Not to just a question to the hardcore Cavs or GS fans, but to everyone that knows this game inside and out. Is Kyrie the big x factor here?
I see a lot of pros and experts picking the Warriors in 6 or 7. If Kyrie plays and plays healthy enough, is that enough for the Cavs, or is he just too banged up? If so, is Lebron enough to do it? I love reading the posts here during NBA Finals time. It's my favorite time to read The Coliseum.
I feel like James has had a different look to him this post season and if anyone can carry the Cavs to a win it's Lebron. I think I'm still picking GS in 6 or 7.
kyrie is the X factor... because he can eliminate CURRY's contribution...
if he matches curry.. draw fouls.. guard Curry.. then cavs chances goes WAYYY UP..
you can put your other defenders on Klay and green and make them way less impacting...
you know bron will shut down barnes.. but greene might hold bron to 25ppg..
if Kyrie is doing only 15ppg brown has to do 30-35ppg and JR and Shump has to do 15ppg then..
Defense i think cavs take that one hands down...
both are excellent on the wing but cavs is much better in the paint..
i think this will go 2-2 after 4 games.. and coaching will take over...
if in 7.. superstars will take over.
