Warriors wouldn't have beaten a healthy Cavs team in the Finals. Irving went down, Love and Anderson V. out, LBJ was on a mission and almost pulled it off but got gassed. Cavs should be the favorites to win the East this season if they can stay healthy. The Warriors also didn't have to play the Spurs, Thunder or Clippers. Yes lots of things worked in the Warriors favor for sure.
Suns with a prime Nash are probably one of the better teams to not win it all in recent memory.

Honestly, Diaw is a starter quality player. He's very underrated.

Yeah classic stuff.
I also remember he seemed to have a major beef with Larry Johnson. People's opinions vary on Walton, but I truly miss the weird flavor he brought to broadcasts

He called LJ a sad pathetic individual after Duncan raped him in Game 1 of the Finals. Then LJ started talking shit back about how Walton's family was slaveowners or some shit. It was a really weird exchange.

The Warriors were losing by 20 in a playoff game to the Pels. It wasn't a comeback more than a choke job, tbh. The Warriors went down 2-1 to a depleted Grizzlies. The Rockets were utter crap as far as conference finals opponents go. And yea, I could see a healthy Cavs team winning that series. I don't see lightning striking twice.

Well, LJ started the narrative calling the 99 Knicks "a bunch of rebellious slaves." And LJ has said very racist things since then, calling for an all-black league from his position as VP for the Knicks. Give props to Walton for taking out the trash when he then said this:
"Larry Johnson, who spent the last 48 hours railing against the world, what a pathetic performance by this sad human being. This is a disgrace to the game of basketball and to the NBA. He played like a disgrace tonight, he deserved it."
