Toronto is a great young team and will be fun to watch in the next few years. Cavs in 5.
OKC is the real deal and the biggest challenge the Warriors will face this post-season. Warriors in 7.

Raptors beat Cleveland in 2 out of 3 games in the regular season. Lowry and DeRozan look like their old selves again. To me, it depends on when we get Valanciunas back and how effective he is when we do. With a healthy JV I think we could push it to 6 and make it a series. I don't know how we do without him...we had the size advantage over Miami with Biyombo and Patterson, but Thompson and Nogueira were bad when they came in for the reserve minutes. With Love, Frye, T. Thompson, and Movgov....I just don't know that we have the size to compete there without JV. Best thing Cleveland can do for us is go small, I think.

Dubs will have problems with OKC's size. Kanter, Adams, and Durant are big dudes that will cause the Warriors to have a 10+ rebounding deficit every game. However, OKC's bench is fucking weak. They practically play with an 8-man rotation. Dubs may try to pull off a Cavs series adjustment and just go super small with Bogut playing only 20 minutes total in the series.

Curry and Klay would have to have a serious run of cold shooting for this series to be any real trouble for the Warriors. I could see Westbrook stealing a couple of their home games, but I think the Warriors win in 6 without too much issue.

Edit: And Cavs in 4, sorry Djay! That's not what I'm rooting for, I just think you're hitting the Cavs at the wrong time.

Screw this draft, Convo. Avoid the temptation. Don't sell yourself on shitty prospects like Dunn or Buddy. Save that Lakers pick for next year.

I hope the Wolves win again to continue this trend of success via failure.

Haha I don't think Dunn will be shitty but I hear you. It's not the worst if we don't get the 4th pick. If we do, I want Dunn. His game vrs UNC really sold me. Dude has fire in him. I doubt the lakers will be very good next year but it really depends on free agency. If we get Ben, I wouldn't mind the sixers testing the water with LA to trade Russell for that 4th pick and maybe something else. Pipe dream probably... I wonder how much that Lou Williams thing hurt him?

Those guys played high school together and would really fill out our roster.

I just can't wait for tomorrow night. Really want #1. We can also hope a guy like Wade Baldwin falls to us later in the first, and I'd be all for them taking on a project in Thon Maker.

I still think it's awesome that the Raptors are getting a Top 10 pick in this draft while also in the Conference Finals.

yea, it looks like a weak draft, but they also said that with Paul Georges draft and he went 10th..

It was Nick Young, not Lou Williams, btw.

Unrelatedly, wonderful Westbrook quote (about Curry): "He's not nothing I haven't seen." Full on triple negative.

Ah yea. That's right. Both ex sixers.

Game has been fun so far. OKC making some dumb turnovers tho.

Raptors in 4. Lebron leaves the Cavs again, and they're stuck with Kevin Love. Wolves get the #1 pick. What kind of odds am I looking at?

Well that sucked. Very un-Warriors-like to not close in a game they were leading almost the entire time.
