Think about how many awful basketball players who wouldn't have been rotation guys on our team played significant minutes in the NBA Finals, because they had Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving on those teams.

Lebron finishing that dunk at the end probably would have made me cry. We did damn good for a team that was beat up, going against the champs.
Come back next year prepared to be in that situation and maybe we can make it interesting.

that says a lot to me. we take care of business in round one or two next year and shore up the 4, we could push the cavs to 7. maybe steal it and go to the finals.
if you are atlanta or detroit, especially atlanta, it means less because they got swept. we stopped the sweeping and got the series to 6 games.

if that series is won by the warriors easily, you wouldn't think we were farther away from contention?
The Warriors might have won in 5 if Green hadn't been suspended. I don't think that would really change our performance against the Cavs. Sure, the Warriors look more beatable today than 2 months ago, but I don't really buy into the vibe of "just happy to be here" in any series. You make the series, you play to win it. I thought would could have won games 6 and 7 against the Cavs if we had punished them inside with JV more. If we had won that, we could easily have been swept or maybe even won. All just hypotheticals.
We stopped playing two weeks ago, I don't see how anything that happens after our final buzzer really changes anything. We still need to have a better balanced and diversified offence. We still need to maintain our playoff defence. We still need help at PF.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

pre-playoffs there was lots of talk about how far we could get. then we got to where we did and the talk was we can't get over that hump and we wouldn't stand a chance against the warriors. well we did, and this is fact, push the team that beat the warriors to 6 games. that happened. with all of our pre-series problems.
i can safely assume that had the warriors won in 5 this board would be up about how far we have to go with a 2 that can't shoot, a coach that can't coach etc.etc.
personally, i feel somewhat encouraged that we gave the cavs a scare and that we won a couple games. we are definite contenders, in my opinion. need some tweaks and a bunch to go right but we could do it. like someone else said about the mavs. just keep giving yourselves a chance and it could go right.
