nikka, look at his career
He has never had to play with injury and when he has, he hasn't played well.
Oh and my PG plays through pain
Last 53 games Cavs/Warriors both exactly 44-9

your non-all nba PG missed missed three playoff games...with pain.
don't be mad alonzo gee, luke walton and samardo ain't out there no more. It was all fun and games 'til Bron Bron came home.
Enjoy watching them bigs get old, no FA coming and Wall athleticism decline, leaving him to resemble a rich man's Keyon Dooling.

People talked about pace in the Warriors/Grizz series. I think it will be much more important in this one. However, the Warriors CAN play slow and the Cavs CAN play fast.
Will be interesting if they play
Mozgov
Bron
Jr
Shump
Kyrie
I have a feeling Draymond will find a way to neutralize Thompson. Boxing him out and getting outlets for open 3s, lay ups, dunks
The Cavs will wanna play Mozgov, make it a half court game and try their best to swarm the splash bros and force them out as far as possible, like the Grizz did. Than hopefully on the other end Lebron finds ways to pick apart their D. It'll be tough but I can't wait.
I hope the Hawks and Rockets win a couple more games but I want the Cavs-Warriors finals really bad

Not only are they deeper, but -
But GSW is a deeper team and they are more healthy. They also move the ball better than those OKC teams.
EDIT - I posted the wrong season
Why are we even comparing these two teams or their situations.

Warriors are better this year imo.
the harden, Westbrook, Durant,Ibaka foursome was more talented but it's a team game

I took the liberty of crossing out Love, teams are fairly even if Kyrie is there, if not they're dead meat.
Too bad for the Cavs they don't have Love, this shyt may not even have been close with him.

If love was playing I'd take Cavs but in 7.. it'd be an all time series. Reminiscent of the 7 game Pistons/Spurs of '05
Cavs win with Love in 6, they could still win now but the odds aren't in their favor, would take the same defense + Kyrie and LeBron combining for around 48-51 a game.

Wall is 24, declining athleticism where?
The Kang is gonna lose all his athleticism soon and look more
The Wiz will get Kevin Wes Unseld Love
i think the difference will be the cavs defense... shump, lebron, smith can really guard... i think curry and thompson will shrink.

Kyrie is gonna have to ball out for the Cavs to have any hope. Else they'll have no chance if they're dependent on Bron soaking up all the possessions with his scoring efficiency at an all-time low.

Healthy Love and Kyrie and I think this is over in 5 for the Cavs but without Love it's a bit dicey. Toss up for me especially if Kyrie is the least bit healthy.

I don't know. I think you are underestimating the Warriors.
Neither team (outside of Bron) has experience this deep in the playoffs..
Did you know that Cavs line up of Mozgov, Love, Bron, Smith and Kyrie has outscored opponents by 20.5 points per 100 possessions.
That's the 2nd best in the last 15 seasons (since the stat has been tracked, for a line up with at least 500 min. That Cavs line up has 528 min)
The spurs '05 line up of Rasho, Duncan, Bowen, Manu and Parker is the best at +21.6 pp100p.
They played 588 minutes together
BUT for 5 man units with at least 1000 minutes ever (better sample size)
This year's warriors starting line up is the best EVER (well last 15 years but u get it)
They outscore opponents by 18.4 points per 100.
Played 1006 minutes, and that includes the grizzlies and Rockets series. So id say that 18.4 is just as impressive if not more so than the Cavs.
I bring this up because in a highly contested series like this, all that matter is how good your best 5 guys are when they are on the floor together.
Also the warriors can throw a bunch of diff defenders at Bron, they not gonna needlessly double or give up open 3s like the Hawks.
Just overall the Warriors match up well to the Cavs.
So it'd be a great series.

That's basically my Curry>Bron argument
