Once again hyping up the Warriors cause of your LeBron lovefest. Rockets win this series if CP3 is healthy and Spurs might have done it last season if King Kawhi didn't get hurt.
What I am looking forward in this years finals is watching Durant score on LeBron like he did in last years finals. LeBron can't guard Durant effectively he's not a great one-on-one defender. He's a good help defender which is why most of his blocks come from behind.
To be fair to LeBron KD is pretty much unguardable which is why there is not a huge difference between the two. I think Pippen/Kevin Garnett would have given KD problems but that is the only two I can think of.

It's very rare. They choked just like the Celtics did. I don't understand why they kept chucking 3s. If the 3-pters aren't going down - shoot 2s.
Either way thought Rockets put up a good fight playing wout CP3. Warriors just have too much talent. [Reply]

Well obviously. Likely won't even sniff one. Not one of the non-LeBron Cavs other than Love should start in the NBA.
Yes, it's a historic choke job, but neither you nor I gave them a chance this series. So how about you just stfu [Reply]
Moving on to the Finals and looking at the matchups there isn’t one that favors the Cavs with me considering Lebron/KD a wash.
I fully expect Curry to have a great Finals because he gets to defend Hill which means he can take it easy and have a ton of energy for his offense. Plus the Cavs have zero rim protection unlike Houston so they should be able to get to the bucket anytime they want. [Reply]

Nope, but nobody would have predicted Durant being inexplicably terrible for half of the series. [Reply]

Even if scoring was the only thing that mattered in basketball and you ignored every single other part of the game that LeBron is vastly superior to Durant at, check out the active list of 40+ point playoff games:
