If not for Clevlands injuries in 2015 and Houston's injuries last year there's a very good chance the warriors are only sitting on the one chip they won in 2017. I know ifs are hypothetical and we'll never really know for sure but no one can deny that they've been extremely lucky with injuries.

Most rigged series in the history of professional sports disagrees

Never met a person in real life that watches basketball who counts the Cavs 2016 title as legit, just NBA shills and online trolls

Most rigged series was the one a week earlier vs Thunder little guy :oldlol:

GSW shouldn't even had been to the Finals, Silver catering to Dray's antics all series despite public outcry and a highlight real of off ball flagarants. It single handily made KD entertain free agency and extend Warriors window that would have closed.

The Warriors are in the Western Conference. Lucky.
The Warriors have a 67-win season. Lucky.
The Warriors set the all-time regular season wins record with 73 wins. Lucky.
The Warriors have another 67-win season. Lucky.
The Warriors set the playoffs wins record going 16-1. Lucky.

Yeah that was all luck.

The 2007 Phoenix Suns ring is more legitimate than the Warriors 2015 ring. We big dick alphas know this.

The Showtime Lakers were the luckiest dynasty.

For an entire decade they had almost no real competition in their conference. The west in the 80's was utter garbage aside from a very brief blip from the Rockets.

Their 2 principal competitors, the Celtics and Rockets, fell off after '86 (Celtics to injuries and Bias' death, Rockets mostly to drugs).

3 of the teams they beat in the finals ('85 Celtics, '87 Celtics, '88 Pistons) were compromised by injuries (especially '87 Celtics).

And they had David Stern on their side to boot. :dancin

You cant top that.

It sound kind of like the Warriors situation but Warriors still have the more luck with injuries happening to Kyrie/Love and Kawhi and Chris Paul.

Ray Allen hitting a big shot has nothing to do with good or bad luck. Big shots or bad bounces happen all the time. How often has a team thats won multiple chips had the luxury of playing teams that are missing one or two key all star players almost every year they won?

I'm not saying the warriors arnt great. They've just been very fortunate with opposing teams having key players injured and there's a very good chance there only sitting on one chip if not for this fact.

this injury, after which he scored 40 points in the comeback game and later hung 3 straight 30+ pt games on OKC to close them out while doing 360 dunks in warm-up is definitely comparable to Irving, Leonard, Paul missing entire series' or series ends

You cant top that.

What about 1984? If Henderson doesn't steal the ball, we are probably looking at a Laker sweep. And, in 87, if Isiah takes his time in Game 5 against Boston, LA is playing the Pistons that year.

I will give you the Rockets thing, though. That team matched up extremely well with LA. They should have won more. They are one of the biggest "what if" teams in NBA history.

Also, they got breaks from the Utah Jazz twice:

1. In 1976, the then New Orleans Jazz signed an old Gail Goodrich from the Lakers. Back then, FA required compensation, so the Jazz sent several #1 picks to the Lakers in return. One of those #1's: The 1979 pick that turned into Magic Johnson.

2. In 1984, if the Jazz would have scored three more points in their season finale against the Clips, Philly would have been in the last super flip with Portland instead of Houston. The reason: the Clippers would have had the worst record in the West instead of Houston, and the Sixers had that pick due to a 1978 trade with the Clippers involving World B. Free. As I understand it, MJ was Philly-bound no matter what, leaving Akeem for the Blazers.

In addition, if Allan Houston doesn't make the buzzer-beater in round 1 of the 99 playoffs against Miami, Jeff Van Gundy is fired, and Phil Jackson takes his place with the Knicks. That means no Fluker three-peat.

They drafted Curry, Klay, Green without any top 5 picks. Built their system while developing their stars, now they all obey Kerr's directions, there are no ego war.

If you do the right moves, fortune would follow you. People would call it 'luck', but it would be success.
