2015 NBA Playoff Predictions: The Finals

Golden State Warriors
Cleveland Cavaliers
Prediction: Warriors in 6
Why?: It's been a long time since the Dubs won a title, and it's been even longer since the city of Cleveland had won anything. The best player in the world, LeBron James, taking on the best team in the NBA. Cleveland is missing Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving was really banged up in the Chicago and Atlanta series. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson had head injuries but should be back to 100% by the time the Finals start. I think Golden State had a more talented starting 5, and easily a better bench, they are too good and too deep and think with the injuries, and the wear of 5 straight finals on LeBron will take a toll as the series goes on.  The Cavs may look to slow down the Warriors, which is nearly impossible, and out rebound them, but Golden State showed they can still beat that game plan against Memphis.  I don't think the games will be blowouts, but I do think that Wardell Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors will win their first title in 40 years.
