To win them, yes. To sweep them? No.
I for one, would not be surprised if GSW sweeps even the Cavs. Do you know what it means to have Durant Curry Klay Green and Iggy in the same fucking team Even the last TEAM USA did not have a better starting 5! GSW has not even reached its full potential yet.

The only thing that gives some uncertainty is that Bronbron has the soul of a champion, and to the soul of a champion, impossible is nothing.

Bros, this ain't no fantasy playoffs ooo. Much as I don't fancy LeBron having his hands on another ring, the bolded would never happen. Not even if LeBron gets injured.
I would be the least surprised if the Cavs steal game 1. Let's just hope cupcake holds up through the series, he needs the ring more than anyone else, he is going to be the difference.

LMAOOO. The choke job is in. Barry Trotz's decision to demote Ovechkin to the 3rd line has paid off thus far, this was the same change i wanted Joel Quenneville to make to the Blackhawks line.

5-2 final score. Game 7 in the nations capital.
I don't know if the move was genius or out of sheer desperation. Truth be told Ovechkin has been a non-factor, guys like Backstrom, Kuznetsov had played a lot better regardless. The cracks were there but most of we Penguins fans took it for granted. Too many shots were being conceded. They have taken over 60 shots more and the brilliance of Fleury is why the scoreline looks close.

Have to start much better in Game 7. We got away with it against the Jackets starting not just slowly but terribly. Its evident that won't fly this time

I've never seen anyone like you who is so positive about a Bron-less Cavs.

The Cavs are nothing but a lottery team without LeBron abeg.

You just want to swipe that card again. I Which one is sweep Cavs in finals now? If he lost you'll say we had 4 all star, if he won you're already doing your best to polish the Warriors so fine he gets the GOAT status. Assuming the series started 2-0, I can believe you're sincere but Sweeping Cavs is like saying you knew the Cavs could come back 3-1 last season. No basketball guy saw that coming. At least not not until the series starts.
Anyways, the FA has been adjusted reasons known to Adam Silver. It's not in favor of the Warriors at all.

Going to be a huge shakeup in toronto this offseason. I think Masai is going to tear apart Colangelo's (former gm) team. Talking about culture reset and excuses shocked when gm starts talking about style of play you know coach is a goner.

I wont be surprised if ibaka even derozan is gone. Im also impressed with how this "young" nigerian articulates himself

Patty mills wasted too much time. Wonder why Pop blames Gasol for it.

I don't have a team I'd rather play at this point but I am leaning towards Spurs based on what I have been noticing.

Game goes into OT.

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:52am On May 10, 2017
And they won without Kawhi.

Harden helped his team but let them down when it mattered but I guess he was tired.

Hard fought games like this could be demoralizing but they should take consolation that they were away. They need to lay it all in game 6 and push for that game 7.

We need a game 7.

Coulda sworn that dude was Kenyan. Serious goals men

Letting Casey go might be an option. The drop in offense from regular season to playoffs is grotesque. Unless they want to tank no point moving DeRozan IMO. Letting Ibaka walk and finding a way to dump Carroll is their best shot. Whatever they do they are not beating the Cavs next year bar a Lebron injury so no point overreacting

Lol the Spurs literally stole this game. Gotta hope Kawhi is ok.

That block on Harden man! He really hurt them with the T.Os too

I predict a blowout Rockets win in Game 6 sha

In my opinion, i would keep Casey, it is not his fault his stars do not show up because they deficient in many aspects of the game that matter in the post season.

A change of culture would imply a change in the method of player recruitment especially free agents, change in how they play, and the change also means DeMar has to improve numerous aspects of his game. He is wayyyyy to predictable and has the heart of a worm on the court.

For a player his size, length, and with such wing span, he should be a better defender on the ball, especially 1v1. Also, 15 foot jump shots are never gong to make you great especially when you are the primary scorer for your team. He has to develop 3 point shooting, and stronger drive to the rim. A career defining summer workout awaits him, players like Kawahi, Harden, A. Bradley, M. Gasol are testimonies to how develop new skills either on offense or defense.

If they decide to keep DeMar, they would have to surround him with shooters/ scorers. Lowry wants to win a ring, and he has his eyes set on western conference because Lebron would continue to dominate the East. The Spurs, Pelicans, Rockets, Mavs (depending on what Cuban wants to do next season).

If a GM thinks with that mindset, he is not fit to be a GM. if an athlete compete with that mindset, he deserves not to considered so.

It could be equally said that no team will defeat GSW except perhaps the CAVS (I insist on perhaps, as I strongly doubt it, though Im Cavnation) so why compete or make adjustments?

I'm speaking from an analyst standpoint. And even sef Demar DeRozan an actual athlete said it. Him sef don gba kamu say with Lebron they have no hope

All I'm saying is what adjustment do you think they can make to beat the Cavs next year with a healthy Lebron. If you know please share

I am actually watching hockey because of how predictable some of these games can be

Mental adjustments. Masai kinda said it without saying it. Which is why i think derozan is in danger. These kind of words should never be thought by your go to guy, much less spoken in public.

Hard to say it but derozan goes soft when the game gets hard. How do you teach that level of heart
