The warriors are heavy favorites. That's factual and common sense.
Please explain how it is factual or common sense? Just because the Warriors beat the life out of your beloved Grizz doesn't mean they're the favorites. But keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about losing again in the conference semis. Cavs would have swept the Grizz, and honestly it wouldn't have even been as competitive as Hawks series.
Cavs have the best defense the Warriors have faced in playoffs, they have great athletes on the wings to match up with Splash Bros, and they also have some guy who wears #23. Cavs in 6.
I don't think the Cavs D is that good. Thompson and Shump are pretty good defenders, Mosgov is OK, and Lebron is great. They match up decently with GS, but they are not going to stop GS. Houston and Memphis are better on D, IMO.
Anything can happen, but Warriors in 5.
Lebron had 42-11-5 only time he faced GS this year. Who is going to guard him? Who is going to guard JR? If Kyrie is healthy, Steph can't guard him. People are underestimating how bad of a matchup this is for the Warriors. Cavs can go big with Mosgov/Thompson in post or go small with Lebron/Thompson in post, and don't lose anything on the offensive end of the court. Can't wait for this series to start.
