Do peopl actually but this bull? Being locked in isn't going to make your aged defensive core quicker vs drives.

Aged defensive core? Iggy is really the only impact player that I would call old on the Warriors.

iggy and green's defensive impact are>>>>>the rest of the warriors. If they're getting lit up by lou williams, they're getting torn a new one vs giannis.

and green is very clearly not as good as he used to be.

I think they'd need Durant back to beat us, but they could beat the Raptors without Durant.

Even without Durant I wouldn't be confident in saying they'd lose to the Bucks.

It's all about the benches... The Warriors and Raps are among the worst benches in the post-season, while the Bucks have one of the best.

What? Green has been playing up to his All-Star standards. He's been balling especially at the defensive side of the court.

Lou Williams was just on fire and would've wrecked any other great defenses.

Without KD? No.... Pretty sure Raptors, Bucks aren't as dumb as Blazers when it comes to defending Steph

Depends on KD.

I'd back them to beat the Raptors without KD.

Bucks would be a bit different.

Lol. Lou Willaims would have gotten destroyed by the bucks. He'd be useless in the paint and as the bucks showed vs the celtics, they can esaily switch everything to contest kick outs.

I don't know what version of draymond you've been seeing, but last year's warriors were the #1 defence of the playoffs, this year's warriors aren't even close. The bucks have fit the profile of an elite champion thoughout the reg and post season, the warriors have not. There's no logical rationale for picking the warriors.

Raptors came close to beating them twice. We ended up splitting the season series. We'd have a decent chance.

Yes, they have had the advantage of waltzing through the weak Western Conference play-offs all these years.

freethedevil wrote:nope. With KD, without kd, there is now switch. They've never been as good as the bucks in the season or the playoffs. If the bucks lose to the raptors, then the raptors are proably good enough to take out the warriors.

There is some rather recent history in regard to stellar regular season records predicting title wins. As for the play-offs if the Bucks dominate the Raptors then we are talking.

That said should GSW get through the Blazers without Durant they need him to be favourites against whoever comes out of the East, and against the Bucks with Giannis in particular.

Already looking pass Portland after only 1 game? come on now.

Exactly. The Blazers have defied such hot takes through the two preceding rounds already.

Toronto won both games, but it doesn't really matter anyway. Curry/Draymond didn't play in the OT win in Toronto and Kawhi didn't play in the blowout win at Oracle.

The Bucks are a force and still underrated.

I don’t see any reason why not

No KD and my Dubs might lose? With KD healthy its a slam dunk.
