I still think the series was influenced by the league partially, but damn that franchise is horrible top to bottom. Low IQ throughout all the mainstays from the Brooks era, especially on defense and in clutch situations, a fukkin stench that won't leave until Durant or Westbrook (or possibly both) are long gone. Donovan just got completely shook once GSW started hitting shots as well. nikka wasn't even outcoached per se, GSW just decided to throw Iguodala in more, and apparently that was enough to make Donovan say hey, the one advantage we had, the "massive" lineup, we should stop doing that shyt just because.
Terrible terrible ball
