Finals

I don't think Cleveland is good enough defensively to win it this year. Their bench is weak as well. 

Golden State is legit.  The only real question mark is their youth and inexperience.  It would not surprise me to see San Antonio win it all again, but I think Golden State is the favorite this year.

Man, what a lucky break the Warriors got. The two teams that they struggle the most with play against each other in the first round.

[PhoSita]

Cavs vs Warriors in the Finals.   Bron loses in 6.

Only upsets I predict are Blazers over the Grizz and Spurs over Clips.  Chalk everywhere else, including Cavs over Hawks.
