Iggy was more like an xfactor, for me, dapat si steph ang nanalo..

I've been waiting for the last banat of dpogs, kaya lang tulog pa din ata.

I have to say this now... (para maka move on na)

LBJ Fans and Haters combined with real GSW fans make the game more interesting.

It was another great season for the NBA fans in general. I'm not sure kung ganito kasaya kung hindi team ni LeBron ang lumaban sa Finals.

Thanks for all the infos, exchanging of ideas, arguments etc.

I accept my defeat. Looking forward to next season.

This is VenoM_Unleashed signing off in 2014-2015 NBA Finals WARRIORS vs CAVS thead. Thanks TS.

See you all next season. Peace!

Ang layo ng sagot

huh? I didn't expand my reply kasi my example was in response to you in regards to your point na wala si Irving and love. but if that is also your reply, eto sagot ko. mas mahirap para sa Lakers nun kasi game 6 na yun so no time to prepare ang Lakers. unlike nung sa Cavs sa case ni love matagal sila nakapaglaro ng wala sya bago pa nila makalaban yung gsw. saka mvp yung nawala sa Lakers tas nagbuhat rookie pa, wala nga ko makilalang ibang player ng Lakers e. eh ang Cavs nasa knila the best player in the world, Daming veterans na meron championship experience, hindi nya nagawan ng paraan?

Yun mga what if naglaro si Love, Irving or pati na rin si Varejao if mag iiba ang resulta. Just take a look at the finals history of Lebron-led teams. Thus far Lebron is 2-4 in the finals. Pagnagchampion si Lebron, inaabot ng average 6 games sa finals para manalo. But pagnatalo sa finals.... Lebron's teams average just about 1 victory in the series. Kahit na sino pa ang teammates niya...magaling man or hindi, pagnatalo, his team averages just 1 win in the finals. Talagang dominated. Yun ang nagiging trend. So baka little impact rin naman kahit nandun si Love, Irving and Varejao if talagang ilalabas ng GSW yun totoong laro nila.

The what if game..... If Gasol wasn't injured, maybe the Bulls eliminated the Cavs in the second round as well.

The if scenario what if the john Wall is healthy baka sila din ang champ sa east.

Good point. Yes, in the end the better team won. GSW knew how to win given the situation.

As for Iggy being the MVP, I have no problem with that. I thought in both games 5 & 6 Iggy was the X-Factor. Especially in games 5 where he made that "and 1" acrobatic shot. That, to me, was the turning point. The Splash Bros just put on the finishing touches. And Iggy's defense -- damn. Guarding LBJ alone, making him work for his shots, those are MVP-like performance as well.

Tama naman prediction ko 4-2 ...... wrong team nga lang LOL.

Woooo championship!

Congrats to the Warriors for a truly historic season!

Pati ang D-League affiliate team, nag champion din.

Congrats to Andre for winning Finals MVP!

LBJ will have a monster performance in this finals series, he'll be unstoppable, probably even score triple double average (30+ pts;11+ rebounds;10+ assists), Kyrie is back but I dont think he'll be 100%. GSW will rain 3-pointers from Thompson, Curry, Barns and Green.They will have running-offense which will render the Cavs' big men useless. Bench pts will be taken care of by Barbosa, Livingstone, Iguodala & Ezeli which will provide a huge break on their starting five. LBJ will carry the Cavs alone, with a little help form Kyrie and JR Smith but this is a team sport. they'll come up short.

Finals series turned out as what I expected. :-)

There's a school of thought that the Golden State Warriors somehow aren't worthy NBA champions. Everyone respects the hard work they've done, but skeptics love to shout that they benefited from forces beyond their control to reach the summit.

Those skeptics like to ask lots of questions, as skeptics do. Would they have won the title if Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love played in the Finals? Would they have won if the two next-best West teams didn't have to play each other in the first round? Would they have won if Oklahoma City wasn't reduced to a manic Russell Westbrook and nobody else? Would they have won if they weren't the only top contender to avoid critical injuries?

The answer to those questions is besides the point. Every NBA champion wins through a combination of amazing play, good health and luck. The last two Heat champions benefited from Derrick Rose's injury. Suns fans still think the Spurs' 2007 title is tainted by Phoenix's controversial suspensions. Michael Jordan's Bulls won their first title against a Lakers team falling apart with injuries and they never had to play Hakeem's Rockets. The 80s Lakers and Celtics played against JV opposition in their conferences compared to today's champions. The 60s Celtics didn't even have actual opposition until the Finals. We can play this game forever.

Besides, this year, the answer to all the skeptics' questions was yes. That's how good the Warriors were.

Golden State won 67 regular-season games and had one of the eight-best point differentials of all time. They lost just seven times with their full roster healthy in the regular season, an amazing accomplishment in an era where talent is spread so evenly through the league. They had the league's MVP in Stephen Curry and reasonably could also have won Defensive Player of the Year (Draymond Green), Coach of the Year (Steve Kerr), Most Improved (Klay Thompson) and Sixth Man of the Year (Andre Iguodala).

