67 wins playing in the West was unbelievable.
I really am hoping that they can beat the Cavs. If they concede LeBron his 30 every night and can contain Irving and the 3 point shooters they will win. If JR Smith, Shumpert, Jones and others are raining 3's while LBJ and Kyrie are going off, they'll lose.
I've read a few of the sports writers' predictions this weekend and the Warriors are favored to take the title by the majority. Not that it means much, just because it's fun and interesting to read the different analyses and opinions. It's anybody's series, in my opinion.
In most of the pieces, the Warriors are seen as having an advantage in every position except Small Forward, with LeBron of course being favored over Harrison Barnes.
The Warriors definitely have a better bench. That's a fact, not an opinion (in my opinon, haha).
Still, if Klay Thompson isn't cleared to play by the start of the series, I think it's a huge plus for the Cavs.
The Vegas odds currently favor Steph Curry to take the MVP and the Warriors to take the title.
Vegas Odds to win 2015 NBA Championship
Golden State Warriors -- 5⁄12
Cleveland Cavaliers -- 19⁄10
I'm excited for the series to start. So far, you, me and Gunnar are sitting on the Warriors side of the court. Donovan and Cutz are over there behind the King and his Cavs. Should be fun.
