You know as someone who tries to claim to be some objective observer you really look silly at times. You have zero evidence that the Warriors minus Durant will beat a healthy LeBron led Cavs team..
:dwillhuh:

Where do I start with this bullshyt.

I. You can't just take Durant off the team, you have to replace with him a competent starting wing - which is what I said. Of course, if you just take him off and don't replace him the Warriors would lose.
II. What the fukk do you mean a "healthy LeBron-led team"? As if LeBron hasn't been healthy for the last three Finals'.
III. How can you accuse me of having zero evidence they'd win, when going by that same logic you don't either?
IV. I have the evidence that last year's Finals was decided by 4 points. That's all that separated the teams, and that was with the Warriors suffering multiple injuries + a suspension. When both squads had their full rotations the Warriors went up 3-1 - proving to be the better squad when healthy.
You beat LeBron and Kyrie by a few points in game 1 of the 2015 NBA Finals and it took 6 games to close out LeBron and Delly (A career 6PPG player who bothered Curry)..
:dwillhuh:

Surely you aren't this stupid?
Yeah you blew a 3-1 lead last year and you can deflect all you want, but the on the court mental midget moments of Draymond counts as a weakness your squad has.
:dwillhuh:

Draymond was the second most important player for the Warriors in the '15 Finals
Draymond was the Warriors best player in the '16 Finals

Draymond's been nullified in this series because of how he's been officiated. Whether that is intentional or not, I don't know. But it's certainly affecting his game and the series.

He can no longer claim to be unbiased whatsoever, he's fully on board with the Warriors and it's obvious. :mjlol:
.
You sure are dimwitted sometimes. Just because I claim to be unbiased, doesn't mean I'm not aggressive with my approach. Smarten up.

You best believe if there was no Durant, and the Warriors had another starting wing (a competent one) in his place this series would be officiated differently. For starters Draymond would be allowed to be more physical on defense, rather than picking up fouls for just breathing on players.

Cavs in 6

GSW has the clear better overall roster, but Love has been a beast 3 out of 4 games and J.R has been nice. Shump showed up one game. Basically the same roster except Love and J.R have added more. If those 2 guys played like this last series, it wouldn't have had to go to 7.

Of course the Warriors "Could" beat the Cavs w/o KD. They beat them 3 times last year w/o KD. The Warriors still had the better team (Better bench/role players, and better coach). The Cavs could beat them as well, we would have had to let it play out and see. That series could swing all the way from Warriors in 5 games to Cavs winning in 6 games. Warriors would be the favorites.

This is the rule
1. Bron has to come into the game blank slate (like in 2016 before he started figuring out the warriors/suspensions/injury and 2017 as each game got closer until a win, even though it might be too late)

Does the 2017 cavs have enough talent to compete before bron looks in depth on the film and the plays that work vs don't work or will he need the adjustment time?

i say cavs in 6 without KD

kevin love is much more comfortable this year in the offense and is a factor.

also the warriors defense wouldnt be quite as strong without KDs length

Warriors get rolled without KD, that's not even a question.
