2015 NBA Finals Game 2 Preview & Prediction: Cavs vs Warriors

As much as you might love to see Lebron finally win a ring for the city of Cleveland, your independent analysis would probably force you to conclude the Warriors should be favored in such a match-up eventhough your heart says otherwise. After a close heartbreaking lost, I'm simply not sure Cleveland have what it takes to take on the Golden State Warriors well-oiled machine in a 7 game series. Lebron, himself, could go off for 30+ point all he wants but won't be able to stop the Warriors all alone from eventually winning the series, specially with Kyrie Irving injured.

The Cavaliers may indeed go out tonight and manage to keep things close but I strongly believe they will eventually be over-powered at the end. The Warriors simply have way too much offensive weapons at their disposal for a one man team to be able to keep them at bay for a long period of time.
I'm pretty sure many would love to see these long suffering Clevelanders wins something at last, but my heads says it probably won't happen this year.

ZCode computer likes the Cavs but it seems like it is not taking into account the injuries of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. The computer only crushes numbers and leaves everything else out of the equations and this could create some problem when handicapping match-ups like this one.
In my opinion, I think the Warriors wins this one, although my heart will be rooting for the Cavs to win this one for Kyrie.

Final Prediction: Warriors 101 - Cavaliers 94
