“It’s one of those things I have no control over, it is what it is”, said Brown, filling in for the ailing Steve Kerr. And yes, being to lord your favorite team’s superiority in a convincing victory will make you the smug, obnoxious fan you’ve always wanted to be.
“If Cleveland comes out of the East, I want to destroy Cleveland”, Green said.
Iguodala has averaged 25.3 minutes and 6.5 points per game in the playoffs for the Warriors, but was limited to 12.8 minutes and 2.8 points per game against the Spurs in the Western Conference finals.
“I think throughout the course of the playoffs, I think each team wasn’t going to be outdone, until we lost that game to Boston”, Lue said, referring to the Cavs’ loss in Game 3 of the conference finals.
The league will showcase the two best teams again when the NBA Finals tip off on Thursday night (ABC, 8 p.m. CST). But all in all, it seemed like nothing more than two superstars enjoying a good time as they look to win their second consecutive National Basketball Association title.
While the Cavaliers have their “Big Three”, they have reliable supporting casts who can play outside the arc.

“We have to be ready for the challenge”. Every night was hard. So maybe there’s just not an understanding of what you’re watching. Naturally, you’ve got to celebrate a little bit. You get to eat.

You just won’t remember it as readily.
James said at a summer basketball camp past year that he found motivation in “this ghost I’m chasing – the ghost played in Chicago”. Did two of the greatest teams of all time happen to have made a simultaneous rise.

“Obviously, I mean, I’ve played against four Hall of Famers as well too with Manu (Ginobili), Kawhi (Leonard), Tony (Parker) and Timmy D (Tim Duncan) on the same team”.
