    Do you NBA experts think this version of Cleveland is better than last year?

    I don't see much change in GSW approach and they just escaped a battle but I am not an expert.

    Interesting movement on that number already.

    compare the box scores of last year's finals games with this year's cavaliers box scores - different starters. added bench. no coaching controversy.
    Cleveland is different and Irving is in.
    on cell can't get into more detail

    Thanks snowy I did research a bit and I see the numbers but I worry that the quality of competition could make that data a little misleading. It is interesting to see Mosgov getting less time this year and it appears to be paying off. I have not followed the NBA closely since the decision but it seems obvious that smaller lineups are superior in this current iteration.

    While I appreciate the numbers I also know chemistry is very important. If everyone is playing for each other on that team and they avoid the injury bug I do not see how they cannot compete vs state. They know what needs to be done, LBJ is the best player on the planet along with what appears a stronger bench than last year and fully rested.

    The way Cleveland has played this post-season is way better than they played last season.

    They lost 2 games so far and have a way deeper bench. Look at their stats this post-season.
    They are also playing very well together with the exception of Irving, but it seems Lue trusts Delly which is good because he runs the offense well.

    The problem is they are facing an two absolute monsters, but I think Cleveland is the right side at more than +200

    Jj's second thread that is on point and that I 100 percent agree with. Hell has frozen over. If he keeps this up he's going to start making money doing this

    Way better than last season? Last season they also lost only 2 games heading into the finals, east are just garbage no matter how you see it. Warriors in 5, too easy.

    Frye and Love are 2 of the best shooting bigs in the league, you don't think that's a huge upgrade then idk what to tell you

    Warriors weren't coming off a 7 game war last year either

    Cavs steal G1

    I'll be shocked if Cleveland wins two games

    They have soft players compared to Oklahoma City

    According to who/what? Regular season stats? If they were so good on defense why did it take them 4 games to make an adjustment and guard the perimeter when they were allowing 50 3's per game? I don't care what the stats said. The Hawks defense SUCKED in that series. Their regular season defensive stats simply means they had the potential to be better than what they displayed. They hoped the Cav's would miss and instead got buried.

    thunder are a garbage shooting team and they were getting wide open looks, sure some of them were intentional and daring them to shoot but when bron wants to get to the rim the warriors are a finesse basketball team that doesn't want to bang inside.

    andre roberson was destroying warriors on the offensive glass, wait until tristan thompson gets a piece of them. he was eating last year in the finals too on the glass. lets not forget cavs went up 2-1 last year. without kyrie and love.

    It's true that the Cavs are a better and deeper team this year but the Warriors also got better as well. They set the record for most wins and just got battle tested while the Cavs walk through the east.. It's going to be a tough series but I think warriors will win in 6.. They are a better defensive team than the Cavs.

    The Cavs have to win 2 of the first 3 games to stand a chance.

    Last year state was scared and figured it out.

    Kerr vs lue- lol
    Curry has the form back
    Curry- wants to silence james
    Wade is not on cavs
    Home court is huge
    Cavs have so many retreads it's not even funny.

    I wouldn't mind seeing warriors lose and last night I said I would cheer for james but I can't do that. I hate James so much and the only purpose of the season is seeing him crying at the end,

    GO WARRIORS

    also some of the worst defensive bigs. Draymond and Barnes can shut both of them down. And the Hawks D isnt better than the Warriors, dont care what the numbers say.
