I Got the Warriors in 6... Toronto's defense is gonna keep them in it, but i also saw them go on extremely long scoring droughts vs the Bucks. GS could match the Bucks Defense but that offense is miles ahead.
Sidenote, should Boogie really be tryna play. I get that it's the finals & it's a dream for an NBA player. But coming off an Achilles, then a quad tear and coming directly into Finals basketball seems like it could be an issue.

A Toronto Championship would be the best outcome to make everyone happy.

Trying to play Boogie is going to cost them a game.

Bucks defense is better than GS's though. I expect the Raptors to be able to get off.

to be fair Kerr has played Damon Jones & Jordan Bell minutes during these playoffs Boogie won't cost them too much especially while Marc gasol is out there.

I don't agree with that at all when we're talking a 7 game series, When GS is fully locked in & engaged on defense they are excellent. & more importantly they have much better defenders to guard Kawhi in Klay & Iggy

I agree.. Those Boogie minutes will yield a negative output and they should be very mindful about not overplaying him

yes.
This is a classic example of being better versus playing better. I'll take GSW's defense all day over Milwaukees.

Golden state defense hasn't been that good. All year, playoffs included.Bucks defense is much better then the warriors.

Are we really of the opinion that GSW doesnt know how to turn their defense on and off? Seriously asking.

In terms of the drtg for the playoffs i think one would also have to factor in that the Bucks played a one legged Blake team & then a Celtics team that was middle of the pack offensively... There defense is good but GS has shown time & time again what they can do to elite offenses in the playoffs.

yea. bucks have a better rating but havent played a GSW tier team. bucks rating wouldve tanked coming up against that firepower. GSW are a prolific team... your advanced stats and metrics and ratings mean nothing against em tbh. you got 3 players liable to go off for 30 at the same time. 2 of which require a double team. ratings dont mean anything against them.

I mean we could easily say that the Warriors haven't faced a Raptors level defense either. So what they did against the Clippers, Rockets and Blazers shouldn't exactly be fodder for giving them a distinctive advantage either.
This is by far the best defense the Warriors will have faced during this title run maybe since OKC in 2016. The Cavs rarely offered any resistance on that end.

Seems like the majority of the posts supporting the warriors boils down to 'iT's tHe WaRrIoRs!!!11'

Everytime they "turned" on their defense this year there has always been a rotation player they could flat out ignore.
The Raptors don't have a dude in their rotation you can just ignore.
I think GS wins but I wont be shocked if the Raps pulled it off.
Especially if Powell and Van Fleet keep showing up
