Man, GS might be the best offensive team ever. Their ball movement/shooting is really something to behold.

And the Cavs just don't have the weapons or ONE other defensive player besides LeBron on the perimeter to really disrupt them for long enough to win.

However many rings he wins with the Warriors he'll always have an asterisk next to his name.

Can anybody imagine Jordan leaving the Bulls in his prime and joining the Lakers?

I've given him a ton of crap here, but the guy balled OUT OF HIS MIND all series.

He's. great player but he's just another weapon on a team that was already the best team in the league.

His legacy will be the same as every other mercenary.

Golden St fanbase about to reach 2015 Seahawk levels. The next 5 finals should be fun.

Any 2020 mock drafts yet?

Cavs have $105M committed to their starting five next year, and more the year after that. LeBron will be another year older. I don't want to jinx it, but we may never see him win another ring.

Ty Lue is a garbage coach. His substitute packages, including sitting LeBron in the 4th, were dumb.

Also, 7 bench points for Cleveland compared to 35 from GSW.

Terrible post season and Durant ruined the finals. Warriors prob still would have won but cavs could have taken it to a game 7.
He shouldn't be on that team. Took the easy route and I don't count this one for Durant. Next ones will cause it's all warriors for the next 3-5 years.

If I count correctly, that's five Finals losses for James. Is that the most all-time? The only other possibility would be someone who was on the Minneapolis/LA Lakers teams that kept being runner up to the Celtics dynasty. Is there an easy way to look it up?

Edit: Never mind, answered my own question. Elgin Baylor and Jerry West lost eight each. James is now tied with someone named Larry Foust for third all-time.

Somehow , I don't think KD cares about that.
