Golden State is the better team.

But when all is said and done, I honestly believe the Warriors are the better team. Who do you think will win the NBA Finals this year?
Tickets to the first four games of the rubber match between the NBA’s two dominant franchises are selling for an average price of $1,082 on SeatGeek, a secondary market ticket aggregator.
Before the third meeting between these two clubs, another LeBron James-led squad, the 2014 Miami Heat (55.4 eFG%), combined with the San Antonio Spurs (53.7 eFG%) to give us the best shooting teams ever in the Finals. “That’s something that we’ve learned”. Oh, and they added one of the best players on the planet (Kevin Durant) to an already-loaded roster.
“You can’t stop LeBron”, said Mike Brown, the Golden State assistant coach guiding the team while head coach Steve Kerr recovers from complications after back surgery. Because of my respect for LeBron James, I will say this series goes 6, but the Warriors get their revenge. “But we’re not satsified”. The total has gone over in 15 of the Cavaliers’ last 21 games. The Cavaliers face the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. “Though maybe slightly lower, demand is generally in line with what we’ve seen the past two seasons”, Rattner said.
In 2016 the Warriors headed to the playoffs with the best record in National Basketball Association history 73-9, surpassing the Chicago Bulls 72-10 record.
“Like trying to turn the antenna, because that’s all we had back then, right?” he said Wednesday in the chaos of NBA Finals Media Day at Oracle Arena. Golden State is coming off a run of 27-1 straight-up and 19-7-2 against the spread across its last 28 games. The two best teams in the National Basketball Association back to duke it out for the third year in a row. So why not want to see it again? They have chemistry. It has only gotten better all year.
We can not forget the match-up of the series LeBron vs. KD. Dallas didn’t disappoint the multitude of haters, winning the series in six, cementing Nowitzki’s place among the all-time greats and further fueling undeserved schadenfreude toward James.
“It has nothing to do with passing him in rings, passing him in points, passing him in MVPs”.
I have stated many times that I have pledged my allegiance to King James, and that is still true today. So, they’re playing good basketball.
That legacy could use another title.
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue says containing the NBA’s top-scoring team is vital.
“What happened in the past in my mind doesn’t really count now unless we go out and finish the deal”, Thompson said. So we can expect both guys to be playing at a high level. “So as long as I perform at this stage now and play my hardest, that’s all I can ask for”.

That’s why a historic 12-0 playoff start won’t mean much if it doesn’t culminate in a crown. So it is no small irony that he’s going to have to beat one in order to secure the fourth title of his career.
