Durant and Curry

On paper, that's the pick.  In practice, though, I'm taking Lebron. I think that there's a wide gap between him and everybody else.

Neither Durant nor Curry has really dominated the playoffs yet. They've both underperformed too often, whereas Lebron has had some GOAT performances.

Lebron and Kyrie. They at least have one significant two-way threat on the floor, and Kyrie's defense has greatly improved since Lebron joined the team, too.

James and Irving. In fact, I'll go one step further and say they have the best 3 in the NBA with the improvement Love has made.

I mean, LeBron and Kyrie... unless you remove steroids from the equation.  Then I'll go KD and Curry with ease.

 I would say LeBron and Myself. No. On second thought Curry+Durant×Thompson= Can't be stopped.

Not at all. I've seen Kyrie get the best of Curry time and time again. This includes the 8 finals games they have played vs each other. So then when you also consider that James is still better than Durant, I don't think any marginal disparity between Love and Klay offsets that.

Kyrie often plays down to his opposition, but against Curry he frequently looks like the best player on the court. So for stats I'll take Curry, but not in a 7 game series against each other.

Kawhi and Aldridge not looking too shabby.

Ours isn't too bad either with IT and Horford.

GS and Cleveland are more big 3's and 4's now rather than Duo's.  Cury and Durant and Lebron and Kyrie have to be 1 and 2. though.

clearly the CLE and GS are 1 and 2, but for 3 I'd take Paul/Griffin at least for this year.
