I hate the warriors and their stans far more than I hate LeFlop so I have no choice but to reluctantly say Go Cavs

The Matchups...
Curry vs Kyrie
Klay vs J.R.
Durant vs Lebron
Dray vs Love
Zaza vs Thompson
With Durant in the fold, Dray won't have to worry about Lebron so much and can increase his focus on pestering Love, who is the X-factor for Cleveland.
Advantage: Warriors
But....
If Lebron can somehow manage to take Durant off his game and make him work harder to earn his points, and if J.R. Smith/Shumpert can hold Klay below his normal percentages, then advantage Cavaliers. Key thing to watch is Durant's presence could take shots away from Klay, which could prevent Klay from establishing a consistent rhythm throughout this series.
Matchup of benches looks even.

Bron gonna d up KD and get to the rim at will. Steph gonna mess up his ankle and be hobbled (the basketball gods gonna punish him for Kawai). JR smith gonna score 30 one of the games and Korver gonna drop 20 off the bench. Channing Frye gonna cook too, and both D-Wills will contribute off the bench. Like Shaq always says it comes down to the others and the Cavs have better others.

The Cavs aren't even favored to win on their home court.
The odds in Cleveland are EVEN

Every King has been dethroned at one point during their reign. The King's Reign is over!

They said the same about The King last season. King James is immortal.

I actually predicted the Cavs would win last year. Not this year though, too many things going against them.

Rebounding and defensive is what wins championships. Warriors are much much better than the Cavs in both. Fully expect the Cavs to get washed.

I think the Cavs are better on the board than GS just because of TT. He gets so many extra possessions for them. It's a big deal.
BTW, Draymond Green with this Mortal Kombat "annihilation" talk is going to lead to the Cavs coming out guns blazing game 1 and smoking the Warriors. Book it.
Warriors are going to look a lot like how they did game 1 in the WCF. I still say Cavs in 7.

The Warriors need to respond to every question with "No Comment" until the finals are over.

I'd be such a terrible professional athlete, especially a high profile one. I'd be all Sheed and Beast Mode, all the time.
