They were the best team the year before and would have been the best team this year, even without Durant.
Durant joining the Warriors and cruising is not a validation of Durant. He's always been a tremendously talented basketball player. He's also not in the same league as LeBron.
Durant is a great basketball player. He's also a coward who has been coddled by the media his entire career. I'm not going to kiss the ass of a guy who left a team that was a game from the Finals to join the team that beat him because he couldn't shoulder the burden of being the #1 guy on a title contender.

This is not the same Cavs team as last year. I'm the only person in the world on Blatts jock. But that team had 5 players playing their asses off on both ends for 4 quarters. Lue had the romeo effect last year. Blatt coached a tough team, Lue was able to take that tough team to the finish line.
Even Tristan Thompson, mr hustle, is sleepwalking in the finals. Lue wants to win games in run and shoot fashion. He cashed in his tough chips and traded them in for gunners like Korver and Frye who are worthless on defense.
I'm not surprised about what happened. They're losing because the only way they can win this year is to outshoot golden state. I don't know why. The last 2 years the gritty Cavs had the best formula to bear GS. Why did they ditch that for this street ball bullshit?
