The media is bashing Lebron for being a choker and not taking over the game. I am sick of watching his team in the finals and I really hope he retires but I can't judge him on being a closer. He isn't the best scorer or passer. He is just really good at everything but his Finals win-loss record speaks for itself, Worst Ever after this blowout.

For all the Warrior fans, do you think it is good for the NBA if the Warriors keep dominating the league with their All Star Team against a watered down league that can't compete against them? Don't kid yourself by saying there's competition out there because there's not. If you sweep the playoffs (or lose one road game), that says a lot about the Warriors and the rest of the league. Every dynasty from the 1980-2000 Lakers, 90's Bulls had competition. The Warriors do not, having the top two "scorers" in the league and a tremendous support staff.

Hillarious coming from a Lakers fan that got to enjoy Kobe-Shaq dominating the league after Shaq came as a free agent.

Also

1. James record is not the worst finals record ever. The GREAT Jerry West was 1-8 in NBA FInals. Wouldnt you know this being a Lakers fan?

2) The Warriors do not have the top 2 scorers in the league. At least get your facts straight.

Every decade has had dominant teams. When the Warriors match the Celtics of the 60s , the Bulls of the 90s, and the Lakers in the 00s perhaps its time to worry.

lol. Good post John
Hawaii be jelly

time for the greatest comeback in sports history

Jerry West was 1-8 so it won't be the worst ever....Jerry West is also still the NBA logo despite that hideous Finals record

Witnessing the greatest team in history? Nah. I'm loving it. Besides you can blame Lebron for super teams. He's been on one since 2010. GS is just better

Like when the Lakers' all star teams (full of free agents) had to get past the legendary bibby/webber/divac combo. I remember that.

Yeah that was a horrible team. Same when the bandwagons the glove and Malone joined. I was glad they didnt win one.

Yeah he's been phenomenal in the office (not that he wasn't a phenomenal basketball player) but dominated the 80s with the Lakers and has helped build a monster in GS

Only 10 teams have won a championship in the last 28 years. Take out the last two years and it is 8 teams in 26 years. Plenty of dominant teams in just recent history (including your Lakers who had a playoff run with only 1 loss). And then take a looks at some of the numbers for the Bill Russell Celts for comparison.

Thats a great pic. I'd like to see the NFL comparison. Yes, I agree, lots of dominant teams there. Ive been watching basketball since the 80's and from what I see, these Warriors (if they stay together) will blow out the league for quite some time.

yep can't blame the Warriors here, shoot the 2015 ship was won by a historically weak team in terms of all around balance...then they go and almost repeat in 2016(which they would have if it weren't for that ill timed injury to Curry). Basically the Warriors accomplished the most you possibly can for being that one dimensional. They could have become a more balanced perennial contender with someone lesser than Durant but then they still would have been overmatched on paper to Cleveland. This is all of Lebron's fault, and its funny to watch his interviews because you can tell he wants to say something about how unfair it is with Durant but he has to be very careful because he knows he got beat at his own game

Wow. If we win Friday, what a way to get back at the "you blew a 3-1 lead"!! Cavs fans. If they mention it we kindly respond with 4-0. Lol

Agreed. It's going to be absolutely sweet to beat a stacked Lebron team that was 12-1 heading into the finals and was beating teams by almost 14 ppg. That's a super team. And it backfired on the Cavs because GS is better. No more 3-1 jokes either.
