Even as a sixers fan, I would hope so. I really don't want to see GS win.

Barring injury and the Cavs themselves, I'd like to think that the team will be hard to beat, even for GSW. I'd really like the Cavs' chances, even more so then now. They'd have the depth they desperately needed.

I want Warriors to lose almost as much as the Spurs and Rockets.

Come on Cavs beat the Warriors.

Nope. But they'd be moves in the right direction and fill roster gaps.

There is a reason we play the games.

Our issues associated with GSW has never been starters vs starters. It's that their backups tend to blowout our backups.

it's ridiculous. the Cavs are 40 millions over the cap limit and can sign player like DWill and Bogut for free. with their regular contracts the Cavs would have an 155 million cap. but the warriors are the bad guys. as fan of the raptors or wizzards i'd be so annoyed. goodbye fair competition.

Which part isn't fair? That every single team had a chance to pick them up on waivers and passed?

The Warriors are lucky they had such a tiny contract guy in Curry turn into a star. Otherwise they wouldn't have beeen able to afford Durant.

Everyone is playing by the same rules. And no one is calling the Warriors bad guys due to salary cap it's just the Durant joining the 73 win team thing.

There's always buyouts and teams getting good players for 'free' as you call it.

They took them out last year without Bogut, Deron, and Korver, how are they worse this season? Love was bad last year too, so if Love is his 20/10 self in the Finals, the team is WAY better than what they threw at GS last year. Also GS is not MUCH better than last year, they lost tons of good pieces to get Durant (Bogut, Barnes, Livingston, etc..). I see them taking care of business again.

Hopefully both teams make it and are fully healthy. Bogut will definitely help you. I don't think Deron will really be a factor. I also don't think Calderon will be a factor if the Warriors sign him.

Have you seen Felder play? If IT wasn't blowing up in Boston, we wouldn't be holding onto him. Deron will be a factor in the sense that we'll have a legit backup for the first time all season.

With Bogut, D-Will, Lebron, Irving and Love when he returns, Thompson, Korver, Smith and co.... this is arguabally the most stacked roster ever...
