Don’t know if they can pull it off but Boston would match up really well with g State

Hate to sound pessimistic, but Golden State would overwhelm us and win in 5.

Now if we played HOU... I think we actually got a chance to take them in 6.

Of course though, first got to win the Cleveland series! (Long way to go still)

That's my feeling as well. We got a shot against Houston. The Warriors would crush us though.

Completely disagree. I think we are playing better currently.

The Rockets would crush us? With our defense we could smother their ISO-ball for the most part IMO.

Not guaranteeing we beat them but we got a solid chance still.

We would smoke this overrated Rockets team in the Finals.  They really are just a chuck and pray type of team.

Well, I don’t know about crush, but it is difficult for me to see us winning that series.

As for Houston, though, I think we matchup really, really well with them, and that’s a 50/50 series imo.

Now it is the warriors that aren't playing any d.  Curry didn't get back on def because he was complaining about not getting a call, and then his man hits a 3 at the other end.  Complain in between plays if you have to, you are just hurting your team by not hustling back on d.

We have the best or one of the best perimeter defense in the league. I like our chances against either team

getting pretty chippy at the end of this game.  tech by Durant shoving harden out of bounds, now Green shoved Ariza.
