We were down by 13 points to start the 4th quarter of game 7 in the first round against the Pacers. In reality we were lucky as a star-less team to make the Eastern finals.


no we weren't.


In a really close series or close games, luck does play a factor a lot of times. Look at the Ray Allen vs Spurs shot. Maybe Ray makes that shot 4 out of 10 times. Or what about foul calls. One bad call could be the difference in a game. The Indiana series really could have went either way. The two teams were really close.

In the Miami series, it was more clear that we were the better team in the end.

Also, Lowry is a near superstar at his best, but isn't consistently at the top of his game to be one..making him a perennial all-star level type of player. Derozan's closer to a borderline star at his best. However, in the Indiana series, they were both non-all-star level. We just had the better big men and JV was playing like a star..so we weren't exactly star-less.

Curry, Klay and Green have all shot 50% or better from the 3 tonight :o

15-32 and counting so far for the Warriors.

It's a 3-for-all party.

The Cavs can't match up against this team. Cavs management is a damn joke. I can't believe they thought they could compete with the Warriors with this roster.

So basically the finals was OKC-GSW. The east is just WC encore.

Great team effort by the Warriors at home. May they regroup and play like they're 0-0 on the road and at least split. It's not a series till someone loses at home, so hopefully the Warriors bring the cohesion and intensity the rest of the way.

Man, the Cavs should have never traded Wiggins. That rookie scale contract would have given them so many options. Love has been terrible for them.

WTF? No they would not have, it goes back to what I said earlier. The talent gap between GSW and Cleveland is as big as Cleveland and Toronto.

The Warriors are not the Cavaliers, this series is proof the Thunder put forth an amazing effort on defense.

When LeBron was talking about "not 5, not 6, not 7" he wasn't talking about championships. He was talking about finals losses. He wants 8 of them to tie Jerry West and become the NBA's new logo.

The Cavs are really good though. They are going to take this series. Lebron. Kyrie. Lebron. Lebron. Did I mention Lebron?
