May 29, 201511 yr Warriors in 7, dont think either team will win on the road, Cavs are getting alot more out of people than I thought they would, but Warriors are so good in transition, for the Cavs to win Lebron will have to average 28 plus with double figures in rebounding and assists. JR has been incredible for them and Thomspon is a beast on the glass. The long rebound is one of the Warriors strong points, even when they miss a 3 they tend to get the loose ball. Will be an awesome series to watch. If Cavs steal a game in Golden State it will be a great series, if its 2-0, its over rather quickly
May 29, 201511 yr I thought the Cavs would win in 6 ( losing games 2 and 5 on the road); but bleacher report is saying Klay is out indefintely, so I say Cavs in 5.
May 30, 201511 yr Cavs in a tight series. I cannot wait to watch Lebron guard Steph and Klay and Harrison and whomever else he needs to guard to win. Both teams are VERY capable of winning on the road which I think makes the series even better. Warriors have to be worried about Klay Thompson. This concussion thing could linger...
May 30, 201511 yr Obviously a lot depends on the health of Klay Thompson. I'm assuming Draymond Green will defend Lebron. Who defends Curry? Lebron?

May 31, 201511 yr Author Do not be surprised to see Dellavadova get a lot of playing time guarding Curry.
May 31, 201511 yr I think this series goes 7. Give me Golden State taking it at home. Pretty much nailed it the predictions thread. "Golden State and Cleveland. Just the two best teams. Cleveland will walk to the finals, Golden State will only be challenged by the Spurs. Houston would maybe take 2 games (from Golden State) if they played really really well. Maybe Spurs and Cleveland if SA can muster up enough energy to get there. They have a tough road. We all knew the West was going to be that way, though."
June 1, 201511 yr Cavs may play some small ball with Irving, Smith, Shump, LeBron and Mozgov/Thompson. Would help them with matchups in the series in the instances where GS goes small.
June 4, 201511 yr I feel like this is a good match-up for Cleveland. They've become a great defensive team with LeBron, Shumpert, and Smith out front guarding the perimeter. Stephen A. Smith compared it to the second Bull's teams with Jordan, Pippen, and Harper where teams couldn't get in to their sets because of the size out front. And on the interior Cleveland has some bonafide bigs that are solid at protecting the paint. The advantage Golden State has is homecourt, but match-up wise I am not seeing it leaning heavy one way or the other. Plus, I think the break in action may help Cleveland steal game 1.
