The biggest loss in that series was Bogut. Couldnt protect the rim at all.


Yup. Everyone focused on the chemistry that was perhaps upset by the Green suspension, but look at how the Cavs attacked the minute Bogut went down. Eye-opening.

I'm not arguing the loss of Bogut was immaterial. And full strength, the Warriors are probably better than Cle in 2016, I just think Cavs matchup well with them.

But you can't have it both ways. You can't say Warriors lost Bogut or they would win in 2016 all while claiming no effect for Cavs losing Kyrie, Shump, and Love.

And say stuff like

all while Perkins played in 2015.

That's what my was for. They IMO are more likely to lose to a Utah or Memphis in rd 1 than they are of winning the whole conference.

So you think there is no possible way that Draymond's suspension in game 5, which the Cavs won easily by 15, could have even slightly derailed GS team chemistry?
Or maybe given the Cavs momentum they needed? or an edge to want to win more badly??
Or the fact that Draymond was arguably GS best player throughout the finals, and he could've led the warriors to an easy win at home to seal the series and embarrass the Cavs in 5 games

But no, since he was able to play in game 7 that means his game 5 absence means nothing i guess


I don't think his absence mattered that day. Golden State's biggest mistake was when their players started taking shots at LeBron after Game 4 and they pissed him off. He went to another level after that and there was nothing they could do about it. LeBron was a freight train going downhill for all of Game 5 and Kyrie was making insanely awesome shots all night.

They poked the bear. Don't poke the bear.

Of course, but what does that have to do with my point? You said "I could also say that the only reason the Cavs won last year is because of the Draymond suspension." Based on the fact that the Cavs won game 7 on the road, you literally can't say that. Makes sense?

quote:

1. An edge to want to win more? You don't think the Cavs were at the max for the want to win?

quote:

Yep, he definitely could have. But you can't say he definitely would have led them to victory.

Wait, so because I said it wouldn't guarantee GS a win like you actually said, that means I think it wouldn't have meant anything? Bruh, you trolling right now?

You do realize that by saying this you're also saying that Lebron wasn't giving max effort the 1st 4 games, right?

Which is silly, by the way.

That definitely had more to do with it than Lebron deciding to try harder because just winning the Finals wasn't enough motivation, but the Warriors trash talking made him want it more!!!

He gave 100% effort. It just seems like he got angrier and wanted to show them who's boss after that. Almost like his mentality changed.

No I was saying if it started here then since then it had spread to other places. Once I saw that it was created here if I saw it other places it must be people who see it here and bring it to tweet and Reddit.

I hope the Spurs get the Rockets somehow in the postseason. Would love to watch SA dismantle Hou.

HOU in 6.

Current version of Spurs play Their best ball in the regular season. Not in the playoffs like when Timmy manu tony were in their prime. These aren't those Spurs anymore.

Second round. Assuming sa gets thru Memphis, and Houston gets thru okc.

Clippers injured as always. They are sliding. SA and HOU will be 2-3 or 3-2 it seems. March 6 we gonna get drunk on your tears baw.
