Completely disagree with this. Kyrie and LeBron went bonkers. But if Curry would have played anywhere close to the level we are accustomed to watching him play at, I dont think this series is competitive. Bron always will get his. Kyrie to a lesser extent will too. But even with those two going nuts, we still should have won if we played better.Yeah I totally see where you're coming from. I guess I looked the series from a different perspective...as I watched the games, it felt like it was LeBron/Kyrie taking their games to a different level and snatching the series from the Warriors rather than the Warriors choking the games away. So the Cavs won rather than the Warriors lost (at least from my point of view). They were the better team toward the latter part of the series, they figured out the mismatches and how to make the Warriors uncomfortable. I'm definitely assuming they'll bounce back from this (which could be wrong...I sure hope not of course) and get better next season.So basically you dont feel this hurts so much because you are assuming we are going to be right back in contention again next season. That is fine, you are certainly entitled to think that. However, I dont see how that assumption changes what happened this season. And what happened this season is that we were 60 minutes away from back to back titles, and we blew it. Blew it three times.I agree, it's another reason why this doesn't hurt as much to me as I thought it would. The story of this Warriors team isn't just this season - it's probably the next 3-5 years as long as the Warriors have Curry/Klay/Draymond in their primes. How they respond to adversity is probably just as important, if not more so, in how this goes. Looking forward to next season already, but I'm glad we finally get a break from all this at the same time.
I'm hoping Warriors go 2013-2014 Spurs next season, get the rematch against LeBron in the Finals, and win.
That hurts. I am shocked that some of you are in the place you are in today. This is easily the biggest sports disappointment of my lifetime. Nothing is even close really.
