well I mean One team is 100% healthy. the other is missing their 2nd and 3rd best players and Varejao.

With Kyrie now out for the rest of the NBA Finals, the Warriors definitely must have an asterisk on this championship. I want to be fair and give it to GSW down the middle but every team had a key piece of major piece(s) missing from their team. Congrats to their regular season success but that's all that was, regular season success. Might as well not have played the postseason if someone tries to make that argument. I tried but I just can't give this team true credit for the championship if they indeed win it all. NO - Holliday MEM - Conley/Allen HOU - Bev/DMo CLE - Love/Irving Sorry GSW but when the real season began it got very tainted. But no congrats from me for winning like they were supposed to.
A healthy Cavs team would definitely beat this Warriors team. They haven't been as good in the playoffs as they had been in the regular season.
Unless you shoot historically well like the Spurs did v. the Heat/Lebron last year, this is a long series.
Well it's more to it than watching one singular player, especially if said player has no chance to win. It's about seeing a competitive battle between two teams not knowing who will win. I guess your username is befitting.
Eh, Lebron's been in the Finals for 5 straight years. He's what I expect at this point. Kyrie (my favorite non-Rocket player) and his injury kinda deflates it for me. Just not much suspense. Maybe the Cavs will prove me wrong, and I would LOVE to be wrong, but the Warriors pretty much already have it, IMO.
A healthy Rockets team would have beaten the Warriors. A healthy Memphis team might have tbh. Was looking that way until Allen went down and even with an already hobbled Conley.
Its a number of healthy teams that would beat this Warriors team in a series (OKC, SA, Cavs, Clippers and Grizz would have good chance as well). I didn't include the Rox because they need a pg. Teams with good pg have a great chance against the Warriors.
