So far?

Game 1 score: 104-89
Game 2 score: 110-77

Largest cumulative margin of victory (48 points) through 2 games in NBA Finals' history.

Notable "star" performers:

LBJ: 21/9/10/42%/6 TOs
Kyrie: 18/3/2.5/33%/3 TOs :roll:
Love: 11/8/1/37%/3 TOs :roll:
Steph: 14.5/5/7/42%/5 TOs :roll:
Klay: 13/3.5/3.5/40%/2 TOs :roll:

It's just embarrassing and disappointing.

Cavs looked as bad in their first 2 road games against the Raptors.
The series won't end 4-0.

I hope not. As a Warriors fan, of course I'm happy with the results of the first 2 games. But as a basketball fan, it's been terrible. I hope Cleveland can make things more interesting on their home court.

The NBA is like WWE

Ratings dipped a bit last game, and the truth is, the NBA is a business built on entertainment (thus, why the game is played like it is now).

There will be at least a game 5, if not game 6.

2007 (Spurs-Cavs) was pretty horrible.

2002 (Lakers-Nets) was pretty bad too, although I liked game 3.

1989 (Pistons-Lakers) was one the biggest letdowns ever. It had the makings of a classic rematch.

Spurs-Nets 2003 finals was probably one of worst also. Nets were one of the worst Finals teams ever, I don't think they had a single player that was anywhere close to 20ppg career average.

Yeah, '03 Nets & '07 Cavs take the cake.

Pistons vs Spurs 05?

The first four games were blow outs.

84-69 Spurs win
97-76 Spurs win
96-79 Pistons win
102-71 Pistons win

FG% was pretty low. Duncan and Manu were good tho.

Funny how the 2003 Nets were one of the worst Finals teams ever, but they weren't so bad the year before with one year and a playoff run LESS experience.

Worst Finals I've seen:

2002 Nets vs Lakers
2003 Nets vs Spurs
2005 Pistons vs Spurs
2007 Cavs vs Spurs
2014 Heat vs Spurs

So far you could throw Cavs vs Warriors part 2 in there. Also, notice a common denominator?!

Every few down years like opportunistic vultures, sure. And in completely boring fashion.

Not even close to being as dominant as a dynasty or hell, at least a back to back champion such as

Bad Boy Pistons
Kobe's Lakers
LeBron and Wade's Heat

I'm pretty sure that Duncan is happier with his 5 rings than Isaiah's and Lebron's 2. Maybe we could ask Lebron which he'd prefer.

I'm sure he is ... Defending a championship is more difficult than winning one every few years. I'm sure Duncan can attest to this as well.

Winning 4 titles in 9 seasons is more impressive than winning back to back

the 2013 Finals were following the same trajectory, and everyone loved that series.. blow out after blow out for much of the beginning, as teams trade swinging punches. I expect this up coming game to be close though, warriors should play much better, and the Cavs will still be fighting hard as hell.

Despite its ugliness, I wouldn't put 2005 on there, based on it going 7 and having the classic game 5 (the Robert Horry game). That was one of the best Finals games on the decade. At least there was suspense, while the 2007 Finals was over before it began.

I remember being amazed by Lebron in game 5 of the Detroit series, and thinking "Cleveland can wrap it up in 6 and then get dominated by the Spurs".
