Golden State.

Cleveland got lucky once.  I don't see it happening again.  Not against this Golden State team that just got progressively better and should be firing on all cylinders come June barring injuries.

The Warriors are favorites. Adding Durant ensures that.

The Cavs had a poor off-season. They added Dunleavy, but lost Delly, Mozgov and Mo Williams. They didn't have any wiggle room to downgrade.
Toney Douglas seems like a pretty good back-up PG.  Pretty nice shooter and ok defender.  Felder is a ball of energy though is very tiny and a rookie so you never really know what you get there.  They added Birdman as well, though I'm not sure he has anything left (of course they barely used Mozgov in the playoffs so he might give them that).  The Cavs still have a pretty strong top 9/10, which is really all you need in the playoffs.

It's hard to pick against LeBron after the most recent Finals. No rational argument can entirely erase the image of that chase down block on Iguodala, plus the horrid memory of all those bricked threes in the last few minutes.

That said, I don't think one can pick against the Warriors in any game in which the teams can be assumed to have relative health. They're just too stacked.

You just reminded me, if the Cavs make it to the finals again that will be 7 straight trips for LeBron. Monumental effort regardless of the weak conference.
