Warriors got what they deserved, but at the same time the Cavs didn't get what they deserved imo. Very confusing, albeit entertaining, series.
Really? I definitely disagree with that one. I'd take Klay over Jimmy every time.
So, Superbowl?
Only thing I see that Klay is better at is shooting. When he's not hitting, he's non existent offensively.
I don't buy that. LeBron lost two finals with that loaded Heat team. While I can excuse 2007 and last year (injuries) I can't excuse the loss to the Mavs at all, and they survived 2013 thanks to a rebound and a Ray Allen three.
Perhaps its just the homer in me, but I can't put LeBron > Jordan in any circumstance. The best LeBron can be to me is the 2nd best player in NBA history.

It would have been his second greatest accomplishment had he been able to unload his Akron compound to Johnny Manziel.
The Cavs got a bye to the Finals. Golden State was beaten up. LeBron got Green suspended. I am impressed that Cleveland came back from 3-1 with 2 road wins, but I think there will always be a sense that the Warriors choked away the series moreso than the Cavs stepped up and won it. I don't know if that's fair.
Green should have been suspended in the Thunder series, which might have resulted in Oklahoma City winning that series and probably the whole thing. If Green punches anyone other than LeBron, he doesn't get suspended in the Finals IMO, which might have resulted in GS closing out the series in 5.
Bogut was a lot bigger for them than it appears to be. Definitely was a major factor.The series really changed when Bogut went down. Lebron and kyrie feasted on the paint. I think Lebron hit one or two jumpers game 7. Iggy lost his explosion. He may be done soon. They said he could barely walk out the dressing room in game 6. Curry beat to shit. He has to get stronger. Gs bigs were awful so was Harrison barnes

I could more so blame the Splash Bros sucking though than anything else. Can't rely on your role players for everything.

Well when it's Varejao and Ezeli there is nothing to worry about.Yea, the thing was Thompson out working them and being able to come off the weak side and still block any gs big made guarding the outside easier. They were double teaming Steph and having no problem defending the big that was rolling

If anyone remembers last year, David Lee was a big factor in beating Cleveland. GSW missed that this season.

It's kinda like the 90s Bulls. Minus a few seasons, they had cake walk to the Finals while the west teams were playing all 7 games.Yea, a lot of factors. I give Cleveland it's due. I do agree with Remy that Cleveland was in better health because of the cake walk east playoffs for them. They looked like the more energetic team to the end

What I will never understand is why Speights didn't play more. He came in those 3 minutes and made an impact. Ezeli and Varejao were awful.
He doesn't play D. Turns out neither do the other 2

This is easily Lebron's greatest accomplishment.
His first title was against a very young OKC team that he should of beat with Wade, Bosh and the explosions from Mike Miller and Shane Battier.
His second title may have never been hadn't it been for Ray Allen. Remember the security had brought out the barriers already?
This series however, was without a doubt his greatest achievement. Coming back from 3-1 against arguably the greatest regular season team ever and averaging the numbers he did...It's up there with some of Jordan's greatest Finals series.
You can't compare this man to Jordan though from an accomplishment standpoint or from a style standpoint. Lebron is more Magic/Big O. Kobe is more Jordan than Lebron.
MJ was 6-0 in the Finals. Never went to a game 7. The shrug, the flu game and the final shot against Utah (no pushoff). Averaging 40 points in the Phoenix series. 1 series from Lebron doesn't erase the embarrassing losses to the Mavericks and Spurs.
