As for the West side, GSW looks pretty good specially with Curry healthy and shooting is back in form. With KD always consistent and Klay doing his thing, plus Green with good defense and AI contributing nicely as well. So I will also go for GSW and eliminate the Rockets and face the Cavs once again.
Yesterday, I watched the Golden State Warriors' game against the New Orleans Pelicans. What you pointed out is correct. Kevin Durant has showed a lot of consistency during this season. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson may be getting most of the points, but I believe that KD is having the most impact in the matches for GSW.
It's a team play. If the team wont work then they wont win.
That happened in game 4. Look at how incosistent everyone is if nothing is working on the team.
Philly and Ceptics though, have shown a great game. A lot of future can be seen for both sides of young players. If the players will stay then they can grow their chemistry and see to it that they will give a great game next season.
Congratulations to the Celtics. Their back again. They need a good game plan defending Lebron.
Lebron is the number 1 opponent here coming from Celtics, if only Hayward and kyrie can play then we will see a new line up that will give a new type of game that might give lebron a good fight, it will add a good challenge for cavs and provably some extra lift for the Celtics, this match up was my prediction before this season after I've heard the trade of kyrie and Hayward just not an good news when this two promising superstars got an injury and won't be able to help their teams coming this east finals, but even lebron have an edge we cant just forget how Boston played and how they reach this finals slot.
Well the celtics have been playing above par this playoff without kyrie and gordon with their young guns playing like seasoned vets. Though they could really use kyrie's experience now since they'll basically be playing against a team that hasn't been beaten in the east for a couple of years now. I'm excited to see though how the celtics will match against an obviously peaking lebron and cavs team
I am having some discussion about this with a friend and trying to sum up who will defend the king and vice versa who will defend Tatum as he is a good offensive player also.
Smart is still healing with an injury on his palm that could get worse if forced. He is only the one I can think of that is buffed and with agility that could defend Lebron.
Cavaliers have some agile players also that could defend Tatum but they will be leaving Brown and Rozier on the outside who could shoot some 3's.
This is going to be a hard part for the Celtics since Smart could be looking at a foul trouble while defending Lebron. Who will be next in line after that?
Smart is overrated and can not defend Simmons, McConnell or Saric. What hope does he have in defending Thompson, Hill, Smith or even a Lebron for that matter.
They are toast in the next 4 games. And I do not think Kyrie is making an appearance this years playoffs so the Celtics have no hope in going against the Cavs when they are rolling over first seed teams like they are high school Bball teams.
There is another week until the next conference finals start so there is alot of time to think how these matchups will end.
Until then there is little more to talk about on this years playoffs.
