Warriors or Thunder? Who you got?

[GC003332]

Prior to the start of the season i picked the Cavs over the Thunder in 6 games in the Finals, so with that in mind i have got to stick with the Thunder to get through, Thunder in seven.

warriors in 6

I think Warriors win in 7. It will be a close series though, I think.

The Thunder beating the Spurs effectively closes KD leaving the Thunder in my book. I'd be super surprised if he leaves in the offseason.

Warriors in 5. Too many weapons in that team for OKC to deal . Assuming Curry is fit that is

Okc in 6 or 7

Spurs pulled a Celtics. Nice enough team D but couldn't buy buckets. Especially no bench production

Cavs in 6 in the Finals.

You see the Cavs over the Warriors in 6? How?

How are they going to be able to guard the Warriors?

nobody is beating the Warriors as long as they are healthy.  They will beat OCK in 5 or 6 and do the same to the Cavs.

Cheering for OKC to win but I expect GSW to win in a tough 6 game series.

The Cavs are playing the best ball in the playoffs right now. I know it's a minority opinion, but I don't think the Warriors are unbeatable.

Curry and RW can kill each other

Ibaka will battle Draymond Green

Roberson is going go cause Klay issues

So the question is , who is going guard Durant??

Okc bench is underrated also

Okc has the edge in this series imo

glad to see you jumped on the bandwagon.  I've been a big proponent of the Cavs in 6 over the Warriors for a long time now.

The Cavs are playing the best ball right now because the competition is dreadful.  They will sweep Toronto or Miami but they will get punched in the face in the finals and we all know that Lebron doesn't respond well when that happens...

It won't be that difficult.  All you have to do is look at last year.  The Cavs lost the series because they had no offensive production outside of James, not because they couldn't defend the Warriors.  In fact, they defended the Warriors quite well last year as Thompson, Barnes, and Green were all well below average (and will still be guarded by Shumpert, James, and Thompson).  Curry and Iggy were the only guys with respectable offensive output and I would expect that to happen again (because the Cavs don't have great defenders on those two).  The difference this year is that James has Irving and Love to shoulder a lot of the offensive burden (which will make James even more effective on defense).  Now I know Detroit and Atlanta weren't the best competition for the Cavs, but when the Big 3 are producing, no one will beat them because they have so much depth.  One game Smith goes off, the next it is Frye, then Thompson, then Shumpert, or Delledova, or Williams, or Mozgov.  The Cavs in the playoffs is the team everyone knew they could be when they brought in Love.  It is a scary team.
