The Cavs are at full strength and are better than last year. The Warriors are better than last year. The Cavs do not have as good a defense as OKC. Kyrie Irving sucks at defense, Kevin Love sucks at defense and Lebron can't win a championship by himself.
Warriors in 5.

The very first requirement for a team that wants to beat the Warriors is to have a very good defensive point guard - a defensive ace like Chris Paul or just an athletic monster like Russell Westbrook. Without someone like that to at least slow down Curry you're in trouble (and there is nowhere to hide a defensively deficient point guard against the Warriors). Kyrie Irving? Ahem...
Kevin Love does present another problem. Draymond Green will get into his head very easily and destroy him in this series.
Lebron will be Lebron but Iguadala will make it hard enough for him that he will again run out of gas in 4th quarters just like last year.
