I don't think it will be that easy. Kyrie looked good in limited minutes in game 4 against the Hawks. I expect him to come out looking close to normal. The problem will be how long it lasts. If he can go the series without tweaking the knee I think he'll do fine. If he starts gimping around after playing 20 minutes tonight I'll worry.

My theory is.. If we have 2 games of a good LBJ and a good Irving, we can win 2
Then a great LBJ will win us one by himself
then the TEAM will win one as a unit (JR will be out of his mind, or Shump/Jones)

Interesting that the talking heads rave about the Warriors..
but a healthy Irving and this is a different situation
toss in a healthy Love.. and the entire table is turned

This and we will need LBJ to be The King in 4 games.
Finding his outside stroke would go a long way towards that end.

Or just not wasting possessions back there when he doesn't have it...
I have no idea what to expect with all the injuries and long time off. I hope they do stagger Kyrie's minutes against Curry and let Delly harass somebody for awhile every game. He's a hidden weapon of sorts and seems like he definitely gets in their heads.

With Golden State's defense, Lebron can't afford to be sloppy. He'll have those games where he gets caught in the air and tries to pass out of it. Against GS, that will be instant fast break points. I wouldn't say he needs a clean sheet, but he can't have those 6 turnover games that he's had in the past.

I just want to see LeBron set the tone. We all know what I am talking about. The high energy LeBron that is storming up and down the court, grabbing the ball and getting it to a ref to inbound the ball quickly after a Warrior turnover, just a freaking menace. Even if it doesn't pay dividends off the bat...he absolutely needs to be a legend tonight and it starts with his energy.

Let's go Cavs

Cavs sweep. Lebron and co. are going to punk the fuck out of the Warriors and make Drayton Green and co. look soft. The Warriors are the trendy team. Let a championship caliber team scout them for 9 days and the jig is up.

This. Anyone notice how fucking drone business-like LeBron was in the post-game interview after they ape-fucked Atlanta to complete the sweep? He's "been there, done that" five fucking times. Of all his post-season series, this one means the most to him.

Anyone else getting the same sense of destiny here that was with Ohio State after they curb-stomped Wisconsin and then pushed Alabama around?

I think that the Cavs NEED to take one of the next two. I think they'll need to find a way to win twice there, which seems almost impossible. I figure that the Warriors will take 1/3 at Quicken.

So, you're predicting they take either game 3 or 4 in Cleveland with the Cavs closing out the series winning at Sacramento?
