    I've come to the sad conclusion that I want CLE to win the title this year.
    I need to go shower now...

    Nah, just poorly constructed defensively. You can get up, they were historical blanks.

    If only we could play defense that physically like OKC has been.

    Me too, I use the excuse that the Cleveland fans deserve it because of what Lebron put them through.

    The good thing about OKC beating the Warriors, is that now maybe our conference won't be embarrassed by the LeBrons.

    The other good thing is that now with all the negative press maybe the Warriors won't be the Golden Child of the NBA. That would be great.

    I don't think we have the personnel to. Aminu and Henderson are prolly our only real physical defenders. Even if we had the leeway from refs, I don't think we would have been able to slow Curry et al down. Our guys just aren't built that way. Dame gets blown by every time, CJ isn't physical, Hark is still learning, Plums is pretty plumless at the rim. Ed is alright, but he's too thin to cause much damage when bumping cutters, etc. Crabbe is not fundamentally sound.

    Just night and day when it comes to OKC, when they're solid and physical defensively 1-5. KD is playing the best defense I've ever seen from him.

    My line of thinking goes like this:

    1 - LBJ already has a ring.
    2 - OKC should NEVER win a ring.
    3 - DeRozan doesn't deserve a ring.
    4 - Fuck GSW.

    Yeah, I don't want CLE to get a championship - at all. But that sentiment applies even more strongly to OKC and Durant. This is definitely a lesser-of-evils for me, and I'll be disappointed either way. Pretty much like Hillary vs Trump - screwed either way.

    Henderson? Or do you mean Harkless? I never saw physical D from Hendo on a regular that I can recall, but I do recall Hark getting in some mugs...

    In theory, I agree. But that team doesn't deserve a championship. If they were actually a championship-worthy team then they'd be my preferred choice - but they're not.
