Chuck is speaking pure facts right now (I still think GSW will win, I just mean about Klay) The first quarter is usually Klays time to shine and warm up but this year Currys been the one dominating the 1st and KD the 2nd. Klay is literally just a corner specialist now, this is the difference between Kerr and Brown. Kerr would run the offense through Klay to get him going, now he's going into the Finals ice cold
Warriors have David West which he never won a NBA Championship and he's been Ring-Chasing for almost a decade with Pacers, Spurs, Warriors. Hornets was his 1st team. If Warriors lose to Cavs...West is a jinx.
We have to acknowledge the fact that Charles Barkley has the best basketball IQ, and he's been on a hot streak in predicting the outcome of games (and even award shows)
This Finals could be awesome. We deserve a good series after these teams went 24-1 to get here and just smashed everyone else haha. I hope Cleveland repeats but if I had to predict Warriors in 6
Apparently, people have forgotten that the Warriors' bench won the first 2 games of the Finals last year (45 pts in gm 1; 40 pts in gm 2), AND Kevin Love was concussed in game 2 and couldn't play in the 2nd half when the game turned into a blowout. Those were key events that helped GS build that 3-1 lead. KD upgraded the Warriors' starting unit, but weakened the bench. The Cavs match up well with GS's starting unit, and the Cavs have the bench edge now. Cavs win in 6.
cant see the cavs being able to stop the warriors from scoring enough people overlook warriors defense so much they were 2nd in the league in defensive rating thats gonna make the difference. warriors in 5
Cleveland fans are simply idiots. They have Lebron so they feel no need to actually understand the nuances of the game. I deadass just had to school someone on IG who commented "Defense wins championships, not offense" IN THE SAME SENTENCE as "The Cavs are going to destroy the Warriors". Adding to your point, they've been #1 in both offense AND defense this postseason.... Sick of these casuals who get hype off highlights, as if Cleveland didn't finish 18th in Defense after being #28 from All-star break to end of season. Who tf can even play defense on their team besides JR; Shump and Bron? I cannot wait for Golden State to win.
Domiano Hunt good point even if u just look at the individual players it's not even close. Draymond arguably the best all around defender in the league. Durant career high in blocks. Klay one of the best defensive SG. Even igoudala is still a pretty good defender. Yea the cavs destroyed the east but they still allowed a lot of points against the pacers and even struggled containing the celtics at times I just don't see them being able to all of the sudden flip the switch and play elite defense. There only hope is if draymond gets suspended again
Chuck makes a massive point. Klay isnt as good this year due to the fact that the emphasis isnt on "The splash brothers" anymore. Everything is KD and Steph. it must take a massive psychological toll on Klay to know that he is now probably the 4th best player on the team, when last year he was no.2
i'll go with chuck... i 'll pick cavs to win it's not just of lebron, it's because of kyrie... he is now turning into the best clutch and closer in the nba.
I got warriors in 5 because if one player having an off night they have 3 other players and don't forget they still have Shaun and Iguadola off the bench with McGee
7 strong games.. I got LBJ finals MVP buh overall Kyrie & Curry are the 2 stars to pay attention too. Kyrie after the game sounds poised&ready for a rematch ..hes coming for Steph' ankles... Klay is the x-factor in this series for GS and Tristan is the x-factor for Cleveland.
Chuck is right, but if kyrie and curry cancels each other, Lebron and KD cancels each other, then Klay become the X-factor. He will get the ball more this series because KD and curry might be struggling. The cavs will have to try to get an answer for him
Warriors won 73 games last year then added one of the top 3 players in the world to their team and some people still pick Cleveland. Just goes to show the greatness of Lebron James
gonna be interesting how Warriors interim coach Mike Brown coaches against LeBron (and if Steve Kerr comes back). I'm going with the Cavs to win in 6, since their bench is deeper than Warriors.
no matter how horrible klay's playing. noone dares to leave him open. second of all. klay is a phenomenal defender at the guards position. so he's not a liability either way.
Shaq can't think for himself " I gotta watch the 1st 2 games"....WHAT??? This ain't no SAT exam....just a prediction....I wonder how much he paid for his degrees?
