I have the Warriors in six ... I'd definitely rather see Cleveland prevail, but I don't think it's in the cards this season. Setting aside how they all played in their respective conference finals, below are my personnel rankings for the top players on both teams.
1. Steph
2. LeBron
3a. Klay
3b. Draymond
3c. Kyrie
6. Love
7. Iguodala
8. J.R. Smith
Only in blackjack does 19 beat 14 on any kind of regular basis (I know it's crude calculus, but it jives for my prognostication, and I think the Cavaliers lack sufficient match-up advantages to change the balance) ... |

I think the Cavs would have beaten the Thunder due to HCA. I'm glad the Warriors won.

Yeah, GS in 6.
I was pulling hard for the Warriors last year, but this year is different. They're far from the sexy, up-and-coming team that made them fun to root for. I get that many of their fans AREN'T bandwagoners, but that nouveau riche stench is really powerful.

Warriors' owner (Joe Lacob) is also a major doosh.

| Warriors in 6 games. Better team and coaching staff. Cavs don't have the athleticism or length to contain the Warriors like OKC did. |

Watch Draymond's next kick earn him a suspension.

Absolutely. They saved his suspension for the Finals. It will take much less than a kick to have him lose one or more games... |

A quick technical will put him one technical or flagrant away from a suspension. Their ace in the hole just in case the Cavs look to be in trouble.

Warriors all the way... here's why:
- The logo
- Kobe talks to Draymond
- Steve Kerr's grandparent's rescued Armenian orphans fleeing from the genocide
- Luke Walton
- Bcuz I love seeing LeBronze lose in the Finals after playing JV teams in the East
- Klay Thompson = Michael Thompson = Lakers |

I think the Cavs will win it all only because this just seems too predictable for the Warriors to win it all. I know the NBA is the least surprising sport but many said the Panthers were going to destroy the Broncos in the SB and we all knew how that ended.
Besides I don't see the NBA passing up on LeBron winning a title for Cleveland storyline which will be a lot more significant than the Warriors winning another one. |

He might be a douche but he didnt whine and cry like that pos Gilbert when we traded for CP3. |

| Forget what happened last June. Warriors handled a healthy Cavs team twice this year. |

On paper, you have to like the Warriors: Great team; they overcame adversity in the playoffs; and they steamrolled the Cavs in the regular season.
If I had to put down money, I'd go with the Warriors in 6.
That said, last year the Cavs took them to 6 last year without Love, Irving and Fry, and on paper they shouldn't have been able to extend the series tht long with all their injuries, so who knows?
Should be a fun one.
