And you know why

Because @Montalban Official Bitch About The Warriors thread was slowing down?

mmmm, we've all grown weary of the Warriors' tired act this year.

Adding to my suspicion that Cousins may be as much of a problem as a benefit for this team

I think it comes back to Kerr though. Well and Boogie accepting a lesser role in certain matchups.

Like Against small ball PNR teams like Houston and boston, maybe Cousins plays 15-20 minutes instead of 25-30.

What is going on with the Warriors and lakers lately? What has happened to the western conference?

 

[tlance]

Seems fair, though not sure we know they still don't win. They did win games 3 with Green and Bogut in there, and game 6 and 7 with Green.

won a couple games the previous postseason with no Love nor Kyrie and Green and Bogut healthy.

Of course.

We don't anything aside from what actually happened.

My belief is that GS would have won both years if both teams were 100%.

My guess is that you believe the opposite. And that is fine.

Reality is that each team got 1 and both titles were deserved.

 

[tlance]

you are right, but pretty sure Lance agreed with you. I didn't see it, but if you gave him a BS rating for agreeing that does seem odd.

Well,

He gives me a BS rating no matter what I post because he doesn't like me.

 

[tlance]

Huh? Love had a concussion DURING the series. That is less significant than a guy who got hurt 2 months prior? Kyrie had also missed a lot of time earlier in the season and would think his knee was less than ideal.

The Cavs also won the game that he missed. By a lot.

And recovery from a concussion is much different than recovery from a knee injury. Once you clear concussion protocol, you should be full go as long as the protocol was handled by the book.

As for Kyrie's knee?

The issue is recovery time.

Kyrie missed games early in the year, came back to a minutes limit and sat out random regular season games so that he could be fully healthy for the playoffs.

Curry got hurt in the playoffs and missed like 8 playoff games. If that same injury occured in the regular season, he would have missed at least a month and been eased back in like Kyrie was. He not eased back in. He immediately returned to a full work load because his team needed him to advance.

Is everybody somewhat less than 100% in the NBA Fonals?

Yes.

But Curry was probably closer to 75%.

And that doesn't take anything away from Cleveland. They won and deserved it just like GS did in 2015.

 

[tlance]

Right...the equivalent to B would have been Klay and Green missing all but 1 game between them.

See,

You can't do that though. There is no equivalent.

Because GS was all about the system. Losing any 1 of their big 3 crippled the entire thing.

As long as LeBron was on the floor, Cleveland was formidable to all but the KD Warriors.

If you made a pie chart and divided the percentage of team success attributable to the play of their stars, Cleveland's would have looked something KD this:

LeBron 65%
Kyrie 25%
Love 10%

2016 GS would look more like this:

Curry 40%
Dray 30%
Klay 25%
Iggy 5%

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[DJ]

They've won 5 of 7 with him playing. Did you miss that?

5 of 7? He's played in 11 games this season.

Maybe you missed that.

Alex Trebek diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.....wow.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yeah, but again, who cares? Injuries are a part of the game. If you're trying to say your victory in 2016 was more impressive than the Warriors in 2015, I will 100% agree with you. But at the end of the day the Warriors won in 2015 and the Cavs won in 2016. Anything other than that is just either party trying to boost their own ego to no real benefit.

hey i wasnt the one to start this stupidity.

 

[Mecca]

Alex Trebek diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.....wow.

Ugh....

 

[WiggyRuss]

5 of 7? He's played in 11 games this season.

Maybe you missed that.

maybe you missed that he got the surgery because he was playing hurt to begin with-

and since he has been back AND HEALTHY- the Cavs are 5-2 in games he has played.

put LEBron with Kevin Love, Cedi Osman, Tristan Thompson, Larry Nance Jr., Sexton, Clarkson and he has a better record than the Lakers guys thats for damn sure.

@dtgold88 @Stakesarehigh @Shanemansj13

sounds like there is a rumor going around that the Browns are engaging the Giants for OBJ.

That would be interesting. If the cost is 2 first rounders - thats too much in my opinion, but if it was a first and a third id be down.

can you imagine this offense with Baker at QB, OBJ, Landry at WR, Njoku at TE and Chubb and Hunt at RB?!?!?!?!

Posted this on the Browns board. I am seeing the offer: Zeitler, Ogbah and two picks. Possibly 2nd rounders
