June 8, 20179 yr Zaza wouldn't be in the game. GS would run the small lineup out and Shaq wouldn't be able to keep up. Then you have 4 players on the court who slow Kobe down a little so none of them get tired. The game is just different now, but I believe the game is played at a much more proficient level. No. The Warriors play at a much more proficient level. That doesn't make them unbeatable. Recency bias is strong and I get that but I'll always say that no one on this planet can say for certain who would win these games with teams from different eras. I know what I think and believe but that doesn't make me right. That goes both ways.
June 8, 20179 yr Nah, he's right. 3-1... If Draymond hadn't discovered a fetish for kicking dudes in the nuts they Warriors win.
June 8, 20179 yr If Draymond hadn't discovered a fetish for kicking dudes in the nuts they Warriors win. If a bullfrog had wings it wouldn't drag its bum. Losing one fringe-star shouldn't be a three-game swing for an "all-time great team."
June 8, 20179 yr If a bullfrog had wings it wouldn't drag its bum. Losing one fringe-star shouldn't be a three-game swing for an "all-time great team." Personally, I believe losing Draymond cost the Warriors last year winning in 5. Losing Bogut helped them lose in 7, when it then became an express lane to the rim.
June 8, 20179 yr Personally, I believe losing Draymond cost the Warriors last year winning in 5. Losing Bogut helped them lose in 7, when it then became an express lane to the rim. They had both in Game 6. They lost because the Cavs were better than them last year.

June 8, 20179 yr They had both in Game 6. They lost because the Cavs were better than them last year. The Cavs were not better than the Warriors last year. I just honestly don't see how you can believe that. The reason the 3-1 memes are funny is because the warriors choked it away not because they lost to a superior team. The Falcons memes aren't nearly as funny because they didn't lose to an inferior team they lost to a vastly superior team.
June 8, 20179 yr Stop the Lebron debate before it even gets started. Championships are about teams, greatness falls on an individuals ability to play basketball at a higher level than anyone else. MJ and Lebron are the two greatest basketball players I've ever seen. Even if neither won a ring, it would still be the same. It's ignorance to believe that the Cavs losing this final is any sort of indictment on Lebron. Straight ignorance.
June 8, 20179 yr If a bullfrog had wings it wouldn't drag its bum. Losing one fringe-star shouldn't be a three-game swing for an "all-time great team." Draymond is far from a fringe star. He's the heart and soul of that team.

The Falcons memes aren't nearly as funny because they didn't lose to an inferior team they lost to a vastly superior team. I've always felt that the best teams win in a 7 game series. I don't think there is anyway around that logic. A superior team shouldn't lose to an inferior team in 4 out of 7 games.
June 8, 20179 yr Draymond is far from a fringe star. He's the heart and soul of that team. At worst he is the second best defender in the NBA. He is an All Star in my book.
June 8, 20179 yr At worst he is the second best defender in the NBA. He is an All Star in my book. Completely agree.
