That was two seasons ago. We're talking about a Durant-less Warriors today. Cavs would be favorites by the odds.
But if we're talking last season, Cavs would have been favorites then too. And they would have beat Durant-less Warriors too, tbh, imo. Again, Warriors do not have the mental for ude. They just have a bigger arsenal. As it is, the Cavs should've had that last series against the Durant Warriors tied at two.
Last season, Vegas would have saw that Cavs had a paved road to the Finals, the Spurs were formidable, and the Cavs were in the Durant-less Warriors heads. Easy call that the Cavs would have been the favorites, tbh.