Cavs gone win the first game in the finals they got to try to beat the undefeated warriors in the playoffs. And then warriors gone win game 2 and game 3 Cleveland gone take it all the way
Klay's shot attempts were up during the season from last year, the only reason they're down in the playoffs is because he's shooting only 38% from the floor... Chuck and Shaq are both dummies lol.
Barkley has always been a hater of the warriors... He hates Steph Curry bcoz he is not at his level and steph being an inch shorter than him and not as strong and still getting mire mvps and championships than him...
And McCaw with 55 min, 30 points, 9 rbds, 7 assists, 5 steals in the series against Spurs. Or Iguodala, mvp of the 15 finals. The X factors for GSW are way bigger than the ones for Cleveland
uhm. . . let me guess.. that 1 loss by the cavs from a thomas-less celtics will boost reputation of gsw.. So more people will bet on gsw on game 1. I think cavs will win game 1..
coming as heat fan this is what i think, i do see the cavs beating the warriors because i believe lebron wants it more than them and he knows that if he wins this year no one can say he aint near jordan because he would have beaten i team with 3 or more all stars two years in a row. Furthermore kyrie the last 2 games had been unstoppable and yes curry is good but if you have to defend kyrie it makes u tired therefore curry shooting will become limited. As for the centre position this is interesting because TT is better than zaza no doubt but mcgee he would be a match up. The warriors have quite a few fear but i think there main one is the fact klay aint scoring loads of points and he missing good looks. Finally the PF position will be interesting because Love has been a beast in the playoffs and draymond if love will post up will have a problem and he tends to lose patience when things doesn't go his way. I dunna before the cavs lost to the celtics i had cavs in 4 but now i see cavs in 5= guys tell me what you think
Timi Oloko what Draymond and the Warriors don't want it either? When he said I want to destroy the Cavaliers. They are licking their lips seeking redemption. Cavs had no business winning it last year. All off season, all season long, this team has focused solely on this moment. Steph won't be guarding Kyrie much, Thompson will. You will only see that match up when they get the switch on the pick and roll. Kyrie is also a terrible defender and the Cavs in general were not a good defensive team. The east was really, really bad this year, and made the Cavs look more dominant than the are. I'm a heat fan too btw.
Lynx Star Automotive listen Yh lebron has been written off as soon as KD joined them that's why I said they want it more furthermore kyrie played locked down defence against Steph last year in case you didn't know. They cavs are actually one of the best defensive teams in the league don't let what happen on the regular season fool u before all star the were 2nd defensively behind the spurs. I'm telling you now cavs will win
This nba is full off premodonas, To compare lebron with Jordan is an insult to very essence off the game, Jordan passion and desire alone makes him better than lebron.
Shaq is dumb analyst chuck is smarter, hes take too long to answer to make look like smart but dumb answer, first two games? Dont ask him first he doesnt have any idea.

Prayers for Chuck
You are a fan of my favorite teams, i thought i was the only one
Time to see the Cavs' sleeved jerseys once again
But I thought LeBron hated them.
fightnight14 😂😂😂
Umm not after last finals...
for the last time, Nike isn't doing the sleeves.
GrandeRed Nike doesn't start making nba jersey till next season. so the sleeves could actually happen
Wow, Chuck dared speaketh the name of the Shaqtin' legend... What a bold move.
Chuck is speaking pure facts right now (I still think GSW will win, I just mean about Klay)
The first quarter is usually Klays time to shine and warm up but this year Currys been the one dominating the 1st and KD the 2nd.
Klay is literally just a corner specialist now, this is the difference between Kerr and Brown. Kerr would run the offense through Klay to get him going, now he's going into the Finals ice cold
This series is gonna be so lit
Warriors have David West which he never won a NBA Championship and he's been Ring-Chasing for almost a decade with Pacers, Spurs, Warriors. Hornets was his 1st team. If Warriors lose to Cavs...West is a jinx.
ZAZA THE MVP IS BACK!!! HE WILL LOWKEY HURT SOMEONE OR TWO. GUARANTEED.
Crazy Insane Gaming not unless Kyrie takes his ankles first😂😂
sneijder023 not before Lebron cries to Adam Silver and gets someone suspended first
the only player in the NBA who can break ankles, literally
sneijder023 for sure lol
Being a Cavs fan I of course want to see them win, but honestly I just hope for another great series. Hope both teams are fully healthy throughout!
