I hope the Cavs win it. Just because I think this is James's best window of opportunity with this team now. I'd hate to see him struggle for the next 5 years trying to get a chip in CLE.
In saying that, I'll be happy if the Dubs win it also. Great team that is just smoking hot right now!

Cavs in 6.
Agree with above, this is Lebrons best shot at it. You know what you are gonna get outa Curry and Thompson, same as you know what you are going to get outa James and Irving, but I reckon Cavs have got the better x-factor players. Bogut can't run the floor and doesn't have the midrange and athleticism of Mozgov, Thompson has proven himself as one of the best rebounders in the game and possibly the best offensive rebounder in the NBA right now and there is no questioning Delly's determination and commitment and fearless approach taking on some of the leagues best point guards.
Its the finals and anything can happen. Guess we'll find out soon enough!

I had Warriors in 6 before today, but now saying 5
Kyrie is gonna struggle to get another game in and Lebron can't do it alone.
Warriors started out with a scoring drought today. Should have been a closer game after the first qtr
Warriors are WAY too deep for the Cavs. Speights, Livingston, Iggy, Ezeli, Barbosa will all do their bit more often than James Jones will

Whilst this is fast looking like a sweep or 4-1 at best, don't discount the fact that GS played very well and got good games from pretty much everybody, usually that type of bench production slows down on the road.
But LeBron needed to win that game in regulation for them to have a chance in this series. Disappointing from the "chosen 1".
GS have shown they can't get a body on TT and let's hope Delly got out the nerves game 1, he struggled in his 7 mins.
Question, if LeBron averages 40PPG and the Cavs get swept, can he still get the Finals MVP?

Kyrie is out for the rest of the Finals - just announced.
You might want to remove the Cavs completely from the voting options
I would like to revise my answer of Warriors in 7...
Theoretically speaking he can still win the Finals mvp even if the Cavs lose. But in reality the chances of something like that happening are pretty much non existent. The norm is that the Finals MVP always goes to a member of the champion team.
Last time that didn't happen was in 1969, when Jerry West was awarded the Finals MVP, although his Lakers lost to the Celtics in the Finals.
So, yeah, Lebron, not looking good mate
