Oh, they'd have a chance, but odds are they would have been beaten by the Rockets or Grizzlies if they faced them at full strength. I honestly don't get how you don't see that unless you just happen to be a bandwagon Dubs fan. How many teams in NBA history made it to the championship without ever facing even one team with an intact starting 5?

oh please. like bev and dmo were going to just annihilate the warriors. it might have made it a closer series but unless beverly was going to shoot 50% from the 3 pt line..it wouldn't have made that much of a diff. if smith hadn't got hot from the 3 pt line for game 6 in LA.....
Bev would have at least partially contained Curry compared to Jason Terry and Prigs (neither of which shot well, so the defense would have been key). Dmo would have been WORLDS better than Terrance Jones and likely even better than Josh Smith, who had a horrible series vs GS. It may have not gtd a win, but it would have made us much more competitive.

I want the Cavs to win the Championship. Driving through the upper MidWest would have a more positive feel. For the past 8 - 10 years the MidWest has been mostly a depressed ghost town type of feel...
I agree. GSW play in Oakland yet pretend like they're from San Francisco (even in their logo). They want to associate with the rich white town. They call themselves the Golden State Warriors when really they should be called the Oakland Warriors. At least the Cavs aren't ashamed of being from Cleveland.
Golden State refers to the entire state of California, much like the Texas Rangers or the Indiana Pacers. But I agree about the bridge on their logo. The Golden Gate bridge links San Francisco to San Rafael, nothing to do with Oakland at all.
Am I reading that right? He thinks Tristan Thompson will get a double-double after scoring 4 pts TOTAL in two Finals games? Even Shumpert scoring in double figures is a risk

I don't disagree. But I think the role players (minus Mozgov) have had their lowest offensive output this entire playoffs vs GSW by far. Going home, hopefully we get to see them play back to the norm.
They could have made the difference in Game 1, and we should have won Game 2 regardless. Doesn't matter though, they weren't healthy, and we can't do anything about those bad/missed calls in game 2.
With the way LeBron has been carrying the team, if he gets any sort of help from his teammates, I don't think Golden State wins this series.
