2015 nba finals: golden state warriors of oakland versus the cleveland cavaliers of cleveland

i feel for harden, it's really hard to be that good night in night out

steve kerr seems so cool, i wish he were my friend

steve kerr's story is pretty incredible. key player on championship teams, helped put together a team that permanently altered the game, became one of the best broadcasters in the nba and then became a coach and made the finals in his first year

naw he came in at the end of the suns run

kerr was dope in college also

he was the official GM at the end but he helped out the front office before im pretty sure

regardless

kerr was generally panned as a gm iirc

like i think he's pretty much admitted he was bad at it

looks decent to me

the shaq thing was just so huge it's v hard to judge appropriately

riley curry is a star

Kerr had to do some horrible things under financial pressure from Sarver.

David Griffin and D'Antoni probably deserve the most credit for building the Suns.

Steph Curry will become 1st player NBA history to face each of other 4 members of 1st-team All-NBA in same playoffs.

this is totally crazy to me btw

not that it's the first time but that it could plausibly even happen and it did

its cool cause hes the mvp too

also each of them are on a diff team

its like some street fighting tournament

#Warriors say Klay Thompson began to show concussion-like symptoms after the game, after not showing any when originally hit in the head.

Got popped in the jaw and said he was dizzy. I bet he's concussed. Lucky there's like 2 months til the next game

going to be sweet to see the two best players in the game (curry & dellavedova) playing each other

Cavs in three (Warriors say No Más before game four)

lol

The Cursed of the Based God is real. :o

you might say it was cooked up

mjax gonna deeply resent kerr for the rest of his life for this for sure

Sometime after klay got rocked by Ariza's knee, mjax mixed it up and said something like "you wouldn't know this from outside but after green, curry and Thompson are the toughest guys on the team"

Like he was ready to grab a sandwich board with I USED TO COACH THIS TEAM REMEMBER written on it and parade around oracle

This is the wildest thing also because it requires exactly one (1) player from the opposite conference to be on the first team, then also make the finals

nah all 4 could be on the team he plays in the first round

I was thinking Bird would have done this, but it looks Bernard King screwed it up for him in '85.

Also fact that they lost championship that year probably didn't help.

given how much a team's performance is tied to superstar players, I'm surprised it hasn't happened before - though the fact that Curry is getting exactly one per round and (most likely) beating them all really is something cool
