We’re just in the same position that we were in previous year.

Everything he can do to help Golden State get prepared, Kerr is doing – until he feels he might be fine to return to the bench.

LeBron James has invited some of the comparisons to Michael Jordan by speaking about “chasing the ghost in Chicago.”But let’s be honest”. The Warriors have already dispatched of the Spurs and wait in the wings for a potential rubber match with the Cavs. Suffice to say it was a special year for Golden State.
This season the Warriors have been good but not as good as they were a year ago.
LeBron James knows the Cavaliers are facing a monster in the NBA Finals.
The Warriors have made it no secret that they wanted to face the Cavs again and believe the better team lost in last year’s Finals.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have had just three days to catch their breath after their grueling seven-game series against the Ottawa Senators was settled in double-overtime.
Durant, who previously faced James in the 2012 Finals with Golden State, has taken a great team and elevated it to a almost unstoppable level. Both teams have been virtually unbeatable in the 2017 NBA Playoffs. Yes, actual t-shirts. Absolutely heart-breaking. They’re 7-0 on the road in this year’s playoffs. And in true Warriors fashion, they sealed their top spot by breaking a record.
But against the Cavaliers – especially if the Warriors decide to go small and Cleveland leaves a big man on Iguodala – he must occasionally make them pay with a 3.
“A lot of schemes you had in place before we could try to double team and get the ball out of Steph’s hands and now having that dynamic scorer, dynamic shooter in Durant it makes it tough because now you’re flying around and you have Klay and Durant on the back side”, coach Tyronn Lue said.
Past year the Cavaliers’ finals win was pretty much sealed by a show-stopping performance by Kyrie Irving.
Through the playoffs, the Warriors have hit like thunder and struck like lightning. He’ll have the Cavs ready, and they can also count on him to keep them relaxed.
A champion with the Miami Heat in 2012 and ’13 in addition to winning it all with the Cavs last year, James spoke like the seasoned 14th-year pro he is when asked if the current Cleveland team was the best he’s played on.
“He’s one of the most unsafe guys we have in the world already”, James said. We’ve been through it all … we’re prepared for pretty much anything. We know where we come from, we do understand where we come from and the only difference between us and someone who has their MBA – is opportunity. “We’re a better Cavaliers team and they’re a better Warriors team”.
The primary reason that the Cavs and James are considered underdogs in this series is how well the Warriors have been playing down the stretch.

What sticks in the craw of some fans is how the teams were constructed, as if the Warriors or Cavaliers broke some rules in putting together their rosters.
