Put up or shut up: pick the Finals

Warriors in 7 for me.

Can someone make this one a sticky?

I voted 5, wouldn't mind it going 6 so Cavs fans get to 'witness' it again.

That's cold LOL. Cleveland is such a fucked over sports city that if it wasn't the Warriors playing I'd be rooting for the Cavs. I won't be too bothered if they win it.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Warriors in six. Book it!

 

[CodeBreaker]

When all healthy, Cavs in 6

 

[RobToxin]

If Cavs are going to win it, they need to do it in 6. You just don't want to be the road team in a Game 7.

I do like Cleveland's chances better that it's no longer a 2-3-2.

Warriors in 5. It would be nice for a Bay Area sports team to win a championship at home. I can't think of the last time it happened. Maybe the A's in the 1970's. I don't count the A's winning at Candlestick in Game 4 of the Bay Series or the Niners winning the Super Bowl in Palo Alto.

You would think that's true but a tweet went out Monday saying teams that were up 3-1 actually were like 7-7 in road game 7s. Now 7-8.

I'm going Warriors in 5 but I really don't feel like I have a good handle on this Cave team. I am probably not giving them enough credit.

 

[The Derski]

Id like it to be Cavs in 7 but GS isn't losing a game 7 at home so i went with GS in 7. Also wouldn't surprise me if GS wins sooner than that.

 

[The Derski]

Draymond may miss one of these games if he keeps pulling shady shit and they finally call it.

Exactly. And if for whatever reason you think the Cavs win the series (not in ANY way out of the question), it has to be in 6. No way in 4 or 5, and no real way in 7 on the road. It would have to be like if this last series OKC had handled their business in game 6.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Cavs in 7.

*It should be noted that I haven't picked a series right since the 1st round.

 

[Bolts]

Can both teams lose the series? That'd be my pick

 

[RobToxin]

You are talking about playoffs period.

I am talking specifically NBA Finals.

And the last time the road team won Game 7 of the NBA Finals was 1978.

Almost 40 years ago.

Yeah, Cleveland wants to finish them in 6 or less.

 

[gordontrue]

6 of you will be wrong by Sunday night.

 

[avalon2423]

Warriors in 6. Cavs have 0% chance if this goes to 7 games, So Cavs would have to win this in 6 if they are going to win.

 

[LogicMan]

Cavs in 7. Cleveland fans deserve one, and all of a sudden I am finding Steph too cocky and Green a thug. Now Klay on the other hand cannot be disliked. Klay is a true classy dude

 

[Across The Field]

Cavs in 3

No rooting interest in it for me...just think CLE is a different team in this finals...I like them taking one of the early game in GS and not losing at home so CLE in 6 was my pick...if it does go 7...it will be a repeat for GS.
