      LeBron set the precedent when he went to Miami. Once he did that it became okay for the stars to join forces.

        What about Pierce, Garnett, and Allen?

                  Ironic that James is being undone in the same fashion he got his first title; by a "super team". I wonder what he thinks of Durant... What goes around comes around.

                    Looks like he's done with 33 points.

                        Yeah and they've took them to the woodshed in both games,we wanted close games not 20 point blowouts.

                            if this doesn't show u how bad the EAst is nothing will. Boston was the worst one seed in the history of the NBA. Getting beat by 30 40 a night and the same team that wax them is now getting waxed. In typical nba fashion tho the Cavs will get a game. watch how Curry and Durant forget how to shoot. This league doesn't want to embarrass their poster boy Lebron with a complete wipeout.

                                Series is over. This is different. Last year Green got suspended and the Warriors didn't have durant.

                                      Didn't Durant and Curry BOTH give up 3-1 leads in last year playoffs???

                                        You know it's over. If they both choke Klay Thompson will just drop 50.

                                          LeBron shouldn't have lobbied for Love. He's a bum, and Wiggins is much better. The Cavs messed up taking Bennett as well. Sorry that the GS management is more intelligent. Curry, Klay, and Draymond in the 2nd round. They added Iggy, and Livingston. Great moves. The Cavs messed up their picks. Tough break. LeBron left so they could get top picks for three years. Tristan was even a stretch. Not the fault of the CBA.

                                            I'm still on Cav's in 6. If the refs called either of these games even it would be 1 to 1 right now. GS getting away with murder by grabbing and holding on defense and offense. They look like NFL linebackers blocking guys out there. Cleveland and the refs will settle down and make this a series.

                                              How can you fault a team that has gone to the Finals 3 years in a row and are the defending champions??? People were whining the same time last year when they were down as well. This is a 7 game series. Let's see what happens first before you scalp the heads of Cav's front office.

                                                GSW 28-1 since March and are 14-0 in the playoffs winning every game by 15+.

                                                You really think they're going to lose 4 out of 5?

                                                I hate them but I'm not crazy. This is over.

                                                  Come on man,the fat lady is warming up,the Warriors have demolished them in both games,their was no chance they were winning either of these games.

                                                  Expecting them to win the next four is asking for the moon.

People were whining the same time last year when they were down as well. This is a 7 game series. Let's see what happens first before you scalp the heads of Cav's front office.
                                                    I'm not whining. I'm happy. The Cavs get a free pass to the Finals out of the East. They have no shot, Mac. It is what it is, and you're smart enough to realize that. They made bad picks, while LeBron was gone and GS didn't.

                                                    I watched my one NBA game of the postseason. I'm all set. I said from the beginning of the year that I would literally put my left nut up. GSW are not losing, but if you wanna donate, than donate to me not the books.

Sorry that the GS management is more intelligent. Curry, Klay, and Draymond in the 2nd round. They added Iggy, and Livingston. Great moves. The Cavs messed up their picks. Tough break. LeBron left so they could get top picks for three years. Tristan was even a stretch. Not the fault of the CBA.
                                                      I agree. When you have James on your team you should be able to compete with anyone. Wiggins could have developed into a better defensive player under James' tutelage. James wanted his dream team teammate... bad move.

                                                        Lebron wants to win now and love was rly the only or best available big at the time. Wiggins is still developing

                                                          So your unable to bet on it because of a players. You must have not been making money.

                                                            Thompson was a GOOD pick though. Right now they're asking him to play PF and that's why he's a non-factor. I think of him as a shorter Andre Drummond.

                                                                  Really a unique situation, not the least of which is that the Superstar they acquired happens to be a pretty humble, unselfish dude.

                                                                  Their 3 previous stars were drafted, 7th, 11th and 35th. Great job drafting. They deserve this.

                                                                  They also have a great brand of basketball going. Acquiring a star can go awry many a time. Could have happened here if not for coaching, etc.

                                                                      We always want close games but the brand of ball played now lends itself to these type of scores. It's a 3 pt shot game now where real defense isn't encouraged/allowed . Get used to it. You will see plenty of these types of series.

                                                                      All GS did was win 2 games on their home floor. It is what is supposed to happen
