Draymond leads Golden State to a 4-1 win. Giving LeBron one win out of respect

Goes without saying this series has a huge asterisk next to it for Golden State going Tonya Harding on Kawhi

GS in 4 if it's called proper, it won't be, GS in 6.

If Green isn't suspended last year, do ya think GS loses?

Don't you believe they are better with KD?

I think Green suspension has been overblown. Still had the chance to win in 7 on their home floor with him. They may not have won the first one if Kyrie and Love suit up.

These are not the Spurs of old and they have only beaten a quality team once that wasn't beset by injuries in 3 years.

They are better with Durant but I still think the lack of shot blocking will be an issue.

This last loss to Boston humiliated LeBron...he will come out with renewed focus. Cavs in 6.

I have little doubt LeBron is gonna go scorch earth from here out. I can't even imagine how much he hates the warriors too.

Game 1 is almost a week away. What bullshit, as if the rest of the playoffs thus far haven't induced enough sleep.

I noticed that last weekend that they have the final pushed back so far. What is up with that?

Worse playoffs that I have ever seen. Media will try and spin it by making it about historic playoff runs of both teams but the truth is that the quality of opposition in both conf sucked.

Spurs I believe would have given G.S a series probably lose in 6 with a healthy Leonard. There was nothing compelling about this yrs playoffs.

He disappears at times. If Kyrie brings it then they might have a chance. I know KD is motivated to supplant LBJ, and he's got Curry, Thompson, and Green backing him.

I will be interested in seeing the matchups particularly Cleveland's. I want to see if LeBron takes Durant out the gate. Last time he didn't. He checked Kendrick Perkins. He has to guard Durant this time. He is the only guy on their team capable of slowing him down. I
love Shump as a defender but he doesn't play enough and he is too small.

Cleveland has to put Irving on Curry again. Don't know if they will. If Curry gets his then he gets his but if they place Irving on Thompson it opens up the possibility of Thompson going off. Like Durant on Shump he can just raise up on him.

Curry won't check Irving and I don't think Durant checks James either.

It would be suicide for the Cavs to put LBJ on Durant for the full 48.

He is going to have to guard him about 50%-60% of the time to prevent Durant from going completely off. J.R. has no shot against Durant. James and a little Shump are their best chance.

I hate both teams, but hopefully it will be an interesting competitive series.

It is complete BS that the series takes so long to start.

I am not a Lebron fan, but I would like to see them knock off the Warriors. I have no desire to see Durant win a title with GS and all their bandwagon fans.

I think Cleveland wins. LeBron is just going to be unstoppable, and I think this is his crest season. He's 32 and I think his body finally starts to give out, a la Oscar Robertson. I think Klay being in a funk, Curry having to guard Irving and a better Kevin Love all make a big difference.
