Regardless what you think about Bron, Nike marketing department is GOAT status 
Its not poor marketing when it works...
I hear what you're saying....we're talking about it, but will an ad like that increase revenue? Doubtful...

Breh you're seriously underrating the importance of depth. More depth = more rest for LeBron. More rest for LeBron means they really couldnt stop him.
The Cavs had the highest offensive rating to end the season. They also proved back in February that they could win a shootout with the Warriors.
Love and Kyrie would have provided a versatility to play a different kind of way. Playing just slow down was their only option and it led to a slow death.
Kevin Love wasnt going to speed up the pace to anything. Maybe if LeBron found him for wide open 3's in transition. However, acting like Kyrie who outplayed Steph in game 1 wouldnt have provided enough of a punch to beat the Warriors...
Also, Delly was taking a lot of stupid shots that led to transition points for the Warriors. I'd take my chances with Kyrie in that regard.
Sidenote: Yea that add is lame

I’m here for the scraps
Trust me I see how big a deal depth is. Was not aware they had a rating that high, with with love and Irving historically being poor defenders, I liked the Warriors chances. Last I heard when love was the defender in the paint teams were shooting 60% when challenging him. Would have helped James a lot to be able to get some scoring though. I can't say I'd put much into the regular season though. Boston and Chicago went 6-1 in the regular season against Miami in 2010-11 and they each lost in 5. Yeah the ad is really lame.Breh you're seriously underrating the importance of depth. More depth = more rest for LeBron. More rest for LeBron means they really couldnt stop him.

Lebron makes money for Nike...you think this shyt personal....
With Kyrie and Love healthy, Blatt would have a lot more to work with. He was very limited on the adjustments he could make due to the lack of personnel. Kerr played 12 players in the finals testing different line ups and making a lot of adjustments to find the line up that could beat the cavs 7 man rotation. It took him till game 4 to figure it out. The Cavs didn't have that luxury and it could be argued with Kyrie and Love the Cavs would have won the series in 5 due to Blatt throwing many different line ups at Kerr forcing him to adjust as he did in the first 3 games. Cavs lack of players and versatility did them in.

Yea I dont like using regular season as much of a gauge either. But that was the only time we saw them both play while healthy.
Kyrie isnt a good defender when chasing guys off screens. So he may have struggled with Steph with that. But on the ball he's one of the better defenders (surprisingly)
Also gotta factor in Klay Thompson struggling vs. Shump this series. If Klay proved to dominate that matchup then I'd side with the Warriors. But seeing how meh he was...
I'd also worry about Draymond Green going off on Kevin Love. However, the Cavs showed plenty of times they'd sit Love in the 4th. However, when the Warriors go small you could have put Love on Harrison Barnes since he just camps out at the 3 point line.
Them dudes still dont have championship experience. So I'm not saying its a lock the Cavs would have won. Just saying if Kyrie kept balling like he did in game 1. Cavs in 6 or 7 imo
As I've told you before. Just based on championship experience. LeBron/Wade and the Heat would have beat the Warriors. He just needed guys familiar with making winning plays in the 4th and can lock up guys when needed.
The more I think about it the Heat just ran into a freight train last year in the Spurs. Otherwise, they had everything to be champions (just by Wade being on the floor)
