This Cavs/Warriors series will be eerily similar to the 2012 Finals it feels like...

2*/6 taking a toll on people before even materializing.

OP fantasying on ways the outcome will be different - and he's not alone. I am sure Pauk is having dreams about it too.

Everybody hyping up the young, up and coming team in Golden State (how OKC exactly was in 2012). I feel like they'll take a game or two, but will eventually have their shots stop falling. Shump will lock Curry/Klay down, and Draymond will be a complete non factor with LeBron defending him. I think Cleveland comfortably wins this 4-1.

I think that there's such a huge disparity in talent here. I really don't see Cleveland taking more than a game. You're being really optimistic.

Wow. Do these people have no shame? Why continue posting after you've been embarrassed like that.

The only team that I feel is better than the current Warriors is the 2014 Spurs and maybe 2013 Heat.

Outside of that, I wouldn't take any team over them in the last 10 or 11 years.

Like I said a couple times before, this will be the FIRST and probably ONLY time I'll be cheering for LeBron. I can't stand that Warriors team.

The little things Curry does pisses me off. Celebrates crazily after a small dunk, or a normal 3 pointer. Chewing on his mouth guard whenever he isn't running. Doing a little dance after he or another player on his team does something big. Falling down like he got snipped JFK-style after attempting a 3 when the person who's guarding him BARELY touches him... things like that.

Draymond Green is different though. I get he has passion, but holy shit. He makes KG look like Tim Duncan in terms of showing emotion. Always yelling and screaming. Taunting players and playing dirty. Shit like that. F*ck Bogut too. Dude's an asshole.

You hate Curry for his celebrations and dancing and flopping, and you hate Green and Bogut for playing dirty, yet you're supporting a team with LeBron, Kendrick Perkins and JR Smith. Makes total sense.

funny that they are saying shump will shutdown curry... is shump suddenly a better defensive player than tony allen? if your answer is yes then you are a lebron fan to the fullest. I am not saying its a sweep for the GS. But op thinks cleveland would win 4-1 against GS is just based on crap. OP is but hurt that durant was injured and OKC didn't make the playoffs he was wishing that somehow they were in the east. OKC without durant may have put up a better fight against the cavs....

you might be forgetting 08 celtics

I actually agree with the OP. It's going to be a lot closer than people think. Everyone is expecting this Warrior team to demolish the Cavs but frankly there's something about Golden State I just don't trust

I know what you mean.

It's not gonna be 4-0 but if GSW loses, I will be surprised. It depends on Bron. If Bron can put on a performance for the ages, Cle will win. If he plays like he has been, probably not.

I dunno what GSW was doing last game. I think am pretty sure that Cle won't win the championship this year, however.

Nah those Laker and Boston teams were 'better.' GSW *could* beat them, but like in the other thread talking about how easy the Lakers run was... every team the Lakers faced was good, but the fact that LA was just so big inside.

Small ball works, but I don't think it does against two 7 footers and Odom.

GSW is still young, also, may break down. They are playing really well for the talent they have; they would be a contender in every year, but I don't think they are good enough to beat a team built to destroy them inside. Luckily, teams aren't really like that anymore.

Cavs in 6.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Feels more like 2007 Cavs-Spurs tbh.

Are you sure you aren't mentally retarded? You realize Love with one arm would still be better than the 2nd option on that 07 Cavs team

[Solefade]

warriors are an all time great team but i don't trust how they rely on jump shots to win
