Haha that one's great. 73-9 is still impressive, but much like the Patriots' perfect regular season it really doesn't mean much. If anything, people will just remember this as an exceptional team that somehow followed up an amazing comeback (down 3-1 to the Thunder) with the biggest choke job in nba finals history (first team to lose a 3-1 lead). I look forward to seeing what the Warriors do next season. I don't think they'll be in the ballpark of 73-9 again, but they definitely aren't going anywhere and might play with a chip on their shoulder in the playoffs. Also curious to see what they do this off season. If I had to pick a team to win it all next year, it'd still be the Warriors. The one thing that this series confirmed that the previous finals heavily suggested in my mind, though, is that LeBron is still a tier above Curry. He may be of an age and have the mileage that he has to pace himself in the regular season, but he impacts the game in more ways than anyone else once he reaches the playoffs. |
Curry is just in the perfect situation. Honestly, he wouldn't work or be nearly as effective on the vast majority of other teams. LeBron is the entire freaking business wherever he goes.
