Also can someone explain to me why the NBA blocked Chris Paul from going to the Lakers several years ago but Kevin Durant is allowed to go a 73 win team? | ||

The East is terrible, but the Warriors are just a historically good team. No one was going to beat them this year. The Cavs are good, but they simply aren't good enough. As for the Chris Paul thing, that was a trade, whereas the KD signing was a free agency move. There is nothing that the league can do about the latter. | ||

Also this series is complete shit and I am sad for the current state of the NBA. Dubs got more fouls because the Cavs are terrible defenders. If every foul was called, the Cavs wouldn't have an offense as Lebron commits 1+ offensive fouls per possession.

Because these Dubs are a good team that needed Durant to become a great team (playoff-wise). If you disagree, please explain how both Cleveland and OKC took last years team to the 7th game, and 2015 Memphis took them 6. A healthy Spurs takes them a hard 5 or a soft 6. This is nothing unpredictable for championship teams. The problem with the NBA is 2 fold. #1 is the East which has the profound problem of its best player also being on a team which would be top 3 without him for the past 7 years. #2 is that the 3 PT shot, as players increasingly get skilled at it, and increasingly understand its value, breaks the sport without the handcheck. | ||

I think that the Warriors would have done better and won the title last year if Curry was healthy. | ||

The NBA owned the Pelicans at the time the trade went down and as the owner had veto rights on the deal Demps put together. | ||

He looked gassed after attacking the rim non stop in the first quarter. He did not much in the 2nd half. That is the issue with playing bully ball without post moves. | ||

Cleveland's solution to beating teams like Toronto and Boston when things get close is to speed things up. Cleveland is being defeated with its own weapon. and it looked like by sitting Thompson that Lue intended to speed things up last night. they threw everything but the kitchen sink at Golden State in the 1st half and still trailed by 3. i think JR Smith might lose his starting job. | ||

Not time to panic yet though. I think Cavs take game three. | ||
