Cleveland
It may not have looked great early but once Cleveland found its stride it seemed destined for the Finals. They have endured the loss of Kevin Love like it was nothing and now the best player on the planet will look to further his legacy by earning another title. For me that feat would be way more impressive than anything he did with the Heat.

I am not one for sentimentality but I appreciate the storybook nature of it all. Make no mistake though, Cleveland is good enough to win.
There are so many matchups that are going to determine how this series plays out. LeBron is going to get his but the surrounding talent is going to have to step up if the Cavs are going to win.
I think it will be interesting to see how healthy Kyrie Irving is and if he feels any additional pressure trying to keep up with Steph Curry, points wise.

They need him productive but under control.
Golden State
The Warriors are looking to cap off their strong season with a championship. I hadn’t considered it before but they do they might be considered among the best teams of the past 25 years or so given how they dominated a strong Western Conference and how they were so strong offensively and defensively.
Not bad for a first year head coach huh? Steve Kerr knows winning and he has given his team the green light to play the way they do best. This should be a good series.
Most pundits think the job of guarding LeBron is going to fall on Harrison Barnes perhaps making him the most pivotal player in this series for Golden State. I think that player will be Klay Thompson.
Assuming Curry is being Curry Thompson can put a lot of pressure on the Cavs if he can get his offensive game to back where it was during the regular season.

If so the Warriors are really hard to guard.
