Looking to top last year's magical run, introducing your defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers!
Your Coach: The only coach in the NBA to have won a championship in every season he has been head coach. Give it up for Ty Lue!
At PG: A man that needs no introduction. The owner of the single most history altering shot in the history of the NBA: give it up for Kyrie!
At SG: one of the keys to bringing this back to Cleveland: JR Smith
At SF: Forever the gatekeeper to Durant's nonexistent title. The greatest basketball player of all time. Give it up for LeBron James!
At PF: The leading rebounder in the 2017 NBA playoffs (by quite a margin). The man with the 2nd most 3 point FGs in the playoffs only behind stick boy #1 (50 3's in 17 games). A man who they said would get run off the floor against the Warriors. The guy who the opponent openly called soft. Give it up for the Draymond destroyer himself: Kevin Love!
Also refer to the expert for a look at just how good Love's defense has been in the Finals:

Also refer to the expert for a look at just how good Love's defense has been in the Finals:
They've been attacking Love and he's risen to the challenge.
He's contesting 16.8 shot per game so they're targeting him (he's also been the last line of defense and winds up contesting easy layups and dunks at the rim after other players get blown by).
Overall DFG%: 47.8%, -1.9% compared to what opponents usually shoot.
Three pointers: 35.3%, -3%
Two pointers: 52%, -3.8%
<6ft: 62.4, -4.4%
>15 ft: 32%, -9.2%
Last night's game was the first one in which the Warriors scored well against him as they were 9/15 against him although that number is inflated because of the easy layups and dunks he contested. Here were his numbers before last night:
Overall DFG%: 44.2%, -6.2%
Three pointers: 33.3%, -5%
Two pointers: 47.5%, -8.5%
<6ft: 56.5%, -10.1%
>15 ft: 23.5%, -18.8%
He has been very good defensively.

The Contenders for 6th Man of the Year:
Also starring
Kay Felder
Champ
(D-Will)^2
Dahnte Jones
Featuring the back to back to back regular season paper weight champs
Streak: Lost 1 straight to the actual champs
Streak: Lost 1 straight game 5 at home in the NBA Finals
At the most meaningless position in all of sports. A job that even Mike Brown can't mess up. a job that an actual octopus could probably do at around the same level: Give it up for head coach Steve Kerr!
Starting at PG: Front runner tough guy of the century. Never count this guy out for showboating before the end of a game/series to hurt his team. Give it up for twig boy #1
At SG: Richard Jefferson's biological son: Klay Thompson
At SF: the most pathetic excuse for a competitor in NBA history. Doesn't even deserve an introduction.
At PF: the game's dirtiest player. A complete non factor in the NBA Finals due to the same guy he called soft. A real piece of shit, let's hear it for Draymond!
At center: Who cares we run them off the floor after a few minutes anyway
Bench
The guy that's allowed to endlessly hack at LeBron to make it more even
The tall guy that posts up a lot who can also dribble
The only player who might be as much of a front runner as Durant
The tall idiot who literally couldn't guard James Jones on the switch
The rest of them fucking blow
Friendly Reminder
This article was written exactly a year ago to date. I printed it out and keep it at my desk at work and at home for whenever I think I can't do something or something is too big. Most of us got pretty down after game 3, but we have been here before where everyone said it was just a matter of when we lose not if. Let's go out there and let's punch em in the fucking mouth. We won every single quarter of game 4. Kyrie is kicking it into elite gear. Love is playing out of his mind, and the bench finally contributed.
We will rally around LeBron James, and we will play good basketball.
Bring us back home boys and LETS GO CAVS
