Cavs had breakdowns. Do it game2 they getting beat by 30. Warriors role players im ok with shooting they wont stay hot, those 20 pts klay and steph hit beat em. Bron gotta guard Steph rest of the series IMO. 

The Warriors bench were not shooting any differently than all season. The only players who is shooting above average is Barnes and he found his touch towards the last ten games of the season. Steph and Klay will wake up and unless Cleveland slows the game it will be over in 5 this year.

I watched some of this series and believe me, the best basketball has already been played. The 80s Lakers and Celtics matchups were better with better players down the roster. They could hang with these guys.

Ok, let me hear it. Lol

Different era

Couldn't agree more.  Saw a bunch of youngsters saying best series ever and I had to chuckle.

Golden State looked like half these high school teams now-shooting 3's that should never have been attempted.

Rebounding and defense wins championships. Cleveland had more players willing to battle under the basket for both.

As a series, not that great. Too many double digit wins.

As a Game 7, one of the best.

JR Smith at the podium was what it's all about. I do not follow the NBA too much, but hopefully he meant what he said. (His dad was a big dude. I would have toed the line for him.)

I never said these guys were scrubs. I just said that I have seen a lot better basketball. Better half court sets, much better low post games, running the floor, much better coaching.....it may have been a different era, but the game was played better. You used to play NOT to foul, now you have fouls to give. That was already coming into play back then and I hated it. You didn't foul because it was a 1-1 unless you were shooting. That made games too long so they went to out of bounds until you built up enough fouls. Bird didn't like the 3 point shot and neither do I. It allows teams to win when they should have lost, and Bird won the 3 point contest almost every year, so it sure wasn't because it was too difficult.

Anyone who has not seen Laker/Celtic championship games needs to watch. Watch the Celtics/Rockets series with Moses Malone. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird saved the NBA!

I watched Curry play when he was with Davidson. I told my wife when I first saw him play that he would be an NBA star. As for Irving, I love his Uncle Drew character. That's some funny stuff.

My biggest problem with today's players in any sport is the crybaby attitude and the "me" complex. These are team sports.
