I can't find an advantage for the Cavs other than LeBron being LeBron


It's going to be interesting to see how GS defends him. Do they just man up & risk him going off, or do they do what ATL is doing with the double teams? If they chose to double Lebron constantly, the same looks the Cavs role players are getting against ATL will be there against GSW. It would be a case of knocking those shots down.

And i agree with that point


Lebron got all the credit for his scoring & how he orchestrated the Cavs offense last night but Thompson was beast on the boards. You gotta appreciate those types of guys. Green's trash talking can rub some people the wrong way but he plays with that same type energy. As an opposing fan, you hate when your team goes up against someone like that but you would also love to have them on your squad

The Warriors can throw all sorts of bodies at him. Plus they have length at basically every position so when someone does get loose they can fly around and cause havoc.

Their defense is basically we have bunch of lengthy athletes, an elite rim protector, and a PF who can guard anyone on the floor for the most part.

Tristan Thompson is a fantastic offensive rebounder, but that is also a huge weakness for ATL. Has been all season.

I wish Love and Kyrie were healthy because it would likely be an all-timer series

I get that but when you swarm him, he sees the court so well that slices your defense with precision passes to wide open teammates. Just look at what he has did against the Bulls & what he is doing to the Hawks. He learned something from that Spurs sweep in the Finals a year ago & is applying it to the Cavs this postseason. What he learned is there is no defense for great ball movement.

I agreed. I think the Warriors win in 6 but it should be a competitive 6 games.
