OUR PREDICTION: Last year, Cleveland took Golden State to six games without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love (due to injuries). The Cavs finished off Toronto on Friday in six games, while the Warriors had a much tougher series against the Thunder, winning in seven on Monday. Expect the Cavs to steal Game 1 or at worst, cover in what should be a very tight game.
