    If GSW wins the title, this game will be the one where Curry secures FMVP.

    why ? the warriors are at home and still have superstar, two all-stars, and igoudala playing. the only advantage the raptors have is depth. the warriors have the top end talent advantage, and that tends to win out.

    GS has no business winning this game. How are they favored in this game?

    Not close. We wouldn't trade Gordon and Tucker for Iggy and Livingston.

    We don't have anyone as bad as Cook, McKinnie and Bogut. Livingston is extremely bad these days. He can't even make that short jumper, he has no purpose on the court.

    Again, Raptors a far better defense too. Curry has never had to carry a load like Harden, but this is not a good comparison. But if he's better than Harden as most people tell me, he'll be able to put on at least a Hardenesque performance. 31/6/6 with good defense and 44+ minutes. Typical for Harden.

    They got boogie too. Iggy is very good defender. Warriors got no one as good as Gordon. But Gordon is our Poor mans Klay. So this the rockets with Gordon out

    Warriors now look like we do if Harden sat down in the regular season.

    lol yes but Gordon is a big deal to us, we've never been without Gordon against them.

    No need to stretch man, this supporting cast around Curry is worse than anything we've put around Harden the past 2 years, even this season's Rockets.

    Nurse would have to pull a D’Antoni to lose this series. Golden State is out of talent.

    I’m saying Nurse would have to not play his top guys at key moments or keep underperforming players in to lose this series ala Mike D’Antoni. I’m specifically referring to Capela logging huge minutes to Faried’s 5 series minutes.
