Warriors in six. Asking too much from LeBron to take care of a healthy Warriors squad with a hobbled Kyrie.
 
I'm still pulling for my Warriors. Didn't have a good game 1 and Lebron went off, and still found a way to win. If Steph and Thompson can actually play to their average potential, this isn't a series. Especially with Kyrie going down.

I really would have loved to see this matchup with Love and Irving healthy. This Cavs team really is no joke. They made some great moves and really do have a very good team around James when they are healthy.

And let's really give it up to David Blatt. He went from no name to almost out of league (rumored) to NBA finals, and in my opinion is showing on a grand stage that he really has coached this team, and they now get it.

You never know when you have Lebron on your team, but I am calling Warriors in 5.
 
At the onset of playoffs in my pool I picked the Cavs to win it all but I think the Love injury was a killer. The Cavs don't have enough offense to stay up with the Warriors who will prevail in 6. The fact the the Cavs made it this far without Love is a testament to how good James is and how weak the East was.
 
Without Love and Kyrie on a bad knee I just don't see Lebron having enough around him. If both teams are healthy I'd like cleveland's size. Cavs had their chance to steal game one and missed it. Terrible final shot. Settled for a fading three. Warriors in 6.
 
The Warriors have too much firepower. The Cavs are going to need a few unconscious shooting performances from J.R. Smith and dominance from James in order to win this series. It's too bad Irving and Love are hurt. With those two healthy, this series would have been a classic.
