Warriors had a great season but went into the finals with a hurt Curry. Basically the same way Cleveland was hurt last year without Irving, who should have been the MVP of the title game. The Warriors dominated Cleveland in the regular season with a healthy team. Both teams should go at it again next year. Now all the talk about is LeBron James better than Jordan. Jordan was 6-0 in NBA finals, never going to a 7th game. James is now 3-4. So he’s a great player but he’s not Michael Jordan.
Warriors lost as many post-season games as regular season games.
This outcome was orchestrated by the NBA who desperately wanted a stand alone ring for Lebron, the biggest, crybaby quitter in sports. It was supposed to happen last year but the upstart Warriors spoiled the party.
The suspension of one of their stand out players was a series changer and they knew it. Then Andrew Bogut was hurt in a game that should have never been played.
Warriors did not choke, they got cut off at the knees. This is a team that won 73 games in the season, not losing two in a row much less three.
Disgusting but that’s sports nowadays.
Last year Cleveland gave a good run with their third string. Irving wasn’t the only one out.
Second eastern city winning a championship in a week. Last week Pittsburgh won the NHL Championship.
The difference between Jordan and LeBron is “the Will to Win.” Certain players: Jordan, Magic & Bird were all willing to do the little things that won ball-games. We’ve all seen LeBron go into a disappearing act when his shot isn’t dropping and the defense has him blanketed.
