You discredit it. People that know sports know that injuries are a wash ultimately.

You benefit from injuries sometimes, you're hurt by them other times. That's just sports.

yea but GSW was the best team the last 5 with every team all full strength. We should recognize their run of dominance and not downplay by saying stuff like they lost to lebron. Bc we all know why they lost.

Warriors won 67 and cavs won 50 or whatever in the east


67 and 53 in 2015. 73 and 57 in 2016.

We know math isn’t your strong suit WBB, but that means the warriors were 14 games better in 2015 and 16 games better in 2016. Remind us, which year did Cleveland beat them again?

quote:

and people are acting like Kevin love woulda made a difference that one year.


So WBB, if Kevin love is not a difference maker then how was Cleveland a super team?

quote:

intellectual dishonesty is something I just can’t deal with


What kind of intellectual dishonesty exactly WBB?

The kind that conveniently forgets that Kylie Irving also missed the 2015 finals?

The kind that changes the definition of things to whatever makes harden look good and/or Lebron look bad?

The kind that literally makes up quotes and statistics to try to pass off as fact?

These are all your areas of expertise.

A title is a title, but I’ll always remember Golden State’s injuries more than anything else

Hell I think they would have won if Klay hadn’t torn his ACL in Game 6

That’s only definitely true after they got Durant WBB.

Or like they would’ve lost to Houston without Chris paul’s injury last year, right WBB?

Bc we all know why they lost.


Because cleveland’s 2nd and 3rd best players actually played the vast majority of the 2016 finals after missing the vast majority of the 2015 finals, right WBB?

You bring your stupidity and terrible trolls to basically every nba thread on this board WBB. Not like you’re hard to find.

I can’t appreciate it due to fact that the biggest reason for them being that dominant was the unfair and artificial poaching of KD.

Lol

“I’m going to discredit this title because of injuries but I have no idea why people discredit this other title because of injuries”

Be consistent. Either discredit titles because of injuries or don’t. You can’t pick and choose.

Personally I prefer not to discredit titles because injuries are part of the game.

Harden still has 5 years of prime and they will contend for titles every year unless he is hurt. Oh and he never gets hurt either FYI. Bc when you have harden you have all time great offense and you are always in the mix.

Pretty convenient when the two best players in the world were injured this season.

Their trophy looks just like everyone else’s, who really cares?

It’s like Arkansas and Ole Miss fans trying to discredit LSU 2007 bc of the 2 losses. It’s jealousy pure and simple.

How was I being inconsistent? I explained why I believe the injury situations in east Finals were different.

we're just talking truth here. Toronto doesn't beat the Warriors with KD and Klay.
