Ive rooted against the warriors in every playoff series, every hyped regular season game... And Ive always been wrong. So I can't front like the Warriors aren't overwhelming favorites. LeBron aint winning this one. Not with a phantom superstar on his roster 
I like Mo Speights man.. maybe Ill just root for Mo buckets

OKC got those leads with offensive rebounding and dominant paint defense.Only tears shed (if any) will be of joy...cuz the cavs won't blow 13 point leads over and over like the thunder did...ya heard
fukk are Kevin Love and TT gonna do for the Cavs?
TT was getting bounds galore last year...Channing frye is 7 foot, K love is much more ready...Bron gonna get BOARDS...oh and uh Mozzy still Sittin court side ...size ain't a problem fam
Cavs dont have Adams, and Ibaka. They don't have roberson, and they dont have kanter. The length was the issue for GSW.
You got guys here that really believe going small and getting into a shootout is the way to beat GSW.
Draymond might actually be useful this series

Zach Lowe mentioned in article how Kyrie and Love are the worst pick n roll defenders in the league
Point guard Kyle Lowry has destroyed Irving, especially in Game 4 on Monday, either losing Irving behind screens or juking him out of the play by faking toward a pick -- and then bolting the other direction. Those same fakes bait Love into lunging the wrong way and defending air.
Opponents in the playoffs have scored 1.09 points per chance when they involve those two as the primary pick-and-roll defenders in a play that leads directly to a shot attempt, drawn foul or turnover, per SportVU data provided to ESPN.com.
That would have ranked last by a mile among 119 two-man combos that defended at least 250 pick-and-rolls in the regular season, per that SportVU data set.
Zoom out to include any trip that features a pick-and-roll targeting Irving and Love at any time, and the number gets worse: a hideous 1.207 points allowed per possession, stingier than only one of those 119 duos -- the Jrue Holiday/Ryan Anderson pairing in New Orleans
These are the sort of numbers that had members of the Golden State Warriors' coaching staff quietly fretting when both Love and Irving missed last year's NBA Finals, forcing the Cavs to play superior defenders in their place.
Steph and Draymond are gonna eat off that.
Love wont be able to play 4th quarters in this series.

When did the format change? I thought it was always a 2-3-2 format?

Every team has 7 footers though.. OKC came at the warriors with a ridiculously well rounded front court. Adams has crazy athleticism and size.... Ibaka can hit 3s and play elite defense.... Kanter can play the finesse game.
I don't know much about the Cavs, but i know that TT won't give you anything but rebounds... and Kevin Love is a liability.
Whats up with Mozgov anyways? Dude fell off the map
GSW about to shyt on the Cavs

Thats what im thinkin in regards to Draymond. I see Love as a liability as well, the Cavs are likely better off with TT and Frye in there
