While I pretty much agree with GS having no weaknesses, the do have trouble defending physical wing players... the two best being Harden and LeBron. LeBron isnt going to pick and choose when he is aggressive like Harden does. LeBron will be aggressive from start to finish. I think a team that plays hard on both ends for 48 minutes and can minimize the huge runs GS always seems to go on at some point in the game can beat this GS team. Memphis showed the ability to stunt GS's offense for long stretches at points in that series, they just didnt have the offense, especially outside shooting to take full advantage. Cleveland is scrappy inside with Tristan Thompson, he's a beast on the offensive glass. He will do more than hold his own against Draymond Green, and Mozgov will hold his own vrs Bogut. The trouble though, is Cleveland has trouble defending PGs, and Curry is the best of the best. Cleveland can also match Golden State's ability to shoot the 3. No one is as good as Curry, and he is going to get his, but I really believe Shumpert and JR Smith will really shut down Klay Thompson. Shumpert is one of the best 2 guard defenders in the NBA, and JR Smith is the best shooter on the planet when he is hot, his problem is he is as streaky as they come. JR Smith could win a game for Cleveland by himself and that could be the difference. A cool stat, JR Smith holds the NBA record for most games with 8+ 3 pointers made with 14.

Cleveland's advantage will be LeBron driving to the hole and finishing, going to the line, and kicking for open 3's. Cleveland has experience on their side with LeBron alone. This is a huge factor. I think David Blatt's experience will be a factor as well. Steve Kerr has never coached before this year, while Blatt is a seasoned veteran, albeit not in the NBA.

The biggest key for the Cavs to win this series is Kyrie's health. Curry is going to put up some mnster lines, even if Kyrie is 100%... however KYRIE MUST, I MEAN MUST offset some of Steph's scoring with some EFFICIENT offense of his own.

GS has home court, a deeper bench, and a big advantage at PG, Cleveland has a bigger advantage at the SF position and experience on their side. Cavs are already +195 if they face GS. I love that price... I think its a near lock the NBA finals goes 7 games.

Its gonna be ab epic finals, and we are gonna see some MONSTER stat lines from LeBron and Curry. Gonna be great to watch
