whats your prediction for game 7?

[ortonsaw]

Will the Cavs become the first team to win game 7 as the visiting team in the nba final after trailing 3-1?
Will the Warriors redeem themselves and show the world why they are 73-9?
Discuss.
Vegas odds: GSW -5; CLE +5
And does anyone know the status of Iggy?

[BlazerRed]

Lebron with 53, Curry with 25 on 10/25. Cavs win.

[Ben Simmons]

Warriors are gonna win. Game 7s on the road are just too tough

Lebron has shot way too well two games in a row. Barnes cant be worse. Love will suck.

[HylianNightmare]

Cavs, bring it home LeBron

[imdaman99]

I think Iggy is too important for us to not know about his status in a do or die game. If he is good and healthy, Warriors by 10+

[hold this L]

If Iggy is fine, I say Warriors by 14. Wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point, this finals series with all the blowouts makes absolutely zero sense. :lol

[Goofsta Knicca]

No Bogut = Warriors loss

This is what I need to know. A healthy Iggy, a fired-up Dray that keeps his composure and one other Warrior has a great game and I believe the Warriors win.

[morbius]

I'd say 90% chance Warriors win.

[hold this L]

Fvk his composure it's game 7. His composure being low this game gave a very forgettable performance. I want old Dray back.

[NBAGOAT]

cavs in a close one. I could definitely see why most people would pick the Warriors however.

[Bobcats2013]

dray is gonna get in Harrisons face and threaten to kill the nikka if he doesn't man up

I think everyone makes their shots and the cavs get shut down. fully expecting a drayGOD meltdown during the 4th quarter with about 2 mins left up by 20

hes gonna do alot of talking to lebron like only an ish legend can

[Smoke117]

Warriors blow out the Cavs...that's usually how these things end...with little drama.

[Kblaze8855]

I assumed the Warriors would win game 6 but still....game 7 at home? Eh. Feels like a game they come out hot and build a 16 point lead that is eventually trimmed to like 4....Steph hits a 3...and it never gets that close again. But who knows? Thats why they play the games.....

[fourkicks44]

One word...

Blowout

[Nilocon165]

I can confirm as a cavs fan that this happens all the time

[ortonsaw]

Warriors blow out the Cavs...that's usually how these things end...with little drama.
usually if same teams played in the finals two years in a row
the losing team will win the second time
such as 2013 and 2014 with Heat and Spurs

[coin24]

Warriors are banged up and the momentum is with the cavs, the dray suspension did its job:lol :facepalm

Unless the warriors come out on fire they're finished

[DirkNowitzki41]

LeBron wont let the Cavs lose the game with a championship at the line

[plowking]

Whoever hits their 3's.

I'm hoping either Steph or Bron wins the MVP. I honestly think Bron deserves it regardless of a win or loss. He has been that good, and I don't think anyone on the Warriors is deserving. But at the same time I thought Curry was a FMVP lock last year and they gave it to Iggy who was completely undeserving of it. So what do I know?

A good game would be nice. Today's game was good even if it was a blowout for lots of it. You never really felt the Warriors were ever out of it. When it got back to 8, I thought they'd make it close, but LeBron was too good today.

I think the difference between the teams is that the Cavs don't have the ability to keep themselves in it if they go down big, where as the Warriors do.

[necya]

my prediction goes for the Warriors.
They play at home and i don't see that 73-9 team losing 3 in a row. Plus, it would the very first team to lose a game 7 at home after leading the series 3-1.
But the situation is really awkward, i can't recognize the team who has played the last 2 games, they are not playing with their usual intensity and the Cavs gained a lot of confidence and put some efforts on the defensive hand.
And for the agenda, i really don't want to see those teams built like those 08 Celtics, 09-10 Lakers and 12-13 Heat made of superstars joining after a phone call "hey, let's play together, we will finally win something"

[Springsteen]

Definitely see this happening

[sbw19]

Be a bad time for GS to lose 3 straight for first time this year if they do. Steph or LeBron, whoever loses quite possibly won't recover, least legacy-wise. All-time greatness on the line for both. And for what it's worth: win or lose, Durant to GS won't sound like a surplus anymore.

Anyway.. My head says Warriors in a blowout. My heart says Cavs in a contested epic.

[sportjames23]

Lebron is having a phenomenal series and led his team back from a 3-1 deficit against a 73 win team to force a game 7... I don't think Lebron's legacy suffers if he loses on Sunday.

[feyki]

Greatest test of Lebron's entire career . Let's see him , loser or winner ?

[West-Side]

I'd say 90% chance Warriors win.

Really? Cleveland destroyed GS last 2 games. Mostly because of their defense. LeBron and Kyrie are playing at their peak, JR is hitting every shot, the rest of the team is full of confidence. GS looks weak and shocked. Curry/Klay been mediocre, they lost Bogut, Iggy is hurt, Green looks like crap. I don't know, their open shots aren't falling, they turn the ball over... I really like Clevelands chances. I'd say 55/45 for GS, only because it's so rough to win on the road in game 7.

