Prediction: Warriors in 5.
Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant and Chesapeake Arena were tougher for the Warriors than Cleveland, LeBron James and Quicken Loans will be, I do believe that.And yes, the Warriors (barely) beat Oklahoma City last round, which leads me to a clear and semi-scientific deduction:If the Warriors can get past the Thunder (and Durant and Russell Westbrook), they can defeat the Cavaliers (and James and Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love) in this NBA Finals rematch.OK, yes, the Cavaliers powered through the East playoffs again, and this time Irving and Love are healthy and playing well.But I don't believe that Irving and Love worry the Warriors that much because putting multiple bad defenders on the floor at the same time isn't usually the way to threaten this team.
