If the Cavs want to play a shootout like they have their entire playoff run, then Warriors in 5. Love and Frye are going to get torched on D (specifically on Curry pick and roll), and you're betting on outshooting the Warriors for 4 games?
If the Cavs want to play more of a slugfest like last year's Finals (more Delly and TT, and slowing the pace) then maybe we are talking...
Lue needs to manage Lebron's minutes because he is the only glaring matchup advantage and they don't need him wearing down again. Lebron also needs to be open to playing some center in crunch time lineups. Will he hit his free throws or his outside shot? Warriors are definitely going to bait him to shoot jumpers, and probably hack him a bit and live with 60% free throw shooting.
I also think the Cavs' psyches are in danger of caving in if the going gets tough. They haven't been mentally tough all year and the only minor adversity they faced in the playoffs this year was losing two games in Toronto, a team everyone knew they outmatched. Lebron might choke out Kevin Love if he doesn't bring it. They might end up having to throw Love in the bushes to be honest. Kyrie, Delly, JR, Bron, Frye/TT.
On the other side, Warriors just have to play their game and adjust accordingly. Start Bogut on TT and gang rebound. If TT's athleticism is too much for him like last year's Finals then try Ezeli or go small. I have a hard time believing the Cavs defense and rebounding will be tougher then the athleticism and length that the Thunder offered. I think the "Death Lineup" is about to feast in this series.
