Cavs vs. Warriors -- 2017 NBA Finals

[RichieRichPaul]

Im not going to get cocky w durant out

They are still a very dangerous team w 3 all stars

The same team almost beat us last year

Plus i never wanna cheer another team's injuries

Cavs need to stay focused and not overconfident

Sucks they have to learn about this injury on 3-1 though... lol

Happy Golden State Lead Day

I would say that we did not play the same team last year. H. Barnes could score for them some and Bogut had a great rhythm with Draymond in protecting the paint. They lack the depth. A team like SA or OKC could possibly handle what they are now. Just my opinion...

That all depends on how they show up, their margin of error will be slim.

I'm not sure why everyone is overlooking Houston here, they made a good trade and play good basketball and Harden is a load. If they get it going, why not?

A team like the Rockets is prey for the Spurs in the postseason.

would love nothing more than to see the Warriors slide to the 2 seed in West, have to face the Rockets prior to WCF, and then San Antonio in the WCF Finals with Spurs having home court.

I have a feeling Popovich will hit the gas a little bit to see if he can't steal home seeding throughout the playoffs. Typically he wouldn't care, but with Durant's injury, and the Spurs having some younger depth when needed, I think he gets a bit more aggressive down the stretch.

I have a feeling the Spurs are going to disappoint in the post season. Their bench is their major strength, they barely get separation with their starters.
They go out of deficits or build leads with their bench and in the playoffs both their starters and the opposing teams starters are going to play more minutes.
I feel it's going to end like last season.

If we're healthy I don't care at this point who we face in the finals.

I would laugh if the warriors didn't even make it to the finals.

So I was thinking...if both the Cavs and the Warriors meet up in the finals, then we kinda have a reversing of positions from last year:

Last year we had the most talented "starters", but they had the "Strength in Numbers". And we won!!!

Now this year (assuming KD is back in time for the finals) they have the most talented starters and we have the strength in numbers.

Thus I am wondering if we are at a disadvantage. I know that in the playoffs the rotations are drastically reduced, and so I worry that all of our depth will not have as big of an effect as we all hope.

I don't know, when he limped off, 'out for the rest of the season' didn't seem like a best-case scenario. Some hard spinning here.

When people say Curry is a way better defender than Kyrie...

Ball handler should have engaged him to prevent the switch from happening. You get close to that 3 pt line, and no one is switch off of you.

They are infinitely less dangerous IMO. Slide Igoudala into the starting lineup and they cant space the floor as well, you loose what little depth you have on the bench, and their death lineup is officially gone.
