“What we hear from fans is that this is more for the experience than what they pay”.

Midway through the second quarter, neither team has led by more than four points yet.
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala is playing in but didn’t start Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night despite a balky back that limited him the previous game.
During the 2015 NBA Finals, James averaged 35.8 points per game, but he was constantly bothered by his lack of efficiency, especially after shooting just 39.8 percent from the field and 31 percent from three-point range.
Would it be that shocking if the Warriors regained their mojo on their home floor and ran away with their second consecutive title? Golden State returns home to Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.to play Game 7 in front of its home fans.
Over the last few days, I’ve been trying to brace myself for how I’ll feel if the Golden State Warriors lose Game 7 and trying to convince myself it doesn’t matter due to their success over the last two years, but it’s really not about one game validating or ruining a season. The Warriors are led by Draymond Green’s 28 points.
Tip off: 8 p.m.at Oracle Arena.
Incidentally, the Warriors’ record when Ezeli starts this season is 13-0.
Or will it be the Cavaliers, who could end more than half a century of heartache in Cleveland? “The only thing that matters is we have one game left to figure it out”. We can’t say, ‘Oh, we’re going to play at home, ‘ and it’s going to be loud. Their largest lead in search history came after Game 1, when they lead the Cavaliers by a search rating of 26. In fact, only three teams out of 33 have forced an NBA Finals Game 7 after trailing 3-1. The other two teams are the 1951 New York Knicks (against the Rochester Royals) and the 1966 Los Angeles Lakers (against the Boston Celtics). There are no shortage of storylines – Cleveland’s quest avenge last season’s loss to Golden State to end the city’s title drought, the Warriors’ attempt to repeat as champions while avoiding an epic collapse, just to name a few – but can the game live up to the hype?
Meanwhile, the Warriors looked rattled Thursday night.
Barnes has missed 10 of 11 3-pointers those games a part of a 2-of-22 shooting performance, while and Curry and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson have been hot and cold from distance.
