This is going to be a great series. There's no history between these two but there's some new fresh storylines along with the old recycled LeBron thing.

The Warriors are leading the way for the new era of basketball. Throughout the league we've seen a new era shuffle in. Spacing the floor and running the pick and roll with a versatile 4. That's not to say this is something new - this has been a trend we've seen with James' Heat and the Spurs after they reinvented themselves. The thing about Golden State is that they launch from anywhere and everywhere. I've always been cautious when it comes to riding with jump shooting teams but it's clear that they have proven that their system works. At the end of the day it comes down to talent and this team has plenty of it with Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green, and other solid role players.

The Cavs really run a fairly similar halfcourt set. It's all about spacing the floor and when Smith, Shumpert, etc are hitting their shots, this team is really tough to beat.

So with two similar teams, what it ultimately comes down to is which defense is able to cover more space. I give the advantage to Golden State. Statistically, they were one of the best defenses in the NBA this year. Kerr is going to give LeBron different looks. Green and Barnes will each get their turns and Iguodala when the bench comes in. I expect Kerr to tell them that they are going to have to make James beat them with his jumpshot. Give him space and dare him to shoot. There will be times when LeBron gets by his man but it helps when you have a 7 footer at the rim. Of course some of that is countered by the fact that Bogut has to respect Mozgov under the rim but it always comes down to a team effort when defending James.


I expect this to be a home court series. It would not surprise me to see home court hold true right up until Game 7 (although that rarely happens). However I just think this Warriors team has too much. They come at you in waves and although the Cavs can get hot, I expect Kerr to develop a gameplan to contain James. I like Golden State to win and cover Game 1. LeBron does not have a great track record in Game 1s on the road. The Warriors should feed off the energy of the crowd and separate at some point in this game.



Game 1: Warriors -5.5 -108 (5x)

Series: Warriors win 4-3 +365 (2x)

Enjoy the Finals.

btw im on cavs +6.

if u like GS to win, this is the way to bet it imo. Warriors in 7 is their only chance. Cavs will win at least 1 game in GS in this series. I like the bet but I hate the bet on the spread in game 1. Game one is basically a free shot for Celveland to take contro and put the pressure on GS bigtime. If GS wins its no big deal to CLE. Kyrie will have a better game than Curry

I like Warriors in either 5 or 7. I don't think they finish it in Cleveland.

Game 1: Warriors -5.5 -108 (5x)

Series: Warriors win 4-3 +365 (2x)

Enjoy the Finals.

That's the gameplan.. they will let Lebron get his shots and pts. and wear him out.. and it works. golden state will lockdown everybody else and let James play isolation all night long

[t-wizzle]

Game 3: Warriors ML -117 (20x)

[Seto]

This is probably the best game of the series to play.

[t-wizzle]

Historically speaking yes. This is the game you ride with the team you like to win it all.

He will. Golden State will be better off away from home. I think they'll run crisp offensive sets and let the game come to them.

[nanderson1134]

so many feet in mouth when King James wills this team to a ring

[James Marques]

He will. Golden State will be better off away from home. I think they'll run crisp offensive sets and let the game come to them.

Solid prediction

Hedged out with Cavs +3.5 at halftime. Warriors still win in 7.

In good shape here.

[new era]

Warriors are going to win in 6 now just because of this.

[jjgold]

I cannot see Cleve going to 7

It would be a great feat with another win

[Goat Milk]

I think this hasn't been a good series thus far. Very sloppy basketball all around. Doesn't really compare to some of the recent finals. Lakers Celtics in 2010, Mavs Heat in 2011, Heat Spurs in 2013. All 3 were epic.
