I don't either because it took a healthy Cavs team 7 games to beat the Warriors the following year. I think they split regardless.
All I am saying is there is no one saying if GS was healthy they would have lost. This would been a sweep most likely or max 5 games.
But this is why going for 3-peats are hard and why MJ is the GOAT because he did it twice and it hasn't been done since. [Reply]

Is this completely going over your head?
Without those 3’s from Allen and Irving, Lebron loses at least 1 probably both.
You can’t even remotely say the same thing about any of Jordan’s rings. [Reply]

No no Jordan never missed a shot ever and scored every single point, guarded all 5 players at once and banged all 5 of the opposing teams wives at the same time. [Reply]

Windhorst is reporting GS is going to offer both KD and Klay 5-year max contracts so if I was GS I would go in tank mode next year, get a Top 5 pick and then restart the dynasty in the 2020-2021 season. [Reply]

Lebron defenders will call me a hater even though I say he’s probably the 2nd best player ever, because I’m critical (which you have to be when you’re making comparisons to somebody with as close to a perfect career as you’re going to get in any sport).
But imagine trying to downplay MJ’s greatness. The mental gymnastics you have to go through to try to be critical of his career. Oh the irony. [Reply]

No No Golden State was totally healthy and on playijg5 at their peak! Cook and Looney are as good as Durant and Thompson. Play through that shit was those guys! [Reply]

I literally wouldn't GAF. Beat the Rams/Saints/whomever. Just win the damn game. [Reply]
Moving on I think the NBA is in a good spot and will be wide open next year for anyone to win. You have to think that Pelican's can get more for AD now and a team might throw alot of picks\players to try to replicate what Toronto did. [Reply]
