Three reasons why the Warriors wont win the championship

[Hotlantadude81]

3-2 lead going home vs a reeling team.

Im not saying they should have won the series. Im saying they didnt prove that could be trusted in the post season.

A reeling team that still went on to beat one of everyones darlings (Washington) in the very next round.

Fact is... They should have been swept. They made it a 7 game series despite having a very unfavorable match up.

Sorry, but you don't have much an argument here.

Cavs are really 24-12. They are being underrated.

[Smook A.]

That's going too far for sure.

Not at all. Hawks > Cavs.

I only state facts. Not really an argument.

Besides Im on the Hawks Bandwagon. I fully dont expect a choke like last year.

Cavs/Hawks is actually an intriguing discussion.

The Hawks aren't as big a paint presence as the Warriors, so they won't be able to exploit Love's defense like other teams can, especially now that Mozgov is backing him up.

Hawks biggest weakness is rebounding, and Cleveland is a solid rebounding team.

Would be an interesting series

I'm giving you plenty of facts.

Btw, they also have the second best point differential this year when scoring below 100 points.

Stop. Millsap and Horford would destroy Love.

LeBron would destroy Carrol/Korver and the rest of the team.

Lebron is going to get his no matter who he plays. No team in the east is going to stop him from getting his.

Love gives up like 70% at the rim. Whole team would score on him to be honest.

I agree: The defensive strategy with regards to Love needs to change. But the Cavs D has been a lot better as of late.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Love's defense is a lot more covered up with Mozgov backing him up, and with Kyrie/LeBron playing good perimeter D. Once Shumpert finds his flow, it will be a much different story.

Interestingly enough, the Cavs and Hawks have blown each other out this year

Mozgov will be strung out to the perimeter.

Cleveland was insantly hot in that first meeting. 9-9 in 3's in the first period:

Mozgov will be strung out to the perimeter.

That actually will work out being a benefit for the Cavs. I'd rather play a team with jump shooting bigs than a duo like Gasol/Randolph ... particularly randolph
