Cleveland vs Golden State vs any other finals combinations, what would you say has better odds of happening?

Essentially a question of the probability that GSW and CLE are healthy vs at least one of them being unhealthy.

The Spurs are done.

Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge + scrubs and declining has beens like Parker and Ginobili isn't enough to upset the Warriors. That's a Sweep.

Barring an LBJ injury or multiple Warriors injuries I don't trust any of these teams to beat these two super teams. That said I think the field will expose a blue-print to beat them by pushing them 6-7 games.

The Cavs don't even have to be healthy to get through the East. As long as LBJ is out there, they're in the finals. Can't see the Spurs upsetting a 73 win team - Bogut but plus Durant.

Looks like nearly a lock this year. One thing I have learned though, is not to predict too far ahead.

Unless we see an injury, no doubt it's gonna be cavs vs warriors

Spurs winning without Timmy D? I'll believe it when I see it.

A Lebron injury is the only thing that could derail this. Curry OR Durant OR Klay AND Dray injury and GSW would still pretty easily make the finals.

Why? They are done for couple of years now. They can't beat GSW. They even struggled against Clippers and OKC.

I don't know about easily. When curry was injured last year it took some crazy shooting from klay to get them past okc. They'll have a better chance with KD, but curry is really what makes them go. He needs to be healthy.

While I agree the Spurs won't and can't beat the Warriors, would you mind telling me how guys Danny green, pau gasol, patty mills are "scrubs"? I'm sure plenty of teams would have those scubs on their team

Yeah they had trouble against OKC without Curry...just think about that now. No one is standing in the Warriors way even without Curry at this point.

This question is basically ''do I think Lebron James will get injured?'' and since it hasn't happened yet I wouldn't be on it.

The Spurs are coming off a 67 win season and just upgraded from an aged Duncan to Pau Gasol. LMA has a year under his belt. The Spurs are still contenders, but they're not beating the Warriors. No team is.
The Cavs aren't runaway favorites from the East. The Raptors put up a good fight, although I think they got lucky getting past the Heat last season, and the Pacers have a stacked team this year.

Although I think we'll see another GS VS CLE finals, with GS coming out on top, Id love to see the Raptors come out the East and the Blazers come out the West....but thats not gonna happen.
