Kwani si alipata ya Finals za East mwaka jana?
Hata 2007 alikuwa na Cavs wakati wanawin East.
Jamaa anapishana na gari la mshahara huyu. Asubiri tu.

Labda hujanielewa mkuu...
Naongelea Ring sio ubingwa wa Conference.. Ile Ring yenyewe ya finals..
Varejao atapata sababu amechezea timu zote mbili ndani ya msimu mmoja..
Kama Cavs watashinda basi atapewa na kama aliyekuwa mchezaji wao maana alianzia season akiwa kule kabla ya kuondoka katikati ya msimu.. Yeye matokeo yoyote ya finals hayamuhusu teh teh

Ndio hivyo mkuu... Soma hapa..
Regardless of which team wins the NBA Finals, Anderson Varejao is going to be happy because he's guaranteed to receive his first NBA ring.
The 6-11 big man spent 11 full seasons with the Cavaliers before being dealt to the Trail Blazers on Feb. 18 in a three-team deal that involved the Magic, who sent Channing Frye to the Cavs.

The Blazers unloaded a second-round pick to get a first-round pick and Varejao, who was immediately released. The Warriors picked him up four days later.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Varejao is the first player to play for both Finals teams in the same season.
After playing 31 games with the Cavaliers, Varejao averaged just 8 1/2 minutes over 22 regular-season games with the Warriors and has seen less floor time in the playoffs. He scored two points Monday night in Golden State's Game 7 Western Conference Finals victory over the Thunder.

Mkuu mi mbona nilishasema kabla hata ya Play offs kwamba timu ninayoiogopa kukutana nayo kwenye play offs ni OKC pekee... Na ndio hii imetusumbua..
Cavs wala sina hata mashaka.. Hata game 7 haitafika..

Haya mkuu, nilikuwa natamani sana kina Durant tukutane nao Finals maana ni walaini sana kwa LBJ.
Ila nyie tutawafunga kwa shida sana, ninaamini game plan itakuwa physical game 1 na 2. Baada ya hapo tutaona upepo utakuwaje.

Je, unadhani Cavs wanaweza kucopy game plan ya OKC!? Maana hawa wameonesha mapungufu ya GSW.

After Further Review: Unanimous MVP Steph Curry’s Defense Extremely Impressive
He may be the greatest shooter the game has ever seen. He has limitless range, back-to-back MVP awards and happens to be a reigning NBA champion as well. In today’s NBA, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is on an offensive plateau all by himself, as he shatters his own records from year to year. Still, one area of his game has been debated: his defense.
Curry is not known as a disruptive defender and some stars have, on the surface, found success against him. For example, Damian Lillard and Russell Westbrook, two premier scoring point guards, have averaged 29.1 points and 10.3 assists per game this postseason against the Warriors when Curry has played, with five double-doubles in seven games.
A closer evaluation of the numbers besides points and assists tells a different story – those two have combined to shoot just 37.4%, and Westbrook is just 8-for-25 with seven turnovers when Curry is his primary defender. All of this seems to suggest that the points and assists are essentially steady accumulations that can be accredited to more possessions in games against Golden State given the torrid pace (Warriors have a 101.7 pace this season, 2nd in NBA) and surplus of shots early in the shot clock.
Consider this: point guards who have recently been All-Stars – Chris Paul, John Wall, Kyle Lowry, Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Rose, Jeff Teague, Westbrook and Lillard – averaged an incredible 25.8 points and 7.1 assists per game against the Warriors this season. While that would appear to be a poor reflection on Curry’s defense, a deeper dive into the metrics prove the opposite is true.
Stephen Curry’s Defensive Statistics
Category Statistic
Defensive Field Goal Percentage 40.2%
3-Point Defensive Field Goal Percentage 31.5%
Defending Isolation Plays 34.4%
Guarding Against Post-Ups 38.2%
Defense After Getting Screened 34.0%
Defending In The Paint 36.6%
It turns out that Curry’s defense may be better than originally thought. Though he isn’t necessarily a big or strong point guard, he doesn’t get bullied in the paint or on post-ups. Similarly, though he’s known primarily as a jump shooter, he’s athletic enough to put up stout numbers on isolation plays and after getting screened.
Klay Thompson is generally considered to be the better defender of the Splash Brothers, but Curry’s defensive field goal percentage is 2.8% better than Thompson’s 43% mark. It’s also 6.4% better than Clippers point guard Chris Paul, who was selected to the NBA’s All Defensive First Team earlier this week.
Curry may not be in the upper echelon of premier perimeter defenders or worthy of being in the Defensive Player of the Year discussion, but the numbers suggest he’s not a liability out there for Golden State. He battles hard, handles the assignment he’s given and competes on every possession, which is even more impressive considering what he gives the team on the offensive end.
Sometimes the box score just doesn’t do the game justice, and the perception about Curry’s defense appears to be a direct correlation to that misconception – points and assists just don’t tell the whole story. If Curry’s defense was so poor in a league loaded with highly skilled offensive point guards, the Warriors would have never broken the all-time wins record with 73 this season and wouldn’t be in pursuit of their second consecutive NBA Championship.

Nimekaa nikawaza ndugu zangu kuwa LeBron needs to win this ring though ni mission impossible to name it.
Next season namwona kabisa Pat Riley akimchukua Kevin Durant aiseeee. I'm sure Wade will agree for a pay Cut kutengeneza timu bora.
Kevin Durant pia atakubali pesa iliyokuwa ndogo kupata a complete squad.
Bosh
Luol Deng
Kevin Durant
Dwayne Wade
Goran Dragic.
Na kama Hassan Whiteside akikubali kubaki itakuwa balaa with the Joe Johnson and Richardson available bila kusahau Justice Winslow

GSW imeingia tena kwenye lile kundi lililo-defy odds kwa kuwageuzia kibao OKC, from 1-3 to 4-3! Ni timu chache sana zilizoweza kufanya hilo na fundisho hapa ni kwamba kwa Warriors it ain't o'er til it's o'er. Historia ya GSW itakapoandikwa itakuwa na mengi mapya lakini la msingi litakuwa ni jinsi walivyoweza kui-revolutionize mchezo wa Basketball!
Kwa mara nyingine chuki za Barkley kwa Warriors zilijidhihirisha alipotamka kwa mdomo wake kuwa OKC wangeitoa Warriors katika mchezo wa jana. Ningekuwa yeye ningeachana kabisa na hizo tabiri zinazokufanya uonekane juha kabisa asiyejua hata anachoongelea! Ni aibu kubwa kwa hall famer kujidhalilisha kama anavyofanya Charles Barkley!
