If Golden State faced a healthy Cavs team last year with Green and Klay, the Cavs would win that series in 5.

I don't think it's far fetched to say the Cavs may have won. In 5? Idk. I don't remember how the first couple games went, but I could have seen the Cavs in 6

I do. This season has shown that. They would have torched a healthy Cavs team trying to play an uptempo style with Kevin Love and Kyrie trying to defend the PnR.
To say a healthy Cavs team would win in 5 is straight up retarded.
The Cavs found success by limiting possessions, earning extra one's for themselves through turnovers and OReb's, and having the best player in basketball basically take every shot. Outside of the obvious of having LeBron it is the same formula the Grizzlies used to have success against them in last years playoffs and largely what the Spurs have tried to use against them. When the Warriors aren't making shots and turning the ball over a lot it works, but they are just too damn good for that to work over a 7 game series.

Cavs went ice cold in OT (not coincidentally when Kyrie broke his kneecap) and lost Game 1. Won Game 2 in OT. They may have been better last year without Love (although they have started using him more over the last few weeks with good results) but losing Kyrie was an absolute killer in that series. Game 1 was very winnable if he doesn't go down, and the Cavs would have been up 3-0 had that happened.
The Cavs had Kyrie for most of Game 1 and didn't try to outrun Golden State. They played the same style they did for the rest of the series, just with Kyrie instead of Dellavedova.
