NBA Staff Series Picks

Rob Perez:Raptors in 6. The Warriors have never seen a defense like this, and everyone won’t realize it until it’s too late.

Matt LaMarca:Warriors in 6. I’m done doubting arguably the greatest basketball team ever assembled. They got their mojo back vs. the Blazers, with Draymond Green dominating over four games, and should only get healthier as the series vs. the Raptors progresses.

Matt Moore:Warriors in 7. The matchup on paper is great for Toronto, but these are the f***ing Warriors. So I’ll go with the Dubs in 7 even on the road; the Splash Brothers will splash to bring home the three-peat and four in five years.

Evan Abrams: Raptors in 6. The Raptors are 2-0 vs. the Warriors this season, and Golden State simply hasn’t seen a defense like this in the playoffs, especially with a player like Kawhi. If you are going to make a pick, why not make it while shocking the world. The Warriors' season ends at Oracle behind a Kawhi smirk after the buzzer sounds.

Scott Miller:Warriors in 5. It’s pretty simple: I like Golden State to split Games 1 and 2 on the road, sweep at home (especially if Durant comes back), before closing out the series on the road, as they love to do.

Bryan Mears: Warriors in 6. If Durant and Cousins were out for the whole series, I think this would truly be a tossup, and I’d probably favor the home team. But Durant shores up some weaknesses (which are mostly playing really bad bench players), and I think that firepower will be enough. I think the Raptors are undervalued according to their odds, but the Dubs are rightfully favored.
