I think GS played poorly the last 2 games against Utah, but because Utah both came off a 7 game series and also, well, aren't great, they lost.
GSW still won by doubt digits, and frankly Utah is Probably better than any east team other than Cleveland.

GSW will be a fairly significant favorite against the Cavs. Obviously anything is possible, and last year is a prime example, but Cavs beating GSW would be a big upset, probably moreso than last year if it wasn't for the 3-1 deficit.

I don't think Utah could beat Boston in a series and possibly the Wizards either. That is just my opinion though and means little I know.

I realize anything can happen, and I do expect GS to be the favorite, but they don't have Lebron.

I remember when Chicago had marginal chance against the Phoenix Suns or against Seattle Supersonics.

Both of those teams were playing incredible basketball (especially Phoenix) with better all-around talent. They didn't have Jordan though. That means something.

My money is on Lebron without question.

Only 6 finals? Lol

Maybe if MJ was better in elimination games Lebron wouldn't have more Finals appearances than him

Losing in the earlier rounds is better than losing in the finals?

Obviously. Just like not getting accepted into college out of high school is better than not getting into the most prestigious residency out of medical school.

Why is this such an important thing for you people????


OK... From 1991 to 1997 WHEN MJ was playing.. He NEVER lost in playoff time...


How hard is that to figure out........

He had the better team around him in each series. LeBron did not. It's staggering how people gloss over this, and how people gloss over the fact that Jordan couldn't beat Detroit for years.

When Jordan took his baseball sabbatical, Chicago won 55 games and got to Game 7 of the ECSF. When LeBron left Cleveland for the first time, the Cavs went 19-63 the next season.

Also, none of the teams Jordan beat in the Finals were as good as Golden State was last year.

This is true... And those Piston teams are WAY better than ANY team Bron has EVER played in the FINALS.............

BRON lost to A VERY crappy team in Dallas in 2011......... FACT.........
