Don't really like either one of these teams but dislike the Cavs the least so I will be rooting for them. Warriors probably winning the series though. Sigh...
I'm not sure they were worse off without Kyrie and Love. The thing with the Cavs in the finals last year was that they had to adjust the game and slow the game down tremendously, which put a wrinkle in the Warrior's offense. They were able to adjust and dominate the last 3 games. With Kyrie and Love, the Cavs are relegated to playing the Warrior's brand of basketball. They're trying to be a high powered offense, but they're not nearly as good as Golden State at it.
Don't think its possible for Cleveland to lose this series. They took them to 6 games with all those injuries last year and Curry isn't the same this time around. Cleveland in 6.
Are you kidding? They weren't worse off? Did you see LeBron by the end of that series? He had nothing left in the tank. The Cavs would've won the title last year had they been fully healthy. Having Kyrie and Kevin this time around is gonna be huge. It doesn't guarantee a different outcome, but it does mean LeBron doesn't have to play 46 minutes a game and completely wear himself out.
Warriors will win, they are the mentally strong team that overcame some major adversity aka 95 Rockets , don't ever under estimate.. yeah
They would have lost in 5 if Kyrie and Love were playing. They won two games only because they slowed the game down, and GSW didn't adjust to their game plan. Now, they're trying to be GSW, but they're not...
I think this will be a great series, better than last year's matchup. I could easily see this Finals going the full 7 games. That said, I predict Cavs in 6.
The Cavs lost because they didn't have enough scoring options to keep up with the Warriors. Golden State just wore them down from Game 4 onward.
Have you been watching the Cavs over in the Eastern Conference playoffs? They're doing just fine this postseason with those 2 guys in the lineup. BTW, one thing that can't be overlooked is that the Warriors may be exhausted following this 3-1 comeback. The Finals tip off in just 3 days. There will be extra days to rest between a lot of the games, but the Cavs are gonna be way more rested given their easy path through the East.
