OohMpa is not a warriors fan. If you've been here long enough, you'd know that. Check his posts here and confirm.

OohMpa no like loud mouths. You for just dey like Mizzzbeee or Smooshchn, they were a little bit reserved. If OKC won the series, he'd done the same to one of Decale's posts. He got away angry

No cry oooo....
So tiring. You can still tell me you not a gsw fan, SMH So your team wasn't built to last?!!? All you can do is stay with the 73_9 team after your team's been kicked out so you can get a lil shine?!!? And you still paint your writings like a fu<king girl?!!? Posting memes in favour of the warriors so you wont feel left out, Huh??

I think Klay has been the best player for the Warriors so far these playoffs. Doing the work he did on Lillard, Durant, Harden and still putting up his numbers. Not sure the Warriors care though. Ola Inu kan wa

This is a better Cavs team guys. Hard to predict but i'll bet against the defensive deficiency of Love & Irving. Need to stop the splash brothers from getting hot in a quarter.
Lebron will always be lebron.
I think Warriors in 7

KD said it in his post game 7 interview when he was asked whether GSW seemed to have had it easy at the 3-pt line: he said the shots that GSW made in games 6 and 7 to win were the same shots they had missed in games 3 & 4.

Apart from games 2 and 5, OKC dominated at the boards and paint and with exception to game 5, they lagged behind at the 3-pt line but the underlying truth is that had GSW shot (in games 3 &4) anything close to what they did in Games 6 and 7, those blow-out losses would have been way much closer and they may have even won those games.

The point here is that the Cavs have been impressive in this 2016 Playoffs largely due to their 3pt shooting. But in GSW, they face a team that not only defends better than them as a team, but one that also defends the 3pt line better and are at either position 1 or 2 (behind the SAS)in the whole of the NBA in defending perimeter shots.

To add insult to Injury, GSW (as a whole) is a significantly better 3-pt shooting team than the Cavs (even though Cavs have a better% as far as the P/Os go) and should their sparring be limited to shooting 3s- I sense it will be an easy series for GSW.

Without sounding too smack, the WCFs series has exposed GSWs frailties in handling taller and more athletic teams but it doesn't appear they would have that challenge with the Cavs. The margin of both offensive and defensive rebounds that GSW suffered against OKC will not exist in this series. The points off fast break points or the efficiency at the free throw line will also be curtailed as, save Kyrie, the other paint scorers in the Cavs team are not that fantastic at the FT line for e.g, Lebron.

I think it is safe to say that Cavs may need to switch their game to accommodate GSWs and when it fails, they better hope those wild 3s drop for them. They are a good passing team, with a mega super star in Lebron and a good scorer in Kyrie, so I expect each of the games to be close.

My antecedents for supporting GSW on this thread is well-known so I guess it should come as no surprise to see me lean towards them and say they got this in 5 or 6 games. I am not trying to disparage the Cavs- I do not see a game 7 in this.

But nothing is set in stone.