[WallIn]

Lebron is going to will his team to victory imo.


Cavs by 8, Lebron and Kyrie 30+. LBJ will be named Finals MVP obviously.

[VengefulAngel]

*Home teams have such a massive advantage in game 7's. I can't imagine GSW losing this.

[Klay 3D]

117-109 Warriors win

Cavs shoot 38/51 free throws
Warriors 18/22

Klay and Stephen combines for 20 threes.

[Young X]

I can't see the Warriors losing. The game will be close for the first 2 and a half quarters then the Warriors will pull away and blow the game open.

[Tmuston Beltics]

Cavs are still an underdog. If you look at the odds you can clearly see they are like 65-35 dog.

If they somehow manage to win this g7 against GSW(one of the greatest team ever) in their arena, it will be one of the best comebacks I have ever seen.

[Achilleas]

it will be blowout
gsw players angry come to play and destroy cavs
or
gsw players angry and start fighting and destroyed by cavs

this game will be determine by how will gsw players react

[Proctor]

Curry WILL play well. Hopefully Klay is decent and it would be even better if Harrison Barnes could hit a wide open shot or two.

Warriors 105
Cavs 99

Varejao needs to see early time and flop around like a fish in the desert. If he can't get calls, take him out. Consider playing Brandon Rush if Barnes remains ass. Try to assimilate Speights somehow because Oracle will go ballistic if he hits even one shot. Set illegal and/or dirty screens galore for Curry.

I want to say the Cavs will win but that would depend on both Kyrie and Lebron playing at an extremely high level and in a game 7 at Oracle I don't see both of them doing that. Then again, the importance of momentum going into a Game 7 can't be understated.

[dude77]

lebron and co. about to get ass raped .. again

curry responding to lefggt taunt (https://twitter.com/NBABeLike/status/743829968501735424)

[HoopologyPhD]

Love Delly and RJ will combine for 40 points.

Kyrie 30+, Bran will have a worse FG% but will still put up 20+ with 15+ assists and 10+ rebounds.

[PP34Deuce]

Love Delly and RJ will combine for 40 points.

Kyrie 30+, Bran will have a worse FG% but will still put up 20+ with 15+ assists and 10+ rebounds.

Physically the CAVS are tougher. They refuse to let the warriors play their game. CAVS aren't scared of this Warriors team anymore.

Shaun Livingston has struggled the last 2 games and a lot has been with JR Smith or Jefferson switching on him in the midrange area.

Shumpert is a pest to Klay.

[tamaraw08]

I see GSW playing great defense, Ezeli finally controls the rebounds and patrols the middle. Lue reacts in the mid 2nd Quarter and put Mozgov to hack Festus.
Kyrie finally cools down and struggles to hit his shots.
Warriors builds an early 12 pt lead, Cavs scores less than 22 pts in the first quarter.
Smith also cools down but continues to brick his shots.
Barnes hits 3 of 5 3pt shots in the first half.
3rd Quarter Cavs continue to struggle to score, lead balloons to 18 pts as Curry and/or Thompson gets wild and hit 3 straight 3's, game over.

[PP34Deuce]

I think the key with Lebron is he hasn't forced the 3 ball looks.... Players are moving without the ball and they aren't trying to get in a 3 point competition with the Warriors.

3-4 of his assists were to a cutting Tristan. Lebron has adjusted his game and become more decisive.

[ImKobe]

Warriors

Curry game-winner

Bran stans go back hiding

Tbh its hard to see that gsw lose 3 in a row especially its game 7 playing at home
But its also hard to see the cavs lose because they got all momemtum winning 3 of the last 4 and bogut out and iggy hurt
I dont know the vegas odds now
But if u have to bet
Who would u bet your money on

Cavs D scares me. It's not a coincidence that Cleveland dismantled them last 2 games. It starts with their D, it creates fast break opportunities and has completely rattled GS. Theie best players can't get open shots, Green looked bad game 6, Bogut out, Iggy hurt. I like Cleveland's chance. Especially with how Kyrie is playing. Confidence and momentum is so important but home crowd in game 7, might be more important.

Warriors missed wide open shots and were missing either Green or Iggy in Games 5 and 6

they aren't going to go down at home in a Game 7...

[ScalsFan21]

If the game is really close and down to the wire (which it could be), I do think GSW is better built for that situation, they're the best in the league IMO at late-game play. 4 definitive wins from the Cavs including a road G7 against THIS team is a lot to ask for, so I do think that is a big advantage to GS.

That being said, I'm a true blue Bransvestite for lyfe and not ashamed of it.

LeBeast 109

[West-Side]

Why do you guys think GS can just magically turn it on?
Last 2 games, they looked really bad on both ends. The way James/Kyrie are playing, it might just be enough to win.

