Usually its traditionally guards on guards, forwards against forwards. But these days with fluidity and versatility matchups change so often.
I remember in a bulls jazz finals series pippen would guard stockton, leaving harper to guard horny
Warriors in 6.
Golden State need to win to solidify their legacy as one of the great teams. 3 championships is really good. 4 would make them great.
Kawhi has been magnificent so far in the play offs. Hope that continues.
Should be a great finals series.

Not sure about the media but the general public basically give KD no credit for his championships where Curry and the rest of the team get it since they did it without him.
I can see why we are favorites, but it's been a bit silly that it seems so one sided.
Do people not remember we just trailed by 15+ points in each of the last 3 games against a decent but not great team in Portland (i.e. a great team wouldn't let us come back and win those games)?
Do people not realize that Durant is pretty good at the basketball thing and he's not playing?
Do people not realize that Toronto just beat the best team of the year 4 times straight?
Seems weird that we are more favored against Toronto than we were against the shitty Cav teams we've played in the last two finals.

Dubs 4-2
$3.50 with most bookmakers. Take out a 10k loan for it and always remember to gamble responsibly.

But dubs in 6 unless they still have the fear of kawhi going off and zaza not being around to hurt him.
I am warming to the Raps more and more.
1/ Dubs have not been steamrolling teams. They have actually been leaving themselves quite exposed. Kawhi will not let them back as easily as the Blazers did.
2/ Blazers are not close to one of the very top teams - particularly with their injuries. Dub's form is false form.
3/ Dubs injuries are massive. Arguably the best player in the world is out! If the Raps can shut Curry down then the Dubs have huge problems.
Maybe I am projecting but the Cavs beat this Warriors team 3 years ago. And without KD and Boogie this Warriors team is not as good as that Warriors team 3 years ago.

31-1 without KD since he joined the warriors.
That is all.
I conceded I was projecting. Kawhi killed LeBron in the finals once. Now he has to kill the Warriors.
I'm not "rooting" for one team or the other. I'd love to see a game 7 and the winner will be okay with me. I'm just someone who enjoys watching good players and teams. Admittedly, there's a couple of players who do irritate me (for reasons other than ability), but I love watching Kawhi, Steph, Klay, etc. The mere fact that someone is good has never been enough reason for me to dislike them. If Warriors win again, good luck to them. If Raptors win, great ...... although it would be a bit painful watching Drake celebrate

Best case scenario for me is Raptors win in game 6 at Oracle, Oakland natives take their collective rage out on Drake

Similar to me. Just enjoy watching great basketball. Still got a foot in the Warriors camp as my wife and son go for them.

Must be tough being a boston fan around them.
My wife is very enthusiastic about them, very passionate, but never gloats or criticises Boston. My son can be a little shit
We went to a few games at Christmas. Did a great tour around Oracle, went down to the court. My son got to sit in Steve Kerr's chair. Stand where Steph stands for his pre game shot, went in the opposition change rooms...

If I was coaching Raps I'd have Lowry on Curry in the first half then Kawhi on Curry in second half.
lol
One of the biggest fallacies in sport. Go look at the numbers.

This is possible though.
