I'm just looking at it like this...Kawhi is basically playing at Bron level coming into last year's finals. But the team in Toronto faced far more adversity than that Cavs team did and have a far better defense.
That Cavs team at minimum was in position to win 2 games including the opener at Oracle and that was with the Warriors have KD. Lowry seems to have gotten over that mental hurdle he had in the playoffs. The supporting cast has confidence after their performance 4 games in a row, specifically the bench.
Last seen in action against a Warriors squad, Kawhi had them dudes down 23 at home with an eerily similar constructed squad. I'm just saying sans KD this series is definitely not lopsided as some are predicting.
