Dubs in 5.

The Cavs match up really well with OKC but not so much the Dubs.

Fry on who? Green? Oh no!

This is such a match made in heaven. Not even do to the fact of rematch and stupid story lines. I just think the play styles of both teams are perfect for an NBA final matchup. Just pure, skill, on either side. Which makes it damn near impossible to call.

I had Cavs winning it all since probably half way through the Hawks series. Offence just too good. I'm gonna stand by that. BUT if there's anyone in the association that can hang with that offence as well as their playing it's the Warriors. This one should go the distance and has the makings of a classic methinks.

Hope everyone stays healthy.

I want GSW in 6 but worry about CLE in 7, so LeBron can leave and GSW won't be as hungry next year lol

I think I'll be rooting for Cleveland? I dislike Lebron and Curry, but the Warriors are just so arrogant I think I've got to root for the underdog here. A win would also cement Lebron as the best SF to ever play the game, if he's not already.

I'm going to wager Warriors win this in 7, with home court advantage being the difference maker. Cleveland didn't look like the same team in Toronto and the Oracle is just as loud.

Really torn here. Cant stand the GSW fans and Green, but Cavs eliminated us and cant stand LBJ either.

Just look at the matchups:

Love on Barns?

Curry vs Irving

Klay vs JR

Lebron vs Iggy.

Dre vs Fry?

If the Cavs play small - they will lose. If they try to out gun the Warriors from the 3 point line - its over.

The Cavs are shooting 43% from the 3 on 33 attempts per game. Warriors are shooting 40% on 30 attempts per game.

The Cavs are doing this strictly in the half court. Their pace was 2nd lowest only behind Pistons/tied with the Grizz. They are metholodical in their precision. Warriors on the other hand are playing at the fastest pace, and Thunder/Blazers/Rockets all tried to match them and failed.

I don't see how the Warriors make the Cavs change anything in their half court sets.
