The Cavs did not struggle to defend the pacers. That's nonsense. The Cavs weren't even playing in that series.Again, you're separating the game into individual matchups as if it's played that way equally. Lebron and Kyrie's production is not the same as Curry and KD's, not to mention there's another side of the floor.
The Cavs struggled to defend the pacers but somehow because of "King LBJ and King Kyrie" their defense won't matter against the warriors of all teams.
You literally didn't mention defense at all
You seem to forget that there is nobody on the Warriors that can BANG except for Green. You wanna talk defense? When you have the two best teams going at it in the Finals, all that B.S. playground ball you seein from the Warriors now is thrown out the mf window bruh. It becomes a chess match, adjustments are being made on the fly, and it comes down to the best players in the league making the biggest plays when it counts most. Remember that.
And oh btw....you literally didn't mention how the 73-9 Warriors were top 5 in overall defensive rating yet couldn't muster up the defense needed to close out the Cavs in three tries when it mattered most.

Stop it, ain't no crowd louder than Draymond's mouth.
Plus Cleveland crowd loud too so it's a wash

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Golden State is stronger than they were last year and Cleveland is weaker, there's no way Cleveland pulls off another fluke victory in the Finals.

The funny thing is, people thought nobody would beat the 73-9 Warriors last year either.
To think CLE is weaker just because they finished second in the East is fallacious. People underestimating the defending champs just because KD is in the house is exactly how Adam Silver and the referees' union want it.
Oh btw...last year's comeback after being down 1-3 was no fluke. The only fluke that happened was how inexplicable it was for a team that won 73 games and top 5 in overall defense could somehow not muster up the D to stop the Cavs not once, not twice, but 3 times!

I don't care where they finished in the East. This is the weakest the Cavaliers have been defensively since LeBron has returned.

I hope someone is writing a manifesto on all this if the Dubs choke again.

All of what you said is true, but one thing that cannot be measured or seen as an intangible is the shift in momentum.
Once Draymond got suspended game 5 and Bogut and Iggy getting injured games 6 and 7, it's easy to see why the Warriors unraveled. It was a perfect storm for Cleveland. A lot of things had to go right for them to take the series and it did. Simple as that. Props to Cleveland for getting it done though. You have to chew the food after it's been cut up for you.

Those back to back 40 point games made a big difference
Basketball is a different "team" game. One of two guys can make all the difference.

I don't think so. If the Warriors and Cavs matchup in the Finals the series is going 6-7 games. Usually winners of games 3 and 5 have the best shot at winning the series.
