| Golden State Warriors Vs Cleveland Cavaliers | Started by: Donnie_Balistrieri on May 30, '18 16:57 |

It's happening again! Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors going up against Lebron's Cleveland Cavaliers Part IV clash and a possible final era against the two in the NBA Finals. Cleveland Cavaliers is coming out of the gates as the big underdogs here in the NBA Finals, ahead of this week Thursday nights Game 1 as GSW is favored by 12 points over the Cavs. It seems to me this is a very lopsided match up between the duo and I believe it'll end quickly in GSW's favor. GSW is just too deep within their depth and have plenty of elite scorers that they can depend on as of the Cav's can only truly rely on Lebron James. But if he gets off kilter one game, that's it.. He's going to have to play his best series he has ever done before with a really not so talented team behind him like he used to have a year ago with Kyrie Irving N' company in store when needed. Golden State's Starting Lineup - Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green & Kevon Looney. GSW's Bench - Jordan Bell, Quinn Cook, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Nick Young. Cav's Possible Starting Lineup - George Hill, Jeff Green, LeBron James, Kevin Love & J.R. Smith. Cav's Bench - Jordan Clarkson, Rodney Hood, Kyle Korver, Larry Nance Jr & Tristan Thompson. Predictions - Can Lebron & his Cleveland Cavaliers defy the odds and defeat the talented Golden State Warriors as they did back in the 2016 finals after a 3-1 upset? Or will it just be another lopsided match-up for Golden State? I have Golden State in 5. MVP - Kevin Durant. Let the games begin! |

personally I haven't been keeping up with the NBA this season but I think I'd rather have the Warriors winning so there aren't more arguments about Lebron being better than MJ (not that I have a preference, but the arguments are kinda annoying) |

| Usually, I think the best player in the series wins- and I think LeBron is the best player here. But Durant and Curry are close... and the Warriors just have so much firepower. I think Lebron can steal a game or two- but not four. | |

I think the warriors will run away with it from here on out. I honestly think that things could get interesting if the cavs went with a tall lineup or George Hill, Larry Nance, Lebron, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. Maybe even have Lebron at point offensively. Larry nance has always been so hard to stop at the rim and a great rebounder who can get you second chance points. They need to be physical with the warriors and attack the basket to win. They cannot try to win by outshooting the warriors with JR smith (well if he knows that he should shoot) and everyone else. |

| The warriors will definitely take it although I hate both teams lol. Cleveland depends on LeBron to hard and GS has all star starting line up. Would have loved to see the Houston Rockets in there. James Harden for MVP | |

The King to take it in 7! If he can carry this Cavs team to the championship then, there is no doubt he is the GOAT. |

He is the goat it was shown in game 1 dropping 50 points. Sucks that his team cant keep up with him |

| I live in Cleveland and love the Cavs, but GS is going to take this series. They are better coached and just have far too much talent. Also, if you think James is the GOAT, you really need to go watch some old Michael Jordan clips. There is no comparison. James makes a lot of mental mistakes and lacks Jordan’s killer instinct. | |

| I think it’s going to be tough for Cleveland to overcome that brutal game 1 loss. That could have tipped the series... but now? | |

Can't see Cleveland winning a game after JR ruined the first one for them. Lebron is great but his team is brutal... |

JR needs to be smacked, GSW, that team is stacked. Unless his supporting cast steps up like they did when they first arrived, then they may have a chance. |

| Looks like GSW will win the finals comfortably. Been a great effort from Lebron though. | |

After seeing how weighted the game is in favor of golden state ( ie every piss poor call from game 1 and 2) I have 0 desire to watch any of the games. The cavs dont even have to leave the locker room and I wouldnt be the slightest bit upset. The Final and the NBA is now only half a step above the WWE in being a real sport. |

KD is gonna go down as one of the greatest players of all time. I still can't get over that he choked to a 73-9 team then joined them but rings I guess. He should at least embrace the role of the bad guy since the majority of basketball fans outside of the team he's on will dislike him. |

The move never should of been sanctioned. It would be like LeBron going to GS next year that would be denied in an instant same concept to KD trade. |

While i respect what LeBron said about the 4-peat (his quote ran to "Any team can make the finals, they just have to beat us first"), I also think that it says bad things about stagnation in basketball that not one, but two teams have been in the finals 4 years running. I feel the same, but more so over the fact that GSW won 2 of those three, and look like they're about to sweep a third of 4. What in the hell, tbh. |
