The cavs need to neutralize Livingston.He's consistently killed Kyrie/Delle with his length over the last 2 seasons.Using his size against smaller guards is part of the GSW offensive gameplan.cleveland needs to guard Livingston with size(Lebron)
He is a key for the warriors. When he is on they dont lose. I like Shump on him, but its a great mismatch that GS exploits :whew:

I understand what he's saying,but lets not get silly.We barely beat Indiana in the first 2 games,and was down by 26 at the half of the 3rd game.Lowry/Thomas sat out multiple games in rounds 2/3.As great as Kyrie/Love are on offense,they are almost equally as bad on defense.Same goes for Korver/Fyre.Cleveland will need to control the pace,limit the turnovers,and play very good defense to beat GS....I believe we can do it.

Nah. Cavs just have to outscore the warriors in 4 games.

Picking the Cavs in 7. Not ready to bet against Bron especially if he comes in at that 32 8 8 level. We know Kyrie is going to get his 25 a night but Love is the key. Cant revert into a 15/8 player this series. He's gotta abuse Draymond down low and on the boards and be at that 20/11 player that he was during the regular season. Bron and Kyrie balance out what Durant and Steph will do so Love has to come out on top in his matchups. And they have to key in strongly on Klay who cant get going (and could be due for a big game) cause if he does its pretty much a wrap. If he's getting his average or better the Cavs are in trouble. If JR and Shump make him struggle I think the Cavs can pull this off.

That's just not gonna happen. Love needs to be on from the perimeter to keep Draymond from around the paint and from being a rim protector.

The reason I posted that is to show the seperation between these two teams versus the rest of the league. Granted I think those differentials would be a little different if Kawhi wasn't hurt. Cavs probably would've been better with IT on the court.

Even with all that it's a historical mark.

Cavs absolutely can win this series. If there was any team that was built to defy what the numbers say it's them. I just don't know if those bad habits can correct themselves consistently for 48 minutes in 4 games.
