Curry FMVP.

Becomes unquestionably a top 10 player all time. (He's in my top 10 already).

He needs to shoot better if the Dubs are going to take out Boston in 5. That is a very good team. I like Warriors in 7.

Lets go Celtics!

Rooting for the STL boy Jayson Tatum.

Thank god, bandwagon Dub fans are probably the worst but Heat Culture is such a group of s**theads.

He was literally 1 shot away from taking a team full of injured role players to the nba finals, again. But whatever helps you sleep at night

Ya not sure how you can talk s**t about Jimmy, who barely has any help besides guys playing defense. I'm sure Curry would've brought that team to the ECF though lulz

Seriously? Butler played 48 minutes, scored 35 points, and lead his team to an amazing comeback that barely ended up short. If he had any help at all from Tucker, Hero, or Lowry they would have won the game. I would take him on my team any day.

Hero has been a complete no show. He basically got benched. Played 7 min.

Lowry has been awful.

Bam just too inconsistent.

Ya I don't get the s**t talk with Butler. He had a an amazing year and is by far the main reason they made it this far.

Well, go Warriors, f**k Boston

Imo, it's gonna be a long series, game 7 most likely.

Boston matches up well with GS, at least defensively. Smart will give Curry some fits, and will also force Curry to guard him. I am very curious about that matchup and how Smart attacks Curry.

I've seen Boston play Smart a lot down low/at the elbow against smaller guards, and they need to continue to do that.

Brown will do a decent job on Klay. They don't need to worry about a big scoring on them easily (which is where they would struggle with). Same with Tatum on Wiggins. Expecting to see Thais be on Dray a lot as well, which should be an advantage for the Dubs

Imo, Smart will be the x-factor this series. If he can put a couple 20+ point games and really make Curry work hard, I can see them winning. Poole on GS side, he needs to take advantage of not having Smart defending him and really go off at times.

Tatum is gonna have to play great almost every game.

Overall, GS has a bit more depth and because of that they can keep Boston from really locking down defensively which they are so good at.

And I also think Celtics benefit from being more tested. Dallas just isn't on Miami's level. And they also took out the defending champs who also play a very physical style.

Hopefully that Memphis series was enough for GS.

I dont think that matters that much for a veteran team like the Warriors. What really matters is health. Getting OPJ, GP2, and Iggy back will be huge if they can come in and produce.

Boston is a tough matchup for any team because they play the best defense in the league. My worry is that they will force a lot of bad shots and turnovers. If the Warriors take care of the ball then they should win but that is a big IF

I think you guys will do a good job against them as well on defense. Boston gets stuck in iso ball mode a lot.

Ya, health and your depth should be the key here.
