Doesn't matter. The "better" team at the time they played one. Injuries, records - doesn't matter. The 2 teams made it to the finals in entirely different paths. Gs and the Cavs had 7 games to show who was better in the series, and it came down to a game 7, and the Cavs were better.

I choose to praise teams that find a way to win, even if others say choke or easy division or whatever. When you are the champion, you are the best.

Warriors had to win a game. A. single. game. Out of three. Two at home.

I don't want to hear about missing Andrew freaking Bogut. I don't want to hear about Draymond Green.

They were up 3-1.

They got beat by a team with a better leader. LeBron is a legend. Steph Curry faded in the biggest game of his life.

Cavs fans really don't want to hear about injuries after last year's finals.

I never understood how people use injuries as an excuse. Injuries are variables of a team's overall performance just as the fatigue of players. It's just like any other risk factor.

can't compare the soft west coast to a hardworking blue collar city like Cleveland. They were just too gritty for golden state to handle.

during the regular season opposing teams don't have time to adjust due to playing different teams each night...in playoffs, a team can concentrate on just one team...I'd give Tyrone Lue his due for adjusting after game 4.....

Exactly. No saltiness here, and people never want to give the winning team their due (just like with the recent WCF).

Didn't LeBron also finish before Curry in the Finals MVP race last year too or am I mistaken?
