Yes, because

Nice. Golden State fags truly are the worst.
>>68582638
as someone who enjoyed 18-1, it still not comparable. 18-1 was 17 straight wins for the patriots. The biggest game of the nfl was their loss. there is nothing, and i mean nothing comparable to that. unless the warriors went undefeated all regular season and up to game 7, sorry nba its not comparable.
>>68582726
> what is away game?

That would be remembered as "LeBron GOATing his way to overcome a 1-3 deficit" rather than the Warriors shitting the bed. Patriots did shit the bed, they lost to fucking Eli Manning.

Youre retarded. What im saying is that these Cavs are no better than Eli's Giants so theres no reason to change the narrative.
The Warriors won more games than any team in NBA history. If they lose in the finals that's on them and nobody else.
Yes.
But not really because 18-1 is much "cleaner" and thus more effective.
But logically, yeah this would be much worse, most wins in NBA regular season history only to have the worst choke in NBA Finals history
>>68581694
>>68581774
>>68581780
Agreed. However do the records in B-Ball even matter? They could have gone undefeated and swept the finals. Still not as good as 96 Bulls, or many other great teams.
This has to be one of the most emotional series in all of NBA finals basketball.
Not only is it the same teams taking it to 7 as last year, but it's also old vs new, kind of like SB50 with Mannings vs Newton.
I hope Bron Bron takes it home, and retires to watch the Warriors not even make the playoffs next season and the Splash Bros get split.

Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season (only team in NFL history to do that)
Won their first 2 playoff games
Then the last game of the season, the Super Bowl championship, they lost.
>>68584054
It's bigger than any of that.
An NFL team won every single game that season, and won every playoff game up to the Super Bowl. They matched up against a cake team and lost, ruining a perfect "18-0" season.
>>68584054
>With the #1 seed in the AFC playoffs, the Patriots first defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, 31–20, then the San Diego Chargers 21–12, to advance to Super Bowl XLII, their sixth in franchise history. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, with this accomplishment, they became the first professional sports team since 1884 in any of the four major American sports (football, basketball, baseball, hockey) to win the first 18 games of their season.[5] Facing the prospect of a perfect 19–0 season with a victory over the underdog New York Giants, analysts saw the 2007 Patriots as being the greatest team in NFL history.[6]
>Despite being the overwhelming favorites to win the game, the Patriots failed to protect a four-point lead on a Giants drive late in the fourth quarter. A dramatic pass from a scrambling Eli Manning combined with an unbelievable catch by wide receiver David Tyree put the Giants deep in Patriots territory, and a Manning touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress gave the Giants a lead with just 35 seconds left. The Patriots could not score again and came out on the losing end of what is considered one of the greatest upsets in sports history.[7][8] The Patriots ended the season at 18–1, becoming one of only three teams in NFL history to finish their season (including postseason) 18–1.[9]

You would think that, but I doubt there are any legitimate, non-bandwagon, GSW fans on /sp/. I expect the usual shit where the other 'fanbase' disappears if they lose. It'll be the same shit if the Cavs fail after coming all the way back. Only the Lelbron posters will get any real shit, but then it's all memes with that shit and there's no real banter in /nba/ threads, since the playoffs started.

Superb owl is 1 game. On any given night any team can get lucky or play a perfect game to upset a better team. In a series, the better team should always win. Warriors legacy is very much on the line Sunday.
>>68585147
Lebron isnt considered GOAT by anyone.
You cant go 2 of 6, 2 of 7, or 3 of 7 in the finals in a career of ring chasing and be considered the GOAT.
He might be the most athletic person to ever play the game, but he's not the most skilled. Top 20 for sure, if he's lucky he cracks the top 10.
>>68585147
>GOAT
Lebron isn't even the best player in his career span. Duncan and Kobe are way ahead of him. Won more championships, lost less, and did it having to go through the hardest conference in history for the better part of two decades.
Lebron even if he wins will still be 3-4 playing int he easiest conference in NBA history his whole career and despite that only won two of those rings after poaching two superstars in that weak conference.
>>68585147
Lebron isnt a potential GOAT anymore. Hes a great player but his record in the Finals will always be used against him. He lacks the respect from the fans, the analysts, AND the other players in the league.
>>68585564
Lol what a faggot
He's one of 10 players who have multiple finals mvps and could potentially pull of one of the greatest upsets of all time, becoming one of 5 with 3 finals mvps

>>68586621
Except that when you play so many more games, the ability to maintain a 95% win rate diminishes. You forget that the Warriors went 24-0 to start the season, that they were 36-2 along the way, etc.

