At the end of the day the IMO the Cavs aren't a better team than the were last year regardless if they added the pieces they did who have yet to prove their worth(Deron Williams, Derrick Williams, Korver). The Cavs have just as much pressure and expectations of the Dubs if not more because they're the defending champs and have King James.
The Cavs don't have much pressure because most of your analysts and fans have the Celtics and the Raptors knocking out the Cavs in the East. Plus, almost everybody has give GSW the NBA title and making them a dynasty. Nobody is expecting the Cavs to repeat, everybody is expecting the Warriors to win it all. They got KD, come off a historic Finals loss and won 73 games last season. If they don't win it all with KD, it'll be the biggest disappointment in sports.

Yup I saw Jeff Van Gundy comments this morning about how no team will beat GS in this year's playoffs because they don't have the fire power on offense.
"...but 2015" Kyrie and Love both played better last season than one before. Kyrie had an amazing finals, but who's say the same would've happened year before. The Warriors still won in 6 games in a series where despite being on losing team, there was still argument for Lebron as Finals MVP. While 2016 it took more injuries and a suspension for the Cavs to win by a basket. Oh and "the block" wasn't exactly impressive when Iggy was injured. That's not to say the Warriors still shouldn't have pulled off the win, but minus a couple small differences they would've.
Kyrie had a great game 1 in 2015 and played well in that year. I wouldn't expect anything less in the games to follow IF he played

I really don't care for Jeff Van Gundy he comes off as an idiot a lot of times. I saw what he said the Warriors aren't a lock to make The Finals. Plus, they have 3 great offensive players and a great defensive player I still don't trust their bench.

When you are a team that live and die by the three, i feel winning the title is never a lock.
This shouldn't even be a question. Only comparable pressure the Cavs have to the Warriors winning the title is for the Cavs to reach the Finals. In other words it would be as big a failure for the Cavs to not reach the Finals as it would be for the Warriors to not win it.

I call BS on that.
