LeBron would never have LeBron Jr traded

Curry making a strong push for MVP...It's almost as if KD is going easy to give Steph a chance to steal it.

Clarkson with the DNP in a blowout in the finals... That's pretty rough even as bad as he's been lately.

Wonder what Steph told JC, that was a long convo.

"Hey man, thanks for shooting Cleveland out of contention. See you next year for our three-peat."

Dubs couldn't even fake their excitement. Most awkward championship celebration I've ever seen. :lol:

Don’t put Kobe’s name in your mouth when you speak of lebron. He would have never let that hoe **** switch happened and no drew any points or free throws like lebron ass

According to NBA.com/Stats, James has had 26 possessions with Curry as his primary defender in the first three games of the Finals, almost nine per game. These possessions have come primarily toward the ends of games, when James methodically slows the offense, points at Curry’s man, and calls for a screen, at which point the Warriors’ switching defense demands Curry switch onto James. In the 26 times this has happened, James has zero points. He’s taken five shots, missing all five, and he’s never been fouled in the act of shooting. This from a player averaging 37.7 points in the Finals—but, apparently, zero against Golden State’s worst defender.

Calderon should have played all playoffs over him to be honest. Same with korver over Hood. Then they would have spacing

Swaggy Champion P baby. Played his role all year, did his part, and helped them win. Right team, right situation, and a good environment which wasn’t present with Scott, DAngelo, or Arenas in his career early on.

Javale McGee played great the way he was used by Kerr as well. And Livingston is the utmost of a constant professional.

KD jumping ship had to be the worst move of the decade considering the circumstances but Dubs FO were like chess masters with their acquisitions. High IQ players and players with the skills they needed.

Curry at a discount was the most impactful move and the one that allowed a KD move. It wasn't exactly rocket science. Their best move was not trading klay/dray for love, and props to jerry west for allegedly being the shot caller on that. The rest was a cake walk

Plus, they got a massive, massive break with the cap spike. Sometimes you just need to get lucky. As we should know.
