2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

This. It's a combination of GS choking and Cleveland taking advantage of Green's suspension.

How dare you bring common sense on to the boards!

That "great team" was getting stomped on the way to that 3-1 lead, yet SOME people want to act like the Dubs were totally outclassed...

It takes an even greater team to come back from a 3-1 deficit, against the "greatest" team in nba history am i right

I never thought they were the greatest team in history. Obviously it takes a great team to comeback from that but a shit ton of luck too

at coming back against the greatest team in history.

Maybe lebron just outclassed the entire team, there is a reason they ran out to get durant...because of lebron

Irving wasn't too shabby either, 2nd highest scorer for a first option in nba history and will only get better

Maybe i'm typing too fast. NOT taking away from the comeback, but don't try to act like Cavs dominated the whole series. Because THAT seems to be the position you're taking...

Lebron and irving were hitting craZy shots that were going in to a point where they just threw it up. The warriors and curry and klay were missing shots they usually hit but just happened to miss them the last 3 games. It took alot of flukey shit to win for you guys

My original position was they would have been working on a 3 peat next year had irving and love played in both series

It seems pretty reasonable...considering gs was better this year than last...

Exactly they were dead in the water until the green suspension. They had that look on there faces saying "how do we beat this team"

No doubt. STILL came down to the last few minutes, though. And if Curry or Thompson were anything CLOSE to normal(give cred to the Cavs'D') the Dubs Would be celebrating their 2nd straight title...

That's not it at all...Thompson and your team started talking trash about lebron...

"IF". You dont know for a fact. Thats the key. Irving was worse in 14-15 season so was love.

Both teams were doing it

True just my speculation,

same way people going crazy now acting like gs is so much better than the cavs now, when no-one has a clue

Irving is awesome and he WILL only get better but James isn't getting any better, he'll only start to decline.
And if he ever signs the super contract......it'll severely limit how they can get better by bringing in new blood aka FA's.

Cleveland was a complete mess last year. Nobody listened to their coach and they didn't have Jefferson either, who was a huge difference maker. Your assumptions are entertaining though.

The Cavs deserve a lot of credit for that.

 

[trojanfan12]

Some fans are underestimating the impact KD will have on their offense.

Pretty much all that needs to be said is that all of those wide open jumpers and 3's that Harrison Barnes was missing...will now be taken by Kevin Durant.

This.

And we still pulled it off

Which means we should be a lot better than last year, next year

A lot of people forget but that was kyries and loves first finals ever
