With all due respect they did not win on the back of curry

Leonard is WAY better than green defensively.....since you asked. Iggy on his team is also better at defense

Iggy guards lebron anyway.......and if you for one sec think cavs got more calls yesterday you have real problems

Gs put the tards in last 3/4 minutes. Before that klay and curry taking bad hero shots. Not a shocker at all

Taking the shot does not make you clutch. You have to make some

On a side note....why does everyone always reference kobe as clutch......he is LITERALLY the worst percentage shooter in one possesion playoff games in nba history with minimum of 10 attempts.

Curry was grabbing lebron and shoving (like every time he cuts or runs off a screen) way before lebron got hands on with him.

He is only on a championship caliber team because HE is on it. They as a team are so over matched it's rather embarrasing. Take irving james and klay and curry away and match the teams up. He did lose his cool but after getting the shit beat out of him all game he was out of line. However the curry thing was because curry grabbed him with both hands (like he does every possesion) to push off and try to get open so he grabbed him back.

I mean this respectfully as possible but anyone who can even compare LeBron and Kobe as far as in their all-time great status knows nothing about basketball. LeBron is better than Kobe at every aspect of the game hell he's even a better career 3-point shooter which is his supposed weakness

He can't do anything against smaller players because as soon as he leans on them they flop and for some reason it became the cool thing to call charges on him. Or as seen several times in this series curry comes over late to help to try to draw a chargre.....but they run into each other and it's a no call because only curry falls down

This series specifically the gs roster after klay and curry and lebron and irving were gone. I think the rest of the gs state roster would win 20 straight games. I honestly didn't even think it would be that big of a difference. Minus the big 2 on each side the separation is astronomical

Everyone has a lower shooting % in playoffs. They actually play defense. He has the 3rd best clutch shooting percentage in nba history in last 2 minutes of 1 possesion playoff games behind only mj and dirk. Kobe is the worst fyi with a minimum of 10 attempts.

Dum dum above strictly looking at number of free throw attempts to say the refs were one sided or not is ignorant. Gs is a jump shooting team. Lebron jumper has been extra bad this season for whatever reason. And he does settle at times. It's hard to keep driving when you get fouled everytime you drive to the basket and they let the contact go. He and westbrook get fouled EVERYTIME they drive in........I'm not even taking up for his performance yesterday I'm just saying if you have ever played ball it's tough to get fouled every possesion and nothing gets called. Then you watch guys like curry, harden, Lillard etc......drive in and get fouls if someone barely nudges them.

He did not have a great game.....when they made their run he let spoke bob square get like 10 offensive rebounds. He is a good player. He does not fit with cavs and warriors are a terrible matchup for him. That's all the nba playoffs are.

I'm not arguing who will win game 4. The cavs would have worked the thunder. It's all about matchups. Love could have stayed on floor, no one on thunder can guard lebron at least iggy and green make it tough, lebron can guard durant. The cavs 2nd unit is better, the thunder are a bad 3 point shooting team which helps cavs d/bigs. I could go on for a while but there is a reason why LeBron has beat the Thunder 15 out of 19 times

You like that dot dot dot dot... If you're going to make fun of somebody for not knowing what date it is you actually should know what date it is

Okc would not have beat the cavs. I hop if you cap.games and matchups you realize that's all the playoffs come down to is matchups. Westbrook can guard curry. Curry can't guard anybody on thunder. That's why he guarded Roberson alot so the could hide how bad he is on defense. No one on gs could guard durant either. The bigs on okc are longer and quicker than cavs when switching on perimeter. The difference is lebron can and has guarded durant and NOBODY on the thunder can even remotely guard lebron. It's all matchuos. Iggy and green big, strong, and physical enough to make it tough for lebron in the paint. Plus.....curry is the "sexy" thing in the nba right now. He gets every call. If you breath on him it's a foul. He tried to take 2 charges early in this game that were obvious blocks and there was no call. Have you in the last 10 years since the league has become "soft" as everyone says seen a player the caliber of lebron just get the living crap beat out of him every possesion with no call. I have not.

You all are dummies. The east only only lost 14 more games to the west. That was with spurs and gs going 50-9 against the east. Gs, okc, and spurs are elite.....the next best 8 teams arguably play in the east with the Clippers falling in their somewhere.

The playoffs is all about matchups. If the thunder had of won the cavs would have had no problems with them. The cavs have won 15 of last 19 against because no one can guard lebron and lebron can guard durant. They don't have iggy and green who are big and strong enough to hang in there with lebron. The ignorance delivered on here is impressive though

Kobe always choked. He is literally the worst playoff clutch player of all time with a minimum of 10 attempts. Lebron is 3rd behind mj and dirk. Do some fuccing research before you spout out dumb shit. Kobe was not even the best player on his team for 3 of his titles. To even mention kobe in the same paragraph as mj or Lebron with a positive comparison is pure ignorance. Lebron even had a better career 3 point % than kobe......and the only thing on a basketball court that one could argue kobe being better at is shooting......and statistics tell me that is not even the case

All the east "dynasty" teams were old or gone by the time mj had any success. If you think the jazz who mj beat twice could even hang with the thunder,cavs,gs, or spurs there is real problems. Is you think stockton and hornecek could d up anybody now you are crazy. People for some reason just cannot think about how much bigger stronger faster the league is now. I realize the CENTERS were bigger than....but those guys would shit their pants if Durant walked out on the court back then at 7 foot with his quick and the best jumper on the court. The league was so bad then they moved the 3 line in 2 1/2 feet so people could make some 3's from 94-97. Imagine curry and klay with the 3 line 3 feet closer. I'm gonna get crazy with what I'm about to say next so take it with a grain of salt but think about it a bit. Delly vs stockton......delly is 4 inches taller and shoots better from deep and the one thing delly does well is run the pick and roll well which is the only.part of stockton game that would translate to now. You can obviously pick out elite multi generational players whose game would translate to now....but the majority of the players back then would have a heard time seeing the floor against the current players. The average player is so much better now. Plus mj didn't have guys like iggy, lebron,george, and leonard guarding him who would all be just as big strong and as atheltic. Craig ehlo and Byron Russell are not walking through that door anymore. Leonard would be the best defender he has EVER even thought about playing against. Say mj dominated his ERA better than.lebron....but to compare the 2 is tough because won was a gunner and the other is a team player. Plus the average player is so much better now.

I don't know how the finals will play out but the West Was Not much better than the East this season over all. Not sure why everyone things there was such a difference. The west only won 14 more games and that was with spurs and warriors going 50-9. The top 3 in west and cavs are obviously a notch better than everyone else. But I would take the east over the west as far as the rest of conference goes.
