As if Mike Budenholzer being outcoached by LeBron James wasn't bad enough already, Kyle Korver is now out for the rest of the playoffs. The 2015 Cavaliers have had the easiest road to the Finals in NBA history.
If the Warriors win tonight I officially declare these conference finals terrible.

Considering the fact they are without two injured stars, maybe not. What other team in NBA history has made it to the finals missing their clear cut 2nd and 3rd best players? So, while one can argue the competition is lacking, they've had to do it without two all-stars, arguably making what they have accomplished as impressive as any finals run in NBA history.

Also, I've been pimpin the Warriors for a while now, although I admit even I didn't know they'd be quite this good. My next team to bandwagon is gonna be Philly. People think they hate them now, wait until that team is stacked and they start to put it together. Lots of teams will try to copy their rebuild and the anti-tankers will be screaming bloody murder. Should be fun.
I'm really interested to see how things play out for them. I expect them to be good (especially cause they're in the East), but whether they become true contenders will depend on Embiid.
Also, T-Wolves are gonna be very dangerous in the future. Wiggins/Towns combo could be epic.
There's a lot of great, young teams about to make the jump. But only one has Gobert.

I agree on the T-Wolves too. That's the team I'm keeping an eye on. Don't forget about Lavine and Shabazz. Problem with that team though is Flip is the coach. He's so old school. He still doesn't think the 3 pointer is a good shot. That's what might hold them back, that and the T-Wolves are just a bad all around organization.

I haven't followed Cleveland closely enough to know for sure, but in retrospect wouldn't they have been better off if they hadn't pulled the trigger on the Love trade? They still would have made the playoffs, right? Wiggins might have developed very quickly under LeBron's leadership.
lol, the hell is your problem? Korver being out for the playoffs is more than enough justification for re-emphasizing it.

The advanced analytics suggest that LeBron was better when Love was on the floor. Maybe a lot better. But, personally, I think they got soaked in that trade. They'll miss what Wiggins can do defensively when they face GSW (he'd really help guarding the perimeter).
