NBA Finals: Predict the Result

[justfollowingtheelections]

Cleveland/Lebron (normal, I think?)

What?  The Warriors are the clear favorites, if Thompson is healthy (and it appears that he is).  I personally think it will be a lot closer than most people think it will be.  The Cavs starting 5 (plus Smith) is not bad at all, but the Warriors depth will give them the title, especially if the series goes to 6-7 games.

I realize that the Warriors are the better team, but I think it's "normal" to think Lebron wins. Maybe not normal among basketball fanatics or San Franciscans, but normal across America.

Nah, the Dubs are just too good, and Lebron isn't superman (he has lost more NBA finals than he has won).

Obviously I'm changing my prediction, but if Lebron somehow pulls Cleveland to the top now, I think that a lot of the haters/greatness deniers would back off.

Dellavedova is the man

If the Cavs win it all, I think it's time to start talking about LeBron as the GOAT. He's willed a group of scraps to a 2-1 lead over the best team in the NBA.

Lebron will play better, he wont let Curry take it away this time.

I picked the Warriors in 6 because I thought and do think they are the better team. Maybe they'll need 7, IDK. But the Cavs get no sympathy from me, none at all.

In what I caught of that game last night, Stephen Curry was sensational. He suffered from dehydration following the game, which was the big news today, but appears to be all-go for Game 6. Should Golden State go on and win, he should be MVP.

Lebron currently is putting the 6th greatest finals performances ever behind

1. Shaq 2000(Total Domination and annihalation of the pacers ,)
2. Jordan 1993( 41 points a game)
3. Jordan 1991( Jaw Dropping Stats, His Coronation as the G.O.A.T)
4. Shaq 2002( Another total domination)
5. Shaq 2001(Totally dominates 4 DPOY Dikembe Mutombo)
6. Lebron 2015(Can jump to 5 or 4 depending on how he performs the rest of the series)

My hats off to Curry, he is an elite player, that can beat Lebron.

I will be rooting for GS to finish job.

Everyone in Chicago is relieved Lebron lost. Due to his attitude towards the Bulls. Given that his mama lives here, and before he went to Heat, indications lead one to believe he was coming here.

Good luck G.S.

Like I said the Warriors were too good.  The series was very similar to their series vs New Orleans, Memphis and Houston.  They struggled in the first 3 games, but their depth allowed them to play at the same level for 4, 5, 6 games, as many as necessary while their opponents were getting tired.

Lebron as I said isn't superman.  Great numbers, excellent effort, but he was also very inefficient.
