Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 1792334, member: 1958"] I have no idea what will happen in Game 7. I lean towards GS closing it out at home but this series has been crazy. GS is so tough at home and are obviously an all time great team that will be incredibly difficult to beat 3 times in a row. This is undoubtedly oversimplifying things but I almost want to say it feels a little like whoever is healthier Sunday between whatever Kyrie did to his foot and Iguodala's back may end up winning. Neither team can really afford to have a beat up version of either of them. Having said that, Warriors have some things that need to be figured out or else it's a real possibility they lose on Sunday. They used to have almost a perfect structure to combat LeBron. Now with Iggy slowed with his back issues and Bogut out those are two big cracks in that structure. Tough to put Green on LeBron in place of Iggy too because their best line ups are him at center and if he is on LeBron I'm not sure who is keeping a body on Thompson keeping him off the offensive glass. Warriors look like they miss Bogut on offense. He wasn't a huge scoring threat but he was a very capable passer and helped facilitate ball movement and keep the defense rotating. Ezeli and Varejao just don't give you that same skill set. Ezeli looks like he's lost his confidence. Varejao is good for a couple energy plays and maybe can sneak you some whistles that lead to an extra possession here and there but overall they just aren't giving them what they need. Back to the death line up of Green at center, that isn't the same line up as it was during the regular season when Iggy is slowed with back problems like last night and Barnes is playing the way he is. I think Barnes will play better in Game 7 as his performance trends back towards the mean and role players play better at home but he's been awful the last two games. Kinda crazy that Cleveland has sent this to 7 with basically nothing from Kevin Love and it isn't like they've had a role player play out of their minds like a Danny Green from a few years ago. Also, LeBron is leading both teams in the Finals in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. That is absurd. He still is probably going to have to have one more performance like the last two to close it out but wow. I was doubting him that he could still take it up a level like a few years ago but he's shown when he is locked in and has it going he's still on his own planet. [/QUOTE]
