Alright, time to take a look at what we expect out of this year's NBA Finals.

Raptors and Warriors will have our picks, of course, at the end.

But the first thing that stuck out to me about this matchup is I think this is pretty easily the best defense that the Warriors have played against in this entire run since 2015.

So you're focusing more on defensive talent, talent plus scheme or both?

Yeah, I think both the intelligence level defensive talents, you know, maybe you could say that that 2016 OKC team was up there, but that team had, you know, Russell Westbroker who's going to fall asleep and Katie could bring incredible effort, but also with way in a little bit.

It didn't have the most amazing communication.

This Raptors team has everything that you could possibly want defensively.

If they want to go to the approach of trying to get over screens on curry, how Larry could do a pretty good job of that he chased J.J.

Retic around for seven games against Philly. Fred Van Vliet looked really good on curry in the one game in Oakland.

John Schumann had this stat that Curry scored just four points on 39 possessions with Van Vliet.

He's going to be going to Van Vliet is excellent at getting through screens really physical.

They've got Danny Green, Kauai Leonard, Pascal Siacum who can switch Ibaka is still capable of switching it if needed.

Nobody in their rotation really looks like a liability except for maybe Marcus.

And this is where I did certain circumstances Norman Powell.

I want Adam and then we can get to Marcus.

Yeah, and that's a possibility.

We'll see whether he holds up from a communication standpoint.

I think as an on ball guy, I think he's totally good.

The one thing that they may not be able to do is to switch everything.

And that's because Ojiyan, I know he may come back at some point in the series,

but hard to expect that he could get up to playing against the Warriors and the NBA Finals.

Type of speed also a shooting liability on the other end, which of course it will get to as well.
