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.

Thanks for clarifying Jerry West's stats. Thats what I get for taking stats from Steven A. or misheard him.

I stated "scorers" (not top 2 leaders in scoring) for a reason as I believe they are arguably the two best in the league. Statistically, they are obviously not.

Every decade has had dominant teams, but those teams had competition, except for the 2017- Warriors and 60's Celts. The Warriors will absolutely blow the league out the next few years if they can keep Durant, Steph, Green, and Klay together. Its a great time to be a Warrior fan.

Aside from being a Laker fan, part of the reason I haven't watched the finals this year is because it was obvious who was going to win it, and it wasn't going to be close, barring an injury to Curry or Durant. 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.

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

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

Maybe this makes sense to someone but it doesnt to me. Historically weak and unbalanced team in 2015? LOL They had one of the top defensive centers in the league, the runnerup in DOPY at power forward, and 2 very good small forwards in Barnes and Iggy. SO,, if you are trying to say they were just about the Splash Brothers think again.

As for last year, the Warriors were up 3-1 on Cleveland. Curry's injury had nothing to do with blowing that series. Draymond's suspension and Bogut;s injury were the biggest reason for their collapse along with terrible shooting by Barnes.

Finally, please tell me how they would be a more balanced perennial contender with someone other than Durant. Seems like adding the 2nd best player in the game makes them the best team in the league for some time.

Curry needed love and Kyrie hurt to win his first ring now he needed Durant to get his 2nd.

LeBron needed Draymond suspended, Curry hurt, Iggy hurt, Bogut out, a bail-out Kyrie 3 and an ice cold Barnes to barely win a ring last year without Bosh and Wade.

We can play this what-if game all day. It's dumb.

Lol. Your very own Lakers in 2001 went 15-1 in the playoffs. They had no competition.

LeBron needed a bailout three pointer from Ray Allen and a miracle stepback fadaway three pointer from Kyrie to prevent him from being 1 and 8 in the Finals....which is pathetic.

See, I can play that game too.
