LeBron was upset with his work load in Miami due to Wade's injuries, in Cleveland more injuries to Love and Irving, same work load ;D

big big difference is he doesn't have to play inside with TT and Mozgov.

I think if you're one of the best players ever, the workload is going to be massive no matter where you go ::)

Warriors in 6 but I'll be supporting the Cavs.

Seems like most are going Warriors in 5 or 6. Should be a fun series that's for sure. Any time you have Curry, Klay, Draymond, LeBron, Kyrie and two Aussies in a game, it's going to be good to watch ;D

Might chuck a preview up if I get some time tomorrow.

I'll be going with Lebrons Cavs in 7.  Lebrons finals experience will get them over the line, as they say, you gotta know how it feels to lose one before you can win one.

I don't see the cavs defense being good enough to slow down curry n klay nor can their offense keep up in a shootout, they will get 1 game probably gm3, I think the warriors will run em out the building in their wins

Lebron and Shumpert two of the very elite wing defenders. Im a little worried about their offense though and it all depends on Kyrie, Lebron cant outscore the warriors despite how good he and their defense is.

Shumpert isn't a very elite defender. He's probably their second best perimeter defender, but not on the same level as Iggy, Allen, Beverley or any of those guys.
I think the Warriors' defence is well equipped enough to be able to snuff out the Cavs' offence quickly and it will be interesting if (and how) the they evolve over the series to counter that

fair enough remove the very elite but he is very very good and i would say he is better the warriors second best wing defender. remeber cavs have lots of shooting fire power too.

GSW's second best is probably Klay, and Shumpert is probably just a bit better on D I'd say. But after him, Green, Curry, Barnes and maybe even Livingston are consistently better than anyone else on the Cavs. Marion doesn't play and JR is as on and off as they come. I reckon that depth will make a world of difference as the series progresses, especially since the Cavs only go 3 deep on the bench

I think LeBron will have a huge series - just don't think that'll be enough. If he turns back into Game 6 2012 ECF @ Boston, LeBron then I think they can steal a couple of games but I'm not sure he can do that anymore.

And yes it's been 3 years and I'm still haunted by that game :P