They then blew through the playoffs, going 16-5 with a net point differential matched only by three other champions since 1997. They never faced elimination, something LeBron's Heat, the Big 3 Celtics, last year's amazing Spurs and four of Kobe Bryant's five champion Lakers clubs can't say. When the Warriors twice faced 2-1 deficits, they made bold adjustments that led to three straight comfortable victories.

Those skeptics are just making excuses for not seeing these Warriors coming. With two notable exceptions, no credible voices predicted the Warriors would win the title before the season began. They made no major roster changes from a team that lost in the first round. A new coaching staff came aboard, but since when has a new coaching staff ever turned a good team into a historic one in one season?

Since 2015, apparently. Steve Kerr and his staff designed a new offensive system that activated the unique talents of Curry, Thompson and Green while elevating the already-stout defense even higher in the rankings. Kerr expertly navigated egos, moving proud veteran Andre Iguodala and former All-Star David Lee to the bench without incident. Then, he elevated Iguodala again in the Finals and sent Andrew Bogut, once the foundation of Golden State's defense, to DNP-CD land. Iguodala rewarded Kerr's faith by winning the NBA Finals MVP award. Every button Kerr pushed worked.

A coaching staff isn't supposed to make this big a difference so quickly. The Warriors' did.

Then, there's how the Warriors won. They are not the first champion to spread the floor and shoot threes, but they did it without a Big 3 like Miami, a legendary big man like Tim Duncan or a collection of experienced veterans like Dallas. Their star shot 30-footers and then countered with drives to set up three-footers. They pushed the ball for threes and accepted twos when those were taken away. They played fast and still shut teams down defensively. They turned down a trade for a top-10 player because they thought he couldn't help them win as much as a guard that hadn't sniffed an All-Star team prior to this year.

Maybe that's why skeptics exist. It's unreasonable to expect any team can transform this much in one year. It's unreasonable to believe any team can win in a way that flips the middle finger at the right way to win a title. It must be a historical blip, and historical blips quickly correct themselves.

Yet this actually makes the Warriors' title more impressive. It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win and innovate. The Warriors walked that daring path successfully, and in turn, they will inspire a generation of copycats around the league. That is the truest mark of a historic team.

The Warriors challenged everything we thought we knew about this game and won in dominant fashion when other basketball revolutionaries couldn't. You can choose to appreciate that, or you can keep appealing to the court of basketball conventional wisdom on the basis of procedural technicalities.

Your choice. Not that the Warriors care.

The Warriors aren't just NBA champions, they're historically great

btw, did Dell curry ever win a championship ring?

I don't think Dell ever won one.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #4427 on:** Jun 17, 2015 at 09:31 PM »

The Warriors are deserving champions. There's no guarantee that with Irving and Love, the results would be different. Take the 2 losses by the Heat in the finals. Lebron had Wade and Bosh to form the big 3. Imagine in those 2 finals defeat, an intact and healthy Miami Heat just managed to win only 3 games...... total/combined. So it's really not a sure thing. Thus I don't buy the idea that with Love and Irving, it would be different.

anong kaguluhan itong nangyayari... anyare...

nag Champion pala ang GSW bwahahahaha.... kaawa awang CAVS...

anyway... malaking bagay ang pagkawala ni k.irving at love sa cavs... this gives GSW high morale... malakas loob nila kasi alam nila depleted team ang cavs... kahit naman sino... kung alam natin na kulang kalaban natin wala ang mga magagaling aba eh gaganahan lalo tayo lumaban...

and they know na a player cant win against a team... kaya nigrab nila ang chance na ito... sabi ko noong una sana ibinigay na lang ang trophy sa GSW hindi na pinahirapan ang cavs kasi wala naman talagang chance ang cavs kahit na andyan si LBJ... nakakagulat nga eh... naka 2 pang panalo ang cavs

for me personally... malking bagay/diff ang magagawa kung andyan si love at irving... morale ng mga gsw players... ang mga advantages na nakikita ni coach kerr against sa isang depleted team... to be honest... natalo ng GSW si lebron or natalo ng GSW ang mahinang team - cavs is not complete without k.love and irving...

para sa akin dapat manalo ng finals mvp ay si lebron... kung umabot ng game 7

eh hindi kaya kahit na sino sa gsw puwede na

salute for LBJ (minus pagsasabi nya ng 'best player') for giving GSW a good fight...

tama na ang malakamoteng comments.... eto na ang tunay na comments ko dyan....

anoooo.... panipaniwala kayo na malakas at mananalo ang cavs kasi andyan si greteat player LBJ + coach with years of international experience... asa pa kayoooo... sa kangkungan kayo pupulutin ngayon... LOL

hays... sarap ng gising at sarap pumasok ngayon sa trabaho... pinakisamahan na kayo ng panahon... umulan ng malakas ngayong gabi para marami kayong kasamang palaka sa kangkungan... ha ha ha ha....

naka 2 sunod na panalo lang champion na agad... asa pa... nasaan kayo ngayon... sa kangkungan... LOL
