    So the "real" NBA Championship was versus the Rockets? I don't think the Rockets could have beaten the Cavs if they made the Finals.

    So you think the conferences have the same competition? I would think the west has way more talent than the East. All I know it that with the firing of Tom from the bulls we should be able to make some turnarounds for this next season.

    Not the turnarounds you'll want (if you're a bulls fan).

    His post season record is lets see http://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/thiboto99c.html

    23-28.

    LOL, go back and look at "Playoff Records" with Del Negro, Sikes, Cartwright, and Floyd the ten years prior to Thibs. 51 playoff games in 5 years compared to 34 in 10 years from all coaches after Jackson and before Thibs. Played in almost double the playoff games in half the amount of time. Good luck with that though...

    You should listen the the losing Lebron james press conference after game six. You will see how I feel about making the playoffs and still losing. I agree with him. He is one hell of a player. He ain't the best in the world said Klay Thompson.

    I guess K T (pronounced "Katie") has a little wiggle room for some talk like that. I'd have to disagree with him, though. I'd also want to know who he considers the best in the world if not LBJ.

    As far as playoff losses go, you'd rather have a bad regular season and NOT make the playoffs than make the playoffs and lose in the conference semis and finals as a fan?

    From a fan standpoint, having a bad regular season after Derrick rose go hurt one of the many times he has yes that would help us get something in the draft. I'm starting to feel Derrick is a very unreliable player.

    For example the Cavs, have you heard what going on in the rumors for there team?

    "We ran out of talent" was reportedly a comment James made. I read further quotes where he explained how losing two all stars to injury hurt, and those statements came off much better. But I can't help thinking about his teammates that Lebron feels are short on talent. I know some people get a high from playing with the "best player," but personally I have always been the type that likes to beat the best player. I am thankful that I get to do that on a regular basis in the recreational league I play in. Regardless of what level you are playing at, there is always a best player on the court (or field). My best friend and I are in our mid 40s and play against guys in their early 20s. Many of the guys we play against are more talented than we are. But when my best friend and I are on the court together, we win more than we lose. Far too many people put more of an emphasis on talent than chemistry and teamwork. Sure, the talent always manages to get their points. But it a TEAM that wins games.

    Don't the hawks have amazing chemistry and teamwork? Who they lose to again being number one seed in the playoffs. Who was the talent of that team again? The whole starting five?

    yopeeps, I honestly couldn't answer (or debate) your question because I don't follow the East at all. Although I live in the East, I personally never have time to catch a came until late in the evening. The West teams. And that is how I started following Golden State. And I know pretty much the entire world views Lebron as the best player in the game, but I personally would prefer to watch Curry over any other player in the league. When Curry is playing, I can't turn the tv off. He is just so much fun to watch.

    The west was way more fun to watch during this playoffs because everyone kind of already knew the eastern conference finals would be who was in it. Curry shooting ability is out of this world. Some of those shots he literally throws up reminds me of Allen Iverson but better.

    Lebron can be the best player in the world. There are some hall of fame players with zero rings. Oh Reggie Miller. Hey Patrick Ewing. No rings.

    When the Warriors lost 2 straight to the Cavs, the radio hosts here (KNBR's Gary Radnich and Larry Kruger) were debating on who they should get to give the Warriors a pep talk. And the one of the people they mentioned was Dan Marino. Because Dan made the Superbowl his second year and had a lot of talent around him, they thought was they would be a force to reckon with in the next few years. He never made it back again in his career. So the emphasis was "SEIZE THE MOMENT" because it may never come again. Apparently the front office listen's to the flagship station and they just went out and won the next 3 to seal it.

    I'm going to try to make the parade tomorrow. Good luck with traffic.

    The Portland Trailblazers have been my team for my entire life. Loved watching them when I was growing up and still do. They have almost always been an OK team, sometimes even been great and of course had a few years of stinkerhood. This off season has so many question marks with almost the entire team including 3 starters becoming free agents it is impossible to get a feel for the team moving forward. At least I know I get to see some movement in the off season, that is always fun.

    Championship parades are awesome. I was fortunate enough to have the last Steelers parade go right past where I work.
    It's been great so far because of the GIANTS Championship parade in October, and now followed by the Warriors in June!!!! Now if the 9ers can do anything....................................

    @melmelw03 Cavs have always been my team having family in Cleveland but OKC I have always rooted for. I hope this is their year! I really need KD and Russell to win a championship together.
