Haha seriously! The Cavs decided to just leave Harrison Barnes wide open to basically play 5 on 4 defense elsewhere, and he went 5 for 32 in games 5-7. He shot *16%* on 11 attempts per game while making his teammates' lives tougher with an extra defender. Good luck hoping Durant puts up those kind of numbers!

"A notable shift in Cleveland's defensive philosophy from last year was that the Cavaliers ran out to contest jump shots by Durant, rather than concede them as they did for his predecessor, Harrison Barnes. In the first half, that resulted in ridiculously easy dunks, as Durant blew by the oncoming defenders and no one bothered to help."

Yeahhh... Durant is a different animal than Barnes. That along with a litany of other fluke issues from last year's series says to me this one ends up GSW in 5 at worst.
