Cavs in 6

Heart says LeBron finally brings a title to Cleveland. Head says Cleveland is not half as physical a team as OKC and Kyrie and Love are liabilities on defense. GS in 6

I think the Cavs will be lucky to win 2.....Warriors in 5.

Warriors in 6. OKC is a better team than the Cavs (not by much) and they couldn't beat Golden State. I also think being on the brink of elimination woke the Warriors up. I think they'll play better in the Finals.

When Curry and Thompson combine for 20 points on 8-27 shooting, you had better beat GS. Not sure Game 1 could have gone any worse for the Cavs.

LeBron's legs could have fallen off.

I actually don't expect Thompson to play any better than he did in game 1 (nor Green). He was awful in last years finals and expect him to be awful this year (Green was pretty awful last year as well). Curry will obviously be better, but I don't expect him to have a monster series. I expect the result to come down to the Warriors lesser players and I can't see Bogut, Livingston, and Barbosa going 18 for 22 in any other game in the series. I'm still going with Cavs in 6.

With Lebron on Curry, he might not have better games, but Thompson certainly will. Given the FG %s of Bogut, Livingston, and Barbosa, combined with the sub-par defenders matching-up with them, I would expect at very least 50% in every game. Guess we'll see.

my view is Curry & Thompson had awful games in gale 1 and the Warriors still won easily. If LeBron has an awful game I don't think there's any way the Cavs win a game.

Guess I was wrong. It could have gone like game 2.

The difference in talent level on the teams is pretty obvious. Cavs are probably the fourth best team in the NBA.

pretty much. embarrassing game from the Cavs all the way around.

Did somebody drug the W's team water cooler or what? Hard to imagine them shooting like that as a team. Guess the Cavs deserve some credit. On a different note, who will Kevin Love be playing for next season, because it looks more and more like it isn't going to be Cleveland.

Cavs definitely deserve some credit. The W's were awful, but the Cav's defense had something to do with it. I'm still waiting for Curry to have a Curry type game in the Finals.

Thompson and Curry have been fairly consistent in this series, the Warriors role players have decided all these games and role players generally play much worse on the road than they do at home, which is exactly what happened in game 3.
