    No . Maybe 1 or 2 games but we gonna need Paul healthy and Eric playing well not out of control like the OKC game. Clint will give you his nightly 17 and 12 but we gonna need a collective effort

    I hate Warriors,。
    But on the other hand, I have to admit that they are strong.

    Harden & Gainnis (with one of them) may win only one in the 4/7 series, but it can't go any further.

    I even had a hunch that even if Harden and Gainnis worked together, they would not be able to beat the Warriors in the series.

    Last season we gave a standard reference for defeating Warriors: tough defensive strategy, hard play of Harden and CP3, role players in their respective roles, get the damn cake Cs, the EG behind Harden CP3, Capella's rebound protection and three-second zone threat, etc.

    I still cannot understand why all these media-heads think that Lebron single-handedly beat GSW in the 2016 finals... Kyrie's 3 was just as big of a shot as Lebron's block. Kyrie was just as instrumental in that series - he exploited Steph every chance he got.

    And he fail to hit one out of two free throws after Kyrie three to give them extra cushion in the final minutes. Self proclaim goat not being clutch. That's why Kyrie left them. Too much credit on LeQuit Blames

    My wife and I were in Cleveland from 2013-2017, and she was baffled to why Kyrie wanted to leave a championship team - this was the exact answer i gave her - everyone ignored everything Kyrie did and it was a Lebron show. I actually thought Kyrie was the MVP in that series, and not Lebron.

    If Giannis wins mvp and George win defensive player of year, harden wins nothing, do you feel sad?

    Isaiah is one of the dumbest people I've ever heard talk on television. Every sentence includes an inaccuracy. How does he keep a job??

    Even Jordan?

    You make it sound like he/his team would be Warrior's greatest challenge.

    Dont think so.

    Jordan's game was drive and mid range jumper. He was not a very strong 3 point shooter. Warriors would gladly trade his 2s with their 3s.

    Jordan's teams werent that great of a 3 point shooting teams. Pippen wasnt a prolific 3 point shooter himself. They had a few excellent shooters over the years, BJ Armstrong, Bill Paxon, Steve Kerr, but these were also the weakest links on the team defensively.

    And then there were clown centers on his team, like Luc Longley and Bill Cartwright that would simply be unplayable against the Warriors.

    Neither Jordan's game, nor the way his team was built would pose the greatest challenge to the Warriors.

    Add to that the Warriors have Iguodala, Durant, and Draymond are all excellent wing defenders, Jordan would be working hard to get his 2 points per trip.

    5 > 1 last time i checked. Media should stop trying to pretend the Warriors are so vulnerable.
