I'm being slighty facetious. As much as I'd like to blame the format of the playoffs, the clips and wizards both choked and we were left with terrible conference finals.
The finals finals should be great though. /here's hoping

2-11 shooting equals 13 TOs?
I mean...it's not impossible but that's saying GS will lose as many home games this series as they have lost all year + playoffs.

When you say it like that... Damn.. lebron and kyrie better average 35 a game on a good percentage. Ws will have no issues D'ing up the rest of cavs because their ball movement is trash most of the times.
As a Warriors fan I'm just overjoyed we're in the finals. I'll be depressed if we lose, but still. The franchise has come so far it's ridiculous.
If Klay and Curry are good to go then I think the Warriors can do it, but we'll see. Lebron is an explosive element that you really can't totally prepare for.

Dubs are favorite and should win it in no more than 6 games.
But I'm picking the Cavs to win it in 6, because of LeBron reasons.
Please be a good competitive series.

All the people here saying GSW in 6 realize that the format is 2-2-1-1-1, right?
So you guys have them closing LeBron out in Cleveland?

The Cavs are an imposing force right now and GS haven't been in a series against competition like this.
Personally, I don't put much stock into court advantage during the playoffs. And especially in the finals.
These teams are good enough and prepared enough to win anywhere.

I think Warriors win in 6 games with Curry being the Finals Mvp!

What? Both the Grizzlies and rockets were better teams than the Cavs.
Warriors in 5. Lebron will win one at home.

I'm being kind. I don't see this series going far.

I'm sure they're more rooting for 7 games. Gotta milk that shit. Around the Horn Day 7, how annoying can we get? Plaschke!

And the Bulls were a better assembled team with more experience, and the Hawks were the best team in the East.

The east was a joke compared to the west this year. Cavs steam rolled a banged up Hawks teams lol.
Didn't exactly help the hawks.

Cavs in 6.
LBJ is God unless otherwise proven, and only one team has LBJ.
That said, GSW is deep as hell, and they're going to exploit the weakened Cavs way more than the Bulls did.
...I just want the Cavs to win so that LBJ could complete his mission of winning a title in Cleveland, really.

The best team the Warriors faced was the Grizzlies, who's starting PG was injured, and did not play in game 1. Then in game 4 the Grizzlies best defender was injured and barely played after that. The 2 games that Conley and Allen were able to finish together, they won.
Warriors should win this in 5 or 6 though, imo. Who knows if Kyrie will be healthy by then, if he isn't, the Cavs have no business winning 4 games against the Warriors.

That seems to be a popular take now for some reason.

2-3 in the finals is a god?
24 year Golden State fan here. It's hard to believe. I've only ever seen GS make the finals and win it all in video games. I hope they do it for all the long suffering bay area fans there especially Jim Barnett who's been commentating on CSN for 30 years. How appropriate Curry gets to take on the final boss (lebron) for a ring. Hope they get one for David Lee who's had a rough year and who took a chance on the team 5 years ago. Hasn't complained once this year with his bench role. I thought his minutes would start to increase as the season went on, but it went the other way. Still a great player.
I expect Klay to have a better series than the last two. Shumpert seems like a decent defender but he isn't Allen or Ariza. Can't see anyone stopping lebron, he's too good even for Green. At the same time, if Curry hits more than 40% on 3s for the series, I can't see Cavs winning. Curry (and the rest of the team) take so many it'll be really hard to stop.
Dubs in 6 or 7.

The Lebron-led Knicks have no chance.
Warriors don't get enough credit. They're historically one of the greatest teams in NBA history.

Naw you just want to watch MOZGOD, SHUMPSDAGAWD and Swish win a pseudo Knicks championship.

You call a 14-point win "scraping by"? Even when the Warriors second-best player basically didn't play in the second half?
Right.

Carroll was gimpy, Kelso got Dellavedova'd, Horford got Dellevadova'd, fought back and got thrown out and Thabo got NYPD'd.

So what, the Warriors adjusted and wiped the floor with the Grizzlies.
The Warriors are seriously an all-time great team and the Cavs play in the East. Could the Hawks team that showed up in the ECF beat the Pelicans or the Thunder in a 7 game series? Not sure, honestly. Lebron's 1-on-5 routine won't work against Golden State. There's a chance this series will make last year's Finals look competitive.

Every team is hurt to some degree. Excuses.
