Watching some of these GSW interviews, they seem so refreshed not having to play Cleveland this year lmao.

I can imagine playing the same team 4 straight years in the Finals would get old really fast. Especially considering that the Cavs last year had eroded so much on defense that it wouldn't even be a challenge anymore, with or without KD, if they had to play them again this year.

The Raptors this year are a new and fun team, and are by far the best defensive team the Warriors have played over the last few years.

I mean, just look at this graph:

I mean, just look at this graph:

exactly this... can't believe people still think Warriors is the overwhelmingly better team... I see the Raptors will win this series in a large margin... probably average double digital points wins...
the first game is going to a blowout win by Raptors
don't let the Portland series fool you, the Blazers just really matched up badly against Warriors...

Stephen A had a streak of like 7-8 straight wrong picks in the finals right? :lol:

Pretty sure he ended it picking the Warriors over the Cavs last year though.

Raps in 7. Key to this series are FVV and Norman Powell. Obviously if Cousins plays well and whether KD comes back are huge question marks

Warriors in 6!

Hard to beat the Champs...
