Cavs in 6 but hoping GS can prove me wrong

[Marcos_Beck]

Warriors in 7 and that's being very optimistic, because I refuse to say the Cavs will win.

I don't care how long it goes as long as the Warriors win it all.

I have a good feeling the Warriors will win. They have a plethora of defenders they can throw at LeBron to mix up the looks, slow him down and confuse him (Iguodala, Green, Barnes, Klay, Livingston) which I think is a better strategy than having just one capable defender in Kawhi or Jimmy Butler. Ezeli has really stepped up this postseason as a viable backup to Bogut (especially with Mo Buckets out) and I would love to watch either Irving or JR Smith guard Curry or Klay. I think Golden State has a lot of advantages here and Cleveland will rely on LeBron a lot like they did against the Hawks. The difference is, the Warriors are much much better than the Hawks.

I think everything you have said Myles is spot on but at the end of the day, LeBron is the best player in the game and that's good for something. I'm not counting the Cavs out but I think the Warriors have to be considered the favorites.

Pretty much this. Barnes has stepped up not only offensively but also defensively especially downlow. He was one of the main reason we won against Memphis because he could handle himself against Gasol which let Bogut guard Allen and freeroam the paint. He was huge against Harden. He most likely will be on LeBron and Thompson this game. One thing that scares me is when they go small and Green is switched onto Lebron, Thompson will be grabbing boards after boards on them. Hope Barnes is ready to step up

This and also I feel Steph is going to be ready to go for the finals and one his A+ game.

The Warriors are going to make a mockery out of the Cavs. Warriors in 5

As a hardcore warrior fan Ive to say: WARRIORS. I dont care if in 4 or 7.
Feels so good to be a golden state fan right now. I still remember the days when all my friends made fun of me because Im no Lakers/Bulls etc fan and love a franchise that sucks like hell, haha.

I'm absolutely rooting for them. And not just because Steph is from Charlotte- they are just a ridiculously fun group to watch.

That's true. The way they play, so unselfishly, and they take a lot of bad shots and turn them into great ones because Curry and Thompson can sink any kind of shot.. They are amazing to watch, really entertaining, and they seem to be a great group of guys who'll have each other's back no matter what.
Plus they have my fav Brazilian in Leandrinho Barbosa

Gotta go with the Warriors. Would be the icing on the cake in one of the best seasons of all time. This is truly one of the best teams ever assembled, and I think they finish that off by beating the King in 6 games.

From OddsShark.com:

The Golden State Warriors are the favorites on the odds to win the NBA championship at online sportsbook Bovada heading into the NBA Finals, which will get underway on Thursday, June 4 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

At Bovada the Warriors are listed as the 5/12 favorite on the updated NBA championship odds, with the Cleveland Cavaliers pegged as the 19/10 underdog as LeBron James gets ready to play in the NBA Finals for the fifth straight season.

I figured the Warriors would be the favorite but not that heavily. I've seen the Cavs line jump to 2-1 now as well.
