Cleveland's defense will finally be a problem. I think this is a 5 game series, but you know never know with James.

I'm kinda rooting for CLE, I'm still kind of salty Durant chose the Warriors, and also, I would love for this series to go to 7 games...the playoffs this year has been so bad, aside from our series with Bulls and Washington, Clips vs Utah, and Toronto vs Bucks

all the other series were 5 and less if i remember correctly

THIS...I don't see how anyone - this year at least - is pulling for Durant's team. I loved the Warriors and would have loved to see them in the Finals if Durant didn't go there. I am forced to root for LeBron because of the Durant to GS move last year. I'd like CLE in 6.

I don't know who to pull for. Last year I started out pulling for Golden State but I ended up feeling like they were being kind of jerky and soft. 

I think Cleveland will beat them again.  When Lebron gets headstrong he is unbeatable.  Cavs in 6.
Yup

Golden State in 6.

Should've won it last year, added Kevin Durant to loaded roster, and just seems to be on a mission to avenge last year.

I hope Warriors in 1. After Game one I hope the Cavs forfeit and fly back to that dump of a city.

How do you feel about hearing "LeBron is better than Jordan" screamed at you by ESPN and TNT all off season and every game next season?

I think Golden State in 5. I want to say 6 because of last year but they're so absurdly good I just don't see Cleveland getting more than one.

Also made me think of this - anybody see that Stephen A Smith has picked the wrong team 6 Finals in a row?  ;D ;D

Geez, game 1 isn't until next Thursday June 1st?

They are giving them a long rest aren't they?

Let them play. Too much waiting.

do it all playoffs. If they want more rest during the season all they have to do is cut the playoffs down a week to 10 days.  There is no reason teams in a series shoild have 2 full days off between any game yet alone games where they don't even travel.
