Series tips off at 9 on Thursday.

 

Let's get right to the big question. How many games before Kyrie doing his laundry becomes a meme?

Finals starts on Thursday if Cleveland plays as they have been should be one heck of a series. What's everyone else think about this years finals.

Poll?

Warriors in five if the Warriors win the first 2. Warriors in 7 if the Cavs manage to win one of the first 2.

Cavs in 6

Cavs in 6. Lebron is coming for his title of Best Player on the Planet. Plus he has a healthy team this year. I like their chances.

If it goes 7 games then Golden State wins.

Those first two games are the most important. Even though the Cavs had a fairly easy road to the finals because the east is so weak. They are still very confident and have lots of momentum and momentum is huge. This will be the first top team they have seen in almost 2 months. So they need that confidence and momentum they have to help them pull off one of the first 2 games. Plus I think the Cavs were a better defensive team last year with the players they had to use against the Warriors. I don't think their other top star players Match up as well defensively as they did last year against the Warriors. So they will have to continue to be great on offense to have a shot imo.

Cavs in 6, but they must win 1 of first 2.

As long as LeBron keeps his teammates involved, I like the Cavs chances. I think JR Smith can shut down Thompson. Draymond Green reminds me of Bill Laimbeer. One dirty player!

 

Somebody needs to send Curry to the floor and wipe that smile off his face. Need to send the message to expect violent contact on the way to the rim.

Warriors in five. Draymond Green is about to Go crazy in this series.

Is LeBron the greatest? That is what this series is about. He has enough of a cast around him to prove he truly is the greatest. Can he carry this team to the title? Going to be fun to watch.

If JR Smith can "shut down" Klay Thompson, then the Cavs may sweep.

 

One thing I have learned about Curry, he ain't no punk. I think people see his smile and slender stature and assume weakness. He is not that.

Cavs really probably should have dusted off Mozgov some in the previous series. Me quietly had a very good series against the Warriors last year.

 

Bench play is huge. This year Cleveland has a better bench, it's not Golden State's but no one's is.

 

Smith can't shut down Thompson, not discipline enough. Just have to hope he pesters him. Shumpert needs to make some shots offensively so they can play him.

 

Cavs need a rotation of guys to go against Curry. Irving will start on him, Delly will come in and likely try to injure him, in the crunch time minutes LBJ may have to take him.

 

Love and Thompson have to punish Golden State on the board and make them play a big man at all times.

Fatigue has to play a factor, doesn't it? That is what I find most remarkable about the Warriors' run this season. They have played playoff intensity basketball virtually all season in search for 73 wins. People went at the Warriors with all they had and they continuously rose to the challenge . LeBron took scheduled rests, has an array of players around him, minutes are down, and he looks as good as ever... if not at his playing peak, he is at his efficiency peak.