Similar to Kobe/Shaq against Kings in game 7 in the road. Two superstars playing at a high level is a difficult challenge to overcome.

Because we saw this in the OKC series

Warriors dropped two in a row in big blowouts (worse ones than these in the Finals) and they were going up against a team that seemingly had no weaknesses in their defense and also had the size advantage and how everyone praised KD/Russ (including me) and then bam GS somehow won 3 straight in convincing fashion

Warriors haven't lost 3 in a row all year, they have yet to lose twice in a row at home, Game 7 you will have both Iggy and Green playing, which will make a big difference.

[Meticode]

I have no f*cking clue what's going to happen. Before the series I picked the Warriors in 6, then after the first two games I thought it might only go five. Then the last two games have been crazy.

In order for the Cavs to possibly win they need mainly 3 things to happen. Irving's got to get his at least 20+. Tristan Thompson needs another great performance. And most importantly if Iggy is slowed, LeBron needs to attack the god damn paint every single time he has a sliver of a mismatch or opening. He's got to be super aggressive, but also making the right decision in passing like he has the last two games. This will be the hardest game LeBron's life and probably everyone else on that team.

Lue needs to decide what to do with Love. Whenever Love or Shumpert was on the floor last game they coughed up leads.

Yeah warriors havent lost 3 in a row all year and no team has ever won the series after the away team trailing so if the cavs won then a lot of records will be broken as well
As much as i hate the cavs i really like chances
Gsw has beeen a different team since game 4 or the cavs have found the recipe to beat the warriors

ahh the Shaq/Kobe combo vs the Kings in game 7.:eek: Yes, they were good not great, they needed OT inspite of the great choke jobs of CWebb and Peja particularly the whole 2nd half and OT with a ton of bricks.

Bear in mind that the Cavs esp Kyrie and Lebron shot like 61% and would not miss in the 2nd half, I would be shocked if that happens again.
I would be surprised if Barnes continue to slump. I expect Smith to cool down too. I can't see Lebron hitting those 24 footers consistently.
GSW's great defense would be felt early.

[pegasus]

Cavs by 8. They have all the momentum, and I doubt the refs will start calling the game differently in the final showdown. They've been letting the Cavs pull and shove Curry all series. He's gonna have to play through it, but it won't be enough with Bogut out and Iggy hobbled. The league really screwed them by extending the series. I don't think they necessarily wanted the Cavs to win, but they certainly wanted a game 7.

And the free throw shooting. That was just ugly to watch.

The 02' Kings are among the teams in history such as the 69' Lakers and college teams like 83' Houston, 87' Syracuse, and 08' Memphis that probably would have won championships if they didn't mess up at the free throw line.

Arguably the 84' Lakers too.

[GrapeApe]

I'm not sure what to make of this one. The home team wins 80% of game 7's, the Warriors haven't lost 3 in a row all season, they haven't lost consecutive home games all season, no team has ever come back down 1-3 in the finals, and only one team in the last 25 years has won games 5 and 7 on the road. That's a lot of unfavorable odds to overcome.

With the Warriors missing Bogut and Iggy being banged up I think the Cavs have a shot to defy the odds and make history. That being said, I think the Warriors are due for one of those games when they can't miss. They are too good to have 3 bad games in a row and 2 bad home games in a row.

Warriors: 112
Cavs: 102

I wonder if you will continue to hate on LeBron should they win game 7. I suspect you will but who knows.

Lue needs to decide what to do with Love. Whenever Love or Shumpert was on the floor last game they coughed up leads.

I think he starts Love, and then once Love proves once again how awful and useless he is, Lue will call a quick timeout like 5 mins into the 1st to bring in RJ.

Shumpert is also a problem, the guy is terrible defensively in this series and cannot make any shots.

[FashionIssues]

warriors have no way of defending the cavs in any facet. shoot away. warriors by double digits. mvp: klay

[AintNoSunshine]

LeBron wont let the Cavs lose the game with a championship at the line

Is that why he's 6/6 in the Finals?

Let's be real guys, all odds are against the Cavs, no team has come back from 1-3 in the Finals, let alone this is the best team ever record wise, let alone in the best arena ever, let alone no MVP has ever lost a game 7 at home ever.

If Cavs somehow find a way, I would be so shocked.

None of this matters. Lebron has Kyrie, a man who did better in the finals than MJ.

The only way the cavs lose is if lebron doesn't do enough.

LeBron wins one for Da Land

[midatlantic09]

I'm naturally inclined to say Golden State since they're playing home in a game 7 of the NBA Finals, BUT this could be the game when Lebron goes all out and has literally his best game ever (something like 60/20/10 on 55% shooting)...resulting in the Cavs winning.

[ortonsaw]

yeah with bogut out, iggy hurts, and barnes sucks
i like cavs chances
