Agreed--that was probably not the headline the writer wanted to apply to that article.  Instead, it becomes click bait.

Re: how good the Warriors are:  I kid you not, last week I listened to ESPN radio, and the entire commute was spent rationalizing how / why the Cavaliers were going to win it all.  Lebron is focused, he's got a chip on his shoulder after last year,  he's the best player in the NBA and is ready to take it to Steph Curry, he didn't have healthy Love / Irving last year.  And on and on and on.

I get that ESPN is often more about the story than reporting sports news, but enough is enough.  Lebron led teams have gotten absolutely shellacked the last two trips to the finals, and they are on their way to a third straight decimation.  Instead of devoting any time, effort, focus, attention, or credit to the GSW, the narrative was all-Lebron pre-Finals.

That's changed now.  And I posted that story because in addition to the funny / ironic headline, it illustrates that this Cavs team is far from hapless.  They are actually pretty darn good, they just aren't good enough to beat the top teams in the west in playoff series.  That ESPN nonsense was all wishful thinking.
