    That's BS. Making sure the Queen doesn't get tired and cramp up.

    I can't call this one, complete toss up for me. If LeBron is on a mission the Cavs have an edge. F Cleveland catches fire from 3 again that matters. If GS goes cold for a game that can change a series. I think GS is a slightly better TEAM, but having Irving and Love healthy, and adding a guy like Frye makes this so much different from last season, which went 6. If I have to pick I say GS in 7, but I would so much prefer GS in 5. Win games 1 and 2, get one of 2 in Cleveland, finish it off at home. Please..

    Oh and I don't buy the Cavs as the underdog stuff either, I agree with LeBron, it's stupid. Best team in the East, best team in the West, I don't give GS 66% chance to win or whatever it's at. I'm with Wilbon and Kornheisher, 50.5 to 56%, it's going to be a real series.

    I never seen so many people switch teams so fast. People were cheering for the Warriors to beat the Cavs last season, and now people want the Cavs to beat the Warriors this season.

    I want the Warriors to win simply because the LeBron/Kyrie/Love parade after the Cavs win will be unbearable. The Warriors celebrating back to back with a team built from the ground up is more tolerable imo.

    I'm sitting in a restaurant eating lunch and the storyline on ESPN is about how Lebron doesn't like people being late. Go to ESPN.com and the headline story is the same thing. Is this what our society has resorted to? Praising people for being on time for their job. What a novel concept

    Warriors in 5.

    Quick points as to why 5 games:

    - Cavs small ball lineup can't play defense
    - Love will be getting exposed a lot
    - I think Frye reverts back to the mean in this series
    - Warriors are one of the only teams that can control Lebron AND take away the teammate 3 that kills other teams
    - Klay Thompson isn't going to suck like last year
    - Delly barely plays now and his defense was key last year in getting two games
    - Cavs get all the talk for having a full team, but the Warriors have championship experience now. They won't be dipping their toes in the water this year.
    - Kyrie needs 20 shots for 25+. Plays perfectly into what Dubs want.
    - Warriors have Cavs number because the matchups (aside from Lebron) all favor the Warriors

    They packed the paint against the Raptors. That won't work here, so interested in seeing their D in this series.

    Tend to agree with this article. If Harrison Barnes doesn't have a great series, why would someone overpay him. He really does seem to be nothing more than a solid role player.

    for the record, i never got off the barnes for the max train. i'm going down with that ship!

    no, seriously, though. i think he's maybe the very best non-star FA fit for the lakers roster.

    My gut feeling is telling me Cavs win this series. It always seems to pan out like that. The team you think should win always ends up losing. It's like us and our super team vs. the Pistons.

    LeBron has game hair, and commercial hair. His game hair is desperately trying to escape. It's ok LeBron, let it go, shave your head before you go full Costanza.
