We're guaranteed a 3 peat.

Either Warriors win for 3rd straight season or McCaw does.

It’ll be interesting if Lowry actually shows up. Klay and Dray are good defenders, but Kawhi isn’t a great matchup for either.

I still think the Bucks would have given us a better matchup. Too bad they had an Indiana Pacer like meltdown.

Good to hear. I hope Cousins is out too.

Hopefully Raptors backcourt D ends up being good. Green cant make anything offensively so at very least hopefully he can stop Klay

That's always the mindset lol.

I'm probably expecting the series to go worse than most predict. But obviously hoping it's a competitive series.

I just don't have much hope for Danny Green. His defense has been declining the past few years and with a guy like Klay, he has to be at the top of his game in order to not get abused.

That's the thing with GS, they are all really good but if there is a certain mismatch, they always manage to scheme it open somehow. Klay finds these inexplicable wide open 3's from the corner all the time, not to mention all the flares and how he runs off of screens.

I could see Klay being the leading scorer in this series if Danny cannot guard him. And if/when Durant comes back, then it becomes a whole different series, let alone if Draymond continues to be a point center. They will run Gasol into an early retirement if Nurse isn't ready.

This GS team is the best ever assembled and frankly, I don't think it's even close. Without Durant they still have another 3 or 4 titles in them, IMO. They are so smart and Kerr knows how to handle egos and adversity so well.

Kind of surprised you took the defensive angle regarding Danny Green....he's still one of the best backcourt defenders in the league IMO...very instinctual...especially in transition..

I would be more worried about him turning into Tony Allen from 3, making him unplayable for long stretches...easy player to hide Curry on too.
