Look for Bogut to start, then Looney. Cousins might start the 2nd and 4th quarters but won't play much. Bell will play a little in spots. Looney will get the majority of minutes.

Sounds about right, but I'm thinking Bogut will have very little play time even if he starts. He's been performing poorly, and I wouldn't be surprised if Looney started based on playoff performance and size.

This Warriors team is unbeaten without KD. If he doesn't come back, it's GSW in 5.

How do you figure? This is as uncertain as a warriors championship have been since they signed KD. And Canadian viewership is going to be an all time high

1). It is as uncertain as a Warriors championship since they signed KD, but that's because the last 2 years were excessively lopsided. It just went from "totally totally certain" that Warriors would win to just "totally certain." It's still certain!

2). Canadian viewership will be at an all-time high, but that's not some special feat; it's never been high before. What record is Canadian viewership going to beat?

Warriors already went through 2 teams that were better than Toronto -- Houston & Portland.

This is hilarious.

Cousins to me is still a star last time I checked.

Warriors are the favorites, if Raps beat them then they should be crowned as the ultimate GOAT team beater.

Hate the warriors but they will win in 5 or 6 with or without Durant. Steve Kerr is amazing coach and can win no matter who is out there.

GS wins because they execute like a machine, push tempo and get s nightly contribution from somebody 4-12. Raps win if they play physical, pound the glass and feast on the corner 3. Game 1 winner wins the series. Dubs in 6.

Series is going 6 or 7. If 6 GSW wins and if 7 Tor takes it.

How do you figure that?
By top end talent? No.
By record? No.
By advanced metrics? No

Please keep track of the predictions, my friend, and see how close they are to reality.

Kerr likes Looney off the bench. Pretty sure Bogut will start even if he only plays 6-8 minutes at the start of each half.
