    I just feel this game would close if Memphis had their floor general.

    With a prime Drose, maybe. With this DRose, no chance.

    A healthy Cavs may take this WArriors team with Lebron in GOAT, but that's with them clicking on all cylinders.

    This Warriors team is too good and too deep. Your team gotta have a peak Lebron/Durant to even have a chance.

    Durant straight murders the Warriors since they don't have anyone that can really guard him.

    Warriors have had a lot of luck playing teams with injuries

    the Cavs can beat them, the Warriors can't stop LeBron

    The Spurs would have a chance v. this Warriors team simply b/c of their aura of experience that can rattle the Warriors.

    But as of now, Warriors fear none of these teams remaining in the West. If they play their game, none of these teams should take them more than 5-6 games.

    With Love, Cavs could have b/c Lebron would have feasted on them.

    Without Love, they can't due to a lack of depth.

    Klay Thompson will be a better and more lethal version of Ray Allen. Scary.

    Memphis played GS twice in the last month of the regular season and got obliterated both teams (down 20+ at the end of 3 quarters in both cases).

    So I guess there won't be "playoff" decals on the court for the 2nd round either?

    Kevin Love has done nothing, he had 16pts 8 rebs last time they played against the Cavs

    the Warriors have no one to stop LeBron and the Cavs shut down Curry

    no he won't, Ray Allen was also a rebounder and play maker in his prime

    All that and the Grizzlies are down what...10 without Conley?

    I'd be far from panicking if I'm a grizz fan.

    The Grizzlies hanging in there, Tony Allen has picked off Steph Curry a couple of times
