 Yo, what's up everyone? Nick Smith is back with another video quick notice once again I'm a little bit sick, but it's sick as in the way that I'm not I'm not like I don't have like a massive cold or anything like that It's just the weather in Australia for those that don't know when it gets winter in the US Most of you guys live in the US so when it gets winter in the US it gets cold in Australia It gets hot and I don't know there's like pollen and all this stuff in the air and just I don't know It makes me sick. So my bad for that. Hopefully you can still enjoy the video But I do sound a little bit weird my bad, but something that will cheer me up is this Christmas day LeBron James vs Kevin Durant match up the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors. It's gonna be I'm excited I'm excited to say the least but first off. I hope everybody has a wonderful Christmas And if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a fantastic holidays and a great time celebrating Whatever you celebrate and keep in mind that some people aren't fortunate enough to celebrate Christmas and celebrate things I want to celebrate because they don't have that privilege So try and help out as much as you can but in saying that most of you guys celebrate Christmas So happy Christmas and happy holidays So I won't lie I'm excited as all hell to watch the NBA finals rematch with the new edition of Kevin Durant to match up against King Jays this game should be one of the best games all season and I just hope it lives up to the hype But the fact that this is the first time they've played all year and we will actually see them face off against each other since well Game seven of the NBA finals must make you hype because it's sure damn makes me hype in this video I want to talk about both teams the Cavs and the Warriors so far this season. I want to talk about the rivalry I want to talk about the matchups and lastly I want to talk about my predictions And I want to hear your predictions in the comment section down below if you enjoyed these types of videos I'd love it if you guys could subscribe for more and I hope you guys enjoy the video They have not met since June 19 when the Cleveland Cavaliers upset the Golden State Warriors 93 to 89 as a five-point road underdogs come down three games to one and win their first-ever NBA Championship now this is a rivalry that I expect to see for many many years and Dreymond one of the biggest trash talkers in the NBA has already had some things to say about the rivalry If Cleveland comes out of these I want to destroy Cleveland No ifs and buts about it. This is something that I would actually love to see a lot more of more rivalries and more trash Talk between teams and players just like it was in the old days But that's for another video the reason that I'm mentioning Dreymond green is because I believe if the Warriors win I think he'll be the deciding factor I know it sounds crazy because they've got to read and curry as well as clay Thompson But if you remember Dreymond green was actually suspended in game five of last year's NBA finals Now whether you believe he should have or shouldn't have that's up to you But many believe that if Dreymond green wasn't suspended for game five The Golden State Warriors would have repeated as NBA champions and we would be talking about a potential 3p right now However, that's not the case and it's eating Dreymond green alive to say the least now I'm not sure if I believe this statement But I hear it quite a lot the fact that if Dreymond green was there in game five they would have won I mean The Cleveland Cavaliers was still a pretty solid team remember that they wouldn't have come back three games to one for No apparent reason they have LeBron James and they deserve to win the NBA championship, but you have a case had Dreymond green played Yeah, okay, they would have had a chance now obviously Dreymond green is still furious about the whole situation But I also know that there are steps To get to that point and if and when we get to that point I want to annihilate them Which is why I think he'll have a big game So that's my reasoning anyway all summer long the Golden State Warriors couldn't go anywhere without hearing the three games to one comments or The choke comments, but now with former MVP and four times scoring champion Kevin Durant in the Bay Area The expectation is championship or bust however This would have been the expectation even without Durant on the team They was 73 and 9 and choked away a series three games to one in the NBA finals Doesn't really get much worse than that. I'm sorry Golden State fans I know for a fact that this Christmas day is going to be crazy at 27 and 4 entering the second half of the year the Golden State Warriors is still quietly on a 71 win pace once again Assuming that they'll play the slightest bit better in the second half of the season Which it's assumed that they will because now they have a lot more chemistry But like I said, if you don't think the both teams will be ready for this game. You're wrong I'll be super surprised if this game turns into a blowout curry vs. Kyrie LeBron vs. Durant Love vs. Dreymont and Well, this is where it gets interesting because who's gonna take Clay Thompson? No JR Smith he's out for 12 to 14 weeks and I'm not sure who will take Clay Thompson But what I will say is when you look at the two benches, that is what will win the game Cleveland's bench versus the Warriors bench Maybe the deciding factor when the game comes down to the wire Alright, so we pretty much talked a lot about the Warriors now. Let's talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers So if you didn't know that JR Smith was out for three months with a broken thumb now you do I know he's not a member of the big three in Cleveland And I know he's not a player that people talk about when it comes down to winning But in my opinion, JR Smith is one of those players that can really change a game If he's hot, he'll light up anyone from Dave and to be honest I think the Cavs will miss him against the Warriors in this game in saying that LeBron is being LeBron Once again, absolutely killing it just like every season and he doesn't really look to be slowing down any time soon Also now who'd be facing off against Kevin Durant for the first time since he joined the Golden State Warriors Which should be pretty cool to watch as for the other members of the cast big three Kairi is still crossing people up and doing his thing and Kevin Love has really had a bounce back here and surprised a lot of people With his high stats in both points and rebounds But the thing that will win the cast the game in my opinion is their bench depth now Obviously, that's whether they play well or not because keep in mind the Warriors don't have the worst bench depth either I'm