I will go as far as to say Top 3. MJ, Magic, LeBron? Yeah. Definitely. I do want to show some love for Kareem though. But I'll have Magic over him.

Brilliant from Boston ! Utterly shut down LeBron and proving that without LeBron the Cavs just aren't that much of a force ! Golden State should take note of this .
Just an amazing performance full of grit and valor . 21 points down but they clawed it back.

The problem with the Cavs is there's always one of those types of performances around the corner. That's why the Warriors are a slight click above them.

Draymond can slow LeBron down, no one is going to slow all the warriors down, they are too good of a TEAM, 80% or more of their buckets are coming from assists and you can't stop that

Since then the Warriors have added one of the top 5 players in the league to go with the 1 they already have. LeBron may be the best player around, but 2nd and 3rd in that list have teamed up and it'll be difficult for #1 to stop them.

True but Irving was sensational in the finals last year and is catching fire now. Love is the key for me. If he can contribute it'll make a huge difference. He was sacrificed for the team last year but may have a different role this time. Warriors would be favourites but there is a bit of an All Blacks feel to them, beating teams before the game because of their rep. The Cavs aren't intimidated by them and will certainly compete.

Damn fine sarcastic post, especially since I have been watching and following the game, likely since before you were born Aye, I do realize that, doesn't change what I think. right now, with exception of perhaps Chicago with MJ or Celtics and Lakers in their hay days, I think Warriors are the best team I've seen right now, the way they are playing.
LeBron is incredible, a monster, and maybe the best ever, (though he'll go a way to convince me he was better than the Big O who carried his team without assistance) but it is a team game. We'll definitely find out here before too long when the final whistle blows. I like the way the warriors play ball. '

Managed to avoid the result all day and just finished watching the game. That was brutal.

Lazy stuff from the Cavaliers, honestly. 20 turnovers is ridiculous. Golden State had only 4, which goes to show the Cavs were so poor defensively. Love, Irving and Lebron did their part but Tristan Thompson, JR and the supporting cast were shut down superbly. Special props to Klay Thompson, who had one of the best ever 6 point, 3-16 shooting nights in the history of basketball. His defending was immense. Shut Kyrie down early and stifled Love as well, who also had a monster night on the boards - 21 rebounds are you kidding me? Only Shaq did as well on the boards in an NBA finals game.

What I think what some people had kind of forgotten, because LeBron is probably GOAT, is that when it comes to Position Basketball, Durant is IMO top 3 small forward of all time, behind LeBron and Larry Bird. When KD decides to turn it on, no one guards him either. Cleveland could be in serious trouble if Green and Thompson get going at same time as KD and Seth.
I think this Warriors team is the best club I've ever seen, (with Durant) right up there with Showtime Lakers when they get going, and could play with Jordan's Bulls.
I don't watch much during reg season, love my college ball, but sure do love watching the Playoffs, unreal athletes. Have seen a couple exhibition games (Jordan got 39 was his 2nd year) those guys are not just graceful, they are strong you can hear them banging over the crowd.
Ass kicking opening from Carlos! Ready for some basketball
