    Obviously Cavs and hopefully Durant plays poorly.

    Cavs.

    Know a few warriors fans personally from the Bay Area. They didn't root heavy for the Warriors until Curry and Klay and Green resurrected the franchise. Bandwagons in their own city. And when Durant went there it got even worse.

    The majority of the fan base are fair weather and entitled fans when they're winning.

    So with all that said, go Lebron and Cavs.

    I'm firing on warriors to sweep. But if I think the cavs can cover I'll pick them in certain games. And I'm taking the over the whole series. So I will probably root for the warriors to win, but not by a whole lot so the cavs cover, and I want lots of points. Basically i want the warriors to win 122-120 each game.

    I just want this to be the most boring finals ever and it should feel cheap and unearned for Durant. I think that if there's a strong enough narrative of him winning an empty pointless championship there's a small chance he wont resign.

    Lol. People always complain that they want some nuanced option that's not there.

    I would dislike Lebron winning by considerably less. Therefore, Lebron.

    No way. They already won 70+ games and are the first team (I believe?) to go 12-0 in the playoffs. They could beat the Cavs by 50 in a 4 game sweep and that will only seal the deal that we'll never stop hearing about this team as the greatest of all-time. Kevin Durant will be laughing on every cereal box because he won a ring with the team he couldn't beat himself. Please, no.

    Also, a little off-topic but I loathe how useless the Eastern conference has been for the past 15 years.

    Well it may just be the greatest team of all time and a dynasty is almost inevitable. That's why it has to be known that this team is not the product of hard work and heart but of cowardice and cheap garbage. We have to enforce a narrative that will get KD to regret his decision and maybe leave cause honestly no one's really gonna be challenging them except LeBron. It has to feel like they were gonna win with or without him.

    I like Lebron. Probably because he is in the East and we never play him in the playoffs. I see why he runs people the wrong way. When he said "we will take a look at it" after harden kicked him in the lebrons it irked me. Like dude is player, GM, coach, and official NBA testicle investigator. Hope he ****s the Warriors in their shitters

    Unlikely.
    But, what about a falling rocket that just quit and stopped working and no one could stop the impending doom of its downward trajectory. There might be one of those.

    Nobody will think that except die hard people. Everyone including the casual fan is results based. They'll just say KD and the Warriors were the most dominant team ever. MJ and the Bulls destroyed everyone for two three year runs but nobody said anything how their rings weren't legit.

    I'll be a Cavs fan for about 2 weeks starting in June. F*** GS, **** KD, ****Curry, **** overrated Klay, and **** dirty donkey Green.

    I hope KD remains ringless and Lebron makes both KD and Curry his sons once again. I hope Kyrie gives Steph that work.

    what durant did is beyond disgusting, adding that onto this GS team which gets so lucky everytime with injured opponents one after another, it is hard to not root for their opponent whoever that might be

    Clearly Warriors are the favorite having two top 5 players, arguably two of the top 3 players. along with superstar role players and a great system. Spurs on steroids really. However LeBron is my favorite non Rocket player so I'll always root for him unless he plays against Houston.

    I just want to see a good, competitive, entertaining series, that goes 6 or 7, with some close games.

    Unfortunately, if the Warriors consistently bring their A game, they'll end this series in 4 or 5, with most games being blowouts.

    If you put a third option "Next Season" in there, I bet it would have won.

    When in doubt, I usually cheer for Ken M:
