NBA Finals prediction

Warriors the favorite over the Cavs

Finally, the NBA Finals are here. Makes you wonder how we put up with two weeks of Super Bowl talk before they finally play the game.

But here we are and it appears to be the Golden State Warriors series to lose.

Almost all the experts have them winning and there are a 100 different reasons why. Matchups. Golden State’s ability to play defense. LeBron James’ teammates. Steph Curry this, Klay Thompson that.

I’m no different. I’m taking the Warriors. In five. My reasoning? Simple.

Two days ago Shane Battier said the Warriors would win in five. The Duke graduate (so he’s smart), who’s played with James for three seasons, winning two titles and losing another to a team not a whole lot different than Golden State (the San Antonio Spurs). The guy that’s guarded these Warriors. 

Battier said five. I’m saying five. No expert in the world has more insight than what Battier would have. 

So, there’s my pick. The third consecutive series I have the Cavs losing.
