The Cavs chances ended once their MVP and best player (Kevin Love) got hurt.

The Cavs can beat the Warriors, depth would be an issue, but they have the rim protection to run GS' shooters off the 3.

Can't wait for the finals.. Only thing about this playoffs I'm interested in
Can't wait to see GS do Cavs in 5 games max and to see LeBron throw away his jersey in frustration
Yes, the salt is heavy

Steph has been playing out of his mind.
Historic performances to me.

They can definitely beat the Warriors, I just hope they don't revert to ISO ball like they have been prone to do all season. They were literally the heaviest ISO use team in the league. Warriors will try to force them to play like that and they have one of the top defenses to boot

I dunno man. Warriors haven't looked all that great vs the Rockets. A team nobody really cares for. If it is GS and CLE, I don't see how it'll be Warriors in five. Maybe the deeper we go, the stage is maybe too big for GSW? Warriors in back to back games didn't close out the game well. Would be excited to see a Bron vs Green matchup, and how Shump fares vs Steph.

Weren't the dubs up close to 20 points in both games vs houston? I would say they've looked decent. Just need to control the pace more and build those leads later than sooner

All about perspective. You look at the fact that they were able to build those leads. I look at the fact that they gave up both those leads and the games came down to the final possessions.

If the Warriros win again the NBA needS to fire Foster. Isn't he averaging way more fouls called against the home team?

He was close with Donaghy, I definitely think he's working for Vegas, his game logs look funny in the light.

They built those leads in the 1st half if I remember right. It's damn near impossible to sustain a big lead like that for an entire game, almost never happens. The fact that they were able to sustain runs from Houston and still win says a lot, we saw what happened with the clippers

I see your point but honestly the general public hasn't seen the dubs at their best yet and still they winning.
When the TO's are cut down, plus Klay going off, Steph going off, plus ball movement = practically unbeatable.
Only team that can really match up are out the playoffs. Dubs should sweep Hou and Lebron should get at least one or two games in the finals.
No hate or homerism just fax b. Look up the stretch when they destroyed the Wizards, Jazz and others during the season; you'll see some of the best basketball ever.

The parallels of a CLE-GS and OKC-MIA series are so lazy.
-LeBron was better then than he is now; especially defensively. Good luck shutting Steph down. He was probably at his physical peak then.
-That Miami group collectively had just went to the Finals the previous season. Nobody on the Cavs has even sniffed where they are now outside of JR with the Nuggets. Perk doesn't even count as anything more than a cheerleader. Their contributors will be on the Finals stage for the 1st time as well.
-No Wade nor Bosh in a healthy Kyrie or a Love
-GS actually has an offensive system and is the best defense in the league
And a lot of other things that I don't care to list right now.

Regular season doesn't really matter, though.
Young dudes/teams usually have to go through some growing pains in order to win it all. Like I said, GSW hasn't looked all that great vs Houston. If a team like Houston with no sense of D can keep it this close, I wouldn't count out a Lebron led team.
