Going big is what will beat the warriors. I mean Kanter and Adams gave them fits in the last playoffs.

A team of teenagers isn't beating the Warriors.

Damian Lillard to the Spurs or Jazz. That's how you beat the Warriors.

To me it seems the secret to beating Golden State is to add more all NBA players to your team. Having 4 to 5 would be good.

The only thing the Cavs need to do to beat them again is get better. That's easier said than done, but get PG and we'll be talking.


1. They didn't have Durant

2. The likelihood of Curry, Igoudala, and the starting center all nursing serious injuries and Draymond getting suspended is pretty low

There's a sizeable gap between them and the Cavs and it will only get larger with several of Cleveland's key players in/approaching their mid 30's.



If you want talk injuries, then the Cavs easily beat them the year before.

Either way, my point is that the Warriors like to go small - but LeBron is the best small ball player, and the best player, in the NBA. The Cavs do need to upgrade to offset Durant, but if they get PG or Butler, then I would bet on the Cavs next year.

Clev + fewer turnovers + transition defense = close 7 game series IMHO

It has to be more than that doesn't it?

Denver is one of few teams that have a win against them actually in last two years, and we are just getting better...

It took Denver an incredible 3 PT shooting night.

They can't keep that up in a series.

Its not our fault GSW werent able to guard Juancho
