Warriors taking the biggest L ever in NBA history omg

Living in the Bay, I no longer have to listen to bandwagoners mansplain to me how the Warriors are transcending the NBA game ever again.

For that, I thank you Lebron.
 
We said the same thing about our Cavs last year which were without our 2nd and 3rd best players and still pushed it to 6. Fuck being kinda unhealthy, Kyrie and Kevin WERE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR THE FINALS. People still shit in LeBron for losing another Finals.

Steph could at least play, and he poured in 30 in game 6 so keep the excuses to yourself. He was largely well guarded and got very few good looks from what has usually been a somewhat leaky perimeter defense. Not in this series. If you're hoping for 100% players in June, golf is the sport you want to follow.

In hindsight, perhaps they should have skipped trying to set that NBA record. They looked TIRED. The consequence of playing like 10 more games than the Cavs in the playoffs and quite a few more minutes at the end of the season in their pursuit of the record.

Umm.. All the guy said is he wished Curry was fully healthy. I'm sure if asked, he would have wanted Love and Irving out there last year too.
 
Steph's gotta adjust his game to suit the rigors of the postseason. Warriors need help on the boards alongside a replacement for Min Barnes.

Nah Steph does not need to adjust his game he played consistently great up until the knee injury vs the rockets and then when he came back he was inconsistent. He had spurts of being the player he was throughout the season but never had the sustained greatness he showed for most of the year.

Aww, come on now. E-40 is cool.
 
I think this series has sealed Lebron's place as one of the best of all time. To do what he's done with less of a supporting cast (for example compared to Kobe) than other stars is history making stuff.
 
Just got back from Downtown CLE. It was absolutely insane and I've never seen that many people so ecstatic before. Thousands cheering and celebrating in the streets for blocks. It was beautiful. And the fact that the game was so close the entire time made it all the more glorious. Seriously so happy right now!

But what about those stats that said the Cavs would never be able to pull it off??????
 
Is Whiteside even available?

Dwight is just someone you stay far away from at his point in his career.

They're not getting a big that's any better than Bogut in the offseason at this point.

Durant would be a really good fit despite some defensive short comings.

They probably have to get somebody significant to show Steph curry they mean business. He's got one year left on his contract.
I believe Whiteside's an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Warriors have him and they easily beat this Cleveland team.
 
Did those 2 cav losses to the raptors toughen them up, prepare them to deal with adversity? Sure looked like cavs were mentally tough coming back like that!
 
Folks saying lebron is washed, he has another 3 years in his prime MINIMUM. dude is a greek god and not made of glass like Rose.

I don't want to disparage LeBron on a night like tonight but the dude is already on his downward slide. He went from averaging over 50% every season in Miami to being terrible at jumpshots this season.
 
Is it debatable that he wasn't fully healthy?

Does it matter? Ask the players and I'm sure everyone is dealing with a nagging issue. Some people just can't handle Curry not elevating his play when needed. It's not like it's not a precedent. Curry didn't win Finals MVP last year either.
