        Game 7 was great and the story lines were v good but it had one close game. Yeah I can't go that far.

            Is it bad I still think that Spurs-Heat series was the best 7 game series I've ever saw.

                Yea to each their own. This one can be in the convo though imo

                Picking this finals when it saw a team coming back from 3-1 for the first time in finals history, in a rematch against a team that won the most regular season games in history and beat them last year isnt too crazy.

                  I don't think he's questioning the fact that you have seen all the finals since 86 but more like an explanation on how theses finals were the best.

                  It didn't generate that many good games really.

                    What a great game 7. I definitely wanted the Warriors to win to complete the historic season, but also because I was worried about Cleveland winning, James simply stat padding and then the world forgetting about everyone else. I'm actually happy for the Cavs though because James brought his man's game for a 3rd game in a row AND the others stepped up (mostly Kyrie and Smith coming up big on the road... and a Love sighting).

                    James' block on Iggy felt like that moment in a a kung fu movie when the star finally "gets it"... when a DBZer first goes supersaien... when Bruce Leroy first got the glow (y'all gonna get one of those references, lol). It would've been capped off if was able to finish that dunk attempt over Green at the end. That would've been played for decades.

                    ... and this doesn't help. How do you know Wiggins wouldn't have made them better? And most of the argument about the trade was 1) they could've filled the need with lesser players and improved the team in other ways with the leftover money and 2) they weren't really competing with anyone so they probably could've ended up with Wiggins and Love. So really, what's your point? They won a championship so they couldn't have been better? I hope you got more than that.

                    Bogut was missed, Iggy still wasn't right and Green wasn't worth much games 5 and 6... that's some serious damage to your defense. But I think this is where Kerr deserves the most criticism. With the moving parts they have, they could afford to play this way most of the season, but when it doesn't work for whatever reason (those I mentioned before, Curry not being quite right, James/Kyrie going HAM) you have to be able to adjust. It seemed like he didn't want to adjust bc the team hadn't practiced much else which is unacceptable. If I'm reading too much into that, then it's unacceptable that they stuck with it.

                    Iggy was MVP last year mostly bc of his D on James... so when your switching strategy is hurting, why not try to keep him on him as much as possible. He's hurt? Why not try to keep Green on him as much as possible? Or hell, Klay if it keeps from switching Curry on him?

                    The Cavs never really gave up on their isoball strategy, they (Lue... bc he deserves some love) just found a way to make into a semi offense with high screens to create mismatches, and GS just let them do it. They also cranked up the defense which created more fast break opportunities... where any of these teams shine the most. I don't know what it finished at but I think at the half, the Cavs had 13 fastbreak points to GS's 0.

                    No idea what happened to the Warriors' defense. Even with the injuries, the effort just didn't seem to be there. Curry was WAY too reckless with the ball. The behind the back pass is an obvious one, but he had way too many cute passes into traffic and too many turnovers trying to get fancy with the dribble. Who knows how hurt he is, but mentally he was not at the level he needed to be... and the Cavs definitely tested that. Was actually good to see.

                      Im old school too and im nostalgic about games in the past eras too but just because something happened in a past era doesnt automatically make it better than everything that happens today. Things that happen today can still be considered among the greatest.

                        I think there are different criteria for "best finals ever" from those who watch every finals series and those who watch the entire season and/or playoffs.

                        Watching only the finals is how Ariza becomes a superstar and Steph Curry's MVP award (a regular season award) gets criticized.

                        BTW, no Steph didn't play anything like an MVP in these finals... that's why he was far from winning it. The award he won, playing all those games you didn't watch, was much deserved.

                          yes people have different criteria. true

                          Winning the regular season MVP doesnt necessarily mean that you are the best player on the planet. Shaq only won one for example.

                            Uhh, no. I've said that Wiggins doesn't make them more of a contending team, way before any of this. I don't know he wouldn't have made them better...I'm speculating. Which is what all of us do here. He doesn't fill a need for the Cavs to become a title contender. Love does.

                            And no, you're wrong. Usually when people criticize the Love-Wiggins trade, it's after a bad performance by Love, and they are usually thinking about a 1 to 1 trade, not anything else.

                              Yeah only 1 or 2 games were close but that doesn't mean they weren't good, excluding games 1 and 2. Two guys going for 40 on the same team in a road elimination game, LeBron giving two all-time performances plus a game 7 triple double, and plenty of memorable plays and drama.

                              One of the greatest comebacks in the history of sports (don't think I'm exaggerating too much here either) with one of the sport's best players giving some of the best performances you'll ever see. Just my opinion obviously but I thought it was great.
