The Official NBA 2014-2015 Discussion (Predictions)

that wont be the problem, Lebron will get his, its going to be tough for the Cavs to stop the Warriors. I just dont see that happening, however, if the warriors continue to turn the ball over like last series, the Cavs love transition basketball and it will be a quick series.

 

heaving betting on the dog in this series, people have a lot of faith in Lebron.

 

With Irving limited to just catch and shoot and unable to drive to the basket it's tough for me to pick the Cavs. Warriors in 6.

 

Speaking of Irving, he and Curry were going off in the 2nd quarter, almost like "hey, if you can do that, I can do this". Really showed off their skills in that first game. I sure hope Kyree can hang in there, but you are right, he may not be able to drive to the basket. I still think the Cavs can take it. GS relies too much on long range 3s, and they can't stay hot for 7 games. If the Cavs tighten up their D on those, GS will start missing and get in a funk. Cavs in 7, with or without KI.

 

I just dont see it at this point. But you maybe right, I went to bed knowing for sure the Cavs had that game.

 

That's a tough game for the Cavs to get over. Inches away from stealing one on the road and now the butterflies from GS are gone. Kyrie was looking good as a pleasant surprise but now in huge doubt. Lebron did about as much as he could but the last play in regulation was kind of weak. JR Smith is too inconsistent. Now they have to put together a near perfect Gm 2 effort if they want to win in GS.

 

Blatt should have never played Irving for over 43 minutes with his knee problems. Now he is probably out for the series. Cavs will win one just because LeBron will have a monster game but then he had a monster game last night. Warriors in 5.

 

A little late for series predictions.

 

I had predicted 6. Just changed it to 5.

 

Kyrie out w/a patella fracture. Cavs beat Hotlanta w/o him. Still think they win it.
