      IF Cavs beat GSW, what would be new excuses to discredit LeBron? Steroid? Refs? weak east? weak west? because he went through terrible team like gsw?

        Lebron roasted them with 42 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.
        Curry was only allowed 18 points.

        There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Cavs will beat Golden State
        for Championship. Golden State is soft. Cavs will punk them hard.
        Leaning more Cavs myself, they'll win it and then people will say GS not as good as they thought they were. They were about to say that when Memp. was up 2-1. Cavs will show everyone the old saying that defense wins chips is true.

            GS has one of the best Defenses in this years playoffs,I think they match up pretty well with Cleveland,but well see how it shakes out.

                accept that it is plain in black and white that the Warriors have a better defense than the Cavs.

                  cavs might win 1 or 2 but im leaning GS. Who faced better teams all year? warriors are deep, but they cant turn it over and they gotta get rebounds. I think they're offense will be sharp

                      But then who does Irving or Delly guard? Those 2 are going to get attacked all game vs. Warriors.

                            The Cavs can keep up with Golden St. in the backcourt when Irving comes back.
                            Its gonna be about defense.

                              Regular season. I know all about GS defensive stats. They score so fast and well it causes teams to try and mimic sometimes, hurry, play catchup, and get out of their character, its the finals now baby. Wonder how many times we'll see little Steph looking up in the crowd to Dell for answers lol.

                                Im worried about the Cavs bench, who guards Klay when they take Curry out and Lebron comes out. GS has way more line up combinations with Curry in Klay out and Curry out Klay in. Cavs only good defenders are Lebron, Shumpert and Mozgov. GS defense is good all around Lebron will have to play major minutes.

                                      Warriors have showed stuff all defense. They've played teams that just haven't been able to score. Has nothing to do with the opposing D. Warriors pace is so high that teams are rushed even when Splash bros don't set up back court. Pels and Rockets, besides Harden who on his own terms has had a bad postseason just aren't able to score. When Warriors faced Memphis who nearly doubled the average possession time and Steph and Klay had to get back, they struggled. When these two have to get back again because everyone has to be matched up when Lebron handles because of his passing, we'll see different scores.

                                      Refer to thread of SBR consensus being a step behind for people riding, driving and pedalling the GSW train. Play down the Cavs at your peril.

                                          Cavs will not win this series. They are playing some horrible competition in the Eastern conference. This is gonna be like 2007 and 2014 for LeBron all over again. No one in the east can play offense/defense like GSW. If JR Smith didn't splash like 4 3's in the 4th and if Chicago could do anything on offense during the last few minutes, Cleveland would be down 3-1 to a team that can't play offense and has a defense that is inferior to GSW's. Series will not go past 5 games.

                                            A healthy Cavs team is more than capable of beating Golden State...Lebron..JR and Shumphert would destroy Curry and Thompson on the perimeter...its like having Kwahi and 2 other defenders about 60 percent as good as him...which is why the Spurs were the only team in the west that could have beaten the Warriors...

                                            Unfortunately...Cavs are banged up...Lebron moves up to top five territory and mount rushmore status if he can pull this one off...

                                                          Cavs will spank curry and his overrated warriors in 5 games.

                                                                Lebron can guard curry but then who guards the 3?? Not jr then who comes off the bench?? James jones? He can't guard... Cavs not deep enough. Kyrie definitely needs to play here no Love hurts a lot too Warriors in 5 6

GS has way more line up combinations with Curry in Klay out and Curry out Klay in. Cavs only good defenders are Lebron, Shumpert and Mozgov. GS defense is good all around Lebron will have to play major minutes.
                                                                        Shumpert and JR Smith will guard and limit Klay all series. Deli or Kyrie will guard Curry, and Curry will have his way. Kyrie just needs to offset some of Curry's offense with some efficiant offense of his own. Curry cant guard a healthy Kyrie either. Plus, LeBron will take Curry at special pts of the game.

                                                                        Bigger question is who guards LeBron? No one on Golden State can do it
