It's Official GS Warriors is the 2017 NBA Champions

The Golden State Warriors bag the 2017 NBA Championship trophy by defeating Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-120 win in Game 5.

The Golden State Warriors were back home for Game 5 of the 2017 NBA Finals at Oracle Arena, where they have eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers and win their second championship in three seasons. The defending champs didn't go down without a fight, and that was evident with how LeBron James and Kyrie Irving played. LeBron James showed why he is the top player in the NBA he scored willfully with 41 points, grabbed 13 boards and dished out eight assists. Kyrie Irving and J.R. Smith combined for 51 points. But they are no match against the fire power of the Warriors Kevin Durant, a first-year Warrior and NBA Finalist for the first time since 2012, punctuated his series MVP effort with 39 points on 14-of-20 shooting. Not to be outdone, his MVP running mate Stephen Curry delivered 34 points and 10 assists.

The NBA now head to an offseason that will be filled with questions for the other 28 teams who by the look of it are just pawns for these two (Golden State and Cleveland) superteams. If you look at the other teams a fourth straight Finals in 2018 between Golden State and Cleveland is very much in play.

Game Over Golden State Warriors Is the NBA Champions

Sorry Lebron James and Cleveland Cavaliers fans this series is over Golden State Warriors will win it all it may not be the next game but being up 3-0 it's a no-brainer. The Golden State Warriors broke the Cavs heart to win Game 3 and effectively ending the 2017 NBA Finals. Durant finished with 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were exceptional too combining for 77 points but wasted the game by losing 118-113.

James said the Warriors has "probably the most, most firepower I've played in my career." The Cavs was still leading by 6 points led the Warriors by six with 3 minutes, 9 seconds left before Golden State closed on an 11-0 run, led by Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. KD now has scored 30-plus in all three games of the Finals. Curry contributed 23 points and 13 rebounds.

Klay Thompson, after starting the series going 3-for-16 in Game 1, shot 11-for-18 on Wednesday en route to 30 points.

"I said it after we won the Eastern Conference finals that we're getting ready for a juggernaut," James said. "It's probably the most, most firepower I've played in my career. I played against some great teams, but I don't think no team has had this type of firepower."

We all know that Cavs last year had a 3-1 comeback and that we should not write off LeBron James and the Cavs but things are different now, the Warriors have Durantula now and what's more scary is Durant and Curry are perfect complements to one another. The Golden State Warriors will wreak havoc in the league for many years to come as long as their team is in tact.

Kevin Durant is Over for the Season due to Injury

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 28 - NBA's Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant will be out for the whole season, he will have a bone graft surgery on his injured right foot. It is expected that he will not be able to play for four to six months according to Oklahoma City Thunder General Manager Sam Presti.

Durant already had surgery back in October and another one on February 23. Durant is averaging 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 27 games in this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is currently on the No. 8 spot in the western conference with a win/loss record of 41-31.

NBA Western Conference finals and Eastern Conference finals are both at 2-2

Celtics beat Heat in OT, tie East finals at 2-2, Rondo had 15 points and 15 assists, and scored the final three points of the Celtics' 93-91 overtime victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday night that evened the Eastern Conference finals at two games apiece.

Getting a huge break when LeBron James fouled out for the first time since joined the Heat, the Celtics recovered after blowing an 18-point lead in regulation and moved two games away from a third trip to the NBA finals in five years.

Garnett added 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Celtics, while Paul Pierce scored 23 points before fouling out. Ray Allen finished with 16 points.

James had 29 points and Wade scored 20 after another dismal start for the Heat, who host Game 5 on Tuesday.

In the West, Game 5 is Monday night in San Antonio. Oklahoma City needs at least one road win to advance, and Thunder coach Scott Brooks said Sunday there's no time like the present.

Since James Harden joined Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in 2009, the Thunder had been 2-8 against San Antonio heading into this series. Now they return to Texas with a chance to hand the Spurs three straight losses for the first time all season.

Spurs players didn't meet with reporters Sunday. Coach Gregg Popovich, back at Spurs headquarters trying to solve his team's first skid since April 9-11, said their attitude hasn't changed from when they were winning 20 straight games.

Also not likely to change much are the defensive looks the Spurs threw at the Thunder in a 109-103 loss on Saturday. That's because, as far as Popovich is concerned, there is little to plan for when three typically unheralded offensive players shoot a combined 22 of 25 for 49 points.

That's what Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison did in Game 4, giving the Thunder a rare dose of balance on a team that leaned on its Big Three for nearly 70 percent of its scoring before this series. Ibaka was especially unstoppable, going 11 for 11 and finishing just one basket shy of the most perfect-shooting playoff game in NBA history.

NBA West and East Finals are Set!

The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder have simply rolled through this postseason. There's the 18-game winning streak that has the Spurs flirting with history. Seventeen combined playoff games and just one loss. The Thunder sending home the last two NBA champions, and no other playoff teams besides these two that can boast a series sweep.

The matchup of Russell Westbrook vs Tony Parker is very interesting.

Heat-Celtics in East finals

It's a rematch: Miami and Boston will meet in the playoffs again, this time with a spot in the NBA finals at stake.

Boston's 85-75 win in Game 7 over Philadelphia on Saturday night earned the Celtics a trip to Miami, where the reigning East champion Heat will host Game 1 of this year's conference title series Monday night.

Boston took the regular-season series from Miami 3-1, though the last of those meetings was in the final game of the season and came on a night where LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all sat out for Miami, while Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen got the evening off for Boston.

The lineups will look more normal Monday, though Bosh will remain sidelined because of a strained lower abdominal muscle.

It'll be a quick turnaround for Boston, with Game 1 in Miami starting about 46 hours after Game 7 against the 76ers ended. The Heat finished off their East semifinal series against Indiana on Thursday night, took Friday off and held a light practice Saturday - focusing on themselves and not starting to work in details either the Celtics or the 76ers.

New Big 3 vs Old Big 3 + Rondo

Durant ‘about 50-50’ on playing overseas

TULSA, Okla. (AP)—Kevin Durant says he is “about 50-50” on playing overseas if the NBA lockout lasts.

The league scoring champion from the Oklahoma City Thunder hopes the work stoppage is settled in time for a full season, but says he’ll “have to think about” playing elsewhere if that doesn’t happen.

Durant says he has been working on his game during his time off, but took a break from that to attend the WNBA game between Tulsa and Chicago on Thursday night. Speaking at halftime, he called himself a “basketball fanatic” who enjoys watching the women’s game.

NBA All-Stars Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose made $400,000 apiece for an exhibition game in the Philippines over the weekend. The players agreed to play an exhibition against a collection of stars of the Philippines Basketball Association. The group also included Chris Paul, James Harden, second overall pick Derrick Williams, JaVale McGee, and Tyreke Evans

Kobe Bryant all start in Manila!

Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, JaVale McGee, Derrick Williams, Chris Paul, Tyreke Evans and James Harden all in one team? you must be kidding me!
