Dubs in 5.

Cavs win game 4 to avoid being swept.

West Champ = Best Champ

I feel all the pressure is on GSW so that edges Clev in my mind, GSW is the better team, Bron is the best player in the league.

If GSW wins in 4 or 5 last year was a fluke, if clev goes the distance or wins last year was legit and the GOAT conversation gets even more heated..

Is it 9pm EST time yet???

Warriors in 5. I really don't see how in the world Cleveland outscores Golden State 4 times in the series. That's what it boils down to. Cleveland's D is suspect, their only shot is to outshoot them for 4 games

I'm banking on GS's bench being really susceptible, especially when Mike Brown inexplicably sits Steph and KD at the same time. Cavs will be able to hang around in these games.

I'd like to see Cleveland again, but Golden State will get revenge against them this time around IMO, especially with Durant. Golden State wins in 6.

Doubtful considering he was more of a drive by guy anytime the Cavs lost, and since there has been only one loss in the playoffs for the Cavs, it's real tough to see who would should up outside of a few usual suspects.

OldSchoolAlpha actually stopped posting on 6/13/16, about 3 hours before game 5

Here was his last post

I'm taking Cleveland.

They were up 2-1 in 2015 with Irving and Love out.

They rallied back from down 3-1 with Love barely contributing, last year against the greatest regular season team in NBA history.

The Warriors have added Durant. That's a big deal.

But I think Cleveland is a tougher and more physical team. I think they've proven they can score at close to the same pace as GS.....

I realize everyone is picking GS. I like them. I would take them in any other scenario.

But I'm taking Lebron and the Cavs. They overcame them last year.

This. I see no logical reason to expect Cleveland to win the series. Any predictions with them winning are banking on a level of play we haven't seen.

I don't understand how they get to use "revenge" as motivation.

If someone gets their arse kicked in a fight, then they go and get Mike Tyson to help them win the fight and they win it, how is that proving anything about their ability to exact revenge? It's not real revenge. They just stacked the deck so they couldn't lose.

I don't understand how this myth got started. I'm a huge LeBron fan, but Durant was an absolute beast in the 2012 Finals. He averaged over 30/game on 55% shooting and 40% from 3. Westbrook and Harden were just pathetic and they had no shot as a result.

If Cleveland goes down 0-2 this place will be insufferable until next Wednesday.

I'm expecting Durant to get his every game.

Steph is the key. If Steph gets any kind of confidence, this will probably be a short series. I'm hoping they rough him up a little bit and that throws him off his game.

Cavs in 5. Not smart to bet against the King. All of the BS talk about GS having a chip on their shoulder doesn't compare to Brons passion to be the greatest. It's gone be good
