I'll be stunned if Warriors close it out in 5.
Cavs have executed their game plan, there were things present before this series to make GS uncomfortable and they're doing it. LeBron-centric offense - either in post of searching for switches on ball-screens to attack, no live ball turnovers, beat up GS on the offensive boards.
No quick shots, no long rebounds and no turnovers = no run outs.
James Jones or player X sticking around in the back court after makes to choke Curry = no transition off of makes.
Stringing out ball screens, making Draymond or whoever else to make plays = fewer switches onto bigs (hello Houston, you dumbasses). Fewer scramble situations.
Warriors are left in the half-court as a team that has no low-post presence to work through. Cavs have presented a real stylistic challenge.
Curry and Klay can just make enough shots to separate - or Curry can become more aggressive with the ball to open things up but the Cavs are doing enough to make them grind out 6, 7 games. And I'm expecting a Game 7, and won't be totally shocked if the Cavs win this.
