Goombah,

good points. I haven't watched much of the Cavs during regular season but what you said made sense. If Lebron sits...offense runs through Kyrie and RJ being out there doesn't hurt the team as much as on-last-legs Marion.

Spurs are a bigger threat to Warriors. Pop and the Spurs are like the Patriots(without the cheating)...great coach, versatile players, and the big 3 have proven to be clutch players. Aldridge will FEAST on the Warriors big men(for first three quarters...then he will vanish in 4th).Problem for the Spurs is that big three are on THEIR last legs...and KL and LA have not proven to make clutch plays down the stretch.

OKC will be the more exciting matchup but they don't run plays down the stretch..Westbrook and Durant just perform magic .Plus I think GSW can hide Steph on defense...the other OKC guards are scared and don't want to shoot...so you can put Iggy,SL on Westbrook and hope to wear him down that way.
OKC just doesn't play good basketball. They win despite that....but often blow games because of it.
