The Cavaliers were injured last season

[FKAri]

There was one constant both series:
Zero Votes Curry

[J Shuttlesworth]

Comparing the two is absurd.

The Cavs were without two all nba level players...the Warriors lost Bogut.

This. And let's not forget they had Bogut for most games on the series. Also, the Warriors won the championship last year by limiting Bogut's minutes to near nothing in the last 3 games. The equivalent of what happened to the Cavs in 2015 would be if this year, the Warriors lost Dray and Klay for the entire series.

Warriors lost



#1 Curry to MCL Injury

#2 Green, the team's best defender, to suspension under dubious circumstances

#3 Iguodala, the team's best perimeter defender, to back injury

#4 Bogut, the team's best rim protector, to knee injury

Warriors lost

#1 Curry due to MCL Injury

#2 Green, the team's best defender, to suspension under dubious circumstances

#3 Iguodala, the team's best perimeter defender, to back injury

#4 Bogut, the team's best rim protector, to knee injury

#1: Curry was still able to play, still healthy enough to drop 38 against OKC, also no reports of surgery, Kerr said he's ok, Curry said he's ok, stop with this excuse.

#2 Green got suspended for too many flagrants. That simply isn't dubious. He's a child, and deserved suspension

#3 Iggy's minutes weren't limited in game 7. He was really only injured for the last couple games but was still able to play

#4 Bogut... yes got injured and wasn't able to play 2 games

Not a single one of these injuries comes close to losing your second and third best player for an entire series.

1. Curry played and looked like a monster against the Thunder the last 3 games. Again...what changed? Other than the Cavs being physical and Kyrie owning him.

2. Green's suspension was his own fault. Stupid gets you beat. Self caused mistake.

3. Iggy played and looked good for pretty much the entire series outside of game 6.

4. Yes, Bogut got hurt.

Yup, and let's not forget Love had the concussion too. It's time for excusefan to stop

[warriorfan]

Kevin Love struggled to find minutes in the rotation during the 2016 Finals

The Cavaliers turned the series around when Kevin Love wasn't playing

Kevin Love is not a good match up against a healthy Golden State team

Going big with athletic and long defenders and slowing down the pace was the right strategy against Golden State in 2015

So Kevin Love being out in was addition by subtraction, this was proven by his lack of impact in the 2016 series

[NattyPButter]

The blue print is out on how to stop Curry so they probably won't even make it to the finals. The Cavs will also have a much harder time making it to the finals. All East teams will be much better next year.

Kevin Love is the Curry stopper.

1. So lets get this straight. Andrew Bogut averaged 12 minutes per game. Kevin Love averaged 26 minutes per game. And it was Love that struggled to find minutes?

2. What lack of impact? Yes, he wasn't as good as he normally is, but the Cavs actually performed pretty well with him on the court in the finals. He hardly killed them like everyone said. Lebron not playing great through the first 4 games was not Love's fault. Kyrie struggling the first 2 games was not Love's fault. It wasn't addition by distraction...it was Kyrie and Lebron starting to play great.

3. So you think the Cavs win game 7 without Love?

[Hey Yo]

And Curry wasn't voted for FMVP once in either series

Notice how it's never "FMVP Iggy was hurt this year?"

5. I thought all these guys mentioned were scrubs anyway!!
