Mind obviously says Warriors and heart obviously says Cavs. If Kyrie is close to 100% - big IF - then Cavs may have a shot.
I'll be happy either way. A little more happy if Cavs win of course. Hope the series is long and fun.

Will be surprised if there's a sweep.
Cavs need to dominant on the boards if they want a shot at this. Lebron, Thompson, Mozgov and the guards all have to rebound.
Lebron has to play inside and attack attack attack and get Green in foul trouble early in couple games.
For Warriors to win - they just gotta be themselves. Better team in several areas.

So do the Warriors just try to take LeBron away, and force the Cavs to win without him?
I know, easier said than done, but if you can just constantly double LeBron, get in his face, try to get him frustrated, etc, and force Kyrie to be the series MVP, it seems like a good strategy.

Lebron is not beating this team alone, I don't think doubling Lebron is the way to go. Just do not let his role players beat you and they should be good to goOriginally posted by Niners99:So do the Warriors just try to take LeBron away, and force the Cavs to win without him?

Yes that's correct he is a champion according to himself, even though he's never actually won a damn championship.

Opposite of this.
Lebron likes to pass. He likes to get his teammates involved. So you take that away and you force him to score 40 pts.
Problem is - if Lebron is scoring really efficiently - which he often does when guarded one on one - then he can put up points in a hurry. It'll be layup and pts in paint. But, scoring quickly is what Warriors can do as a team - so that should be their overall strategy IMHO. Make Lebron score 40pts to keep up with Warriors and keep his assists around 4-5.

Is LeBron really gonna guard Curry? If that's the case, I really like the warriors' chances in 5 games

This. I would never double Lebron. Let him go out there and get 50 points and make his team become spectators on offense.
