NBA Finals: Predict the Result

Cleveland/Lebron (normal, I think?)

What?  The Warriors are the clear favorites, if Thompson is healthy (and it appears that he is).  I personally think it will be a lot closer than most people think it will be.  The Cavs starting 5 (plus Smith) is not bad at all, but the Warriors depth will give them the title, especially if the series goes to 6-7 games.

I realize that the Warriors are the better team, but I think it's "normal" to think Lebron wins. Maybe not normal among basketball fanatics or San Franciscans, but normal across America.

Nah, the Dubs are just too good, and Lebron isn't superman (he has lost more NBA finals than he has won).

Like I said the Warriors were too good.  The series was very similar to their series vs New Orleans, Memphis and Houston.  They struggled in the first 3 games, but their depth allowed them to play at the same level for 4, 5, 6 games, as many as necessary while their opponents were getting tired.

Lebron as I said isn't superman.  Great numbers, excellent effort, but he was also very inefficient.
