Cavs in 7.

its not about what lebron wants. its about who has the better players and the better team. and thats the warriors easily. warriors in 6, max.

Lebron single-handedly won 2 games against GS in the finals last year without Love or Irving. So yes, Lebron actually does have some say in the matter.

yeah, one individual is not winning against the better team, sorry. especially in a 7 game series. sure, maybe the cavs take one or two games... at the end of the day, its about more than just one player.

Golden State. The match ups are horrible for the Cavs. LOL Irving, Smith and Love all are basically pylons. Lebron is going to have to carry big time

I've had GS over Cleveland in 6 since I made my playoff bracket and I'm sticking to it. I think Draymond Green is one of the most irritating personalities in the league, but I can't stand LeBron and his antics.

As an aside, how funny would it have been if OKC won Game 7 and then the championship and Dion Waiters got a ring before Cleveland did?

Cavs in 6. Expect Lebron to go all out. He's not going to lose it this year

Golden State matches up too well with Cleveland... and Lebron is no longer the best player in the world. This series will remind people that Curry just had a GOAT level season

Sweep for GSW

Heart says GSW but I think I'd be surprised if Bron lets this one slip away...critics will be all over him if he does.

I don't see how the Cavs win this, but I hope they do. I hate Draymond Green after that last series. It's criminal how much he gets away with on defense. You let us defend the way he does and our defense would be significantly better too. This guy is explicitly tackling players and getting away with the foul. Every flagrant he commits is a normal foul. I doubt it happens but that take down on Adams needs to be reviewed, could have broken his arm.

It's going to be unwatchable basketball if both teams try and out three each other. Anyway, it's a precursor of many future NBA finals, I think. League has to start thinking about the ever increasing impact of the three point shot, perhaps limiting the number of shots that can count for three points to 12 or 15. If they don't it will become a circus show like it's been this year with the Cavs and Warriors in the playoffs. It's making the game very one dimensional.

GS in 7

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.

Only way Cavs beat the warriors is slowing the game down and that's not Tyronn Lues specialty, Lebron has to decide for himself whether to slow the game down and play half court. Warriors will blow the cavs away if they decide to matchup playing small ball and bomb treys mano mano.

Same with me. I can't stand either of these teams. I was hoping OKC or SAS would win.

I'm pulling for the CAVS here & that says a lot because I'm not a fan of LBJ.

If this gets into a track meet, 3 point contest, GS wins this easily.

Cavs need to play a little bigger than they did in previous rounds and Lebron will need to take over games offensively, like he did in game 6 against the Raps. This series is really on him to dominate. Passive Lebron isn't going to cut it.

Who will win?
