The Golden State Warriors are set for another trip to the NBA Finals. Here are the five toughest individual matchups they could face.

For the fifth season in a row, the Golden State Warriors will be representing the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. While we still don’t know who will be coming out of the East, let’s look at the five players that would give the Dubs the most problems.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors are both very talented teams. These two powerhouses have been trading blows all series long, while the Raptors have won three games in a row and will look to end the series on their home floor.

Meanwhile, the Dubs made quick work of their conference finals opponent. A clean sweep marked the fifth sweep for the Dubs since the 2014 season. However, this year’s NBA Finals will not be an easy one for the Warriors who are playing without Kevin Durant for at least the first few games.

Luckily, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have hit their strides at the perfect time. Still, these five players could prove to be problematic for the GSW.
