GSW is a better team. They should win. They are the favorites.

I honestly would just take Bogut out of the rotation like they did last finals and force Cleveland to make a decision about Love. I'll live with LeBron eating in the paint as long as he's taking 30 shots to score 30 points.

love wasn't in last finals..
if they take bogut out, I think that allows them to play love/Tristan together (put love on barnes or iggy on offense).. I think you still gotta give the bigs 20-25 collectively

Lebron numbers last year are very misleading... He was putting up huge number playing huge minutes. He also shot horribly due to playing too many minutes and with the whole D focusing on him. I remember last year Lebron will start strong and kind of fade off late in the game. A lot of it have to do with fatigue. GS basically benched Bogut, played small and fast and just ran the Cavs off the gym.

I know Love wasn't in the finals last yr.
And nah, I don't have confidence on him staying on the floor when GS goes small.
We shall see tonight!

When GS go small they usually go with Curry/Klay/Iggy/Barnes/Dray... Love will definitely guard Iggy. That will be interesting on how GS guards a Kyrie/Smith/Lebron/Love/TT with that small line up.

Realistically if they do go small I could see love guarding Harrison Barnes. That guy has basically turned into an average set shooter.

That would mean LeBron guard Green. Really interesting to see how Green handles that. Does he still move around and try to tire Bron out? Does this create the mismatch of Green on Kyrie/Delly or Smith?

Either team can come out flat tonight... GS tired after a brutal 7 game series with OKC or Cavs with the long lay off and opening on the road in a hostile environment.

nah.. Tristan would guard green if warriors go curry/klay/iggy/barnes/dray (or if they have Livingston in there)

I think TT moves well enough he could stay with Green. He will get beat off the dribble some, but I don't think there is a huge disparity there. I think Lebron will take turns switching on Klay/Iggy/Barnes.

Don't let manup's response right above you fool you.
Read through the thread yourself and come back and honestly tell me that the effort has been to make sure there is no Lebby slander at all.
#stahpit
Cavs go down 2-0 or even 3-0, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to keep all the Lebby slander out, and there would also be no effort to even accomplish that task.
But there WOULD be an effort to allow people a place to actually discuss the NBA Finals and what is going right for the Warriors and what is going wrong for the Cavs. And those that think, "What would be going wrong for the Cavs would be having Lebron James on their team" would be ushered out, because that's BS.
Agreed. The playoff thread has actually been good, especially during the OKC/Warriors matchup cause dudes were actually talking ball. You'd still get slander here and there but it wasn't on some troll status which you KNOW certain folks are just here to do.

With that line up you force Iggy/Barnes/Dray to beat you... See if they can make jumpers consistently all game long. If they do you just have to tip your hat. Green has been struggling lately. I'll pretty much leave him open out in the perimeter and see if he can knock down 2 threes in a row.

That actually would be a good strategy, imo, for the Cavs. Love can't defend and Barnes can't score so that works out perfect for them.
I see mentions of Trstan Thompson being agile enough to guard Green in here. I guess I always took him for being somewhat slow so I hope i'm not overlooking his abilities.

If Green starts to hit 3's, I don't see how Clev keeps the defense up.
There is a possibility of Green going cold this Finals. If this does happen, it makes things a LOT easier for Clev and they could win the series that way.
