re: Reverse Roles from 2015: Could Steph win with Draymond and Klay out?

I don't think it's far fetched to say the Cavs may have won

I do. This season has shown that. They would have torched a healthy Cavs team trying to play an uptempo style with Kevin Love and Kyrie trying to defend the PnR.

To say a healthy Cavs team would win in 5 is straight up retarded.

The Cavs found success by limiting possessions, earning extra one's for themselves through turnovers and OReb's, and having the best player in basketball basically take every shot. Outside of the obvious of having LeBron it is the same formula the Grizzlies used to have success against them in last years playoffs and largely what the Spurs have tried to use against them. When the Warriors aren't making shots and turning the ball over a lot it works, but they are just too damn good for that to work over a 7 game series.
