Do you all think Golden State will win tonight in Cleveland? It seems like the Cavs will the be favorites tonight since they are back at home.

It all depends on Motivation-- how determined are the Warriors to not just repeat but to be remembered as the Greatest Team of All-Time. Because a Finals Sweep over the #1 Seed in the East that themselves came in on one of the All-time playoff runs would be one hell of a trump card.

At this point the gap is so great that what the Cavs do is basically immaterial unless Lebron goes for 50.

You're ridiculous with this crap.

So according to you:

1. Steph and Thompson are just coasting. That's why they haven't played that great.

2. The Warriors are just coasting as a team.

3. Lack of motivation will be the main reason they may lose a game at home.

Nevermind that they are -17 on the road in the playoffs compared to home and the Cavs are +20 at home compared to the road.

If the Cavs are going to win a game, it's this one....it's just hard to see it though.

I know everyone says losing Love helps, but I don't think Frye is the answer either, plus it just really hurts from a depth standpoint.

I'd say 60% chance GS wins which is pretty high considering it is a Finals game on the road against Lebron James.

But KLove is hurt and the Cavs have been outclassed most of this series.

How many 20 plus losses will it take before you admit the Cavs aren't in the same league as the Warriors? You have a new metric to pull out of your arse after anyone points out the obvious

Home court advantage does not make 33 point wins happen hombre

They aren't in the same league, but OKC lost by 30 in game 2 and were down by almost 20 at one point in game 1.

Yet, they demolished GSW at home.

Maybe not, but what did you think after OKC lost by 30?

My point is that there have been huge swings home and away for these two teams in these playoffs.

Well the Cavs were arguably better (better record 2-0 against OKC including a blowout on the road). I'll even concede OKC was a bit better, but out of their league is just recency bias based off of a moral victory.

Hardly. Everyone understood that the WCF was the real Finals. Just as it usually is.

100% and it's going to be a blitz. Another 30 piece by the Warriors on the road.

Love out is a psychological boon to Lebron. Lebron absolutely needs to have an bigger personal imprint on the game and with Love out he'll have no choice but to carry more of the load.

I don't think anyone means that Frye's a better player than Love, but at least you know what you're getting with Frye.

In the last 4 years, it is 2-2

In the last 10 years, it is 6-4 for the west
