2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

The Warriors will win. I'd be surprised if it was even a competitive series. The Cavaliers struggle to get stops. Their offense has gotten them to the Finals over average defenses. But it won't be as effective against a top defense. And the Warriors offense will expose every defensive flaw.

That sounds like exactly what everyone said last year too.

True
Then draymond got suspended and they didn't have durant.

They lost a lot of their size and depth to get Durant though. We played GS tougher than anyone so far. I don't think they're unbeatable. We had them beat Game 3 the whole game until we couldn't score in the second half of the 4th quarter.

I don't think they are unbeatable for a game either. I do think they are unbeatable in a series though.

I also think that durant >> size and depth. (Especially since they don't really like having size and play better when they are small and don't need much depth due to the fact that they are all young and haven't been challenged/overplayed)


Funny thing is that last year everyone was saying the Cavs had no chance and I was calling everyone dumb for counting out lebron..... yet here I am doing the same thing.
Durant going to a team that is already championship caliber does that to me I guess. I think the durant addition is huge. (For any team but especially the warriors)

#1 offense
#1 defense
#1 most talented team

Adds up to warriors win imo.

We will see if lebron proves everyone wrong again.... this time I don't think he can.
 
The last five minutes or so of last years NBA finals was some of the worst basketball I've ever seen. For as smart as these teams play they both took a giant dump in crunch time last year. Cavs got luckier. Either team could have won easily by taking smarter shots. Curry was especially an idiot down the stretch.

What is the depth and size they lost? This years roster is deeper and has better size based on Durant alone. They filled the roster out pretty well after that as well.

They lost Bogut, Barnes and Speights but added Durant, Zaza and Mcgee. That is more length this year and better overall players.

Barbosa too. He was probably their best bench player outside of Iggy last year. Iggy and Livingston are both worse this year too.
 
The frustrating thing about the Cavs is that their secondary stars arent as good defensively as the Cavs secondary stars. When Irving and Love arent scoring well they both aren't that good.

Thompson was out there bricking shots, but he was playing elite defense on everyone.
