I remember the '96 Bulls, it was Jordan and Pippen as Batman and Robin. Rodman for D and rebounds, Kerr was a good PG and 3 point shooter. The center position was okay, Cartwright and Longley. I forget who came off the bench, Caffey?

Wennington too.

I will watch some of this series. I suppose if I had a favorite player in this series it would be Curry. I say this from some past interviews I have seen him in. 

As for the teams, I don't have a favorite. I think it boils down to a rested team taking on a battle tested team. I have read that it also boils down to which team makes the most 3 pointers.

If the Warriors are healthy after their playoff run, then I would give them the slight edge in 7 games.

I've always thought it was more in rebounds. Especially offensive rebounds. Just those few extra possessions matter.

In this match up you might well be right.

Sorry Steph, though your team is winning this series so far. Lebron has been the best player on the court for the NBA Finals ;) 

Lebron is 2 points shy of leading every statistical category for the series! He's the only player to average 40 minutes per game, He's averaged 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2.4 steals, and 2.0 blocks.

Get this stat. Lebron's teams in the playoffs are 83-33 (0.723) when one other player on his team scores 20+ points.

Thank God the NBA Finals are over!

For what a great basketball season it has been, the finals were completely  unwatchable. (I fell asleep on my couch in the middle of three of the seven games in the series.)

World Champs. Hey Curry, maybe now we'll be asking if your visiting locker room "still smells like champagne".

Lebron was a beast in this past finals.... truly one of the greatest .... I think he has finally redeemed himself! Who else is excited for the NBA season to begin again?

I think this is worth bringing back now that the playoffs are nearing the end of the first round in some contests and others are very much undecided, This time around it looks like Steph and the Warriors are going to have to go through the whole playoffs without coach Kerr, also KD may be finally returning monday, the Cavs got past the Pacers but not without some highly contested games makes me wonder when they probably face a more talented Bucs team in the next round will they be able to lift themselves enough to move on.

Pistons kept most games close in the 1st round last year, too. 

They also got swept by the Cavs...