We have to acknowledge the fact that Charles Barkley has the best basketball IQ, and he's been on a hot streak in predicting the outcome of games (and even award shows)
stop drinkin that patron in that cup and answer the question 😂😂😂😂
They need to be on the finals man come on ABC & TNT work something out
Yea u right
This Finals could be awesome. We deserve a good series after these teams went 24-1 to get here and just smashed everyone else haha. I hope Cleveland repeats but if I had to predict Warriors in 6
The chemistry was off this year. I bet they'll change it. Feels like this is the last time we'll see these four together.
Your hope was well placed
No matter the outcome, this series including the past two will go down in history as one of the best finals
"theres two meteors heading towards each other" No theres One meteor colliding into a rock
Jason rodriguez what do you think a meteor is made of?
Fettman07 he think fire
Cheese! Just like the moon! #Wakeupcheeslesssheeple
The warriors?
Apparently, people have forgotten that the Warriors' bench won the first 2 games of the Finals last year (45 pts in gm 1; 40 pts in gm 2), AND Kevin Love was concussed in game 2 and couldn't play in the 2nd half when the game turned into a blowout.

The series is going to go for 7 games again.
三宅円花 go practise math
Hook NiPet ???
Hook NiPet go get a life
Hook NiPet shouldn't u be practicing math? Lol

Dlindsey100-Rocket league & more what's wrong with showing pride for a team? Cavs fans do it all the time.
adolf jr you're already dead, why are you still talking?

Cavs in 6
Threematch?
thank u NBA on TNT
I really love Chuck
i'll go with chuck... i 'll pick cavs to win it's not just of lebron, it's because of kyrie... he is now turning into the best clutch and closer in the nba.
I was going for the west but what they did to my spurs get it James
I got warriors in 5 because if one player having an off night they have 3 other players and don't forget they still have Shaun and Iguadola off the bench with McGee
if someone from any team gets injured, Imma be chapped
The point chuck made about Klay I've said since I first heard KD was joining.. he had no choice but to play 2nd fiddle .
7 strong games.. I got LBJ finals MVP buh overall Kyrie & Curry are the 2 stars to pay attention too. Kyrie after the game sounds poised&ready for a rematch ..hes coming for Steph' ankles... Klay is the x-factor in this series for GS and Tristan is the x-factor for Cleveland.
WE GOT A BASKET BALL CLINIC FOR
OUR TRUE GAME
The league has been missing a Lakers-Celtics rivalry.
Cavs 4-3
TheSwagIsBack
butthurt?
I want cavs but my mind says gs
adolf jr same!
lol, i want gs but my eyes make me think cavs (did you watch the boston series ?)
AschMu are you really comparing the Celtics to the Warriors....
New drinking game: take a drink everytime barkley says "hes the best 2 guard in the game"
I like how much more subdued Shaq is here.
Despite Lebron getting Zaza suspended for game 4, Warriors sweep. This is gonna be so awesome. Kyrie is going to get hurt early, possibly by Zaza.
Chuck, the Predators, not the Senators went double overtime with the Penguins
Boy chuck was so wrong about this it's almost funny
Chuck is right, but if kyrie and curry cancels each other, Lebron and KD cancels each other, then Klay become the X-factor. He will get the ball more this series because KD and curry might be struggling. The cavs will have to try to get an answer for him
give klay his touches and gsw will win the series . he's the X Factor . his defense will play a big part too. n Barkley recognized
Warriors won 73 games last year then added one of the top 3 players in the world to their team and some people still pick Cleveland. Just goes to show the greatness of Lebron James
Zachary N shows people stupidity 😂
They got beat 1-4 😂😂 No it just shows that they'll pick LeBron just cuz it's LeBron
gonna be interesting how Warriors interim coach Mike Brown coaches against LeBron (and if Steve Kerr comes back). I'm going with the Cavs to win in 6, since their bench is deeper than Warriors.
Warriors in 5
no matter how horrible klay's playing. noone dares to leave him open. second of all. klay is a phenomenal defender at the guards position. so he's not a liability either way.
