I don't like LeBron's fat head but he's very physical in the paint and that is probably higher percentage shots than Curry's threes. I'll be rooting for Warriors but from what I've seen, Cavs take it in 7, my best guess.

Golden state will sweep or in 5. Cavs are heavily out matched in this series. The real JR Smith and Shumpert will show up in the finals. Klay is an under estimated perimeter defender. Bogut and Green will control the boards. They are the deepest team and should get Speights back.

Living less then an hour away from Cleveland I can tell you the home town fans are hoping for a title but most that I know have their money on the warriors. Lebron is a great player but his head won't be right for this series. Kerr returns to Cleveland to coach against them who he played for. LBJ is much different in public then private and will be taking blame for them losing to GS but behind the scenes he'll be making excuse after excuse. He thinks he's a one man show including being the coach. Just my opinion but do think the warriors will take the championship fairly easy..The Cavs will get a better shot in the future if they get lucky enough to get his son on the team when he comes to the NBA and that kid is a phenom. BOL with whoever you bet on as I have GS for the title on a small play but won't be betting a single game in the series. Kinda hope the Cavs prove me wrong but I just don't see it happening.

I'm a Cavs homer but using the reverse jinx method by betting warriors in case King James doesn't pull it off and i come away happy either way in this series?

Bothe teams are 1-1 SU and ATS against eachother in reg season play. Both games went under the total.
Let me remind everyone Cleveland"s SOS#17 GS SOS#13, small difference but important. I will try to find some key #'s in common opponent stats when I get a chance.

Warriors are the better team, obviously. I'm just not sure if they have enough experience and if their shots will fall in the crucial moment. In my opinion, this series will have at least six games, maybe even 7.

I'm not quite sure why the Cavs are +200 to win the series. My only reasoning to why is probably the health of Kyrie. He'll be a key to this series for a few reasons.
With a healthy Kyrie, the Dubs will have to adjust their defensive game plan.
1. Curry can't stay on Kyrie full time, it'll burn him out and probably put him on a bad spot of getting into foul trouble. Let alone, probably mess up his offensive game overall.
2. Kyrie being the primary ball handler spaces the floor more for the Cavs. This puts the Dubs again on a different defensive front because they have to honor Shump/JR outside while also accounting for the King.
3. OK cool Dubs will put Klay on Kyrie..so the rest of the match-up will be:
Barnes v LBJ
Dray v Tristan
Bogut v Mosgov
Curry v Shump - yeah this will be taken advantage of big time.
I really think the Cavs 5 in the playoffs has played better D vs the Dubs 5. That's hard for me to admit since I live and am in the Bay Area.
To summarized, the PG match-up will be the key for this series. At the end of the day, offensively Curry will have a slight advantage over Kyrie. But if Kyrie is 100% healthy, it'll be a very close game.

A healthy Kyrie....are you serious? When on earth has Kyrie been healthy??
It's simple. Lebron can't do it by himself. His supporting cast ain't garbage so don't even start. Out here in the west, NOBODY'S impressed with watching the Cav's trample the Leastern Conference.
Lebron was collapsed on the floor after playing....ATLANTA. .....Atlanta people!! Let the marinate for a moment.
Warriors in 5 and don't kid yourself.

Golden state will sweep or in 5. Cavs are heavily out matched in this series. The real JR Smith and Shumpert will show up in the finals. Klay is an under estimated perimeter defender. Bogut and Green will control the boards. They are the deepest team and should get Speights back.
For fucksake, the Warriors bench would've been a 6 or 7th seed on the East. If anyone was paying attention, it was the BENCH + Harrison Barnes that put the Rockets away last night.

Warriors are the better team, obviously. I'm just not sure if they have enough experience and if their shots will fall in the crucial moment. In my opinion, this series will have at least six games, maybe even 7.
Aside from Lebron, who on that staff has finals experience? Oh I forgot, Steve Kerr never spent time near an NBA finals.
