OFFICIAL Warriors/Cavs Prediction Thread
Posted on 5/28/15 at 12:02 pm
Posted on 5/28/15 at 12:02 pm
Sometime later this summer, the NBA Finals will be played. I saw there was another sort of prediction thread a few pages back, but I don't care about that one.
I think this current Cavs team is better than the 2014 Heat. Tristan Thompson makes them so much better than they really are, because they get a zillion extra possessions per game.
Warriors are better offensively and defensively, have home court advantage, a better coach, more good players, etc. The only advantage Cleveland really has is LeBron, which is enormous; given he is the best player in the NBA and one of the top two players ever.
Draymond Green is the key to the series, for me. He'll have times where he guards LeBron and Tristan Thompson, he'll have to hit some threes, rebound on the defensive end, and play his normal dirty game. Klay Thompson's concussion syndromes suck. Hopefully he's full strength for the Finals.
If the Warriors win it all, they'll probably cement themselves as one of the three best teams since the turn of the century, given their regular season win total, efficiency, and playoff dominance up to this point. I think they are a better team than the Cavs and they have home court, so they're my pick. Hard to imagine it only going 5 games, but that's exactly what happened last season to a LeBron team. If it does go 6, it would be tough to predict the Cavs losing on their home floor to close out the series. However, the Warriors have dominated some good teams on the road in this postseason, so maybe it'll happen again.

Rooting for Bron, but I honestly think it will be a wipeout the other way.

Cavs in 6 (if this really happens Cleveland will burn to the ground)

How real will the rust be on both sides in Game 1?
They should just cancel it and move on to Game 2.

Rust is real. Game 1 should just be chalked up as a draw.

kinda shocked to see all the people thinking it ends before a game 7.
I think GS is the better team easily, but Cle presents some matchup problems. Starting with Lebron. He'll have his way. I kinda like Lebron and Shumpert's length against the splash brothers. Will guys like irving and JR Smith continue to hit open 3's that Lebon gets them? IDK. We shall see.
I like Golden State winning in 7. I think this will be one of the most entertaining finals in recent memory.

Why? Golden State can throw Iguodala, Draymond, Harrison Barnes, and Klay on him.

Did you see what he did against the Warriors in their second game against each other? 42 points.
