I probably shouldn't count out a Lebron Cavs team against these Warriors as both the previous series the Cavs did much better than I anticipated. Then again, Curry played poorly in both of them so I am just assuming eventually he will show up, Clay won't disappear and Draymond will stay on the court and Warriors cruise to victory.

I think the Warriors win in 4 if Cleveland loses again tomorrow and win in 5 if Cleveland wins tomorrow.

It cracks me up when people always bring up last season. If that is the case lets give the Cavs the championship since they won it last year.

What happened last season doesn't carry over to this season. in 2013 the Miami Heat beat the Spurs but in the following season (2014) the Spurs beat the Heat. Just like in CFB, Alabama beat Clemson last season and this season Clemson beat Alabama.

Its very hard to beat a team two championships in a row.

Yup

Bird couldn't do it in 1985
Magic couldn't do it in 1989

I just wanna hear what Lebron fans say if he loses again
this year.

Barkley just addressed this the other night.Saying why are people already ranking him over Kobe and right next to Jordan with only 3 rings that we're won on teams he handpicked with multiple All stars.

ESPN is the Lebron hype machine but i understand they gotta say crazy things to boost the ratings.

If this 2016-2017 Cavs season has taught me one thing- one opponent to the next doesn't matter.


If the Cavs are locked in defensively (happens when the stakes are higher) and we see the Lebron we saw in the first 10 games of playoffs- I'd be shocked with your outcome.

When they were unable to keep pace with the Warriors and not complete the sweep, I had no choice but to favor the Warriors to beat the Cavs in the Finals.

I see game 3 as having no impact at all whether the Cavs win or lose this next series against the Dubs. Just as the Warriors being 15 games better than Cleveland last year. If anything the loss will serve as a nice wake up call.
