Kevin Durant will be god-mode next year and may be the best in the league
hence... GSW will be unstoppable for at least a couple years (barring major adjustments from other teams)
LMA needs to go,
The Clippers need major overhaul. Rivers should let go of dual GM/Coach duty. Choose one, Doc.
Lebron is an all-time great, objectively top 5 of all time. But these finals, against teams of equal pedigree to Cavs, have shown that Lebron is only average-good on defense (he is great on chasedowns and help d's though) and he is really not clutch. He has the tendency to wilt under pressure. Without Irving, Lebron can't do it, and couldnt have done it last year.
The East really need to improve, otherwise they might as well just cancel the playoffs and make it auto-Finals for the Cavs as long as Lebron is there.
Good job Curry for avoiding stupid TOs and rushing threes like last year's finals, and instead playing a more disciplined mental game of passing, creating, and driving to the paint.
Kyrie is a scoring genius. Flawed, erratic, unrealiable at times, but he is a genius.
I don't think you UNDERSTAND the IMPORTANCE that Eldrick TONT Woods represents to this society. He is the PINNACLE of athletic potential and very close personal friend of mine.

i realize ESPN is desperately trying to cut costs... why not fire Stephen Smith and hire a guy they can pay in Canadian money. 30% savings right there.
"All things considered, the numbers point to the Warriors claiming the NBA Finals rubber match. And those numbers are pretty one-sided -- ESPN's Basketball Power Index sides with Golden State by a huge margin."
I dont really get why so many people crticize durant for jumping on a super team. Didnt lebron do exactly the same thing with bosh/wade and now irving/love?? But yeah the nba need tougher competition.

everyone called him out then too. but i think durant gets more hate because he joined a 73 win team who have proven that they are already elite and can win. while lebron joined a 47 win team that lost in the 1st round and although he was joined by bosh, there was still the uncertainty of how it would pan out and im not sure if anyone had any doubts about the warriors.
Plus, the whole "he joined the team that beat him while he was up 3-1" thing. Durant really checked all the boxes to produce the weakest free agency move of all time.
