Official poll.  Who you got and what number of games?

I'm sticking with my pre-season of Cavs winning and maintaining it will be in 6 over the Warriors as I have for much of the season.

I took OKC in 6 and they choked. Think Cavs in 6 is possible as warriors are banged up and tired.

The world is upside down. "Offense wins championships" is now the word.

Balderdash! (I'm not exactly sure what that word means but, I must use it here)

Two famous radio calls come to mind here, Havlicek making a steal to win the title against the 76'ers and the last second steal against the Pistons. Both of these examples did not involve some movie star arcing one in from mid court in a 230 point game.

Johnny Most smoked way to much while calling 16 title games in which...

Defense won the championship.

Cavs in 7.

Bron wins one on the road, Cavs shooters win one at home.

Warriors in 6.

In what world is Cleveland the team to pick if you think DEFENSE will determine this series?

You've seen Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love play basketball before, right?

I voted for Cavs in 6. So, they still one in Oakland, win both games at home, and then game 6 at home too.

Sheer speculation to be sure, but I also think a lot of people underestimate the Cavs. They have been the better team so far in the playoffs.

Woah, Greece. Back it up.

You're gonna have to make your case as to how the Cavs have been better.  To persuade me you'll have to take into account quality of opponents.

I don't understand the Cavs hype on this board. The level of competition each team faced in the playoffs was majority different. OKC might be better than Toronto and Atlanta combined.

How does Cleveland stop the 1/4 PnR? How does Irving and Smith contain Curry and Thompson when Roberson and Westbrook couldn't? Can Love even play in this series?

Warriors in 5 or 6. Beyond an injury, I just don't see any way that Cleveland comes out of this series.

 No competition in the East. The Cavs are not battle tested, The Warrior's are.

I think CLE takes finals in 6 games. They didn't have a full healthy squad last year. I expect LeBron to play a lot more aggressive this year's finals, more or less his performance in game 6 of conference finals this year.

I'm happy to be wrong though :)
