Cleveland looks really good and would be a good matchup for the Warriors. Still, there isn't that same no lead is safe feeling. I almost think that walking through the East can be a detriment.

More like Frye Irving and love as difference makers. And then since lebron won't have to shoulder an immense load the diffetence will be compounded even more.

Ya last yr I didn't think the cavs had much of a chance and was actually surprised they took the bulls with the injuries and suspension. This team is way different and lebron is playing a lot better too. He has bought into the system and is complementing his mates perfectly. And his jumper is actually falling which is important.

The inevitable fall isn't painful unless you're near the top imo. This is playing out perfectly for maximum lols

Steph is too good. I don't care if Cleveland can be ok on offense. You can't beat a team who has a guy who gets 3 points 45% of the time down the court no matter what you do.

In his last two games against the Warriors, epic Dray slayer Channing Frye has a total of 5 points in 54 minutes.

LeBron took Warriors to 6 games literally by himself last year. He can create at will and this year he can actually pass to viable options. Cleveland will have their way on offense.

Really depends on Curry's health and if DELLY can D him up/get one dirty hit in.

Gonna be so annoying when they announce that Curry is out 3 more weeks after overworking himself but the Spurs ****ed it up.

This is being disingenuous considering Tristan Thompson outplayed Draymond Green in that series

why dont people remember that CLE took GSW to 6 games last year without 2 top 25-30 players in the game?

last years finals showing by CLE and James was so ****ing sick

GS is better this year. Hence the greatest reg season record of all time. Curry is on another level then last season. He went from best player in the nba to the greatest offensive player to ever play the game.

The "took to 6 games" meme is such a lol loser look.

Congrats on winning 33% of the games, slightly worse than this years Knicks.

Maybe because the series wasn't that close, and because you are overstating how "sick" Lebron was. His scoring totals on a per minute basis were basically in line with his regular season totals. I'll admit that he rebounded like crazy.

But the bottom line was that his usage went up like crazy, and when they did, his counting stats went up a lot as well. But he wasn't particularly efficient, and his inability to take 35 shots a game efficiently is what ultimately cost the Cavs the series.

By the way, I don't blame Lebron for a minute. However inefficient he was, Lebron taking that many shots was still definitely the Cavs best option.

I guess my point is that last year's series seems close only because the Cavs won game two on the road by two points in a game where Curry was 5 for 23 from the field. At the time, the narrative was that Delladova had some magical ability to make Curry shoot poorly, but the reality was variance. Curry shoots that poorly maybe 1 out of 50 games, and if one of those games hadn't happened to come in that series, then the Warriors would have won in five, with the Cavs winning one game at home. And the collective reaction would have been a yawn.

Yup. Also as discussed, the woyas played way sub optimally with bogut in. If they played that series 100 times with the lineup in game 4, the woyas prob win ~87/100. It just wasn't very close. Kyrie and love make the team better but defensively they will be massively exposed by the goat & co.
