I think GS is deep enough to even if they lost Curry, they would still be able to beat any team from the east. Now if SA lost Leonard, I'm not sure they can beat Cleveland. SA is deep but I don't think they're that deep. However, I also think Aldridge has the ability to dominate and if he does, no big man can stop him due to his ability to shoot and play in the post.

Lol, the one advantage most people give SA over GSW is that they're a little bit deeper. GS isn't beating a fully healthy Cleveland without Curry. You vastly underestimate how much his freakishly rare skill set changes the dynamic of the game.
pacers go into toronto, steal game 1. Raptors, feeling a repeat of last year, play tight in game two. Lose by 13. Raps steal game 3 in indianapolis, but the pacers win game 4 in ot. Raps fight off elimination in game 5, but are eliminated when the series returns to indianapolis.
WEST: GS over Houston, 4-0 (Houston being Houston, and the Warriors being the Warriors, I will be surprised if Houston is even competitive in a game)
SA over Memphis, 4-0 (It is a shame that Memphis is so beat up, and a shadow of their former selves. They were having a pretty good season. SA will put them out of their misery)
OKC over Dallas, 4-1 (Dallas will try to slow it down, but they simply cant matchup with the Thunder's speed and athleticism. But, OKC will screw up one late game season to give Dallas one win)
LAC over Port, 4-3 (Portland is going to push the Clips. The Clips are going to play down to their competition, and Portland will make them pay. As I always say, the Blazers will have a shot because of Lilliard and McCollum. But, ultimately, the Clips will wake up and when a series that shouldnt be this close)
EAST: Cleve over Det, 4-1 (Detroit will make it interesting, but their inexperience will show)
Tor over Indy, 4-3 (Despite what happened earlier, this Toronto team will recover, but Indy wont go away quietly. It will go the full seven with the Raptors pulling it out)
Char over Mia, 4-2 (This is my upset pick. I think people are sleeping on the Hornets, and I believe, without Bosh, Miami is overrated)
Bos over Atl, 4-2 (This isnt last year's Hawks. Boston will take them down)
Considering how my March Madness brackets ended up looking, Im probably not even close on any of the predictions! Ha.
