Cavs the champs but Warriors the favorites in the NBA Finals

The Warriors are 12-0 in these playoffs, becoming the first National Basketball Association team to accomplish the feat, and the Cavaliers are 12-1. A video game simulation has them going the distance. The Cavs look for and find mismatches and exploit them to the fullest. “They deserve it. And it was for them”.

Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday, also in Oakland. He was with the Heat when beat the Spurs 95-88 in 2013. Korver ranks second among all active players with 104 playoff games without a Finals appearance, trailing only Joe Johnson’s 112 games. James is 3-4 overall in the finals. Down periods are inevitable in the Finals, and when these times come, the Warriors just need to keep bouncing off Green’s enthusiasm to keep their charge rolling. There hasn’t been a sweep in the finals since.

“You can’t expect us to just say ‘oh we’re a great team on paper together and it’s just going to happen.’ You know, we got to go out there and try and take it”. “I don’t feel like we’re underdogs”. “It’s a failure now”.

It’s not the first time the Raiders have gone this route of support. Still, with LeBron James climbing out of a 3-1 hole in the series, the whole thing is fairly awesome. “So like driving this big bus back to Paramount, California, trying to turn the antenna in this auto, driving through the mountains, just to listen to the game“. He, of course, earned the NBA Finals MVP.

Miami avoided elimination with a 103-100 overtime victory in Game 6.

Will Lebron James further the claim of being the best that ever played the game, or will Kevin Durant’s brazen ring chasing pay off?

“I’ve still got to do my routine, put in the same work and execute on the court no matter what I’ve been through. The ultimate. I’m at a loss for words”. Obviously, adding an MVP (Kevin Durant) to a team that already has a two-time MVP (Stephen Curry), that makes them even more impressive. Two great teams playing great basketball right now.

Warriors lead assistant coach Mike Brown has successfully taken his place over the last 10 games. Can other games or matches or series live up on those two measures? He’s our leader and we follow him at all costs. The Cavs, however, have the best player in the world in LeBron James, a trusty sidekick in Kyrie Irving, and a bevy of shooters and defenders to throw at Golden State. They have been better in the post-season but not fantastic.

– The Cavaliers hit 1,067 three-pointers in the regular season, the third-most in National Basketball Association history. “We gave everything we had”.

Kyrie Irving in the Nike Kyrie 3. But it’s been a blessing and something that I know I don’t take for granted. “I came back for a reason”.

Which brings this back to present day. There will be pressure on Curry who could not help his team cross the finishing line last season. For that reason I’ve decided to make a handy guide for all those out there who think Michael Jordan was the King of Pop and Kobe is just a type of beef to assist in your enjoyment of the next four to seven games. “That’s what it was all about”.
