KOT: Finals Predictions

I know I could go to the general board to see what people think, but I'm more curious what my fellow Magic fans think.
Warriors vs Cavs. Who you got?
I'm taking the Warriors in 5. I don't think the Cavs have been tested and I don't think they'll be able to keep up with the Warriors. I know they have Lebron, but the Warriors are too damn good. A lot of arguments I see are "Well the Cavs have Kyrie and Love this year, so they'll put up a better fight." Yea, but they weren't playing a 73 win team last season. lol
Could see it going 6 or 7 games, but it's tough for me to see anyone beating this team after what they just overcame against OKC.

I picked Warriors in 5 but I think there's a real chance they sweep.

Go Warriors! Own the Cavs at 7. LBJ is right, they are more stocked up this year with Love and Irving on board. Getting several shooters helped as well. Expecting to be a great series!

I'm hoping for a 7 game series because I like drama when the Magic aren't involved. So, Warriors in 7.

Magic aren't in it so I'm not watching but I think GS beats Cle in 7. I'll catch the highlights.

Warriors in 5. Love and Irving improve the Cavs offense from last finals, but they won't help more than they hurt the Cavs on defense. The Warriors will constantly abuse those 2 with the Curry/Green PnR. Cavs think they're cute by pairing Love and Frye together but that will get them killed defensively also. The Warriors will totally wear out those 2 together with the uptempo death lineup and will ruin them on the boards and in transition.

I really would like to see Cleveland win as Golden State is very unlikable. Draymond's antics and the whole "light years ahead" crap just erks me. However, what OrlandoNed said is spot on. So I've got GSW in 5. If Adams and Ibaka weren't able to contain Curry and Klay on PnR switches, then the Cavs big men are going to get abused.

Lebron Wines and Cries non-stop whenever he is fouled or thinks he is fouled. Heck, he cries even if he drives and nobody touches him.
He just may be the biggest winer and flopper of all time.
Watching Lebron play means spending more time watching him do this instead of actually playing the game.

i'm the exact opposite. I can't stand Lebron's flopping and crying about calls. While my opinion of Draymond has taken a step back since the last series (mostly because I do think one or two of the incidents were dirty), I like his energy. And Steph and Klay are stand up players IMO.

I'll take the W's in 6. Cavs are better than they were last year. But, so are the Warriors. After watching them beat a very game and damn good OKC, I don't think they sweat the Cavs too much.

I hate Lebron, Always have.
We are witnessing history with the dubs. Go Warriors.

Nothing will surprise me. Each team has the talent to get hot and dominate the other in a blowout or neutralize the other in a hard fought series.
But I'm cheering for Cleveland.

While I think the dubs might take it, there's this strange feeling that last year they had an easy time winning as every team was hobbled. I realize they're much better than last year, but I wouldn't count out the Cavs. They're at full strength and as much as I hate to say, I think the Cavs can take it in 6. Though if I'm wrong, I'll be happy to see them lose again. ^_^

Warriors in 5, maybe 6.
