  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
My game 6 prediction is that I expect the Warriors to start off well, but the Cavs to stay close and eventually pull out a close game and force a game 7. I expect James to have another great night with something like 35/15/11, Irving to be not as good somewhere in the 26 point range, and Love and Smith to combine for 30. I expect Green to have a triple double going with 18/12/10, Curry to have 30 on 45% shooting, though think Thompson will have a poorer game, something like 20 points but only in the 40% range shooting. Warriors will miss Bogut down the stretch when they need his defense (even if he plays I can't see him being a plus player defensively).

I expect Kevin loves goes for 8 points 4 rebounds and 4 turnovers. I think the game will be a lot lower scoring than the previous game because Green allows everyone to have a better matchup on defense. I don't really know who will win, it probably could just come down to who is hotter from the outside. Curry has not looked right since his injury and that is certainly concerning.
Curry is not playing in Olympics you know he is not 100 percent. If him and clay can get to 60. it is over. Bogut was a non-factor in last years closeout game. It is over tonight no way KI and Lebum have another night like that. If they do They will not in Game 7.
"People look at players, watch them dribble between their legs and they say, 'There's a superstar.'  Well John Havlicek is a superstar, and most of the others are figments of writers' imagination."

Gonna be a big game, but the Cavs should take this one and force a Game 7.

Refs controlling this game.

Barnes has to step up.

I cannot believe how bad Harrison Barnes has been.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

So James can run through people now in addition to having the most liberal use of his off arm in the NBA? Okay..

The MVP hasn't looked the MVP at all in this series. Same could be said about last year's Finals.

The whole he'd put up bigger numbers in a larger role yet he plays like a robot and can't hit open jumpers.

Yep. I don't think he's healthy this year, but that's still two straight lackluster Finals for him.
