Especially now that they have gone back to the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

Iguodala will put LeBron in check just like last year (defensively). Kyrie will be a factor, but Kevin Love will be a "no show".

Oklahoma length hurt Golden State. they will have no such issues with the Cavs. Plus they probably needed all seven games just to get Steph back in rhythm.

Channing Frye will be big in this series. Iguodala will have more than Lebron to worry about.

BTW, he didn't keep Lebron in check so to speak last year. What he did was add the offense that Curry wasn't able to do in the Finals last year because he let Deladova get in his head a few games. Andre scored the basket in last years finals. Don't know if he will this year. Cleveland is MUCH deeper than last year. BTW, they couldn't beat Cleveland in 5 last year.

You do realize Cleveland has length too. If T. Lue decides to play Mosgov. Not like anyone is short on Cleveland's team. Lebron, Thompson, Love, Frye, Mosgov, JR Smith is even 6'6. Shumpert is 6'4 or 6'5. Kyrie is the only small guy really. But he is athletic. Not as strong as Westbrook. But I think he pushes the ball with more consistency (without turnovers) than Westbrook. Kyrie got some damn moves going to the hole. Curry will have his hands full with a health Kyrie.

The wild card is Fyre and even old ass Richard Jefferson has regained his hops! LOL.
 
I have Cleveland in 6. Folks don't realize that Cleveland is actually shooting the 3 at a higher percentage. Lebron singlehandedly took GS to 6 games last year. They will get it done. Kyrie and Frye are the X factors.

I APPROVE of this message!

GSW in 5? Ha, You thought.......
 
JR Steph can shoot over Kyrie with ease. Westbrook was holding him down for the most part. All them dudes you named aint crap away from Cleveland. Golden state just as deep and they have home court. Lebron was getting help from the refs most of the series to make it interesting. Kyrie can't be counted on just yet nor can love. And they did struggle from the trey line vs Toronto.

them dude are no better than Adams and Serge you named so that's a wash. It will come down to who can stop Klay and Steph. Westbrook is a better defender than Kyrie and Durant is a mismatch problem even for Iggy.

The Raptors play well at home man. Plus they bought into all the media hype in game 3-4 about the series being over after the first two wins. Toronto has some good scorers in Lowry and DeRozen. Plus they may have the best crowd in the NBA. That place is nutts. Oracle is tough. But them Toronto fans are wild.

Durant relies to much on the jumper. Lebron will at least try to go the hole. Steph shoots over everyone. It aint about controlling Steph offensively. I think Kyrie will push him to defend. Westbrook is more careless with the ball than Kyrie. Kyrie will have Steph on his heels and because he is smaller. He is not easy to pick pocket.

Toronto won 2 games and folks act like they really were in the series. LOL. I think Cleveland took them for granted when they went to Toronto in game 3. Game 4 was competitive and Cleveland basically made some bad mistakes down the line or it could have been 3-1 heading back to Cleveland.

BTW, Cleveland is rolling on the 3 point line right now. That damn Channing Frye is shooting 60% from the 3 line. BTW, GS scrubs don't ball worth a shit away from Oracle either. Igoudala is the only one they can count on off the bench away from there. Festus, Mo Buckets etc are garbage away from there.
 
It doesn't fit the script that the NBA has set up. Lebron is supposed to lead the Cavaliers and the city of Cleveland to a title over the historic 73-win Warriors. It's supposed to cement his legacy as an NBA All-time Great. Cleveland will win in 7

He has to do it in 6. I don't give him a chance in 7. I think that will be too much pressure on Cleveland if it goes to a game 7.

Lebron has to impose his will out the gate. They need to come into Oracle with the attitude that Game 1 and 2 are Game 7s and try to win both of them and not just get a split. They almost accomplished that last year. Lost in OT in the first game when Kyrie got hurt. Then won game 2.

Steph and Kyrie are the same size
 
So Lebron, Delly and JR Smith pushed GS for 4 games last year before running out of gas in Games 5 and 6.

As I said before, Love and Frye are the X Factors. If Love gets it going early, good things happen for the Cavs. Frye has hot throughout the entire playoffs so if him and Delly (along with Jefferson) can be consistent off the bench this could be Cleveland's year. If Curry (who is banged up) and Thompson get it going, you won't stop them but can only hope to slow them down

Kyrie and Steph I think will neutralize each other. Klay will probably be guarded by JR/Shumpert combo and maybe even Lebron. Iggy won't have a tired Lebron to "keep in check" this time around. And Draymond won't get away with dirty play with Lebron on the court so Thompson/Mozgov combo will be able to contain him. Love's subpar defense can be overlooked if he continues to be consistent from 3

Isn't Green close to getting a mandatory game suspension because of flagrant fouls or technicals?
