I don't think anyone on here thinks the Cavs can beat Golden State without Love and Kyrie being hobbled.

Amazing that the best team thus far has stayed healthy the entire season through the playoffs.

I do. Love being hurt doesn't hurt the Cavs that much, Kyrie being hurt does. But the Cavs have a mature LBJ, they can beat the Warriors.

Probably...

But it's strictly match up wise IMO. The Grizz are a very tough team for anyone to play in a 7 game series due to the fact that they have the best post duo in the NBA and play their style of ball, which is at a slower pace than most teams like mainly due to Mike Conley, run their offense through Gasol at the high post and ZBo on the block and are very physical, and play nasty team D with some great individual defenders. They are complete opposite of most teams, guard oriented and play at a fast pace.

That's a tough recipe for any team in a 7 game series, not just the Warriors. The Cavs would struggle with Memphis as well. They probably end up beating Memphis in the series, but it would be a struggle and a grind. Which is exactly how Memphis wants it. They are the 1 team you don't want in a best of 7 series strictly because of that.... It's gonna be physical, a grind, and a struggle. After a series with Menphis, you feel it and know you were in a fight.
