    I hate to say it but I think the Cavs get swept. The talent level on th Cavs simply isn’t there to compete or even make this a competitive series.

    Lebron could go 50-15-15 every game and it may. It be enough.

    Lebron is the best player on the court, but the next 7-8 best players are all on GS

    Lebron haters want nothing more than a sweep, sadly they may get it. I see Lebron, best case scenario, taking them to 6

    Can we just call GS the champs, give them the trophy, then put Cavs jerseys on Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook and play a 7-game series for the fun of it?

    Hate to say it, but Cavs are gonna be trounced in this series.

    The warriors are playing with the best coach and front office tandem in the league. Celtics are right behind them in that category. Even if Lebron stays, Cleveland needs some massive upgrades from an operations and coaching perspective.

    I could be a hell of a coach if I had the roster the Warriors do.

    Front office yes...coach, NO. With the talent they put on the floor they should be “untouchable”. Go Cavs,
    Go Bucks

    I agree with @AZBuckeye on Kerr. I don’t think he’s the best coach, but he’s the perfect fit for that team. He lets them play the game that they need to play.

    Imo, the Cavs missed the opportunity back when they could have gone after Tom Thibodeau. I think he’s the perfect coach for a LeBron team.

    I don’t know what the Cavs are going to do in the offseason, but I think they need to find a way to move guys like JR and Tristan Thompson. Do that and get JJ Redick. In addition to Redick, they need to do whatever they can to add either Damian Lillard or Kawhi Leonard. There’s a lot of leverage with that #8 pick.

    Would the Spurs give up Leonard, who might leave as a FA after next year, for Thompson, Clarkson, and the #8 pick? Maybe

    K Love is clear to play and Iggy is still out. It's about as good a situation as Kev can ask for.

    Even though Iguodala is their 5th or 6th best player, he's important in any series against LeBron and creates tough match-ups for Love to defend. Iggy out means more Looney, which means Love has someone he can guard.

    If they can hit 40% from 3, they could take game one.
