Disagree.
We talking about team defense or individual players here?
At this point I think the Cavs have a better team defense than any of those except healthy Memphis and it ain't that big of a gap.
Houston's defense was atrocious this playoffs.

The Cavs have neutralized offensive threats and jumpshooters like Avery Bradley and Jeff Teague throughout the playoffs, so I definitely see where

Of course the Cavs defense looks great going against who've they gone against in the playoffs.
Sidenote: there's about 5-10 reverse jinxs taking place right now. You know who you are. You will not be allowed on the slander bus.

Of course the Warriors look dominant versus the West considering every team they plays was missing starters.
See it works both ways.

This.
Hawks was experiencing offensive droughts against the Nets for crying out loud.
Celtics are the Celtics. They're young and play hard but that's about it.
Bulls. It was easy to figure it out how to defend them. Once Pau got hurt it got even easier. Jimmy is a great finisher on offense but Bulls still depended on Rose too heavily to initiate it. You can literally see the Bulls O just sputter once they kept Rose from touching the ball at the beginning of each possession

They've been dominant the entire year though. Cavs defense was cheeks and mediocre at best until the playoffs against the juggernauts that are the Celtics, Bulls, and Hawks.

Exactly. People keep saying they've had the best defense in the playoffs. Look at who they've been defending
Only in the world of false equivalencies

plus you cant underestimate the riff between rose and butler. rose took just 4 shots in the 2nd half of game 6. had absolutely nothing to do with the cavaliers.

The Warriors went up against a backup point guard in every series in the West.
Considering they have the 2nd best point guard in the league
they had a distinct advantage.

Every team the Warriors have faced so far has had an all NBA 1st team player.... All of which are in the west, except for lebron

Cleveland. Always Cleveland.
Bay Area fans have tasted some success recently. Giants have won two world series. 49ers went to the Superbowl and have been good. Cleveland has never experienced anything like that in the modern sports era.

I forgot that the Cavs only beat teams operating at 100% health. Granted, a 100% Boston is like a 23% Memphis, but still.
Cavs in 4. Fools gold.
