Guess I'll pick the Warriors in 7. When Love went down I picked the Cavs to make the Finals and lose. After this run, I'd have picked them against any other team. If Houston had lucked their way into the Finals, I think the Cavs would have beat them in 5. But this team is a different animal.
I'm not going to lie, I think the Warriors are a little bit better than us as a team right now. They should be the favorites too.
We are the underdog, but if you believe in a team of destiny and all the crap. Obviously bias included.
I like the Cavs in 6. I think this team has been dealt with almost everything and its made them stronger too.
It's not going to be easy, and I wouldn't bet my lifetime savings on it, but the Cavs definitely have some mojo going and they can really do this.
We don't have to be the better team. We can be the tougher team though, lead by the best player in the world, and that changes everything.
I've been watching GS closely, they are really good. But I think this is a team if you punch them in the mouth, and are physical but clean, and have the firepower to counter, you can beat them.
They've not faced an animal like us yet in the playoffs, and nothing they went through before really prepared them too.
If GS would have went through the Spurs and Clippers, in some tight series, I would think differently. But Houston and Memphis aren't teams that have championship pedigree.
