Yep. I think there is a much better chance it goes 7 than there is of it being a sweep.

I actually found an article that backs up what I'm saying. Cleveland is rated 3rd out of all playoff teams in playoff experience.

Inexperienced #1 seeds typically underperform, whereas lower seeds with high experience (2011 Mavs) outperform.

Didn't both teams that year had roughly the same amount of experience though?

Same. I also think the Cavs have the shooters from range to close the gaps when the Warriors end a hot run. GS tends to get super hot and then let off of the gas. With Lebron on the court, any game is winnable. He just has to hope his role players are up for it unlike last year.

The Cavs have one guy with a lot of experience. Are we supposed to be comparing them to the 2011 Mavs?

In the NBA where player's performances are so interdependent on one another, one player (your best player) who has his wits about him in a stressful situation can make a huge difference. If the general is calm, the troops will be calm.

The Warriors may very well be good enough to beat the Cavs in spite of their inexperience. We'll see. Besides, it would be pretty boring if everyone on here were picking the Warriors for the next week.

I certainly wouldn't bet on any of these games though. And I'm a betting man.

Limit Curry and the 3 point game and the Cavs will have a shot. But most important limit the 3, Memphis did it twice and won both times.

I think it's possible, but I also think LeBron is always capable of winning a game by himself.

Warriors win a somewhat close game 1

Warriors win a blowout in game 2

Cavs win a blowout in game 3

Warriors steal game 4

Warriors rout game 5

MSB shits itself regardless.

I think they win one or two, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised by a sweep.

Yeah the Warriors have been super vulnerable at home this year. Who loses 3 games at home all season?

I guess it makes sense for them to have such shitty home court advantage given how quiet that arena is during games

If the Warriors go up 2-0 and they get up early in game 3, LeBron will quit.
