Right now there's four legitimate championship contenders for next season, Cavs, us, GSW and OKC.

Hoping this doesn't mean Durant will feel like he can go to the Warriors and not look like a complete wimp.


If Durant goes to the Warriors, they are not winning another title. There is not nearly enough ball to go around not to mention Iggy is 5 times the defender Durant is. I hope he does go there, it will be a complete disaster.


:lol: are you crazy??? Warriors would be unstoppable if they manage to add Durant to an already historically great team. Let's not forget Curry, Iggy, Bogut were all hurt this series. Curry barely has a shell of his former self this season since he got hurt.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I know that feeling Curry and Klay are experiencing right now when our team went through the same thing losing in the CIS Nationals this year after having our best season ever.

Lowry is great but he isn't LBJ/Curry. We need two Lowry caliber players AKA Tier 2 stars to be able to win

The joy is buffered by having t-shirt team win. Turns the stomach a little bit.


Exact thought I had. Great win for Cleveland. Too bad they won it in those t-shirts.

I think I heard somewhere that the players on the current team get a vote on whether or not Varejao gets a ring because he was on the roster for most of the championship season.

I don't know if that's true though. And I don't know how they'd vote.

Leonard is a top 5 player in the NBA and Lowry is not. End of discussion.

Man. I love my Raptors as much as anyone but let's be real here. That was just a straight choke job by the Ws and an insane performance by LeGOCE James.

Also, Draymond is very fortunate he hit those threes this game otherwise he'd be the one being called out as the greatest choker of all time. Now Steph's gonna have to wear most of it on his own. (Bet Klay's feeling pretty good that he always embraced the third banana role).

Ujiri: Hey...We're gonna get it. I don't know when it'll be, but we're gonna get it. Just like I said we'll get the first one and I said I didn't know when we'd get it...But we will. Guarantee you we will.
