I'm a Warrior, but I have '13 Heat in 7. Last year's Warrior team takes it though in 6/7. They were playing alot more consistently and LBJ had a few "no show" games that year. I think this Rockets team can push the Heat to 7 too as they match up well against them.
The Warriors are the better overall team, but they would match up horribly against the Heat. Heat were too physical and too athletic.
You have a point. I think the Warriors would definitely lose the first game if Heat had home-court or have a close game at home. No doubt they would have to adjust. Klay would have to put up at least 15+pts and Curry would have to be at 25+pts. You can't take nights off against the Heat. I think Wade would be a thorn in our side offensively. But if Warriors are hitting those 3s with Durant making the Heat switch alot, they have a legit chance to game plan favorably against the Heat.
There is no answer for Durant, he will get his no matter what. But the Heat would neutralize the other two best scorers. The Heat would intercept so many passes and block so many shots it would get the Warriors shook. There is little the Warriors can do on defense against the Heat, they can drive into the lane too easily.
yea because going to a team with prime wade and prime bosh isnt stacking
bulls in 6
I believe with most of what you say. But, I think one thing the Warriors can do is let LeBron be LeBron and try to force Wade into taking long perimeter, beyond the Arc shots and they can switch favorable match ups against Bosh. If they contain Bosh and take it to the hole more, that may disrupt Miami's overzealous aggression on defense. But, like many have said, the '13 Heat are up there with the greatest(as are the 2011-2012 Spurs).
Wade would average 30 blks in that series. Let's be real here. Yeah durant /curry would let off behind the 3pt line but pass that line Wade aint letting not easy come into that rim. I
@ the 2015 move being stacking. Joining two players who have never played a playoff game in their careers on a franchise whose best result prior to LeBron were two appearances in eastern conference finals in 1992 and 1976. And not only have the two never played a playoff game, but they were also two glass men with a history of injury, which cost LeBron a championship in 2015.
He can't guard three people at once and the ball movement will have him guessing. I think Klay can macth up well against Wade off-balls and his release is fast enough to get his mid-range shots going. Curry would need to hit those 3s though to give the Warriors a scoring chance and people like West, Iggy, and Livingston would have to contribute as well. But, the Heat never faced a team with this much fire power beyond the Arc as there was no team in NBA that was like that at that time, that could tip the scale.
Wade + Bosh = Not stacked
Wade + Bosh + LeBron = Stacked
Curry + Draymond + Klay = Stacked to begin with
Curry + Draymond + Klay + Durant = Most stacked team in history
And
"Stacked" doe.

Love was an All-Star that underperformed and Kyrie SAVED the Cavs multiple games. He is a three point threat and one of the best finishers in NBA, if you call that one dimensional, than he is up there when it comes to the dimension he resides in. And to add to that, he is a lot more clutch than LeBron killed it in the 4th in the FINALS. You either did not pay attention to the finals that year or simply did not understand what was going on if you don't think Kyrie was absolutely pivotal to the Cavs winning that Chip. His presence on that team changes the whole dynamic of how the offense performs and hell, their defense was even better back then. You lost credibility with this post bro, and this is coming from a Warrior fan. A Warrior fan has to remind you what Kyrie did for the Cavs, think about that!
