With the chip on the line who will make it and how. Will Curry finally earn his Finals MVP? Will Klay show up with Iggy still out? Will KD average 36 ppg? Could LeBron really do the unthinkable?
I think it’s not totally unreasonable to think that Cavs might steal let’s say game 2 and come back to Cleveland 1:1. Unfortunately I think they might also lose at least one if not both games in Cleveland but who really knows?
The Warriors seem to have found their mojo back and no one really thinks they can lose this series but they have been far from invincible this year and if the Rockets didn’t brick 27 straight 3s but attack them more their season would be over now.
To me the biggest factors will be rebounding and defense for sure and not only the shooting. It‘s no secret the Cavs are awefull defensively but they can score somehow despite a true gameplan aside from let lebron doing his thing. If they can control the boards and if they manage to limit Draymonds influence they might have a chance.
If LeBron really could do this somehow, he is the GOAT, isn’t he?
Cleveland in 6 or the Dubs in 5 but I‘m rooting for the Cavs and hope Jeff Green plays a big role cause I still like him from his Thunder days.

The NBA Champion 96 Bulls have signed Hakeem in free agency and twitter explodes. We can thank Kd for signing with a 73 win team for a boring Finals

If the Warriors win, and i think its highly likely, that would mean tbey would have won 4 in a row with the exception of a few minutes of play. Thats pretty incredible in this era.
Speaking of incredible, what LeBron has done this season to date.. Wow. I know Harden is the likely regular season MVP favourite but i have no problems if Lebron wins or if he keeps it up, if he wins Finals MVP irrespective of whether the Cavs win or not. His play needs to be recognised. Its his best season to date for mine.

KD with the charge with 36 seconds to go and the Cavs leading by 2!!!
Wow
LeBron with another fantastic performance and like I said, if the Cavs can win the rebound battle, they have a chance.

  I really think they blew that call. Lebron was there. Should have been a charge imo.

Watching this first game I can definitely see the blueprint for the Cavs to win. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still picking golden state in a fairly convincing fashion, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s impossible that Cleveland wins, particularly if igoudala can’t play or is severely hampered.

Fucking bad refs. How the fuck can you give this many calls in favors of the warriors of all teams. On another note Lebron looking like a straight snake charmer. Cant believe people compared KD to Lebron

Call me crazy, but I don’t think Steph can guard LeBron.

Refs out here ruining the game. You can reverse this but you can’t reverse that. Be consistent. Either have review or don’t.
Jr Smith hahaha this MORON

Did the Cavs have a timeout when JR got the rebound? Couldn’t Lue or any Cavs player call a TO?

  They tried to when he started dribbling out. Refs didn’t see it in time.

    I think that’s a problem. If Lue was clearly signalling timeout, at a time when it would be obviously expected, why did no ref glance at the Cavs’ bench? In this case missing a timeout signal was just as bad as missing a travel or a foul.
    Also, LeBron could have called timeout too, but instead he pointed to George Hill in the corner, telling JR to pass it there.
