Kerr definitely out coached Blatt. Without a doubt. Kerr inherited a great roster but he did make some great decisions this series.

Who wouldn't destroy Cleveland without lebron?

I usually agree with you on damn near everything NBA related but as a Warrior fan me and some of the other fans were saying Iggy deserved this for what everyone has mentioned below:
- 37,287
- 19,666
If Delly and Moz didn't play exceptional at the start of the series, this would have been a sweep.
Just remember that when attempting to put Lebbywinks on a pedestal.

He meant without utilizing Iggy.
If Kerr left Iggy on the bench opposed to inserting him in the starting lineup, Cavs would've destroyed the Warriors.
I think that's the point he was trying to make, at least that's how interpreted it

[quote name="FlacoBey"]I think if Lebron was a more likable person people would be praising his 6 finals appearances and not focusing on his 4 losses. I also believe the sports media, and a lot of people on here, have romanticized Jordan's career to a point where we want to witness that sort of greatness again vicariously through Lebron, but that isn't, and wasn't, ever gonna happen.
Lebron isn't Jordan, Kobe isn't Jordan, etc. don't know why people can't just enjoy the NBA product in the present. So what Lebron's won 2 and lost 4. I blame ESPN for all this bogus legacy talk, it's like we can't talk about basketball without bringing up someone or something that happened 20 years ago. We just watched a great series between one of the greatest forwards of all time and one of the best shooters of all time, enjoy it for what it is.[/quote]All o'that.
[typical Bron hater dolt] One of the greatest shooters, yes. Who was 'One of the greatest forwards of all time', though? [/typical Bron hater dolt]

I honeslty never understood this either. Same goes with Duncan, Tmac and some other players i remember doing okay at the line and then later in their careers, they start getting worse. No Iggy bad, but still declining at the line.

Like Iverson's run back when the 76ers played the Lakers, the numbers (advanced wise) look worse due to him (like Lebron) having to do more than necessary. As you know, this was an EXTREMELY depleted Cavs squad that was relying on Lebron for everything.
Even though advanced stats say otherwise, I strongly feel as though he was the best player on the court in the series due to what he was tasked with. He did all he could but came up short.
I wasn't meaning to be disingenuous with my replacement level question...but swap out Lebron, and this team is probably swept. He meant THAT much to the Cavs during this run to the Finals with both Love and Kyrie being on the shelf.
I'm not going to sit here and complain about Iggy's MVP for his defense, because he was definitely the spark GS needed to win the championship...however, I'm still appreciative of what Lebron did over the course of the past 6 games. Honestly, I think this run helps, rather than hurts his legacy. Can't say anything about his effort or not leaving everything on the floor.

it's not even the entire story of just putting Iggy in the starting line-up, the bigger story was taking Bogut out and limiting or cutting all his minutes. Bogut was useless, and a liability in the first 3 games. He was getting out played by Mozgov and killed in the pick and roll.
i am not knocking Iggy but you don't give the Finals MVP to a role player. he did great in limiting lebron and knocking down open shots but the entire GSW offense is revolved on Curry making the right play.

Here go Stephen A saying gsw had this easy path to the finals. Saying the pelicans weren't ready... Boston didn't even belong there, bulls=grizz minus Conley and atl were who we thought they were. I can't see how gsw had a easier path than cle.

It doesn't fit the narrative.
Boston? LOL
Chicago? Pau got hurt. Series over.
Atlanta? Half the squad on IR or hobbled.
But hey, Golden State had it easy!

You kids watch poo and Golden shower ****, nothing impresses or shocks you anymore.
You named guys with better stats, but old enough to be your Great Great Grandpa.
Must be a stat that happens all the time.

So Kawhi shouldn't have gotten it last year? He wasn't Timmy, Tony, or Manu.
