Cleveland isn't as athletic or physical as OKC. Personally, I think will be a little easier series for Golden State.

I got the Warriors in six.

The Cavs are more disciplined than the Thunder, and Thompson is just as physical as Adams at securing offensive boards. It's going to come down to how much the Cavs defense can bend without breaking, their offense is better than the Thunder and they will turn this into possession basketball with a slow ass pace.

Thompson doesn't have Adams' length at the rim. Nobody on Cleveland does unless they dust off Mozgov's corpse and he gets healthy again. Their overall length from 1-5 is nothing like OKC's.

I agree that Cleveland has a better offense, but they're not gonna physically wear Golden State down like OKC did at times. I think the Warriors are gonna abuse Love when they have the ball.

Thompson did give them problems, but Golden State was REALLY tight through three games in that series too, especially after Kyrie went down. The Cavs do not have the bodies/length to challenge at the rim like OKC did. That caused a lot of issues for Golden State. I don't see that being a problem in The Finals. Golden State is simply better this year too.

Cleveland's bigs do more pick and pop stuff, whereas Adams did pick and roll stuff. That set him up to wreak havoc on the boards. He's also a much better finisher than Thompson could ever dream to be.

Klay and Draymond had pretty poor series in last year's Finals as well.

Love's gotta be on fire in this series for them to win, in my opinion. If not, regardless of any driving lanes he opens up, he's gonna hurt them overall.

They weren't tight, they were honestly struggling with the Cavs defense, games 5 & 6 were still close and it took runs for the Warriors to end them. They finally figured out that their PF had to dive to the basket on those hard shows, but still the Cavs defense held tight, their offense is what let them down.


The Cavs bigs will hit threes, they will spread the floor and leave someone one on one trying to keep Thompson off the glass. This Cavs team is better than the Thunder, how much better is up for debate but they can pose some of the same problems. And it's not like they have to keep Love out there either, if his defense is that big of an issue he wont play.

This post makes no sense, the Cavs play at a slow pace and still score, playing slow doesn't mean you can't score. They present a lot of the same problems the Thunder did, while also being less turnover prone and better on offense.

Again, just because they play slow doesn't mean they can't score, the Hawks had the 2nd best defense in the league, the Cavs hung a 123 offensive rating on them, for comparisons the Warriors had a 115 offensive rating on the season. A slow pace does not mean your offense isn't potent.

And Westbrook & Durant were able to get off against the Warriors, are you implying that they are that much better than LeBron & Kyrie?



This is a close series to call in my opinion, the Cavs have the ingredients to win, but you think the Pelicans, Grizz, Clippers and Rockets would beat them in a series so obviously I'm wasting my time here.
