Harrison "The Black Falcon" Barnes of course.
Not liking a team automatically equates to being salty?
That's an interesting world you're living in there bud.
And I'm from Florida so don't try and twist this as me being a mad Houston fan or something.
SAS stole my take. if Kyrie was 100%, I'd easily take the Cavs.
Not as impressed with the warriors this post season as most. Brewer, Jsmoove, Ariza and Jet were tearing them up last round. Connely/Allen put on shows. Even Norris Cole went off on them. That aside, Cavs got a one-man bench. That horrible Bulls-Cavs series happened. JR is due his 1 for 18 game. Hobo will probably get suspended straight off after all the hubbub about him. LeBron will need four heroic games to win, none of that 37 shots stuff.
Debating the fanbases is silly. Cavs fans/gilbert aren't any worse than the bandwagon thats latched onto GS. LeBron winning another ring would make some folks extra pissed though, so I tend to root for that.

Is Irving still hurt? It would be interesting if Cavs were healthy but at the moment Warriors have a deeper team - lot more players who are capable of scoring.

It's okay. I'm sure D. Wade will eventually get back to the Finals someday.

Vegas, and anyone with common sense, is picking the Warriors. That's all you need to know.
But by all means, all you people picking the Cavs please think about betting on them so the lines even out more and I can make money betting on the Warriors.
So just because he's from Florida he's a fan of D Wade and the Miami Heat? Interesting world you live in there bud.

That's a pretty low bar for being unlikable.
Clippers and Rockets were both more unlikable this year.
Ariza was pretty decent, I'll give you that but:
Brewer 8 ppg on 34% shooting
J Smoove 14 ppg on 39% shooting
Jason Terry 9 ppg on 37%
Conley shot 38% the last 5 games of the Memphis / GSW series.
No one's really gone off against GSW. Maybe Davis, but it's Anthony Davis.

How else am I suppose to interpret "The Warriors might be the most unlikable team in years"?
I don't like James Harden or Dwight, doesn't mean anything about their ability to play.

Well one thing's for sure, they'd had it much harder than the Cavs. To get to the finals, the Cavs just beat 2 outmatched cupcakes and a decent Bulls team that was ready to fire their coach before the playoffs even started.
Healthy Kyrie or not, Golden State should win this series. They have all the pieces to run them out of the building. But will they? I'm not sure. LeBron is one lucky fucking bastard, and the Warriors don't have championship experience.
The answer is always: some way other than assuming the Heat still have fans.

I want Warriors in 4 or 7. Everything else is a failure.

You're funny. The Warriors have more bandwagon fans than ever right now.
Even this guy likes them. Kinda.
Vegas also picked Alabama and Oregon to absolutely destroy Ohio State in the College Football semi final and national championship game and we see how that turned out. We will see how the young Warriors handle finals pressure a week from now.

lol, how many Cavs players had even been to the playoffs before this year? Try harder bro.
How could you not like Steph. Couldn't get a scholarship from any big college program, then took Davidson to the Elite 8. Was deemed too small and too slow to be great in the league and sprained his ankle like every other game, then he got healthy and is winning MVP's and going to the finals. Best shooter ever, daughter singing Drake lyrics at the podium, has a hot mom. Already a classic story in the making.

I can't think of a more likable playoff team than the Warriors. Maybe the Grizzlies or Wizards?

Steph had a really good NCAA Run
If there's guards I'd love to see get a ring before they hang it up, it's him and CP3.

I don't like him because he's too good at shooting.
at least you're consistent.

This should be the only sentence on Curry's Wikipedia page.
GSW in 6.
I want to say 5, but I think CLE can take two games. James can win a game entirely by himself, and when he can't, there will be one game where the rest of the team shows up. Just one though.
Curry seems hard to like because all of the media attention is focused on him, but he's finally putting together a complete season after all of the ankle issues in the earlier part of his career. Bogut's not too likeable, but what's wrong with Iguodala? And Green being a tremendous defender is what's pushed GSW where they are now defensively.

I would personally be extremely happy for either team that wins, but what keeps nagging at me is that scumbag delavadova or whatever the hell his name is. That guy has been playing dirty, literally taking out people's legs and trying to intentionally hurt people, and has been very successful at it so far.
It rubs me the wrong way to see someone like him possibly get rewarded after the shit he has pulled. So, if only for that clown, I'm leaning Golden State on this win, but it would be something else for the Cavs to take it. it would effectively solidify Lebron's legacy if he could get Cleveland this championship.
Still doesn't put him anywhere in Jordan territory, though imo.

I love how the announcers say he's not dirty but rather an irritant.
There's blatant dirty and there's subtle dirty, it's still dirty.

Y'all sleeping on JR Smith. He's going to activate his fuckball proper this series.

By the way, I wouldn't put too much into such shitty rumors/reports.
At least 3 Bulls starters????
There's only 5 starters:\
I have heard that some Bulls players are for Thibs and some are against him but you'll never know who so it's pretty much a moot point.

Yo man how is this not in the OP, this commercial gets me so hype and they already have a Cavs/Warriors version made but it's not on youtube or anything yet.
