Just to be correct they lost to the Knicks in round 2 not conference finals. Then they lost in conference finals next year to Orlando when Michael returned.Originally Posted by 2daBank

James winning in 2016 down 3-1 against the best regular season team in history was more impressive. He only really had Irving since Love was a complete no show. JR Smith was more of a factor than Love Originally Posted by Goat Milk

Love didn't play well but was guarded by Draymond who was the DPOY so I don't blame him too much. Irving is a far superior player to Pau Gasol, it's not even close. Irving averaged like 30 a game in that series. Gasol could never do that in a million years. Also, that Warriors team was no where near Boston. Boston would dick smack that Warriors team and put Curry on his ass. They were a reg season team. Boston was full of legendary players. Straight legends. GS had Curry... That's why they needed the 2nd best player in the world in KD to actually be a dynasty. Originally Posted by asiagambler

James should have never been down 3-1 in that series either. Cleveland was a superior team roster wise. James better than Curry. Irving a million times better than Thompson. Love better than Green. Thompson and JR Smith are as good together as a combo as Draymond, who got himself suspended for a game like an airhead. Originally Posted by asiagambler

Kobe and Shaq were too much. Vladie Divac choked in that game. Clearly recall. Melted down. People said rig job, maybe, but if so game wouldn't have been that close. Comes down to missed jumpers, can't rig jumpers. Originally Posted by 7deuceoff$uit

Their bench was good. Barnes Livingston and Barbosa. Iguadala got the start in prime time. Just shows you though. That was a 7 game series battle, and in comes KD, and they basically sweep the Cavs, going 16-1 overall in the playoffs without even breaking a sweat. That previous Warriors team wasn't shit compared to KD team.
Warriors shouldn't even have won any rings without KD now that I think about it. Love and Irving didn't even play in the first series and James took it to 6 games with Mozgof and Dellavedova as his two key players next to JR Brick.
Curry is a tier 2 player. Thompson isn't much. Telling me those two guys are gonna beat KG Pierce and Ray Allen and Rondo? Lmao. They'd both be injured in the 1st quarter vs. that Boston team.

The league was built on defense back then.
Today it is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE and I mean then being A and today being Z, that much different.
I won't argue with you about Kobe because I agree.
There aren't enough dunks & layups in one game for Lebron to ever score 81.

Huh. Seriously didn’t realize that. I been thinking and saying it was conf finals forever, knew it was the Knicks. Nobody has ever corrected me on it so assumed I was right!! Lol. Either way still basically same sediment, they were a respectable playoff team/contender without mj. The early Bron cavs teams he took to finals were a dumpster fire I’m not sure even won 30 games without him! Originally Posted by lakerboy

Not to take anything away from that ring but in all fairness a lot of things happened that kinda caused warriors to self destruct imo. Not sure that ship makes up for his total no show against mavs when he was on heat! That warriors series killed me, I was chasing cavs all series but by time they started winning games I wasn’t workin with much of a roll, lol. Originally Posted by asiagambler

People always blame LeBron for the Dallas series, truth is Miami phucked around and was usually up double digits in most of their losses...
We really should appreciate how legendary that Dallas team was... They swept the Lakers and almost swept a young stacked OKC team. Game 2, and even the way they needed ot in game 1 was telling. Problem for Miami was, they didn't even know who their best player wasLast edited by JaimeMiro; 05-30-20 at 05:59 PM.

True. But Jordan never averaged 37 on a championship team. Not even a finals team. Young and Beal play on two of the worst teams in the NBA, that's why they put up those numbers. Originally Posted by Hman

To me, Jordan could average 40, but when you're playing with another superstar, which is what would be required for Jordan to win/compete in today's NBA, I don't think that'll fly. Like, what, Jordan will average 45 with an Anthony Davis or Kawhi type on his team? I doubt that.

Think he'll make it yeah. Numbers too good to ignore. Has a ring. Can't remember if he won in the Olympics. All that stuff counts. Many rebounding titles. His career far from over too since he can shoot. Originally Posted by 2daBank

You're right, Miami controlled that entire series, then once they lost that game 5, they were doomed. James literally disappeared though. Never seen anything like it in all my years. A ghost in every 4th q of every game. Think he totaled like 7-12 points in the 4th quarters of the 6 games combined. Some crazy shit like that. Originally Posted by JaimeMiro

But....there was only 1 guy who was in a Tier all by himself called Out Of This World......Jordan

True Hman. Jordan in a league by himself. Just think Jordan would be going after rings and not 45 a game. He'd need to play with 2 other stars that both need their shots and touches. Pippen wasn't really a superstar, barely needed to take shots, whereas Ant Davis, he won't be ok with 12 shots a game. Rodman didn't even need to touch the ball, that kind of player like him or Ben Wallace if kinda rare.
Not sure man. 18 and 11 for his career. Multiple rebounding titles. 1 championship. 1 gold medal. Has made some all NBA teams. I think these next 3 years will dictate his fate. There was a time when we were calling K Love one of the top 3 or 4 PFs in the NBA. He's on the outside looking in right now, but what if he wins another ring as the 3rd option? K Love still has game man, that guy is a good player. Teams are dumb not to take him. Pops 3s and grabs 10-15 rebounds. Originally Posted by lakerboy

That's a tough one Nash.
Blake Griffin would be my guess at first glance, especially based on the high rebound numbers to start and then the tough year this year w the injruies, not sure tho.

Good call.
It’s Blake.
