Because GSW is the same exact team they were last year. Injuries held them back a bit, but they still have the same core moving forward. Cleveland looked like a lottery team for a good chunk of January and February and there's no Kyrie. That's a big difference.
When teams play elite defense, anything can happen in a 7 game series. It's not as if OKC has an incredible amount of talent like a GSW. They are beatable. it will be a good series. It's he one I am most interested in. Indy/Cleveland is a close second just b/c I want to see if the Cavs can...

I wouldnt be surprised to see San Antonio take GSW 6 games, but I think that's the best they can hope for. Rockets got a first round bye. Dame will step up and lift the Blazers. OKC should beat Utah, but when a team plays D like Utah does anything can happen.
In the East, who the hell cares...
Its amazing, or embarrassing, that they were the worst team with one of the highest payrolls last year. They have been bit hard by some of the big deals they gave out
I am thinking of setting up a vlog where me and my buddies sit around in a barbershop and just talk sports while we get haircuts. Do I need to call LeBron and ask him permission since he thinks he owns the idea?
SP was the big question mark for them entering the off-season. They got some good deals with Lynn/Odorizzi and now it could be pretty solid. I imagine there isnt much depth in case of injuries.
I'm certainly not the oldest here, but I like the high scoring we see today. It's fun to watch from an entertainment perspective. I do think that a shift in officiating needed to happen to open up the game a little. The flopping of this era is really the only part that really bugs me. I wish...
