Mimi msimamo wangu unatokana na hizi data na kama unavyoona katika vipengele vyote vinane CAVS wanaongoza katika kimoja tu huku GSW wakiongoza kwenye saba zilizobaki. Sasa labda itokee miujiza lakini kwa wana hesabu kama mimi numbers dont lie, sasa nawaomba na hao wengine waeleze madai yao tamejikita katika data zipi?
Numbers lied last year, they are due to lie again.

Kumbe ni swala la historia! Basi kama ni hivyo inakuwaje timu zinashindwa kutetea ubingwa?

Chochote kinatokea mkuu, wewe umeanza kwa kusema number hazidanganyi, mimi nikakwambia mwaka jana zilidanganya na hata mwaka huu zinaweza kudanganya tena.
Swala la kushindwa kutetea Ubingwa inategemea na ubora wa timu pinzani mkuu, pia zipo zinazotetea Ubingwa.

Kwa hiyo GSW huiweki kabisa kwenye orodha ya timu zenye ubora...kwani ubora unapimwaje, past history or current performance?

Mkuu naona ulazamisha niikubali GSWs, mimi kwangu ninyi siyo bora, isipokuwa mmepata bahati ya kukutana na Spurs yenye wagonjwa kama mlivyochukua ubingwa mwaka juzi kwa kucheza na Cavs yenye wagonjwa.
Cavs in 6.

You might be right, son!. But the thing with the Finals/Wrestlemania/Super Bowl/Grand Slam Finale, etc is Who Has More Hunger For it?!. Nikupe tu mfano toka kwenye mchezo mwingine... On 3rd Feb 2008, The New England Patriots (my Favorite team in the world) lost to the New York Giants 17-14 in the 42nd Super Bowl after posting the "Perfect and Undefeated" Season 16-0 with every records back then belonging to them well until that Super Bowl loss. You can imagine the pain we Pats fans had to go through.
What I'm trying to tell you here is, no matter the numbers, the records, and/or the weapons... on the biggest stage of them all...it all comes down to Who Wants it More. Everybody wants it more, that's what anyone can say, but there's always that one who hungers for it as if it's the last trophy to be given on the planet. And that can be seen by observing who put his best weapons to use efficiently and productively.
Ndio maana mimi inapofikia steji za fainali, huwa nakaa, block all the outside noise (the ones you keep hearing/the comparison ones/the derogatory ones/the underestimating ones), and enjoy the skirmish/hustle everybody from the 2 teams is putting out there to win it all. That's all. Ukisema unataka kujiaminisha na kuaminisha watu kuwa "certain team will win it because of so and so records/numbers"...my friend, utajiumiza tu moyo/kichwa bure. Just sit back and enjoy the game afu GSW wakishinda this one, njoo niunge mkono kwenye victory celebration, ikiwa Cavs wakishinda njoo hivyo hivyo, holding your head up high and like a true warrior, accept defeat and congratulate the victors.
May the best team win!

Ndio maana sijasema popote kwamba GSW will win or must win na kama sikosei nimekubali toka mapema kwamba CAVS waki win nitawapongeza. Ninachokataa ni watu kui-rule out GSW moja kwa moja eti kwa sababu walichoke mwaka jana...if anything that fact alone is enough to drive them to seek revenge na kuonesha kwamba what happened last year may have been a fluke kwa CAVS all due to overconfidence.
Still the fact remains kwamba kwa performance ya mwaka huu GSW have done better than CAVs na ndio maana wanapewa nafasi kubwa zaidi. Nimepitia tabiri nyingi na asilimia kubwa zinasema hivyo isipokuwa these devotees wa JF...to them wanasubiri tu kutwaa kombe. Na hapo ndipo tunatofautiana...watwae kombe based on what, last season's win and what else? Love for super man, King Lebron, the steam roller?
In 2015 Srephen Curry of GSW was the wonder super kid, the baby faced assassin until he broke the taboo...left the King in tears in front of a fanatic crowd. Overnight the wonder kid became the most hated amongst the LeBron's lovers...how dare this nonentity do this to the King? The rest is history and since, it has not been that exciting to the boy.
And now here comes the traitor to join forces with the mutineer, God forbid! If one read the insults being spewed by the haters against Curry and KD and it doesn't end there...there's this ugly villain, thug and what have you, Drammond Green who had the nerve to be disrespectful to his majesty. The DUBS became the most hated team in NBA 2017!

