Before GS there was an old adage that jump shooting teams cant win championships.

This is why.

Kind of wanted Houston to win because it seems like Lebron might have a better chance against them. Warriors are probably going to sweep the Cavs.

Ya I felt the same way. I’m a Lebron fan so I kinda wanted Houston to win but I have money on the warriors so I’m happy either way.

Sure sucks cp3 got hurt. Iggy too.
Would like to see this series with both teams healthy.

Probably plays out similarly anyway but still.

I’m glad gobert can make free throws at a decent clip

for those desperate for a stretch 4 type pay attention to what Curry did to Anderson for 3 minutes or so in the third

Is this really what the nba wanted?

Seems to me like this finals matchup has played out.

For those who think the nba is rigged, I’d think the teams that lost would’ve made for a more compelling finals.

Everyone knows how this is gonna play out.

Warriors in 4 or 5 (if Lebron goes nuclear for one game) and the warriors get bored.

Boring matchup

But Houston got beat by a jump shooting team

A valiant effort by Houston. Taking the Warriors to 7 games is quite a feat. Depending on what happens with Capella and Ariza, Houston might come back a little weaker next year.

Wes doing his patented “call the winner of the game early on and then be totally wrong in the end”
Well done Wes

For me its not necessarily that its the same teams. And it really isnt the same teams. I am disappointed because Lebron doesnt have enough help to make it fun. I wouldn't mind watching it again if Kyrie was still there and they added another piece to counter the Durant move.

Are you disagreeing this was widely accepted?

I said "before GS". They are unique no doubt but have also had a tonne of luck in their runs and some very special circumstances to make it possible.

Point is shooters get cold. Imo you still need someone who can get you points in the post.
