    The fact most people disagree with me suggests I'm likely right, its a good buy low time on GS, no one thought GS was overrated before they lost game 5, and GS beat Houston easily without Durant in Houston, Houston wouldn't have had a chance last year without home advantage which they won't have this year, that should be a huge advantage.

Lol.
        That pretty much while I think Houston can push them ultimately don’t see them winning a game when it counts (like a closeout gm) when harden turns into a pumpkin and KD rises to the occasion.

        I do think if Boston gets their shit together and makes it thru the east they would present a problem cause kyrie could go toe to toe w Durant in big moments.

Houston isn't the same team this year,Paul is older and has been hurt, he's inconsistent after getting his max contract and the team depends too much on Harden, Denver is a young team not likely to threaten Golden State and no one in the East can matchup with Golden State. Miwaukee depends too much on Giannis, Boston has had chemistry issues all year, and Toronto only has 1 superstar. The warriors are bored, they should step up when they face better teams after this round.
              Hasn't it been proven that chemistry issues or struggles during the regular season often don't mean anything come playoff time in NBA? Decent chance Celtics lose to Milwaukee here, but if they do make it to the finals I think it will be safe to say they won't be dealing with chemistry issues.

                  Boston is a good team but I'm not quite sure Gordon Hayward will be ready for the intensity of the NBA finals. He's playing well now, but you can still see this isn't the real Gordon Hayward. It took Paul George about 3 years realistically to come back from his injury, back to his glory days. I can see Boston winning the East and that was my pick before the season started. I also took a flyer on Indiana to win the east at almost +5000 and that was when Oladipo was healthy, so I got unlucky there.

                  I think Toronto has the best chance of winning the East.

                  But Bucks can win too. So can Philly.

                  Realistically, I don't see any of those teams posing a problem for GS.

                  1) Because of Durant factor. Durant impacts the game way more than Kyrie. He's 7 feet, dribbles, grabs rebounds, and one thing he does that Kyrie cannot is block shots. Durant has blocked 5+ shots in a game several times this year. That's 10 possible points.
                  2) Curry has never won a finals MVP, and you can bet your ass he's gonna average at least 27 in the finals.
                  3) Demarcus Cousins might end up coming back, and the guy will destroy any remaining center in the NBA not named Embiid.

                    GSW cannot win this year without Cousins

                    It will be tough for them to get to the finals

                      One of the most efficient lineups in the league remains the 5 of Curry-Klay-KD-Iguodala-Draymond

                      Who sits if Cousins plays? Idk man

                      G State dropping the ball down low & playing through the post? Big man buckets? What the? Might’ve been s blessing in disguise losing Cousins.

                      Curry needs to go grab his finals MVP to satisfy that ego a lil bit. It hurts him. I know it. Go get yours bro. It’s all good. But those guys from Houston don’t wanna be labeled losers no more. Who’s hungrier? We are gonna find out...AFTER warriors can get past the clippers lol

                        Cousins is the best passing big man in the world after Jokic. Cousins averaged like 5 or 6 assists last game. GS has no inside presence, and never has. It is literally impossible to guard them if they have Cousins. It's team USA basketball. Cousins is better than Klay Thompson when healthy. He's been a nightmare matchup his entire career. He gets teams in foul trouble early. Exposes any bigs you put on him. He played with bums in sacramento his entire career and was getting triple teamed during games.

                        Don't compare the likes of Iguadala or Green to Cousins. Only reason why Cousins may not play is because the 2 injuries.

                          The question remains... who sits for Cousins?

                          I’ll take Cousins on Capela 1v1 in the post all day if that means Harden & CP3 get to pick him apart on switched screens. That’s BBQ chicken all day my friend

                            Warriors will likely be -250 to win the title tomorrow, Houston was the biggest threat by far and Durant should be back by the time they play game 3 on the road against Portland or Denver, they shouldn't need him at home in game 1 and 2.

                                      Warriors are now -200 or more at most books - with Cousins and Durant coming back I think this line goes up to -250

                                              Just 1-1, but with Durant likely back at latest by game 4 Warriors are in great position
