I'm really excited about this draft and the talent we found in it. I'm excited about this team.
Young character guys who all look to be working towards restoring the name.

I think Coop and Mario are gonna be just fine.
X-Factor: if Clive Walford is anywhere near a good player, I think we're going to be on sooner than later and Carr is going to look really good.
