I thought Dallas had gotten as much out of their talent as possible, they just don’t have a championship roster, but GS is better than I was giving them credit for.

If Golden State had Klay and Steph and Green the whole season, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have been the #1 seed.

I also wonder what a Warriors/Suns series would have looked like. I guarantee neither team would have a 3-0 lead. But I do think while the Suns had the best regular season, I would pick the Warriors based on the past couple of weeks of the regular season and how they're playing postseason.

Suns lost to the Mavs for a reason, drama with Ayton, Chris Paul is old & got worn down, then Booker showed he can’t carry a franchise quite like he believes. Luka on the Suns in place of Booker & I bet the Suns have a shot at the Warriors. Also I don’t think the Suns role guys were playing well either, at least not on the level we saw last postseason

When Wiggins if aggressive, he’s a totally different player. Warriors look like the clear favorite to win it all.

While they should be favorites - they haven't really played a difficult team yet. Caught a few matchup breaks, along with injury breaks in the west.

Warriors/Celtics series would be great TV, but caught myself rooting a bit for the Heat the other night. Both pretty gritty teams should make for a fun finals.
 
I haven't watched a ton of Golden State but my goodness are the announcers always that pro-Draymond Green? Just a bunch of gushing and highlight packages over the most routine basketball plays. I think at one point Van Gundy credited Draymond for a teammates basket simply because his defender chose to guard him.

Finals should good, GS looks like the favorite but a lot of people said similar about the Suns last year. A lot of similarities in each run. The contrast in playing styles from the east to west doesn't get talked about enough. It made for two totally different style of teams meeting last year, seems to be the case this year too.

He's playing really, really well. Kind of a tweener between West and Iguodala. He's got a nice 3pt shot.

The pre-Durant warriors supporting cast was more veteran as Draymond, Kay and Steph were younger. Now those 3 are the veterans with a younger supporting cast.

They are always pro GS and usually kissing Curry’s ass

If Celtics/Heat goes 6 or 7, the older GS team will catch a nice rest break. Cannot stand Smart for Boston or Draymond for GS, so a GS/Boston final is probably going to cause me to check out. Cheering for Riley/Spoelstra/Butler at this stage.

GS is doing this without Wiseman and Payton. Scary good next year if they are all healthy.

Is Wiseman any good? Moody and Kuminga look a lot more promising. Will Golden St's owners continue to foot a $170M tax bill or will they have to move salary to resign Poole?

This young cast is pretty good too. Kuminga and Poole have been fun to watch.

It’s incredible how bad these conference final games have been. Especially this eastern series, should go to the sports book and put everything on Miami for game 5.

Just checked out to see the score. glad I didn't bother tuning into that garbage. Conference finals games should be the most competitive out there and not games looking like a 1 seed facing an 8 seed.

Honestly, maybe with the exception of the MIN-MEM and GS-MEM series, this year's NBA Playoffs has largely sucked. Even the series that have been "competitive" haven't really been entertaining.

I think the Celtics are coming back to Boston with a chance to close out.
