    I say Warriors in 5. Curry is just going to abuse Klove everytime. He won't be able to stay on the court.

    I think Cleveland will play Lebron at the 4 sometimes. Cleveland will sure put a line up of 5 shooters on the floor, it will be interesting to see. If both team healthy, I'm picking the Warriors, of course :) Cheers to another great series.

    Cavs just have too many weaknesses

    Irving: defense
    Smith: dumb shot taking, streaky, undisciplined
    Lebron: shaky, hesitant jumpshooting
    Love: defense, slow
    Thompson: true PF, bad FT shooter, lack of post moves

    This will be so one-sided... likely won't tune in. Curry and Klay will probably average 35/game.

    Will Joey Crawford come out of retirement to have one last say?

    Tom Tolbert on Bay Area radio yesterday put it in very simple terms.

    The Warriors, in any 7 game series, will win at least ONE game on the road. Book it. So then, the other team, to win the series, will have to win TWO games on the Warriors home court. They only lost two games there all regular season.

    So, it's overwhelmingly likely in that simple picture for the Warriors to win. It's a pretty simple but pretty solid analysis. So basically Cleveland CANNOT lose one at home. Not even one.

    Warriors will put Kevin Love in a lot of pick and roll situations, make him react, move his feet and to get him away from rebounding position.

    If you are so sure, you should bet all your money on this game.

    Uh... how are they going to give CLE the advantage for opponent's TO per game, when CLE has a lower number?

    If Cleveland can keep their 3 point shooting up then I think this has to potential to be a great series.

    We may witness LeBron take it to a level we have never seen him reach before. He's been able to keep himself pretty fresh with the cake walk they've had through the playoffs.

    Hopefully it's an exciting series and not one sided either way.
