-MYERS ON KERR STATUS 

-STATUS QUO FOR KERR'S HEALTH IN FINALS --- HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE DOES A COACH MAKE IN THIS SERIES? (KERR WILL REMOTELY COACH TEAM BEFORE / DURING HALF) 

UNDEFEATED POST SEASON 16%: NUMBERS FIRE

So, we ran the numbers. And according to our algorithm, in a potential Cavs-Dubs Finals series, the probability of Golden State winning in four games over Cleveland is 16.2 percent, or about a 1-in-6 chance. (If the Celtics miraculously come back, the Warriors would have an even better shot: a 20.9 percent probability of winning the Finals in four games.)

An epic seven-game Finals would be much more fun. But should the Warriors somehow sweep through the entire playoffs and Finals, we'd have to start considering this 2017 Golden State squad in the conversation for Greatest Team Ever. Right?
