Finals pick up where they left off with Cavs-Warriors III

But when all is said and done, I honestly believe the Warriors are the better team. The Cavaliers were up 2-1 in 2015, did not have Kevin Love for the entire series and only had Kyrie Irving for Game 1, yet they lost in six games. Golden State have won 11 of those 19 games, outscoring Cleveland 103.6-97.3 in those matches.

Korver remembers driving home from summer camp in June of that year, trying desperately to capture a game on his hand-held radio.

“He’s one of the most risky guys we have in the world already, and it makes it even more unsafe when you equip that talent, that skill with those guys”, Cavaliers small forward LeBron James said. It is the only listing for the game with tickets for less than $500.Tickets in the lower bowl of Oracle Arena for more than one seat together are starting at $848. The question is now, what can we expect? With the league now being so top-heavy, the Cavaliers and Warriors could very well continue to face off every June for an indefinite period of time.

You can see a full breakdown of the simulated series here on Facebook. Many people know that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson meet in three NBA Finals but not three straight finals.

The NBA finals get underway on Thursday night and for basketball fans it promises to be a mouth-watering spectacle. But let’s execute a quick recap. Or is the Finals the time to fade the “King”? If Warriors have Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, the Cavaliers have the likes of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.

Game 1 is Thursday at Oracle Arena, where the Cavaliers won their first championship previous year by becoming the first team to rally from a 3-1 deficit in the finals.

“Obviously it’s a new season, especially this last series of the season, and we gotta bring it”, Durant said of the best-of-seven clash.

James is the best all-around player in the game today because of his size, strength and skill level that allows him to do more things on the court than Curry or Durant.

He added that “win or lose, his legacy can really be hurt a whole lot” in LeBron’s case. Maybe the biggest advantage of any key category in this series. To play the part of Ed McMahon: “How … big … is it?” The Cavs won a measly 51 games this season which is nothing short of underachieving for a team of their calibre, and left them 16 games behind their opponents.
