CLE is not the better team


This is why I want this series to be over. It's like delaying the inevitable. And it's not a Lebron hate/Warrior love thing. It would be different if these were 2 evenly matched teams and was a complete toss up of who could win. I would be wanting a Game 7 then. I just don't feel that way.

But you were saying CLE isn't the better team to make the point why it won't go 7. So I said CLE has the best player which could possibly make up for not being the best team

I think GS will win...and, I think I am okay with that.


Because I would not want to get my hopes up for a decent game ... knowing that GS would likely blow-out the Cavs in a GS in Oracle.


I really want a good game tonight.


I don't really care who wins the series.

Because game 3 never happened. Why do people think Kyrie and LeBron have to repeat what they did in game 5 to win again? That isn't the first time they won, and before melting at the end of the 3rd beginning of the 4th they were leading the way in game 4.
They don't have to, but if they don't, now CLE is reliant upon Love or JR Smith to have a good game. Of course it can happen, I just would't bet on those 2 at this point.

How many seasons in his career was Tim Duncan the best player in the world?

You think CLE has no chance, or if it goes game 7 CLE's chance of winning is so small it's not even worth your interest?

If Kyrie keeps playing like he does Cleveland has a chance to win this series.

Kyrie's style of play is pretty effective against the Dubs.

Not what I was saying. I actually went on to say why CLE has more than a shot to win tonight

I just don't think CLE will win the series. I'm fully aware that CLE playing near-perfect with the best player on the floor could be more than enough to force a game 7.

Just hoping my pick is correct, obviously not a lock by any means.

Cleveland winning the series would be the biggest shock in sports for me personally.

Of course I would still watch a Game 7, but I don't give the Cavs a shot at winning it.

And I agree with you. My point is every game has been different in deciding the winner. If I would have told you that GS loses a game where Klay scores 37 and Curry scores 25 and they will still lose by double digits you wouldn't believe me. It's just a reoccurring meme that no one thinks Kyrie and LeBron can repeat what they did in game 5 so they will lose. That is so reactionary.

Game 7, Cavs have zero shot?

Just trying to understand your take here. What % chance do you give CLE to win tonight, and if so, game 7, hypothetically?

The game is in Cleveland, so it wouldn't really surprise me if someone else caught fire.

Me personally, yes. I just see GS as being the superior team.

Aside from an injury or Draymond suspension, I give them no chance. That's just me. I guess 50/50 tonight...yeah hot take there. But 1% chance Cleveland wins in G7.

Yup. Role players typically play better at home.

Cleveland has a pretty good chance of winning at home tonight. Then, Game 7 with LeBron James? Who knows? He may go ape.

Looking at it objectively, you would think Cleveland had no chance in a 7-game series. But now, it's not a 7-game series. It's two games, with the first one at home for Cleveland. That really changes things.

Do you even know why a series is played? If Cavs force a game 7, the Warriors clearly aren't as superior as you are alluding too, regular season records aside.

Gotta go with the Cavs. I picked them before the series so why not.... But Bron gonna have to put together a game like the last one for them to have a chance.
