Single-game tickets for the 2016 NBA Finals will go on sale Tuesday, officials with the Golden State Warriors announced. It’s an entirely different thing to look that same way against a team like the Golden State Warriors.

It was well used by the commentator, who compared the effort of the Rockets back in the 90s to the Warriors come from behind series win over the Thunder this week.
The thrilling Western conference finals concluded with the Golden State Warriors defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 96- 88 in do or die game 7. While we’re not saying Curry being locked in automatically gives the Warriors the championship, if he’s given the space to play like the offensive anomaly that he is, an uphill climb awaits the Cavs.
“They shoot the ball extremely well”, James said. The only way any ex-Cleveland Cavaliers should get an NBA Championship ring is by beating the Cavs.
Add in the seven-game marathon against the Thunder, and the Warriors are significantly more tested and exhausted than a year ago, when they lost just three games through the first three rounds of the playoffs.
The 33-year-old Varejao had been with Cleveland since his rookie season in 2004, but was unceremoniously traded to the Blazers in February to make room for the Cavaliers to acquire Channing Frye. Andre Iguodala changed the complexion of last year’s Finals, starting out guarding LeBron James on defense, and making plays, making shots, and he earned himself the Finals MVP award.
LeBron is perhaps the most physically talented player in the history of the National Basketball Association, and if he were to retire tomorrow, he’d go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Irving and Love want to show what they can do healthy against the NBA’s best.
The question now is a healthy Cavs team capable of taking down Stephan Curry and Klay Thompson who both can drop 30 points on any given night and have a solid supporting cast of their own.
Bay Area fans should enjoy the success while they can. Unlike last year’s Finals, franchise superstar LeBron James is going to be supported by fellow Big Three members point guard Kyrie Irving and forward Kevin Love this time. They had success for three games, then the Warriors got the engine up and running again.

Last season’s runner-ups, the Cavs, made it to the Finals earlier this postseason after only needing six games to dispatch the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals.
