This should have been a sweep Cousins was the only reason that didn't happen

Why would anyone think that? Especially without adding the included circumstances?

Look up my post in P1. I said Raps would win it all.

Yes. Thought it would be Raps in 4.

Be honest, did you ever think Kawhi Leonard would be a good basketball player prior to his birth? Seriously now, what kind of question is this? Nobody thought that, everybody knows that nobody thought that, so I don't understand the point of this thread.

I guessed Raps in 4

If that's the case Warriors were paper champs if everything just rested on Durant. Seeing as they won 73 games and a ring before he got there.

Even if they lose the next 3 games, this is a near all-time great team. Who would have thought that they would develop this type of chemistry this quick? Raps chemistry is as good as any team we have seen in a long time.

2015: GSW wins against a depleted Cavs team
2016: Both teams fully healthy equally talented with some god like performances. Fantastic series.
2017: Forgettable
2018: forgettable
2019: Happy raps win it but equally just as forgettable.
Clearly the western conference doesn't pack the punch it once did. I dont see the Warriors getting KD to resign. Seems that most of the elite teams will be on the eastern side from now on. So do we expect the east to start dominating the finals from now on? Because i dont see any team from the west being able to matchup well with any of the elite teams in the east.
I just dont want anymore **** finals it's so frustrating..This is what we wait all season for..an epic finals, And from 2017 onwards it has been absolute **** Garbage. Just shows how much of what KD did **** the whole NBA landscape.

If you want better Finals watch the NHL.
