Steph makes this look way closer than it really is. Team Russell's offense isn't going to be pretty but it'll be functional and they'll be good defensively. Team Curry is non-functional defensively and their offensive advantage is smaller than it appears. Team Russell actually has more offensive creators than Team Curry and owns the offensive glass perhaps even larger than Team Curry owns the shooting. At the 1-4, Team Curry is giving up an average of 3" and 20 lbs per player.

Team Russell wins a 7 game series in 5.

If you don't think Eddy Curry would be too big and strong for Bill Russell :crazy: , then this will be team Russell. They may keep shooting low percentage shots off offensive rebounds each round until the ball goes in.

Wilt Chamberlain wasn't too big and strong for Russell, so I doubt Curry would.

curry is always hard to count out when era-relativity is broken but the team might just be too small here
