Basketball has evolved to the point that Golden State has the best formula for today's game and everyone else is try to catch up.. They are so tough to guard because they catch and shoot so quickly and ACCURATELY... They all drive well enough to keep the defenses honest.
Kevin Durant just flat took over that game last night.. He has so much length that when he gets hot, he is almost impossible to stop.. You anticipate where he is going, then he will adjust.. His length allows him to shoot over just about everyone.. Then, when Draymond Green or Durant go to the low post, they both handle the ball very well and pass very well so double teaming or any team defense comes with a price to pay with another open shooter. Curry and Thompson have been consistent but when they have the occasional game where they both struggle, like last night, you have arguably one of the top 5 players in the league in Durant to carry you in stretches.. Cleveland does not have enough help for LeBron to win this series.. Could be a sweep or Cleveland may take a game but this series is over, in my mind... Golden State is not going to allow Cleveland to come back like they did a few years ago. The Warriors have a dynasty going as long as those guys are healthy and playing together.
