    Nice post.

    Yeah, after coming back from the death, I don't see the GSW farking up again. Cleveland, despite being healthy, does not have the tall, athletic bigs that gave the Warriors so much trouble.

    Warriors in 5 or 6.

    Sure, he or she should already lose some money on betting the Cavs's winning last year.

    Cavs easily win in 6 games. Lebron shows the world who the real MVP is!:rolleyes:Curry is an overrated chump!:grin:

    Stephen Curry will have a MVP series.

    LET'S GO WARRIORS!

    Warriors are the most overrated team ever! 73-9 but can't win the championship! LOL! It don't mean a thing without a ring! The King will be crowned a 3rd time!:eek:

    Is that because Bosh will have to retire? :confused: Interesting prediction.

    LeBron James overcame all the odds and dragged by far the most talented in the East through the East. He's the little engine that could.

    If only every team had the heart, and also was the best team in their conference by a significant margin.

    This is high stakes series. Almost double or nothing for Curry due to Cleveland's health. If they lose, they go home with a asterisk on their title. If they win they double down and get the street cred. For Lebron, his legacy either matches kobe and closes in on Lebron, or he is considered a great player who had no clutch gene. So huge stakes. Great series as the two stars compete for their legacy.

    I think the Finals record part will go away with time. How many people remember that the Logo, Jerry West, was 1-8 in the Finals?

    As the beginning of the series nears, I'm feeling better about the Cavs chances. I truly feel the previous series with OKC may have taken a lot out of the Warriors. I believe the Cavs are hungrier and can take it. Should be a great series.

    This if the first Finals in a long time where I felt we were about to watch an epic series. Probably since those old Lakers/Celtics series.

    Key to series, definitely Draymond Green. If he makes Kevin Love his b**** then Cleveland is toast. I think Love is soft so unfortunately I'll go Warriors in seven.

    Warriors in 6. I want to say 5 but NBA will be sure to stretch it out 2 games if not 3.

    I want Cleveland to win so bad. GS winning it again would just be another forgettable season for me.
