2015 NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavs

I'm digging silver's mvp picks so far. Kawhi & Andre. Seems like he's actually watching the series and not simply picking the best player on the winning team

The media votes for MVP:

I don't even feel bad for this idiot.

Some Cavs fans on Twitter hyping up LeBron and talking about how MJ and Kobe would've been swept. Look, he had a huge series, but that's just desperate.

thats rather sad actually. i still dont understand why fan have to fight over who was best ever anyway. people need to stop getting invested in celebs that dont even know who they are. they act like they are winning if people agree that "their" guy is the best ever. just sit back and watch great basketball players put on a great show. this finals was better than expected

Completely agree. They are all great in their own ways and people should just enjoy them for the amount of entertainment they provide us.

Besides we all know Adam Morrison is the GOAT.

Despite losing LeBron already did well than any of the teams he had in the Finals that he lost.

2007: LeBron & roleplayers: 0 wins (as expected)

2011: LeBron, Wade, and Bosh: 2 wins

2014: LeBron, Wade, and Bosh: 1 win

2015: LeBron & roleplayers: 2 wins

Just shows that the Heat were/are pathetic if it weren't for LeBron carrying those two other frauds of the 'Big Three' in back-to-back rings.


Iguodala Finals MVP

Well deserved than giving the award to that fraud Steph Curry.
Kudos to Kerr for willing to dig to his bench and find something that works, instead of doing a 'Pat Riley' the way he stuck with John Starks that cost them a championship loool.

Just realized from your post, if LeBron makes it back to the Finals next year he'll have appeared in 70% of the Finals in a decade. Magic probably only has the same % of the modern era. (Obviously West/Celtics did.)

EDIT: Bird/McHale/Parish only went to five Finals, 3-2.

Magic went to eight Finals over ten years, and nine over twelve years. 5-3 in the first eight, then lost 1991 to the Bulls.

EDIT2: Kobe did seven in eleven years. 5-2. 4-2 if you take either set of ten years.

making the finals 5 straight years is amazing no matter how much people want to bash him for losing some of them. just like how people want to bash the buffalo bills for losing 4 straight superbowls instead of talking about how amazing it was to make 4 straight

I called this result when LBJ bandwagoners were raving after their 2nd win of the series.

LeBron broke Magic's record of four straight Finals this year.

To get any other players with that many you have to go back to the 1960's Celtics: Bill Russell, Sam Jones, K.C. Jones and Satch Sanders. (I honestly thought it would be more of them. Guess the overhaul mid-way when Cousy/Ramsey went out and Havlicek/Nelson/etc. came in was more than I thought.)

You also called him staying in Miami so there's that...

Other strange Finals facts:
No MIP award winner other than Boris Diaw has ever won a championship.

Sheed had his ring resized to fit his middle finger instead of ring finger.

Hakeem couldn't wear gold as a Muslim, so his 1995 ring was made out of platinum.

On another note; goodbye to the Matrix. Solid defensive player in his prime.

1 out of 2, I will take it.

2 rings in 6 finals. How far do you have to go back to spot this type of failure?

Steve Kerr first rookie head coach to win since 1982.

ESPN's pre-season predictions:

Most 3-pointers in a single postseason

Stephen Curry 98
Reggie Miller 58 (1999-2000)

Also the first rookie coach to dominate the league like this? I mean these Warriors were historically good.

What good is it if your best player takes 35 shots to score 35 points. And make 5 assists and turn over 3 times. Sure he's the only option on the team but you aren't going to win a series with pitiful ORtg. This requires your team to cover for a lot of other aspect of the game in order to stay in the game. Look how insanely good Tristan was in this series (except tonight).

AND THE LOGO JERRY WEST IS CALLED MR. CLUTCH DESPITE BEING A BIGGER BOTTLER THAN LEBRON?

Hakeem couldn't wear gold as a Muslim, so his 1995 ring was made out of platinum.

That's even more expensive.

You forgot Sheed having custom made championship belts for his teamates.

Belt don't lie.

i think this only proves that kerr really was better than jordan

When they lost the next year Sheed should have turned his belt over to Duncan. And this should have continued somehow.

I feel sorry for this guy:

i feel bad mostly because its shit work

I don't care if it's funny, I feel unease looking at grown man's leg with some random shit drawn on it.

With a retarded tattoo like that, no harm done. People would laugh at him even if the Cavs won somehow.

Glad about Iguodala winning the MVP. Really surprising how close LeBron got to taking it.

Also, I think over 90% of us NLSC members predicted (was really easy) the Warriors to win. Has there ever been a more clear cut team for the winner here one the forums ?
