Tonight will be the first game of the series that is not close, and Cleveland will take it comfortably.
Golden State is overrated. Simple fact is that when a team goes on the road in NBA finals,
and loses game 1 in OT, wins game 2 in OT, with an injured and out starting point guard, that
says a lot about the home team. Cleveland beat Golden State at Cleveland rather easily in February,
Lebron went off for 42 points.
It's really amazing how Golden State cultists expect their team to suddenly start playing better on the road
than they did at home. The telltale signs are on the wall but they are going through a denial.
Golden State's offense is challenged and held in check by the Cleveland defense. Golden State's defense
cannot stop Cleveland in the paint. There are serious basketball reasons why Cleveland is going to win this
series. Tonight we get a standard win by a margin wide enough to not be down-to-the-wire.
