I am surprised - due to where Exum was 1.5 year ago - he's playing playoff mins at all.

The problem with the Jazz lineup is they have nobody that can put pressure on Curry to exert effort on defense.
There are four keys to beat GSW and all four have to be in complete synchronization at all times throughout the game (can't be missing one of the four or else you lose):
1) Have a superstar PG that forces Curry to exert energy on defense.
2) Have a team that has the personnel to constantly switch off-ball screens in order to affect GSW's constant motion and PNR offense.
3) Have players with length who can thwart GSW's ball handlers and guard multiple positions on the perimeter.
4) Have a lineup with length and have bangers whose primary role is to offensive rebound and win your team extra possessions that gives your superstars more opportunities to score throughout the game.

Not enough on-ball pressure by the Jazz.
GSW is allowed to do whatever they want and it's easy for the Warriors to find the open man.
Game over.

also...
you have to be able to shoot the 3 ball just to stay in the gm with them
guys that can individually break down their defender and defenses
crash the boards and dominate second chance pts/opportunities
pray to GOD

Durant's offense is meant to solve this but I know what you're saying.

Lol Gobert just doubled KD for no damn reason.
This series will tighten up in Salt Lake. I expect guys like Hood and Ingles to heat up at home.

Here's the thing...when all four of the above "keys" are working in sync, it's designed to minimize the effectiveness of GSW's outside shooting game.
Perfect example - Game 7 last year's Finals.

Yes, that's the counter to Kyrie putting pressure on Curry. But Lebron also becomes Durant's problem, therefore Durant won't be roaming free on defense like he does against other teams.
This is what makes the matchup so much more intriguing than last year's Finals. Lebron is at his ultimate best right now and so is KD.
The X-factors will end up being which bench unit plays better and makes less mistakes. Which Cavalier will step up to the challenge of trying to neutralize Klay. If Klay has a huge series, CLE will most likely lose.
But if Klay has a less-than-Klay-like series and Love makes a bigger impact, advantage Cleveland.

Dubs have won six games consecutively against playoff teams, they're hot so officially no denying it.

Honestly the first team that legit goes full speed and Dray will have the advantage. He has his hands in every play. If you take away his ball movement and starting of the plays, they won't know what to do.

So you're telling us they're playing like a 1 seed.
