How different would this have gone if JR Smith was a little less high and knew what the score was at the end of that game? Obviously they would not have gotten swept, but would they have rallied and won a few home games? Totally different scene, going back to California 2-2

Agree with fans of other teams not digging the Warriors domination, so some hate comes their way. Part of the deal when you're on top.
If JR Smith had taken a shot or got it to LeBron, they could have easily won that game. If George Hill had made the second free throw, they also would have likely won. But they would have had to make either shot. Not so sure that would have sparked them to win other games- they were pretty much outclassed, although they put up a good fight at times. If they had come to Oakland 2-2, I think they would have left 2-4. As said before, too much talent for basically LeBron to overcome.
LeBron is basically unstoppable, and IMO the best player in the NBA. He carried his team all the way to the finals. No one player on the Warriors could have done that. They almost lost to the Rockets, which was really the championship this year.
Although apples and oranges, the debate is lively on LeBron vs Michael Jordan for best player ever. Kevin Durant is unstoppable in his taller than anyone ability to score at any time. Curry is the most fun to watch, and a lot more likable than LeBron or Durant.
I think the Warriors will be in the championship mix for years to come. Their oldest superstar is only 30 years old. They have more talent than anyone right now, and it's not store bought except for Durant. If LeBron winds up somewhere with Chris Paul, then that team could contend. Houston could well have gotten past the Warriors if Chris Paul hadn't got injured.
