Low key...I think Cleveland can beat the Warriors in the finals....They have more defensive length than they did last season(Hill,Green,Nance),and more players capable of scoring 10-15 pts(Clarkson,Hood,Hill,Green,Korver,Smith.Love.Lebron)....Clarkson,Hood,and Nance need to get their shyt together.
No they can't. That Pelicans series showed you exactly how it'd go. AD dropped 34 and 18 with a very efficient 27 from Jrue Holiday and they still lost by almost double figures. That's pretty much how it's going to go for the Cavs in the finals unless LeBron averages like 45+ a game. And it's an extreme longshot Kevin Love will even do what Jrue holiday was able to do. Clarkson, Hood, and Nance have never been in the playoffs let alone a series of that magnitude. The chances of them magically playing better than what they have been is slim to none.

He lost in Round 1 to a rookie, that tells you everything you need to know about all the "help" KD had.

The 2017 Finals it was three superstars versus three superstars (LeBron, Kyrie + Love vs. KD, Steph + Klay) and we saw who came out on top.

Um....You forgot about D,Green and the GS bench......Cleveland's bench was sweaty asscheeks.

Durant can drop buckets at a crazy efficient rate, but he if doesn't have a High IQ guard/system to keep the ball moving, his teams crumble. Durant will still light you up mind you, but nobody wins games by themselves.

Playing with the Dubs was the first time Durant played in a system where the whole point of the offense is using deep buckets to create spacing (not drive and dish like Bron uses). That's why the Warriors are nigh unbeatable in 7 with Durant. He creates offense by doing what he's does better than anyone else in the League (including Curry).

*the Warriors however are more efficient WITH Curry leading tho because he's more of a passer than Durant. Durant is there to KILL on offense and alter shots on D. That's all that's asked of him.

Lebron does one thing definitively better than KD which makes this statement true. Lebron is a great passer/facilitator, KD isn't. KD would get you the buckers but in doing so he would stagnate the rest of the offense of the team. Lebron has never played with an elite PG and Wade while still good was injured at key points.

And that Kevin’s productions is ass in the finals he might as well come off the bench with those performances he had, as well as that fact that steph is a little better than Kyrie in a scoring sense and way better impact wise.

KD ain't a leader. The min that pacers series got tight and Love(who didn't even show up till the Raptors series) is the next best option he's folding like an envelope. He doesn't make his teammates better or get them good shots if they aren't already threats. Yall trying to make a great scorer into a great leader. He showed yall he don't want smoke by naming himself the Servant and going to be a main cog in someone else's system.

Not out of the realm of possibility. KD isn't as ball dominant. Might benefit some players on that team to not be subjected to Bron Ball :manny:

KD's game is probably better for Love. Kyrie probably never would have left too.

Funny cause Kyrie still probably fits better with Lebron. :yeshrug:
