    I would think that would be logical.

    You sound like me when people say I should root for other pac 12 teams....other than my Alma mater.

    I hate the warriors, but I like that they are making x-nba players, and the media, look foolish when they disparage small ball.

    So the only honorable thing to do is to root for them both to lose?

    Cleveland hasn't faced a team nearly as good as the Warriors in the playoffs so far. Dubs in 6.

    Exactly. Who is the independent team in that scenario?

    With the Cavs having emerged as the only legitimate candidate out of a fractured group of weaklings with no legitimate challenger, while the Warriors survive a hard-fought battle with a vicious bulldog of an opponent, wouldn't the reverse of your statement be more fitting?

    Dubs are overrated. They rely way to much on Steph bailing them out.

    Yeah but at least they have a super star who can bail them out when needed. And it's not like Klay, Iguodala, and Green don't help out.

    I would say that both teams are very deep. I think it is going 7.

    Cavs in 4 or 5.

    Warriors can't play games when it comes to the King. 31.2 million!!! Silver isn't going to forget that number FAMS.

    The refs will make this stretch out to 7 games...to much money to throw away in the finals if they sweep

    Except that Golden State is going to win.

    Plus LeBron is the one with the suspicious "hair".

    That's totally reasonable, but I was looking at it this way:

    The Cavs are traditional, and led by a superstar that many people hate irrationally. (count me in among the LeBron haters)
    Golden State is non-traditional, prone to kicking people in the balls for no reason (and not getting penalized for it), and then there's that Golden thing.

    I think I had some other reasons but I've forgotten.

    Damn can you image how good that HS BB team would have been if Mychal had not got that radio gig in LA?

    I could care less who wins, but let me reiterate my position on this series. I'm REALLY hoping for one of these scenarios to happen: A) one team sweeps the other or B) one team loses in 7 after being up 3-0. Doesn't matter which team loses, but the scrutiny EITHER team would face if they were to lose under these conditions would be GLORIOUS.

    Delly is getting his own signature sneaker

    A role player like Delly getting a signature shoe? I don't know what to say. Andrew Bogut, and Patty Mills don't have signature shoes.
