    Against better defenses? Yeah they will lol. Maybe not 1-9 or 6-20, but LeBron isn't going to keep this up he's never been a consistent three point shooter.

    Kyrie has been trash all post-season.

    There is no way the Warriors don't win with Steph-Klay-Durant-Draymond.

    Lebron James is ultra greedy; wants all the wins. I respect that.

    I didn't even watch this game, I already knew that the Cavs would handle business

    I would hate to be in the Raptors' situation right now...they're capped out with no real way to get better

    they got a lotto pick from the Knicks, but it was in an incredibly weak draft so they ended up with a big bum...sucks for them

    Everyone though GSW will win last year as well, sure Curry had some injuries and no Durant, but boi does Lebron going full r****d so far, i don't know man, if he wins against this Warriors team he might as well cement his legacy as GOAT, and that alone might be good enough motivation for him.

    Unless LeBron drops 60/15/15 every game I don't see how the Cavs possibly win that series.
    I guess Curry/Klay/Durant could choke again, but I doubt it.

    As much as I don't like Cleveland, the Cavs are pretty good team. As much people hate to admit it, regardless if you are indifferent, a Lebron-hater, or lover -- he's one of the most outstanding NBA players ever. People have always try to find fault in his game,yet his improved all of those aspects -- defense, shooting, and 3-point shooting.

    They hate him because he formed the SUPER TEAM twice

    Once in Miami and now another Superteam in DA LAND

    I wonder what the Raps homers who thought this team was so much better than last year are thinking?

    And Wade was already on the team...so what's your point? Cleveland isn't a superteam? Miami wasn't a Super team? Magic and the Lakers weren't super team with 3 Hall of Famers? Celtic and Birds weren't Super team with 3 Hall of Famer?

    Bulls with Jordan also 3 Hall of Famers.

    Warriors will have only 2 Hall of Famers, what a weak team

    I will have to admit. . . . maybe Cleveland played it right
    Rested LeBron is looking great
    Can they beat Golden State . .. d*mn right
    While GS has Klay Curry, Durant, Draymond . . they all still play with one ball
    and NONE OF THEM CAN HANDLE LEBRON one on one
    Kyrie and Curry might be a draw
    Love is not better than Durant or Draymond but he is at least average
    If Love and Tristan just do work on the boards . . . . G.S. is definitely beatable

    The Sweep allows them the precious rest they crave . . . again . . . . .
    I think they sweep the next round too.

    And yet in most of his years with those teams, he still faced squads with as much, if not more talent than his. That includes every season in Cleveland.

    Listening to Raptors stars basically slurp Lebron is sickening. Saying "If he were on our team we'd win." Is the worst thing you can say as a competitor...wtf...if I were the GM/Owner, I'd ship them both out for what I could get.

    You'll never hear for instance Dame saying that even though his team was the 8th seed. He's going at it like "We're going to upset these guys."

    I mean really, that's TOO much credit. Say the man played well, say he was amazing...but that's too far man.
