holy fuck the Cavs have someone named Jaron Blossomgame STARTING FOR them, on a 2nd night of a back to back against the Wiz and are somehow winning.

If the Wizards lose this game, seriously fold the team or move than to Seattle. Just end it.

I have been over this.

Because the Warriors faced significant adversity in 2016 due to their injury status while Cleveland was full go. And how did the Warriors build a 3-1 lead in the first place with Curry playing hurt?

It was those other factors along with Curry's injury, historically bad shooting from Harrison Barnes and historically great play from Kyrie and LeBron that turned the series. And they still needed every 1 of those things to eke out a game 7 victory because GS was the better team.

By the way, for your vegas theory, the Cavs were also favored to beat the Celtics last year despite the Celtics having HCA.

You know why?

Because the Cavs were better than the celtics.

Exactly he wasn't hurt until they started losing. Did you have a single post about him being hurt in the OKC matchup?

Just think about it logically. 6 games without Kyrie/love...Loss with a much better version with kyrie/love...I think the cavs would have won quicker than in 2016 if Irving/love played! The 2016 GS team was a lot better than the 2015 team

Yes.

I talked about him being hurt throughout the entire playoffs. It was obvious.

His stats aren't any better when he was healthy tho, he doesn't have a single finals mvp...and had Durant not gone there his 1 championship would be at the expense of a severely crippled cavs...

If you don't know who Jaron Blossomgame is...I don't know what to tell you. You clearly don't know much about basketball then. :dhd:

Dude. Watch the games. Watch him move. He couldn't seperate against bigs like Kevin Love and Stevan Adams on pick and roll switches because he was hurt. He could still shot because he is the best shooter of all time. But he couldn't create space and that really hurt the entire Warrior offense since he is their primary creator.

You might be joking, but ACC fans know Blossomgame well. We was a pretty good college scorer.

If both teams were 100% and playing on neutral grounds the cavs would be favored 80/100 in series

Kyrie got injured in game 1 and was playing great

Lebron took absoloute scrubs to game 6 of the finals. I mean we are talking about players that may not even be starting material on lottery teams.

Did it ever occur to you that you are just making excuses and overrating Curry who just happens to play on a great team but their best accomplishment (pre durant) was beating a team were 2 of the 3 stars were out?

The so called crippled GS team in 2016 was able to beat a team of Durant, RW and Ibaka...

Talking about the past because the current situation is so perfect, huh?

Did he have surgery on his injury in the offseason?

What a collapse by Houston.

Had a 8 point lead with 3 to go.

Lose by 3

dude, don't you know the rules...?

Lakers fans-not allowed to bring up the past...

Cavs fans-allowed to bring up the past all they want, AND get to "magnify" their one title to make it seem like it's somehow greater than sixteen...

Wall might be gone soon. He looks unmotivated.

He has taken 1 shot in almost 2 quarters. No points. 1 SHOT
