Warriors with the sweep, Anthony Davis will look great though but no one else can do much. Tyreke and Gordon will no-show and Anderson will hit a few 3s but that's bout it.

Anthony Davis will probably go HAM on Draymond Green, David Lee, Ezeli, Speights, and the entire GSW frontcourt, but GSW will win in 5 or 6, undoubtedly.

Jrue Holiday will be the key in the series. If he can have a big series, maybe they push it further.

1st Monty Williams should have been fired years ago, IMO.
2nd the Pelicans have the talent and bodies to upset G-State

Key to the series:
o Blitzing/Pressuring Curry and Klay with AD and Asik waiting down low
o AD taking over the series on both ends
o Keep Tyreke as the primary ball handler (and let him attack Klay/AI/Barnes), even if Jrue is re-inserted in the starting 5

I am thinking G-State might have to change their starting 5

looking at the matchup:
PG - Curry - Evans
SG - Klay - Gordon
SF Barnes - Pondexter
PF Green - Davis
C Bogut - Asik
-------------------------
Lee,AI - Jrue, Ryan

Pound for Pound, NO is more talented than G-State .
With all the hype that G-State has been getting that group has only won one more playoff series than that NO Group

NO upsets G-State in 6! :D

Gordon to have shoulder surgery at the end of the season ?! Goodness, this is beyond being injury prone! a wasted talent! the man is a much talented scorer than Klay T!!

This would be the Toronto crowd if they actually gave us something to cheer about.

Well this is the Warriors crowd and they have the loudest best arena in the NBA. WE don't compare.

It's a long shot, but if all else fails, I think they should try putting Anthony Davis on Stephen Curry.

As much as i dont like the chest thumping warriors and would like to see the pelicans upset them, i know it aint going to happen.

Kerr has done a great job there, so I would say warriors in 4 or 5, i went with warriors in 5.

That being said, if the finals were to be the warriors vs the cavaliers, id paint myself gold and run up and down yonge street in my underwear screaming lets go warriors
