Kevin Durant left the franchise that drafted him to join a super team in Golden State.
O'Connor lays out some fairly enticing arguments for why LeBron could join either L.A. team.
I qualify: Not with Durant's defense but with Durant's offense that can stop James. "I didn't know what happened, but I'm not going to be the one to say someone should not play, because you want everybody to be at full strength, right?"
With the Warriors unbeaten in the postseason and a victory away from a second title in three years, a number of former players have said their teams would have beaten them. "And that's what he been doing".
No team in 126 tries has ever rallied from 3-0 down to win an National Basketball Association playoff series, so James - playing in his seventh consecutive finals - figures to fall to 3-5 in the championship round, going 2-2 with Miami and facing a 1-3 mark plus second sweep out with Cleveland.
Golden State's Kevin Durant scored 31 points, including seven in a game-ending 11-0 run that stretched the Warriors' playoff unbeaten run to 15-0 and their lead in the best-of-seven championship series to 3-0. Keep on coasting through the East and maybe you'll get some lucky breaks and win another one or two titles against the Warriors. "So, yeah, we came in the game believing we were going to win for sure". "Let's worry about us trying to build something that's bigger than our name". They had opportunities as well and they made the majority, and we didn't. But it works for their team. This Warrior team is about the oppressive now even more than the potentially dictatorial future.
James passes Jordan for third in NBA Finals scoring
Golden State teammate Draymond Green has repeatedly been penalized for his past kicks, which the league deems an "unnatural act". JR Smith has been dirty from in and out and Kyrie Irving has been a shadow of his show-stealing self from previous year .
As far as Rose knows, it will not be the Los Angeles Clippers where his good friend CP3 is expected to renew his contract; it also won't be in Sacramento and definitely not with the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors were still up three points in Game 3.
James, 32, can hit free agency again at the age of 33-likely leaving years of good basketball ahead for his next team and group of teammates. Golden State and Cleveland have now played five games this season, including the regular season. James said the letter disrespected him and his family as a whole. "So his only thought in every situation is, "How can I make these guys better?"
They need another one, starting Friday night in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Smart drafting led to a 73-9 team last season, with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green leading the way. Huge LeBron fans that would shout from rooftops and he's the go because they didn't see Michael Jordan play I was fortunate enough to see both of boy. "We missed some shots, and they made some". (Udonis Haslem) and D-Wade.
"I mean for me, personally, when I made a decision to go back to Cleveland, I had to decide - because our owner at the time when I left chose to put out this [censored] article that we all know about where he completely bashed and disrespected not only me as an individual, but disrespected my name". But is it fair?
