Cleveland has a really strong team and they gave away game 5 at home with Green getting suspended.

Were they overrated? Overrated questions are silly.

They weren't the most dominant team of all time because they struggled against OKC and lost to Clev. Since they went 73-9 and didn't win the title, and struggled in two rounds of the playoffs, it seems they aren't 73-9 good.

Somewhat, but I think the bigger headline being buried here is that, as it happens with all great teams, the league is starting to figure them out. I'm willing to put money down that the Warriors won't be as successful next season as they were in their first year under Kerr, let alone this year.

This is a superstar Driven League.. Lebron and Irving performed..   Curry did not.. He was small in the OKC series (though he managed enough moments to gut out the win) But in the Cleveland Series he never came to the party..
Watching him Get flustered, and Mope around when his shot wasnt falling shows me he is not Mentally tough..
So many careless turnovers down the Stretch.. Really bad shot selection (even for him) and the silly fouls (mainly due to his Defense being way below average)

The warriors are a good/elite team but Like all Elite Teams, your Elite guys have to step up... Curry did not. 
IF Lebron had put the cape on in Games 1 and 2 (when Both Curry and Klaye were average) this could have been a sweep or At least over in 5

Not overrated. The 2015-16 Warriors team will still go down as an all time great. You don't win 73-9 without being ridiculously good. The Warriors were good enough to win a championship. If Lebron doesn't make that superhuman block against Iggy and if Kyrie had missed that long 3 vs Curry, it's a different narrative.

Is your grammar bad?

"Is the warriors" is correct. "Warriors" is a collective noun, and you use the singular with collective nouns.

This.

The names of sports teams are treated as plurals per The AP Stylebook.

The Celtics are going to win the NBA championship next season.
The Red Sox are going to win the MLB championship this season.
The Bruins are going to win the NHL championship next season.
The Patriots are going to win the NFL championship next season.
