Charles Barkely just flat out refuses to pick Golden State to win anything, so it should be no surprise he currently thinks the Cavs will wind up being the champions and should be the favorites to do so. I can only assume he thinks the Cavs are favorites because of Steph Curry’s knee situation at the moment but he will be fine shortly and at full strength for the western conference finals. For the most part, you just have to let what Charles says go in one ear and out the other.
@IamJoeSports
Most people still have the Warriors as the favorites, followed by the Spurs and maybe even OKC before they favor the Cavs to win it all but any team that has Lebron will always have a legit shot.
