In the prior two seasons before Kevin Durant, the Warriors averaged 70 wins, won a championship, and in their only season they didn't win a championship they took the Cavaliers to 7 games. In that same period, the Cavaliers averaged 55 wins, won a championship, and in their season in which they didn't win a championship they lost in 6 games. The Warriors were up 3-1 going into Game 5. The better team doesn't always win the NBA Finals. Warriors >>> Cavaliers and not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did lose in 6 the year before, without love and kyrie. LOFL at not even close. I can't TOTALLY argue that GS was probably a better team but it's damn close.

GSW’s owner seems to pay whatever money is needed to keep the team as best as possible. Arson wasn’t willing to pay what it takes to keep every player possible. Durant didn’t do it better. Bron built a team to take down the best team in the conference. Durant just joined the best team in the conference. Durant just did it easy way. Him going to the best team in the conference as opposed to going to the 5th or 6th seed is definitely him doing it better. Same concept, different process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE WARRIORS WERE NOT THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE WHEN DURANT JOINED THEM. please just stop trying to bring durant down with nonsense. lebron is 3-6 in the finals. been swept twice and 4-1'd twice. lets talk about that. I have no issue with KDs move, but there is no argument that he didn’t join the best team in the league. Are people actually saying the Cavs were than the Warriors in 2016? Loooool. In 2015, it was pretty close but I’d still say the Warriors. In 2016, yeah don’t care that the Cavs won they were not better in the slightest. They were probably the 4th best team in the league that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to use a 7 game series to "justify" your argument, I'd suggest you go talk about sample sizes. It's amazing that when the Warriors lost their primary rim protector (i.e. Andrew Bogut) to injury, the Cavaliers managed to upset the Warriors. Don't think for a second that the championship somehow validates the opinion that the Cavaliers were the "better" team. Does anyone truly believe the '04 Pistons were more talented than the '04 Lakers? The '10 Mavericks weren't better than the '10 Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That classification really demeans those GS teams imo. Lebron joined a team and players, none of which had won a playoff series in 5 years. Just a tiny bit different. And people blasted him for that.

A team that is the best team in the league got hampered because they lost andrew bogut? lol okay. and yes, the 04 pistons were easily a better team than the lakers that year. it's not even close. the 11 mavericks were aided by their best player and epic choker jebron lames. like, lebron threw that series that's how dallas won.

I'm used to you making comments with the shock and awe, hoping to elicit a response so I'm hoping this is the case. The Warriors were up 3-1 in that series going into Game 5 with their average margin of victory being 20 points. The Cavaliers average margin of victory in the Finals were 16 points. As it's been discussed, the Warriors were without Draymond Green because of suspension and Andrew Bogut was lost for the rest of the playoffs because of injury. LeBron went all super human to force a Game 7, which the Cavaliers won. They weren't the best team in that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
