Me personally, yes. I just see GS as being the superior team.
I'd say, off the top of my head real quick, both Super Bowls the Giants won were more suprising than CLE winning a title, as probably the 3rd best team in the NBA's regular season.

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.

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.
And ironically...or is it coincidentally...I'd venture to guess they're around the same 25% mark right now, if that.

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.
This is how I see the series...Warriors laid an egg in Game 3. No one thought this was going to be a sweep. Game 4, they took care of business...Game 5, Draymond gets suspended. I feel so strongly that this series is over if Draymond plays. I feel the Cavs have enough to win a 2nd home game. I respect the Cavs enough for that. So I give them a chance here in Game 6 to get a win. But going 7 games doesn't sway me a lot knowing that it should have been over in 5.

Football is 1 game...anything can happen. So that's why.

I think so, too.
The while tenor of this series changed after Game 5 because it's a 2 game series all of a sudden. CLE shouldn't win, but it's not outside the realm of possibility at this point by any means, especially if they figure out how to replicate game 5 from a clutch shooting standpoint.

But I've seen enough to be able to decide who the better team is. That's my point. That's why it would be the biggest shock to me, because I'm so sure that the Warriors are better and I can't possibly see the Cavs beating them in a 7 game series.

But the better team doesn't always win in a 1 game sample size.

First, even if it's only 12 minutes of Bogust missing, Draymond is now going to basically be the rim protector for almost the entire game. Draymond seems like a guy that to get the absolute max out of him, he kinda has to be that guy that is on the edge, kinda dirty, always teetering between over the line and not. Can he be full Draymond if he has to scale that part of him back a bit? Maybe, and probably. But I can also see him being a bit too timid trying to protect the rim or just in general because he can't be playing on the edge because if he gets another flagrant in game 6, he knows he has to sit out game 7.

Add in the fact that it would be 3 straight losses for GS...it's very hard to fathom.

Excellent point.
I think both teams treat this loke a Game 7, but Draymond emotionally will have to check himself. Difficult for an emotional player to be as effective when he's restraining himself.
