The Warriors struggles in this series have almost nothing to do with the defense. LeBron was never gonna beat them single-handedly as long as they could be even 70% of what they usually are on offense.

The fact that this series was even close was attributable to a few factors, the main one being a simple, age-old axiom.

This is where the generational divide is really coming into play.

Man, I need a Deadspin social justice warrior starter kit so I can understand what is and isn’t ok to make fun of here.

Who does this hurt, though?

Lamarcus Aldridge. For Ty Thomas.

You put snot on the ball?

I know your job is to write the best posts you can with what you are given, but a question. Did you even pull up the Clip’s BR page for 2013 before you wrote this? I think if you go back and look at it, you’ll see it was a roster in flux that featured a bunch of old guys or impending FA’s. In the less than 24 months…

There’s another way to see this, though.

Man. So you are saying the Warriors, who scored 61 points in he first half after having 39 in the first half of games 2 & 3, won the game because Tony Allen was guarded by Andrew Bogut for 16 minutes?

countercounterpoint:

I would agree on Drew and Barry, but that’s it. Burneko is a forced memer to a cringy degree and Howard, well let’s just say the Blaxpert thing is unsettling and leave it at that.

Just my own luck that you, the consistently wrong guy who butchers NBA columns with admirable consistency, would be the one to write this post.

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. Every two bit website from here to Geo Cities is going to throw every available dollar at Simmons, including this one. Hard to see where not having ESPN’s bid in there affects anything.

He’s the president of SAG.

Oh man. What did Tex Winter do?

Man, just a parade of babies, from everyone in the Manny camp to everyone on this website.

so, you missed game of 5 of last years OKC series, then?

Boy, I’ve never heard that one before. Well, except after every major fight of the last twenty years.

Oh man, so you are telling me that the most powerful sports related entity on the planet is doing what is can to make money off of the most important, lucrative sporting event in recent memory, even though one of the principals in said event is a horrible person?
