Ok, let’s start with the most obvious detail: the real “key matchup” in this series is going to be Stephen Curry versus his knee. However, given the uncertain nature of his return and resultant success, I don’t think we need 500 words on it. Instead, I want to talk about the upcoming epic battle of the tall skinny dudes: Kevin Durant versus Anthony Davis. KD and AD - two looming figures of basketball prowess that are equally intimidating.
Neither team will really have an answer to stop these guys from going off, but the series could well be decided by whichever team manages to best contain their opponents’ impact.
