You're bragging about calling a Warrior team in the NBA Finals a non-contender?

This is why I was telling people to not overreact to what the Warriors were doing this season before they won a championship
No reason anyone should say a team is historic before they win a championship

If that's what you took from the post, I guess perception is reality G

it aint over yet. so many saying barkley was an idiot and jumpshooting teams can win a chip and this team is historically great 67 games etc etc ..... you know they still can win
292 -291.... total score for the series and curry and co have played like absolute crap or been taken out of their game by the cavs d and lebron has went off ,which ever way you want to see it. still that close.

Going to play devil's advocate here...
The things the warriors did this year were historically great. How then, are they not a historically great team?

I didn't think the Warriors were going to make it past the Grizzlies. I thought they were too soft and historically teams that play a run and gun type style usually don't win the title.... although I did pick them to win this series in 7.

The most competitive conference ever thing is subjective
Lebron is missing 2 of his best OFFENSIVE players
Tristan Thompson and Matt Dellavedova give the Cavaliers better defense than Love and Irving
Again you are overrating Rodman
Tristan Thompson is playing better than Rodman did in the Bulls last 2 NBA Finals

Your hate for lebron is clouding your judgement
There are two sides to basketball. Defense and offense.
Wasnt nobody hyping the cavs defense before. Not one soul.
Nobody.
We are not talking about the 2007 squad. That squad got swept with a very young inexperienced bron at the helm.
This lebron is alpha dog wise jedi master veteran lebron averaging 40 ppg on 36 shots while being a true leader and mentor to these crap players
Walking corps of marion, miller, jones, perkins.
Former knicks underachievers and chuckers in shump, smith, and mozgov
Draft bust in tristan thompson
Injured non playing kyrie, varajeao, and love
An undrafted australian scrub named matthew delladova
Again no comparing to the 2007 team because that was a different time
We talking bout now in todays nba standards
That my friend is the definition of trash in the nba finals
Thats not a exhibition roster. Thats an nba finals roster against the mvp best defense and offense

teams, so much more so than individual players (and you know how i feel about players and championships) need to win a championship before being considered a historically great team

like i said these dudes play good d are big and protect the rim. they are not trash... sure not much offense but when you play d like that , you got a shot. yes we know lj creates for them plus dude is dropping 40 daily but stop acting like dude is doing it with bums and no help. not true. i called cavs in 7 before the series started , with my clouded judgement and it wasnt one of those reverse jinx things even tho my stance is known.

Also I'd be willing to bet all of those guys were extremely efficient while putting up high usage. They're not just taking shots because it's the alpha thing to do.

its not about being efficient, when you're attacking every time you touch the ball you're going to put up a bunch of shots and not have the highest shooting %
but that puts so much more pressure on the defense knowing that every time down 5 people have to focus on one player in order to stop him rather than picking your spots and only scoring when you have a high % shot
even if the cavs dont win. hope this finals puts an end to this overemphasis on relying solely on statistics when game planning

Except what I'm saying is all those guys WERE efficient. No surprise those are all historically great seasons. They were attacking but they also had high shooting %s and got to the line a ton. None of those guys were attacking inefficiently so I'm not sure why you're using this list to make that point.

to be fair over half that list consists of Cs so they are naturally going to shoot a high%
lebron is playing far from efficient this series but the way he is playing is way more effective than his efficient play in last year's finals
