Warriors win handily. They are slightly worse than the '17 version but you gave them better pieces in Bogut, Barnes, Speights, Barbosa.

Huh? The 15 Warriors vs the Celtics is an even matchup without Durant.

Warriors likely win even without Durant. Adding any version of KD makes this a one-sided slaughter.

I'd pick the Warriors if I had to bet, but I think it's closer than the first few respondents do. The Celtics theoretically match up well: smothering, physical guards to disrupt Curry, strong, two-way wings to counter Klay, Durant, and Iggy, and (assuming availability) Porzingis to keep Draymond honest defensively and cover space to challenge the Warriors' trademark 4-on-3s. And, Boston has dominated all comers for a reason. I think it sells short their achievement this season to assume offhand that anybody would easily defeat them.
