I liked the shoutout Steve Kerr gave during his Finals speech to Phil Jackson and Lenny Wilkens :smokin
He learned from the best
 
Cavs lost. Dubs won. GSW was a better team. Time to move on to 2015-2016, when the Clippers take the title.
There is a Lebron fact to be stated here, I believe...
 
I don't even think Sactown and LAC are in the same summer league this summer

 Unless the kings are in orlando
Nobody considers the Orlando summer league the real  summer league.

Everyone knows its the Vegas title that counts. Common knowledge
 
Not exactly.


The Warriors get a lot of their 3's from steph curry drags from screen rolls, dribble penetration, dribble weaves up top, pindowns, Transition, and the like. Essentially, they get most of their 3's from getting the ball below the free throw line and kicking it out after they've collapsed the defense.

Their 3's would have been much harder playing a zone instead of man. 

But you're basing that on how they play vs man to man coverage. Unless you can show me some numbers or footage of them struggling vs a zone...how can you say they wouldn't thrive against a zone.

I mean the very point of a zone is to force a team to take outside shots. That's elementary school basic. So I can't see how forcing the #1 shooting team in the whole league into a zone hurts them. I'm not even factoring in having a front court of Barnes, Iggy and dray who all can dribble drive, flash, and cut up that zone.

Zoning GS is the last thing you'd wanna do, which is probably why you didn't see very much of it all year

Agree 100%. I could see going zone when Livingston, Iggy and at least one of the splash bros is sitting might be a good idea. Anything else I don't see anything good resulting from it.
 
Defend and shoot the 3 ball

They would already have lebron and irving and possibly love. No need for yet another superstar. Thats just od already
 
I don't know how someone thinks that by the Cavs playing zone, they might of have confused the Warriors.

Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Draymon and Iguadala.

How can you Zone that? Everyone saw that that boy could hear anything from being the arc.

So many miss matches would be created that I don't think the Cavs win one game.
