Arguably the worst Conference Finals in the history of the league. On one end a team crippled by injuries on another end a team hopelessly overmatched. Its tragic especially compared to last year's Finals

it was fun to laugh at the cavs when them dey play rubbish for regular season now them dey win all we hear Is the east weak.


I think decae point is simple: the west is top heavy.they have the better teams but the eastern teams are not has good yet,but they all have similar strength aside from the cavs.

I don't understand though, apart from one or two golden state fans and one or two Cleveland fans, everyone has admitted this has been the worst playoffs run in the history of the game probably.

This is my point

I'm not comparing this team in a conference vs that in the other. That wouldn't be fair on the East

Analyzing it conference vs conference, wins in the East are more unpredictable and balanced than that of West; buttressing my own relative definition of tough.

I'm surprised people don't get it

you can thank KD for that.

i think so too but only because we've focused too much on Series involving cavs and warriors.

Nah, you're wrong.. Shaun Livingston never tries to shoot 3s, Kevon Looney, Mcadoo well, including Zaza and McGee.


Curry actually leads the league in FG percentage when driving to the rim in the regular season so I'm not understanding your point.

Golden State changed the game, the revolutionized the game, now everyone plays defense from half court more than before and if you want to know, the Rockets shoot more 3s, the Cavs attempts more 3s than the Warriors. And yes it's a good thing if everybody wants to shoot more 3s. And please don't tell people Warriors made basketball bad by using that point.
dude , I know you started watching basketball of recent Cus no old NBA fan in Nigeria supports golden state warriors.... they gat no name...........


if you play basketball very often, you will understand what I mean by saying the states spoiled the mindset...... my teammate who is 7'0 tall will always want to shoot 3s and expect me the forwarder to rebound the balls for him...... many white basketball coaches i talk with on instagram and twitter and facebook all told me the same thing....... everyone of them saying the states made everyone to always wanna shoot 3s these days...... when last did a golden state stater record a triple double? all I see is curry 35p, 2 stls and 3 assists

Guy bone the top heavy thing. We all know the Cavs were playing possum, the degree at which they were doing so was underrated largely but they can afford to take games off

Even in the East we have the upper echelon. Used to be Cavs, Celtics, Orlando then Pacers, Celts, Heat now its the Cavs, Raptors

We have rubbish teams in the East just like the West

I agree these playoffs have been crap. Spurs Pistons was worse but thats debatable.

But my question is, whose fault is it. When warriors who got to the finals still went hard after Durant and a few other pieces, what was the rest of the west looking at? Other than rockets, who else? When cavs, the reigning champs kept making trades all season where was the rest of the east?

The super teams argument is an excuse! Detroit pistons with no superstars beat the lakers with kobe, shaq, payton and malone!! I refuse to blame 2 teams for working hard to get where they are while other teams were sleeping angry

Finally someone is talking. That's what I meant by teams need to start competing. Playing and making trades to Win, players need to really up their game individually.

Cavs getting complacent...
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:21am On May 22, 2017
^^^^ SMOOSHCHN

God will punish Silver and that referee. I would never forget that game. 25pts we dropped to within 7 and then Refs will immediately give Cavs FTs to extend the lead. Look at 3 of those fouls. The Kyrie, K Love and last Lebron one. They are so clear as day even Stevie Wonder could see the farce of refereeing decisions those were. I pray Curry and co use it as fuel to completely annihilate The Cavs come NBA finals (if we meet).

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:54am On May 22, 2017
These are the Celtics i know.

This is why Lebron's greatness would always be questioned in comparison to MJ. With the game on the line, the ball is not going to him because he is not clutch, the ball moves to Kyrie.

Bron was sluggish today, disinterested. He couldn't even get that rebound from Crowder

Hope no problems at home? sad
