Colin Cowherd is awful. He's not just annoying, he's just flat out ignorant and quite frankly just an idiot :D

5 of the 8 most annoying people I've ever heard talk were sports pundits

I saw a video where he said Centers should not be included amongst the all time greatest players. Haven't listened to him since.

So uh finals, right? Cavs in 6 six, what do you guys think? I've actually heard some people think Warriors got it because the Cavs defense looks suspect. Fair point but I actually think LeBron is too much right now.

too much firepower for gsw unfortunately.

last year cavs won because they schemed on leaving a perimter guy opened, that was barnes who was something like 3-30 from 3p territory.
this year its going to be klay or durant left opened. case closed.

Will the refs call moving screens on Draymond Green? Will they call over the back fouls on Thompson? I wonder :monto:

You're forgetting that this years Cavs are different from the ones last year.

They have a better bench now and better shooters so that they don't have to force their way into the rim as much as they did last year.

Maybe.

Probably.

However

3 point shooting teams usually start losing their legs late in the game in finals with this much intensity for every play.

I hope to see GS start throwing bricks the longer the series goes

Anyone but GS. Please.

Like Congo said, it's going to come down to whether Korver (and Thompson) can impose themselves in the finals.

If they can, Cavs are taking this.

The Warriors will win this. Sorry Lebron fanboys and Cavs fans.

Congo if LeBron wins this series, you think he can be considered the undisputed GOAT?

I think yes.

And leading in every category in the finals. He went off on Golden State.

I just think that if he wins this year, people don't have a valid reason to dispute his status anymore because he would be beating a team with 4 HOF.

Undisputed?

Arguably goat

But it would be a good argument

This championship and maybe 1 or 2 other rings- then yes

MJ is the GOAT, LBJ is a top 3 player already but he's just slightly worse than MJ (advanced analytics say so) and of course 6-0 in comparison to 3-4. I put some money down on Cavs for the series because the value was too good to pass up but I could see GS in 5...