I'm going to the parade in Oakland after game 5
yall not seen Shaq 6:36 - 6:40 he looked like he was gonna cry after CB mentioned his dad
Oh god here we go again
Knowing the warriors luck one of the cavs key players will probably get hurt
Shaq can't think for himself " I gotta watch the 1st 2 games"....WHAT??? This ain't no SAT exam....just a prediction....I wonder how much he paid for his degrees?
If LeBron pulls this off against a healthy GSW he will be a basketball god. He's already a demigod, but this will cement his legacy forever.
The only way this series is going passed 4 is if lebron's daddy Adam Silver has to step in
Dubs are dope, but let's go cavs. If LeBron can hold off this super team the debate is over, he'll go down as the best player since Jordan
That's what they said last year😏
Mark Madsen is the GOAT
I said the same thing. Klay doesn't get the ball as much.
CAVALIERS IN 7.
RatchetSprite delusional
i pick the warriors overall but i pick the cavaliers with their advantage inside
Shaq is turrible...wants to wait two games then two minutes later chooses the Cavs?
No problem for GSW. Zaza the MVP gonna step under Kyrie or LBJ and injure them. #Warriors in 4
Srsly I'm gonna laugh so hard if this happens again.
shaq making a decision after the series hahaha
Why is no one even mentioning that Golden State has a healthy Curry. He was not healthy last finals.
jeremiah ortega and he's had the best playoffs of his career. Everyone's just assuming he's gonna play trash again. Sleeping on him.
Cavs gone win the first game in the finals they got to try to beat the undefeated warriors in the playoffs. And then warriors gone win game 2 and game 3 Cleveland gone take it all the way
LeBron's greatness is what will give Cleveland the championship. It'll be 6 or 7 games. LeBron gets his 4th ring.
Shaq need to see first 2 game. I know from April
Warriors in 6
Draymond locks Kevin love every time they play each other, but hope Kevin love goes off
Cavs in 6 games 2017 over the warriors
GS in 4
smittyd4801 IT WONT SURPRISE ME
Can the warriors make that 16-0
Klay's shot attempts were up during the season from last year, the only reason they're down in the playoffs is because he's shooting only 38% from the floor... Chuck and Shaq are both dummies lol.
Shaq uninformed... Olajuwon did average over 37 once in the playoffs.
Why is there no video of them reacting to the Warriors winning?
Stephen A. will say Warriors in 7
Barkley has always been a hater of the warriors... He hates Steph Curry bcoz he is not at his level and steph being an inch shorter than him and not as strong and still getting mire mvps and championships than him...
I hope Cavs will win just to see bandwagon fans cry.
Mad(un)Lucky even tho LeBron has choked in 4 finals already haha
And why are Cavs fans not called bandwagon? gtfoh
When ex Heat fans say "bandwagon" 😂🤣
Cavs have a bigger bandwagon... so that's why I hope the Warriors will win.
So Cavs fans will cry?
Blazers in 6
cavs in 7
Lebron plays way better on the road then home
Edze awm Dumb Fagaliers
MaLJaY Worldstar That's a lie but his greatest performances are on the road
Random shi-e-at Its GOING 7
Edze awm warriors in 4
Charles Barkley your predictions are way off. You have been a commentator for a while you should know better.
Warriors 2 1 cavs in finals
none of you people make any sense. clearly its gonna be andrew bynum and the cavs in 4. oh wait where'd bynum go again
They should let Steph go to the East after this off season
Why?
Golden State in 3. If the cavs are lucky Golden State in 3.5
I think warriors will win games 1,2,3 and 5
Its 4-1
Cavs didn't adjust. The refs did
Kenny u have no idea what chuck says... learn this game dude.
Curry vs Kyrie
KD vs LeBron
Green vs Love
Klay And Livingston X factors for GS
D-Will, JR, Thompson X Factors for Cle.
Carlos Villalvazo don't forget JAVALE MCGEE
And McCaw with 55 min, 30 points, 9 rbds, 7 assists, 5 steals in the series against Spurs. Or Iguodala, mvp of the 15 finals. The X factors for GSW are way bigger than the ones for Cleveland
Carlos Villalvazo and Korver
uhm. . . let me guess.. that 1 loss by the cavs from a thomas-less celtics will boost reputation of gsw.. So more people will bet on gsw on game 1. I think cavs will win game 1..
Shaq is really just not the best broadcaster.
cavs in 6👊
Cavs in 6!!!!!!
