Game 1 Prediction
Comments

Good first half. Irving looks a lot better, which the Cavs need. They weathered Golden State's run as well.
Cavs are tough and better than they get credit for. Love to Thompson isn't much of a drop off, although Love's shooting is missed when the Cavs go small. -
Early observations:
Even though Curry won MVP, it's clear that LeBron is the best player on the court at all times. To be honest, not a huge difference between Curry and Kyrie. Kyrie at 100% is not far off from Steph.
Bogut is kinda of a bum. I've always been a fan of his, but he looks overmatched by the Cavs big men. He can't control rebounds and his best bet has been tipping the ball out.
Warriors have no answer for Tristan Thompson on the glass. Guy is one of the best offensive rebounding big men I've ever seen.
Why does Draymond Green shoot 3's. Hate to say it, but he's not much better, if not worst than Josh Smith at them. -
Those are pretty big overreactions.NeedleInTheSky88 said:Early observations:

Some are, some aren't. The Bogut one probably is. Although I don't think there is a huge difference between Bogut and Ezeli and Speights.RoadDawg55 said:

My other main observation that I forgot to write about was how much the Cavs are utilizing LeBron in the post. He isn't handling the ball much in the pick and rolls. Most of hits buckets are from post ups.

Agree on some. Bogut is better than the other two though. He's a good passer, better defender, and a smarter player. Speights is all offense. He looks great sometimes and other times he sucks. I agree Green isn't the best shooter, but he has to take open 3's to make the defense respect it. He does so much for the Warriors that you need to give him some slack.NeedleInTheSky88 said:

LeBron is LeBron. Best player in the game for some time now. At times, Curry is so dominant offensively that it's close though.
One of the biggest differences is how much better Golden State's bench is. Just a deeper team. -
LeBron is chopping
-
Dubs have no answer for LeBron on the block. They may want to think about putting Green on LeBron. LeBron is backing down with 4 or 5 dribbles until he is a few feet from the hoop.
-
Warriors forgetting they have the MVP on their team. Last few possessions have been horrible for gs.
At least Cavs "get it." They just iso LeBron every time. -
Jordan and Kobe end that game in regulation.
-
Well that didn't take long for Kyrie to get hurt. I think this is like his third or fourth injury/re-aggrevation of these playoffs.
