It's amazing how one game can completely shift the momentum of a series. Before game four had started, Cleveland was flying high. They were up two games to one, and a win in game four would almost surly wrap up the series. But Golden State had other ideas. Head Coach Steve Kerr made some very smart changes to the lineup. Andre Iguodala got the start for the first time in the playoffs, and 6-7 Draymond Green got the start at Center. The move proved to be genius, as Iguodala scored 22 points and did a great job defending a visibly tired Lebron James in Golden States 103-82 win. The Cavs looked very tired in game four, and to be honest, I think they are done. They have to play two of the next three games at Oracle Arena, where Golden State has lost a total of four games throughout the season. Steph Curry, when he was being depended on in the 4th Quarter, stepped up his game, and I think he will be ready. I expect Cleveland to make these games close, and I expect Lebron James to play better than he did in game four. However, he will not play the way he did in games 1-3, and he simply does not have enough support from his teammates to win two more games, as the Cavs are down to a total of 7 players, while Golden State has the deepest bench in the NBA.
My prediction: Warriors in 6.
