I don't think they'll sweep as the Cavs will find a way to get one out of the next two. But the fat lady is warming up her voice for when the Dubs do take the crown.

I don't see the Cavs winning any games...the first two games were completely dominated by GS...they're just a much better team...

I think the Cavs will pull off at least 1 win. As a Celtics fan I realize we are a million miles away from Cleveland who appears to be a million miles away from GS.
I'd bet on the team that scores the most points.
2 home games does not a series make. The same thing happened last year. The Cavs then pulled out 4 of the remaining 5 games. Not so likely this year with Durant added to GS. I'd expect the Cavs to win at least 1-2 games, even if James has to do it all by himself.
1980's Boston Celtics or LA Lakers would have made short work of either one of these teams!
Sorry I could not help myself...

Reminds me of a t.v. interview from 25 years ago where someone from the "peanut gallery" of NBA players was trash talking Larry Bird when my friend looks up from his book and says "you couldn't effing tie Bird's shoelaces".
Don't know about classic Laker and Celtic teams, but like last year, I think anything's possible with the Warriors...but considerably less likely with Durant in the line up, the team at 100%, and the Cavs only having one LeBron. Curry was injured during last year's series and I'll give him credit for not copping to it...but I don't think it would've changed their implosion. This year is something different.

The first two games were 20 point wins, not even close...playing in Cleveland isn't going to make up for the Warriors being the MUCH better team...

And last year's 2 first games were 15 and 33 point wins for GS. Cavs came back in game 3 to win by 30. So much for history.
All of last year's finals were double digit wins....except for game 7 which was close at 93-89. These games have tended to be nail biters. When one team realizes they are not in the game anymore, they rest their best players and shoot for the next game. After last year's initial 3 blow out games, the next 4 were a lot closer. Important that Cleveland wins tonight...and I think they will.

The Cavs should've won that game, but then again, The Falcons should've won the SB, the Indians should've won the WS, and the Warriors should've won the NBA title last year...

Still phished that KD left OKC. Yeah, before I get the "he can do what he wants" or "he wanted a better team" baloney...consider this....Lebron was dogged for leaving the Cav's when he went to Miami...BUT what people don't realize is that he left to a team that had previously won only 43 games that season, KD left to GS with 73 wins....plus....OKC was at 3-1 in the semi's and lost still. I have absolutely NO respect for him nor will I ever. That's just wrong.
Like I said, the Cavs will win no less than 1-2 games in this series. It really should be 2-2 at this point.
Lebron can't do it all by himself.

It took the Cavs a record setting amount of points in the first half, and a number of 3 pointers so high that they'll never be able to match it again to get a win...I'm shocked they got one win....
