Again thats poor analysis from your standpoint; yes the game was close but why was it close? lets dig deeper as opposed to looking at the box score; it was close because of turnovers; GS had 20 in the game, I think like 12 or so in the 1st half; and green was in foul trouble; Take away the trunovers and the game isnt close; again Cavs havent stopped GS in none of the games they have played this year; they arent about to just outscore them, which seems to be their approach; No the Cavs havent turned it up; their defensive rating is the same rating, basically, as it was in the regular season; they were just playing inferior teams; they were more talented then the teams in the east, and they knew it; all those players again were playing against weaker competition and coaching; and you keep saying these guys havent done nothing; why is that??? whats preventing them from doing something??

And this goes back to my response to you saying people are copping pleas for Lebron, if the guys that are with him aren't doing their job then you can expect him to get beat. People saying Ray Allen and Kyrie BAILED Lebron out!!!!! No they did their job as part of the team, something some of those guys aren't doing so far in this series
 
LBJ legacy is fine; he has 3 rings and countless of stats; he is a great and will probably but put on Mt Rushmore; the thing about other teams trying to do what the dubs have done; is it wont happen; it was a perfect lucky storm that teams cant duplicate; as far as them being compared to other greats, well thats going to happen; if they win and or sweep, they will be starting to be compared to other dynasties....

I think that LBJ has already been put on Mt. Rushmore by people. But, when he retires? Perhaps get a Statue of Liberty size joint mounted in the HOF Bldg because he WILL be regarded as the undisputed GOAT!!

As for what you said about the Dubs not being duplicated, I can accept what you said from a talent standpoint, but I do think teams will attempt to sign max players in order to compete against teams like GS and Cavs. Star players are not going to just play for money and be loyal to a disloyal team. They want rings and if it takes them to squad up with other superstars to do it, then that is what they are going to do. We shall see what happens in a few years, especially of the Dubs and Cavs go back to the Finals next season.

Fair enough...but why aren't these guys doing their job; I'm sure they want to

LBJ won't go down as the undisputed GOAT unless he passes MJ...

As far as the Dubs, teams will always try to create some type of version of a "super team".. but it won't work for a number of reasons and it won't be nothing close to what the Dubs have done; overwhelming majority of teams don't draft well: the dubs drafted Curry Klay Green and Barnes... think about that for a minute; and none were 1st overall picks meaning other teams passed on them; that is amazing; They help to develop players; look at ian clark and mccaw (who was drafted) clark is a solid rotational player and i think mccaw can be a solid starter; look at mcgee and how far he's come; hell who knew West could pass like he has.. now let's look at the lucky side: curry is the main reason why all of this is possible; if he wasn't hurt early on in his career he wouldn't have signed the contract that he did, they wouldn't have had the extra money to sign KD; not to mention the cap spiking at the right time allowing them to sign KD; and KD becoming a free agent at the right time; and Barnes becoming a free agent at the same time also; and the cap had never spiked like that before; the nba had never seen such a spike; not to mention Curry not having a problem sharing the spotlight; none of them do; and they are all young; most super teams that formed are older; they are just hitting their prime; and they gonna get better; this is only their first year playing together:eek2::smh:; plus these idiot owners agreed to put in measures to prevent this from happening again in the new cba; so they essentially have sealed their fates for several years :lol::lol:dummies:smh:; and players aren't giving up the money for a chance to win; you think a 32-33 year old CP is gonna give up 50 mill for a "chance" to win lol; ask L Aldridge how that has worked out......

Thunder were the closest in terms of drafting right and they fucked it up. I also dont see another 'super' team with this generation. Any combination that includes Melo, CP3, etc will just be a group of old motherfuckers trying to get one (see Malone and GP in LA). Plus cap restrictions and egos will fuck that shit up too.

I believe the competitive nature of the AAU circuit will ultimately take us back to the mindset of wanting to beat a motherfucker instead of joining them.... this hoe age LeBron and them started is gonna be short lived... and good riddance to it...

Man I hope you're right. I'm so ready for real competition to come back. These dudes fake talking about, "We friends off the court but on the court you stand in my way".:hmm: Man FOH, y'all friends on the court too and talk about how y'all going to join forces while y'all waiting on Free Throws.

Yep... thats why Im glad this hoe ass generation is slowly fading. LeBron started that hoe shit but you can see him and the rest of that hoe ass 2003-2007 generation is fading.

Nigga gets his numbers but all he really shoots at this point is lay ups and Ive NEVER seen him get roasted like he has lately.... losing a half step right before our eyes....

You made a compelling argument. As for LBJ being an uundesputed GOAT, meaning surpassing Jordan, that is a possibility from a statistical standpoint as well as from a subjective standpoint. It is possible that Lebron could go to the Finals for a most the remaining portion of his career. I am not saying that it will happen, but it is plausible that it could happen.

As for how GS built their team, you may be right and it may be very difficult for other teams to duplicate what GS done for the reasons you have stated, however, that does it mean that what VS has done can't be done ever. The league, players, rules do change. With that, anything is possible, so with that being said, time will tell what happens especially when these other stars become free agents. Good post from you!!
 
This series is over. It's time to start talking about who the Dubs should sign next season. Curry, Iggy, Livingston, Durant, Clark, West, McGee, and ZaZa are all free agents

it's not over. Cavs will win tonight. no telling what happens after that.
 
Must win for CLE. GS is going to try even harder then the first two games.

Better have some underperformers perform tonight or it's curtains.