Yep. I'm sorry but a super bowl game is always gonna be more impactful than losing some series in a lesser sport over like 7 games. You get one shot, do or die.
>>68586027
As a Pats fan, this is totally correct.
The Pats fucking manhandled half of the regular season, and in the second half pulled off some gutsy wins against teams that went all-out to beat them (that fucking Ravens game). Fucking Philip Rivers played with an ACL tear in the AFCCG and made the game a lot closer than it should have been. It seemed inevitable that the Pats would have beaten the Giants. Hell, they beat them in Week 17, even coming back from a small deficit.
But the Giants came in super hot, beating the 13-3 Cowboys in Dallas and going to Lambeau Field and beating the Packers in the NFCCG with a last second pick of Favre. Plus, their strength was the Pats biggest weakness; the Giants pass rush manhandled the Pats offensive line. Add in a little luck (Samuel not picking off a pass that hit him right in the chest, that fucking Tyree catch, Moss just missing getting the long ball TD at the end), and the Giants did what no one thought could happen.
Nothing in sports can compare to it. In the NFL, you're given 1 shot at winning it all, if you can make it at all. You're not given a chance to come back if you lose a game. Nothing will compare to 18-1, as much as I hate to say it.

>>68588989
I disagree that NFL being one game makes 18-1 worse.
Warriors get three (3) elimination games to work with, 3(three) chances to win it all, and they cant win ANY of them despite having a 90% win record this year.

Letting a team come back from 3-1 is also treated as a complete and utter collapse by the leading team. OKC fans legit want Durant/Westbrook out of the team, and they didn't even have 2 home games to work with.
>>68589281
I'm a Warriors fan and this playoffs have made me not give 2 shits about the NBA anymore. It was rigged as fuck against OKC and it's rigged as fuck in this one. Literally fixed games, and the obviousness of it, even though it's been for my team last series has made me realize the entire league is pretty much bullshit.
I actually did not even watch game 5 or 6. I knew what was going to happen in both of them.
>>68589281
I never said the OKC series was not rigged. Both series had awful officiating siding with the team that needed help.

I don't even care that much desu. This might not even register above the Red Sox stunning the Stankees back in 2004 down 0-3. I'm not invested at all, whereas in 04, at least that was before the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry sort of died because they won one finally after like a billion years.

Literally fixed. After game four, the league didn't review a foul and 'upgrade' it to a flagrant. They literally called a NEW foul on a play where none had been called 2 days later. Never been done before in the history of the game.
How come they didn't 'review' the spurs game and call a new foul 2 days later? Instead of saying 'oh yeah that was a foul but too late now!' like they did.

As a Denver fan, all I see is the record setting, "Best team of all time" had 3 games in a row to win a single game against a serial choker with a shit team to be champions.
That's pretty fucking bad.
In fact, it's SO bad, you either don't understand the scope because you arent a basketball fan, or you're a curry apologist

Probably the biggest upset in recent American sports.
The New England Patriots (which are one the best NFL franchises ever and have an arguable GOAT QB in Tom Brady) did something historic by going undefeated in the 16 game regular season, they then made it to the championship game (the Super Bowl) and lost to the NY Giants (a team led by Eli Manning who is a literal potato).

The NBA will never allow the Golden State Warriors to win Game 7.
The Chicago Bulls had the coveted 72-10 season which was the greatest record in a season.
Golden State is slowly stripping away all of the Bulls titles in one season. There's too much history that won't even be reviewed if GSW wins Game 7.
The NBA will not allow that.

I get that you most likely just started watching basketball, but yes I do get the difference and no common foul was called on the play. We now can have the league 'review' games and call flagrant fouls on any play they feel deserved it. Regardless of if an actual foul was even called at the time.

BRA7IL is definitely be up there on "memes that will be referenced 50 years from now" because of how fucking hilarious that game was. But if you watched Brazil at all that tournament you knew they had it coming. Even their first fucking game against some eastern european country there was some clear refball going on that later carried them to the quarterfinals. It finally broke when they finally faced a legitimate German squad.
18-1 is bigger because the NFL is bigger. But Warriors is a more comprehensive and inexcusable collapse. They are on the verge of blowing a 3-1 lead, something that has never happened in 30 times. After setting the best record of all time, they are about to lose as no team has ever lost before. It's like if the 18-0 Patriots had gone up by 30 points at halftime and then lost the game anyway to get their 18-1. After game 2, NO ONE thought the Cavs had a chance. They were more dead and buried than any team has been since the 2007 Cavs went against the Spurs. At least with 18-1, you knew the Giants had pushed the Patriots hard in their regular season game and almost won. The Warriors had won 7 straight against the Cavs with none of them being close.
