I think the Curry-Less Warriors can get past the Blazers/CP3-Less Clippers.
So as long as Curry returns in 2 weeks, I say Warriors.

Pains me to say, the Cavs. I'd bust OKC out of the field in that poll. My pick to go the finals now.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

OKC vs Miami, OKC wins. (IF Steph Curry doesn't come back in time).
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

I said it before the playoffs started, I'll say it again. My vote's the Cavs. LeBron took the Warriors six games sans Irving and Love - as long as he has them, I think they get it done.

I hate the Cavs but I picked them. Here is why - the West is still a bit cloudy - it could be the Warriors if Curry comes back soon and healthy, or it could be the Spurs for sure, and not as likely, OKC could pull off a miracle against the Spurs and if Warriors don't get back Steph.

Soooo, compare that to the Cavs, who should be able to walk through the East. So they will be playing for the Championship for sure. And if Kyrie and Love and JR play like they did against us, and I think LBJ still has another gear he can use, the Cavs are going to be very hard to beat.
