Here we are again, the last two standing out of 30 teams. Both teams have been battled tested and are four wins away from a NBA Championship. Cleveland Cavilers versus Golden State Warriors, back-to-back NBA Finals matchup.
Last year, Golden State defeated the Cavilers (4-2). Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving suffered a leg injury, which put LeBron James in a position to carry the load unaccompanied. Unfortunately, it was not enough firepower to sojourn the “Splash Brothers” and the 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala.
This year the Cavs are ready for a rematch. Their three healthy superstars (James, Irving, and Love) and supporting cast have swept their first two opponents this postseason. Therefore they should be well rested for Thursdays Game 1. Although, the Warriors were lethargic the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, they regained their swagger and confidence, becoming the 10th team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit.
The Finals will be extremely fascinating because Curry will have to play defense instead of relaxing and helping off of Andre Roberson. Everyone on the Cavilers can score the basketball from Kyrie Irving to Mo Williams. Cleveland have their hands full as well, they have the chance to defeat whom maybe the best team in NBA history.
