Why are people so confident in GS winning this series?

[Marco Andretti]

Idk how but gsw will win ..

It is written

 

[Shadow King]

at first reaction I agree but going down their rosters from top to bottom

Men 8-12 goes to Cleveland.
5 & 6 are pretty much a wash but I'd have to tilt it to Golden State for their versatility.
Men 2-4 on GS > Cleveland and the gap between Bron and KD isn't big enough to erase that.

The Warriors defense is on another level, they are the better team. Like LeBron said they've been the best team in our league over the past three years. They have more wins over the last three years than any team in NBA history.

Also, I wouldn't doubt KD. KD isn't Harden, he has put up numbers in the Finals before and is a fearsome player always has been.

I'm rooting for LeBron, and I think intangibles can help will them to victory. But they CLEARLY aren't the better team.

It's not about who's better, it's about what actually happens. But we'll see.

Cavs "couldn't even" win 60 games last year while the Warriors won their 73. Only that the last 4 wins are the ones that matter.

And they were getting blown out before the injuries and Adam Silver stepping in

Oh you one of those

I'm just in this to see which brand of fukkery will nuke the servers:

The consensus GOAT of this generation of Ball Players going 3-5 in the finals after making so much history and becoming the best playoff scorer ever, or The most stacked team in NBA History, who have had the best three year stretch of any team ever, blowing two straight finals after being the heavy favorites

The fukkery after the finals will be epic.

Let me ask you this:

How do the Cavs defend the Warriors? Because we haven't seen anybody come close to containing their scoring. San Antonio came close but we still put a monster run on them and Kawhi or no Kawhi you knew it was coming.

I'm a W's fan. So yes I'm a bit biased.

But from an objective standpoint I just can't see Cleveland NOT getting shredded by our offense.

And Cleveland hasn't even been consistent offensively in the playoffs. They were down what...24 to Indiana? Let Brad Stevens beat them with a bunch of 2K Bronze card players by using "ball movement?"

A scoring drought against GS means death. Cleveland isnt ready.

It's not arguable anyway

Oh please with this shyt. You outta your mind. "Kawai or no Kawai you knew it was coming". I guess that's why it happened exactly when he went down right?

Y'all was no closer than 20 with Kawai playing and there was no one who came close to containing him.

Lebron is going to have a field day with this squad imo. Not to mention he'll be kicking out to players who are shooting 43% collectively as a squad.

 

[King Poetic]

Cavs got this

with tristan and bron in the paint on the boards will be hard for golden state to out rebound them..

Golden state ambassador to the coli Jill Scott heroine still hasn't explained how gsw will prevent Kyrie and lebron from having a layup drill fest every game even tho 39 year old ginobli and kawhi was getting there with ease

 

[Hey_zeus]

They gotta play the games. Nobody truly knows what's going to happen. Last year proved that.

 

[Remote]

You try to be realistic.

Golden State won 67 games with relative ease and their best player (Kevin Durant this season) missed something like 20 games.
This is a deep team with a good bench.

It's not that the Cavaliers CANNOT win.
Like if you were betting real money -- take your heart out of it -- who would you pick?

 

[brick james]

This happens every year with teams vs bron nothing new

''bron has 0 chance, so and so in 4 lebron 2-5 in finals''

then when they win all the plea copping and excuses start happening

Breh, the cavs are at +200, they are underdogs, and have been for the last 3 years.

You making up agendas in your head breh?

The Spurs were NOT going to keep GS from going on a run (notice how I didn't say coming back to win). I guess Kawhi was putting the clamps on Steph, KD, and Klay at the same time huh?

And you didn't answer my question. Who does Kevin Love guard? Who does Kyrie guard?

How do the Cavs handle the Warrior's offense when they JUST struggled to contain a Celtics team without Isaiah Thomas???
