No team has ever back from down 3-0 in any series period. If the Cavs were this all-time great team you guys say, then they would've won one of the first 3 games and actually made the series competitive. Not lose in 5 games with the one win being irrelevant. That series should've at least went 6 games.


No team had ever come back from 3-1 down either, what’s your point?

2014 Spurs
2013 Heat
2016 Warriors
2018 Rockets

Spurs had the best overall team due to their chemistry and absolute balance, and also won the title.

Really don't get how anyone can put the Warriors over the Rockets unless you think that adding Kevin Durant made the Warriors worse.

Warriors didn't "add" KD, they actually gave up a lot of depth to get him. Plus KD was playing in a way that was detrimental to the Warriors in the 18 series.

Regular season vs playoffs is totally different for these.

Its entirely possible the Warriors declined from 2017 to 2018. Pretty much every measurable metric promotes that idea. The 2017 and 2018 Warriors aren't the same thing.

Honestly I think the 2016 team was better than the 2018 team, they just had better chemistry and put a lot more effort into the little things.

And the warriors were 2-0 vs rockets (with CP3) after Durant went out with the calf injury.

Against the rockets, Curry was more effective despite Kerr's reluctance to use him
