Wow! 11 days off for a 7 game series! NBA playoffs are way to long for about 4 teams a year with a legit shot.

Lebron will finish what they started

i suspect JR will go full Special person

the "JR meltdown" has gone off without a hitch for many years now. he'll have a stretch he plays great then all of a sudden when its most important he just goes to shit and starts doing dumb stuff

i suspect he shoots badly then will probably smack Shaun Livingston and be suspended

I don't see Cleveland being able to play the defense OKC did against the Warriors. As much as Irving and Love are huge additions this year, they're both pretty damn bad on D, and having them both out there at the same time is kinda sketch for Cleveland, especially against the offense the Warriors have.

No, they're gonna have to play offense like the Warriors. Cavs were 3rd in offense this year.. OKC was 2nd.. So really it shouldn't be anything the Warriors haven't seen before.

Idk why I find myself rooting for the Cavs.

Maybe I just like the underdog.

If Golden State wins, we have to hear how they're the greatest team ever. If they lose, then people will start talking about how LeBron is the greatest ever and how he beat the best team. Lose lose.

I think this will be one hell of a series, and I can't wait for the eventual Green vs. Delladova fight.

I'm taking the Cavs in 7.

There's that whole "live by the 3, die by the 3 thing." To me, this doesn't really apply to the Warriors. However, the Cavs are shooting more 3's than the Warriors this postseason, and I have a lot less faith in their three point shooting abilities, especially considering the Warriors are pretty good at defending the 3.

If the Cavs win, I don't think people will elevate LeBron over Jordan. The Warriors probably should have already lost to the Thunder, so I think if the Cavs win it will be an upset, but not one of monumental proportions. LeBron basically won 2 games single-handedly against the Warriors last year, and now he has Irving and Love.

Warriors are a better team this year. After GS adjusted last year, especially Steph, they were fine. Sure, Cleveland is better too having Love and Kyrie, but GS is still fueled by the chatter that their championship was a fluke last year. They're not looking to just beat Cleveland, they're looking to demolish them. And they will.

If she looks anything like Lebron, she must be a very ugly mother:(
