Oops. Yeah, forgot about '96.

But still. Their (winningest teams') record in the finals suggest that momentum and timing play a greater role than does talent level, which, along with better luck than worse over the course of a season, largely account for those record seasons. I'd rather be on a playoff-caliber team gelling at just the right time, than a machine that steam rolled their way into the playoffs on cruise control.

Then there was the Patriots perfect season which was derailed by the flukiest catch in NFL history. If David Tyree (who?!?) didn't have super glue on his hands and his helmet then the Pats would have won.

Just watched it again... Add to that that Manning might have been called for in the grasp if it were a regular season game resulting in a sack. All in all it was a play that could never be repeated.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

GSW in 7.

It was a great run by the Raptors. A franchise high water mark, both in terms of the regular season and how well they did in the play-offs.

In the end the Cavs had the better of them. That was clear. With Lebron, Love and Irving all going full bore, they are a VERY hard team to beat.

To be honest the Hot/Cold play of Lowry and Derozan was frustrating. Totally on one game and almost completely switched off the next. It's unexplainable. Had both of them been "ON" more in the first two series, maybe those series don't go to 7-games and the cumulative fatigue settle in. Perhaps they are then pushing the Cavs to a 7th game, and right to the edge?

As it was, as noted to come within 2 wins of the finals is pretty amazing. I hope whatever changes take place over the summer, that they are able to have a contender back on the court for the 2016/17 season.
