Never really felt like a game. Poor playoffs tbh, but atleast an amazing team won it. Durant was sensational and I'm pleased for him.

I don't think they'll be too demoralized tbh. As great as I think they are, it sets up next season or two brilliantly imo. The good thing about a seemingly unbeatable team like this is that some of the other contenders will be desperate to pull off a few blockbuster trades to try and match the warriors. I'm salivating at the thought of CP3 with the spurs and Paul George at Cleveland. They simply can't afford to sit back and play safe (atleast I hope they don't) and that's exciting.

PG 13 to the Cavs, really? Cool. The demoralising call was more for the fact that when the season starts there will only be like 3 teams capable of winning the whole thing. Don't get me wrong though, I love the regular season and a few blockbuster trades will be awesome. TBH I'm excited just to finally see Ben Simmons in action and I've never followed a draft as closely as this group so I'm excited to see who handles/gets the best opportunities to shine in the NBA.

So - Dubs vs all-NBA 1st team, and same reserves. Who you take? Full health, and three weeks to prepare.

Curry-Klay-Iggy-Durant-Draymond vs. Westbrook-Harden-Kawhi-LeBron-Davis.
Gee whiz. Would probably take the all-NBA team just because they'd absolutely kill them whenever they weren't playing that 5-man lineup. If it was 48 mins of both of those 5's then I might take the Warriors, there's serious issues in backcourt defence and all three of Wesbrook, Harden and LeBron are better as the initiator of the offense. Harden and especially Westbrook are really poor off-the-ball players.

How would the defensive matchups even work? Curry/Harden, Iggy/Westbrook, Klay/Kawhi? There's also the issue of Draymond not being able to help as readily as he does now.
And on the other side, probably put Kawhi on Durant and LeBron on Curry and live with Iggy and Dray beating you? Klay of course being the big X-factor.

LeBron can't guard Curry at this stage in his career, he's just not quite at that level on defense anymore. You'd back Westbrook to give it a go, he's up to it athletically but often breaks down by jumping passing lanes and stuffing up switches. Thinking about it more the All-NBA guys would almost certainly win, they, in reality, have 5 of the best 7 players on the court.

I think you'd go: Curry on Russ, Klay on Harden, Iggy on LeBron, Durant on Kawhi and Draymond on Davis. Maybe you switch up and put Durant on Davis just because of his similar height and ability to move with him around the court better. From the other side I'd probably go Westbrook on Curry, Harden on Iggy, LeBron on Durant, Kawhi on Klay and Davis on Draymond. I don't like "wasting" Kawhi on Klay but who else is gonna run with him off the ball? I suppose you could go with Kawhi on Curry and try Westbrook on Klay. Davis is gonna have a hell of a time guarding Draymond.