Lemme ask you a question... What would you rather be, a hero or a villain? Underpaid or overrated?
Ukishajibu hapo juu, in your hearts you'll know that, it doesn't matter what the world say as long as you believe that you're right and can back that up. The rest of the world... Tst! Let em hate.

LeBron James' Home Vandalized with Racist Graffiti
Tim Daniels Featured ColumnistMay 31, 2017

The Los Angeles home of Cleveland Cavaliers superstar forward LeBron James was found with racist graffiti on the front gate Wednesday morning.
Los Angeles Police Department Officer Aareon Jefferson told CNN they received a call Wednesday morning making them aware that the n-word was painted on the gate of James' home. Jefferson said by the time police arrived, the slur had been painted over.
James was not home at the time and Jefferson told CNN the police are still investigating the incident and cannot say if the home was burgled.
Last July, James was joined by longtime friends and fellow NBA stars Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade on the ESPYs stage to make a statement about social activism and race relations. ESPN.com passed along his comments about athletes using their power to create positive change.
"Tonight we're honoring Muhammad Ali, the GOAT," James said. "But to do his legacy any justice, let's use this moment as a call to action to all professional athletes to educate ourselves, explore these issues, speak up, use our influence and renounce all violence and, most importantly, go back to our communities, invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them, help strengthen them, help change them. We all have to do better."
More recently, Jake Becker of the New York Daily News noted the 32-year-old global sports icon commented on racism after Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones spoke out against racial slurs he heard during a game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
"It's a delicate situation," James said. "Racism, we know, exists. You try not to put yourself in a position, for me as a father, I try to give my kids the blueprint on how life is gonna be. But at the end of the day, I can only tell them so much, and they have to go out and live it themselves. For me, I just try to be respectful, for one, respectful to others, and I feel like if you do that consistently, then I believe the karma will come back to you."
He added: "It's not great for sports. It's not great for society. You got guys like Martin Luther King, who all he talked about was trying to unite all of us—no matter the color, no matter the race, no matter the shape or size."
Meanwhile, James will attempt to lead the Cavaliers to their second consecutive NBA championship in their third straight Finals meeting with the Warriors. It would be the Ohio native's fourth title after previously winning two during his time with the Miami Heat.

Problem with your analysis is, you'r using regular season numbers to predict the finals, If you've been watching the NBA you should know by now that the Cavs only care about being healthy for the playoffs, so they use the regular season to just pace themselves, Warriors play same way whether its regular season/playoffs, so its obvious if you're using those regular season numbers you'll be misled. There's also this thing is sports we call match-up: Some teams just seem to match-up well with another team. Watch tennis, Nadal always (mostly) beat Federer although most people consider Federer a better player. Djokovic seems to have Nadal's number although most people consider Nadal a better player, Murray always seems to be a tough match-up for Djokovic while we all know Djokovic is a better player, what i am saying here is; you can't predict sports based on numbers alone, lies, damn lies and statistics... both these teams haven't really been tested so far, which means this is each team's toughest series ( blazers, utah, spurs without Kawhi we just a cakewalk) same with (indiana, toronto & boston). Let's see who has more gear, lets see who want's it more.

Mnalialia sana, yaani Curry and Co kushinda Cavs liyokuwa haina Kevin Love na Kyrie unasema eti it left the King in Tears!
Talking of GSWs doing better than Cavs this season isn't a case man, cause I think the disparity was even bigger last season, remember you had a team that broke the all time record 73 wins but still you choked.
You guys have been calling LBJs move to Miami as a ring chaser, now it has turned to your beloved team getting KDs services and people are expressing their views on the same standard but you are crying.
Don't be double standard man.
