We've been overhyped early on leading to various issues based on those high expectations. Then when Love went down I think people wrote us off a bit too easy. God knows I had my doubts.
I can't help but feel that Blatt may give us an edge in the battle of the coaches although Kerr has Gentry to fall back on in a pinch.
The two best players in the league face off, but I can't help but feel that our MVP trumps theirs in a playoff series.
So I see those two things as edges in our favor, and I think if we can get good defense and hustle and heart we will win, especially if Kyrie is able to give us say 20 a game and play some semblance of defense.
If Kyrie is getting torched defensively, it could make things very tricky for Blatt. I know it sounds crazy, but I'd really like to see what Delly could do on Curry. Obviously Shumpert should also be solid on Curry. I know in our last reg season game against the Warriors we did contain the Splash Brothers quite well.
I just have a strange feeling that LeBron may be able to pull this off with a bit of help from his friends. I also have this weird feeling we may see some sort of genius coaching move by Blatt at some point. Maybe it's just a well designed play to win a game or maybe some sort of ballsy substitution but I feel like there may be an ace up the sleeve there.