just saying if the Cavaliers want to win this game Which they obviously do don't need a lot of help from their bench unit now before I give my predictions for the game I want to briefly touch up on the new rivalry that I believe we're actually seeing so let's get into this Now get this no two teams have ever played each other in the finals in three consecutive years And I think this season we might have once again another historic feed I mean at this point doesn't really seem like any other two teams are going to make the NBA finals unless of course something happens with injuries I just I don't think so. I don't think it's even a question at this point This Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors matchups are ones that we don't want to forget and it makes it a rivalry And I'm pretty excited because honestly, I know it sounds crazy And I know it's a really really big statement But I believe this rivalry can go for many many years and I think it won't go It won't be like the Lakers and the Celtics But it could be like a similar type of scenario It won't you can't have a bigger rivalry than the Lakers and Celtics But you can have a big rivalry like the Bulls and Knicks and I think this Warriors and Cavaliers rivalry Could be like the Bulls and the Knicks Looking back 20 years after from now I truly believe that because we're witnessing something that is pretty crazy in here like really really crazy I'm excited I think this is something that that we can really look forward to every year because when you know the Cavaliers are facing the Warriors now You know you're getting something because in past years. We haven't really seen that I mean we had the Miami Heat and the Spurs. We once again We had the Lakers and the Celtics. We sort of had the Mavericks and the Heat not really But this Warriors Cavaliers man It's it's a rivalry and I think people can actually back it up now Especially even after head coach Tyrone Lou of the Cleveland Cavaliers said it's definitely a rivalry Each team when you go out and play you're definitely thinking about each other It's just how it is. We have a long way to go before we get to the end But when you talk about the championship or the finals you always just say Golden State and Cleveland It's not that easy. So if Tyrone Lou actually said that and many of the players are agreeing with him even Draymond Green I think we have a pretty cool rivalry on our heads, which makes this Christmas game even better Anyway, here are my predictions and whilst I'm telling you guys my predictions I want to hear your predictions down below in the comment section And if you guys could also drop a like that would be absolutely amazing if we can reach 4,000 likes for a Christmas video. I would love that. Anyway, here are my predictions for this game Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Golden State Warriors Cleveland is winning this game. All right, let me know down below. Who do you have winning Cleveland or Golden State? I've got Cleveland. I'll explain why here it is LeBron James he controls the tempo of the game when a team doesn't control the tempo of the game That's when Golden State loves to to work. I mean they just run out on the break and shoot threes That's not a bad game style because they've got what three of the greatest shooters in the bloody NBA Yeah, it's a good style. All right, but I'm just saying when they slow the game down They're not as good as when the game is sped up and they're running out on the break They're passing their ball movement is on point and they're shooting threes LeBron James He decides what's gonna happen. He's like dude. I'm I'm pushing the pace or he's like dude I'm slowing it down and that is LeBron James. That's what he does and that's what he'll do So I think it's gonna slow the game down in this game And I think you're gonna see a lot of ball movement from Cleveland on the opposite spectrum because obviously the Warriors are Amazing a ball movement. They're the best since San Antonio Did it back in you know when Timmy D was Timmy D and not retired and you know Maru was Maru wasn't old and Tony Parker was Tony Parker and he could run Golden State is probably the next team other than the Spurs in my opinion because they're ball movement Yeah, they're ball movement is freaking insane. They they're really really good. And I mean It's probably because Steve Kerr he played under Greg Popovich He knows he knows how to run a team. All right. He's a good coach I won't lie, but I've got Cleveland winning this game And I think LeBron he controls the tempo of the game, which really that will decide The the outcome in my opinion I think tempo is a big key to winning a game against the Warriors The next thing is their bench depth to me seems really really good this season In saying that J.R. Smith is out with an injury. He's a big part to what Cleveland does I mean if they ever needed three J.R. Smith is that guy That means Kyrie just has to step up with a few more threes per game When when obviously J.R. Smith is out and obviously in this game Which I think he'll do because he's on Stefan Curry and when Clay switches on Kyrie That's when it sort of gets a little bit tricky because now there's no J.R. Smith so that's the only issue I see with Cleveland and on the other side if you think the Warriors will go down at any point of this game You might be right But if you don't think they're gonna come back if you don't think they're gonna shoot their way back into a game against Cleveland Man, I That you're wrong I think if Golden State ever goes down by 10 they get it back into the game like they get it back into the game so fast It's gonna be crazy. So I'm excited for today my other predictions These are sort of like small predictions. They don't really mean anything It's sort of just like guessing how many points someone will drop and you know It's just fun predictions that I can look back on to see if I was you know, right or if I was just completely wrong I look like a dummy, but LeBron. I think you'll have a good stat line Maybe a 27 8 and 10 8 rebounds 10 assists Kyrie I Think he'll really step up in this one. I think we'll have 25 4 and 6 assists for rebounds love. I think you'll have 22 12 rebounds and Yeah, like I don't know one block to assist something like that Kari, I don't think you'll play for I know I know some people are gonna get angry me down below in the conversation Kari, he'll have like 20. All right 20 points five assists for rebounds clay He'll have 22 points couple of assists couple of rebounds Dreymond. I think he'll step up though I can see Dreymond stepping up. I think Dreymond will end up with 23 12 rebounds three steals 7 assists two blocks and I do see Kevin Durant having you. I think you'll have the best game. I think we'll have 30 points eight rebounds Two stills.
