LeBron James says he’s ready for Warriors-Cavs III

Draymond Green just doesn’t see the logic: How could three straight NBA Finals between Golden State and Cleveland possibly be boring? When Game 1 of the NBA Finals tips June 1, the Warriors will have spent 52 days without losing. They have played all season to avenge their performance in last year’s Finals, where the Cavaliers overcame a 3-1 deficit and prevented them from winning consecutive titles. The story lines are plenty, including a few fresh ones, such as acting Golden State coach Mike Brown going against the team he coached not once but twice.

The Warriors are listed as seven-point favorites for Game 1 at home, according to CBS Sports.

The numbers are higher across the board this year. He has scored 30 or more points in 11 of the Cavaliers 13 games this postseason. They’ve been the best team in our league for the last three years, and then they added an MVP.

Fighting to keep their season alive, the Celtics aren’t giving an inch despite playing without All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas, who may need surgery on a hip injury. There hasn’t been a Game 7 overtime since in the Final. “But it’s a different year”.

After the Warriors beat the Cavs for their first title in 40 years in 2015, Cleveland got revenge last season with a comeback from 3-1 down to give the city its first major championship since 1964.

“They’re genuine with their happiness. the loyalness and the support that the people of the Bay Area gives the Warriors – that’s really special and I hope you guys never take that for granted there”. I wore a leg sleeve on my leg and folded it down so you saw the red part. It’s very, very hard for a team these days to win two years in a row. They’ve just been more consistent and they added Kevin freakin’ Durant.

A win tonight would be the Cavs’ 13th consecutive victory in a closeout game, which would break the record they now share with the Lakers (2000-04). Fitz expects closer games this time around, and so do we.

But the playoffs were always a long shot for a team that had gone 17-65 the season before, one that featured not only a highly touted 18-year-old star but a new head coach in Paul Silas.

While James is going for his fourth ring, Warriors forward Kevin Durant will be trying to win his first.

Deron Williams, who had been quiet for most of the series, also got in on the act with a series-best 14 points for Cleveland.

I like what Kerr said this season about how it’s in Curry’s job description as this team’s point guard to figure out how to integrate Durant’s talents. This time, the Warriors win at home at Oracle and the confetti falls for them and their revenge tour. I don’t think you’ll see any 20-point blowouts in this series. “Think I’ve made more than I’ve missed, though, so the percentages are pretty good”. Invincibility is the word that comes to my mind in terms of how we were playing, how we felt and how we were going to dismantle the opponent.

Chicago, which was a minus-190 favorite on the money line and a plus-110 underdog on the run line (-1.5), was ahead 5-2 when ideal closer Wade Davis took the mound in the ninth inning.

These two split their two regular-season meetings: A 5-1 Predators win at home on October 22 against Marc-Andre Fleury after a bunch of players were unable to go because of food poisoning and a 4-2 Penguins’ home win on January 31 against Rinne, and without the injured Evgeni Malkin.
