I was sure about it but did not want it to go this way.
It took too much bad luck to dethrone the champs.
But it was a lot of luck involved to put this team together.
Everything is balancing itself over time.
When Knicks bad luck will be balanced?

Raptors run was unexpected and impressive- it's right up there with the Mavs and Pistons, vindication for Lowry too after all the years of choking.

Hope the Warriors thought losing in 6 was worth ruining KD's career and tearing Klay's ACL.

Doubt anyone will say the Warriors are a better team without KD any more- shame it's too late.

Warriors are screwed going forward.

The funny thing is that by not caring enough for the long term health of KD they made things 10 times worse for their organization. If KD does not play they don't win game 5. This means KD does not get injured again and Klay does not get injured in a game 6. They go from the possibility of having everyone come back healthy next year to only Curry and Green. Karma is something else.

Yep, their decision to rush KD, cost them KD and Klay and they still lost

I guess they shouldn't have been playing the game because they should have lost game 5, right?

So GS lost 2 of their 4 stars to serious injury in 2 consecutive games. I thnk Klay now returns for sure. He was 99.9% before and now he is 100%, I would guess. Likley should be ready by March. But you never know. KD is likely to still leave, so GS will need to rebuild a bit to make the playoffs.

I never blamed them for Klay's injury. I do blame them for KD's injury though. I just stated that rushing KD back started a chain of events that ended up with both KD and Klay with almost full year injuries and they still lost. If KD does not play in game 5 the warriors lose game 5 and then Klay would have never gotten the chance to get hurt in game 6. You might call this bad luck but I call it karma for rushing KD back.

thank y'all. crazy ride. shows you that you don't need a superteam to win it all. this year's raptors were a combo of the 04 pisons and 11 mavs.

That's what I thought too- and very entertaining for us non-raptor fans too, gives hope to the whole league

Hmmmm, I like that.

If KD never gets hurt, this wouldn't be the case. I understand injuries are a part of the game, but the Raptors really lucked out.

Yeah, but GS lucked out with injuries a lot of times in their previous finals- CP3, Kyrie, Love, etc all went down in various playoffs- in fact didn't Kyrie and Love go down in the same finals series vs the Warriors?

If Kyrie and Love dont go down in 2015, I think the Cavs win that series, no question. Injuries are a part of the game, but the Raptors were on the fortunate end of it this year. They won because they were the healthier team, not the better team.
