    I noticed in the other thread there wasn't a poll, and that people wanted to make predictions. So, here's your chance.
    Vote on what you think will happen, but of course talk about anything you want (like what you want to happen).

    My head says GS in 5.
    My heart says GS in 6.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I voted Golden State in 6. The Cavaliers are playing just enough defense in the playoffs that I think LeBron James can have a couple of ridiculous performances that grab wins.

    Head says Cavs in 6.
    Heart doesn't care because the Blazers aren't playing.

    Cavs in 7. LeBron doesn't need monster performances to win either. Cavs are very well rounded. Kyrie has shot at Finals MVP. 93% Warriors is ridiculous.

    It's to bad we had to sit through the whole NBA season just to watch a matchup that everyone could have predicted before the season even started. I hope it was worth it. Cavs in 6.

    I'm rooting for the Cavs. Watching Draymond, Curry, Klay, and KD cry is just too good. My rational brain thinks the Warriors will probably take this in 6 though. I would love to be wrong.

    Since we lost to GS, I prefer The Cavs. The city of Cleveland will call them saviors.

    Warriors in 6. I just don't think they can defend golden state. Lebron has to guard KD, don't know if he will produce the same offense he has all playoffs while guarding KD. Draymond will be all over love. Step hand kyrie will be a good match up. And oh yeah you have klay on the other wing. Cavs have the vets but golden state with KD should be able to pull this in 6, quite possibly could be 5

    I see there is no place to vote "Just don't care." LeBron bailed on his hometown team and ganged up with a couple of superstars in Miami. Durant bailed on OKC to join a whole team of all-stars in Golden State. Who can root for these guys?

    LeBron guarded KD in 2012 Finals and won the series in 5.

    LeBron went back though. The Miami Heat were like the college years he never had.

    Difference is the warriors have 4 all stars and let's face it, Lebron hasn't gone up against an elite SF in the playoffs this year

    Normally I don't respond to your posts but I'll make an exception here:

    Sit through the season???

    I'm sorry but basketball season (at least for me) is (singing) the most wonderful time of the year.

    And it's potentially interesting that that was the toughest series so far for the Cavaliers. They nearly lost game 1 at home and the series overall was remarkably close for a sweep.

    LeBron brought Cleveland their first Ring by coming back from 3-1.

    Nuff said.

    Cavs in 4.

    The top 2 on each team is about an even match. Love is the better of the 3rd options, IMO.

    This should be like an elimination bracket. Those 3 people who picked the Cavs in 4 are already out. Oddly, no one picked the Warriors in 4. Was this just because people were thinking with their heart over their head?

    That was kind of me when I picked GS in 6 but wouldn't be surprised if thet won in 5.
