Fair Tax!
Not a fan of the game that much but I watched every game of this finals. Great television and very satisfying Game 7. Congrats Cavs fans.

I know it's not as glamorous as a 50 year title drought, but I'll put DC's 18 years without reaching a conference championship (despite having teams in all four sports for most of that time) up against any depressing stories or numbers the folks in Buffalo or Minneapolis can come up with.

There were two big TV events last night competing for attention. I decided to watch live the heavily scripted series starring two real bastards locked in a decisive battle and DVR the other.
Now, I'm going to sit down and finally watch last night's GoT.
(nobody's made this joke yet, right? I'm not reading all the words here.)

what i was thinking about this morning in my car to work: bigger win on the Cavs part or biggest choke job by the Warriors? i keep coming back to the Warriors here with the historic regular season, regular season MVP, and up 3-1. all the credit in the world to LBJ and cleveland, of course, but holy cow that is an epic collapse!

Lucky for the Warriors, the whole 'Cleveland is a disaster of a sports town' is overshadowing the talk of their collapse.
Their luck really never ends.

Even if I didn't love watching Lebron (I love phenoms who live up the hype and he's basically the defining athlete of my generation) the whole "Dubs" thing would have been enough to root against the Warriors. So lame. Good news it that most of the guys in the rotation are all totally unlikable for a variety of reasons, (only exceptions are Igoudala, Bogut, Barobosa and Livingston) so it was easy to take joy out of their historic collapse
Congrats to Cavs fans.

Great game 7. Congrats Cleveland fans.
Incredible defense by Cleveland...really impressed by TT and LeBron of course...but Kyrie was up in the jersey a lot and Kevin Love even played a little D, most notable at the end there.
Props to Tyronn Lue for all of his adjustments...really thought he won the coaching match-up. I get waiting for Barnes to find his shot early in the series, but at some point can't you just give those minutes to Barbosa and/or Livingston?
WHEN'S THE DRAFT? Let's go.

It will be interesting to see if it carries over into the regular season. He had an unbelievable year that just didn't seem sustainable, and yet he kept it up the whole year. Does the house of cards come tumbling down?
mr. furley
Footballguy
don't doubt that he is/was dealing with some sort of injury that limited him in the playoffs. curious to find out the severity (if any).
Cliff Clavin
Footballguy
He looked really cool throwing that behind the back pass out of bounds though.
I've never liked the Dubs thing, but Draymond is really the only player in this series I disliked.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
Good point, that was an oversight. Seeing Draymond have such a nice game last night clouded my judgement.

his failed flop-for-a-foul attempt 3 times in a row in that last game was disgusting

No, because there is no way that type of defense is played in the regular season. Curry will probably be the MVP next year again, or right up there in the voting at the very least. It would be a mistake to make any sort of significant change to that roster. They are ready to roll again, easily.
Cavs will be interesting. Very interesting. Good luck to anyone who can accurately predict that opening day starting lineup. I hope JR comes back. I hope they keep Love rather than trade him for basically nothing but cap space (unless it means getting Durant or something like that of course). Jefferson will be gone which sucks.

The got rid of him because they thought the fans would never forgive him, but pretty much all Browns fans love him. I was rooting for him when he won with the Redskins.

Yeah, but they aren't all the same. Miller and Marion last year brought nothing while Frye and Jefferson each contributed during the playoff run.

Agree with the rest of your post, but the bolded is implying a false narrative. 21 players played for the Cavs in 2013-14; only 5 of them opened the 2014-15 season with the Cavs -- Irving, Thompson, Dellavedova, Varejao, and Waiters -- and Waiters was traded away in midseason. Irving was just 21 in 2013-14 and Thompson was 22, so both of them are still improving. Meanwhile, the Cavs added not only Lebron, but also Love, JR Smith, Mozgov, Marion, Shumpert, Miller, and James Jones in 2014-15.
James deserves a tremendous amount of credit and respect for what he has done in Cleveland (and his entire career), but he didn't strap the worst team in the league on his back and carry it to the Finals. It was a completely different team.
Draft express has Boston taking Dunn, and that seems to be consistent with some of the buzz I've been reading.

Kraft...

Agree, it sounds like they think Brown can rebound and defend in the league right now which is what they need. Maybe they take advantage of those skills for now while the others develop
Like I said not a huge fan of the move if thats what they do.

After witnessing the World Series victory parade and rally and Kansas City last fall, I am very much looking forward to Cleveland's parade turnout this week.
