If Howard is out for any length of time Houston is done. Without DH on the court GSW can simply go to the basket at will.
You don't blow a game in a second quarter. Especially against a team like Golden State.
Lebron and the cavs making people cry lol. Damn I wish love was playing they would be even that much more good. They can get the warriors though espically if the keep getting the boards like this. That was the main reason they struggled vs the bulls was on the boards.
d-fence has been strong
"Defense has been strong" against crummy eastern conference offenses. The Cavs are going to discover to their sorrow that GS is a different animal.
Finals will be interesting.
I think GSW takes it pretty easy.
CLE is just too banged up.
Draymond Green is a monster. Liked him coming out and he is the kind of guy NBA execs are stupid on. Everything in the world in his bag of tools except height and immaturity so they let him fall in the draft.
Green can slow LeBron down and if he does, that series may not be any closer than these terrible conf finals.
LeBron has won the East by himself, literally. No Love and npow no Kyrie and still no problem... the East should be ashamed.
But the West is a different story altogether with the pace and defense of the GSW just rolling along like a locomotive.
LeBron could score 40 with a triple double and the Warriors still win by 15. The Warriors likely win scoring battle at all positions LeBron doesn't play.
Kyrie has until to the fourth to get healthy. Hope he's at this best... Make the finals that much more interesting.
The problem for Kyrie is he'll be guarded by Klay and and then asked to defend. If he isn't at his very best he could get whitewashed by an insanely underrated 2 way player.
Klay was the best perimeter defender on the World Cup team... if the fans don't know... the players sure do.
