 <\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors (GSW) have a decided advantage in taking the NBA Finals which begins in a few hours in the Bay area.\u00a0 With the leadership of Dramond Green, the best long range shooters in the game in Stephan Curry and Klay Thompson, and the 2nd best player on the planet in Kevin Durant, this Warriors team has a starting line-up that can put the ball in the basket and stop the opponent in doing the same.\u00a0 Golden State has, statistically, the best defense in the Association.\u00a0 With enough supportive players on the roster, this series will be one for the Warriors to take and shake LeBron James and the\u00a0Cleveland Cav’s defending champions off the podium.\u00a0\u00a0It will not be easy as James leads a team loaded with its own talent in the names of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and Tristian Thompson.\u00a0 Any team with James at the head is dangerous and Cleveland will not let GSW take the series without a fight.\u00a0 Very simply, the money is on the Warriors, most say in six games, with some calling it in five.\u00a0 For me, the smart money says it will go no more than six for a Warriors win.\u00a0 But my intuition says smart money is not always a winner.<\/p>\n

My prediction:\u00a0 Cleveland in seven<\/p>\n

Never under-estimate Lebron James when he goes against Kevin Durant<\/p>\n
