Really, when you look at it, what happened with Game 1 this year is the same thing we saw last year.
We saw Cavaliers team that was horribly and utterly outmatched in every sense of the word and were fighting a losing battle.
Even with an unhealthy, injured Stephen Curry, the Warriors had no troubles whatsoever and managed to get that 3-1 lead.
Then it all went to hell for the Warriors.
Draymond got suspended for Game 5.
Then in Game 5, they lost Bogut, who was their best low post defender and their defensive anchor. Then Iguodala injured his back and wasn't the same. Add those issues along with Steph's health, and you were left with a badly crippled and limping Warriors team that unravelled at the seams.
The only way the Cavs can win THIS year is if something like THAT happens again.
But seeing as how Draymond has actually managed to keep his cool this postseason, they have better centers than they did last year (Zaza I'd take or leave, but JaVale is better than Bogut AND Ezeli, in my view,), they replaced Harrison Barnes with Kevin freaking Durant, and they have a healthy, 100% Stephen Curry, I seriously doubt that is going to happen.
