It is finally here, the long awaited end to a record-breaking season of professional Basketball is upon us and tip-off is just around the corner. The rematch that everyone has wanted to see will start tonight and the Cavs are seeking revenge after losing the Finals to the Warriors last year. Everything is on the line in this series and the teams will be playing the hardest basketball of the year.
Game 1
This is probably the most important game of this series, because it will set the tone for the rest of the games. If the Cavs come out slow, the Warriors will take full advantage of their explosive offense and by half time, they could be up so far that the Cavs may not be able to comeback. LeBron and the Cavs have what it takes to beat the Warriors, but they have not been showing their true depth of players so far this playoff season. The Cavs must be able to count on their bench, just as the Warriors do.
The Warriors, led by Steph Curry have hopefully gotten over the three huge upsets by the Thunder in the last series. They showed what true determination is all about, which is the reason they were able to comeback from a deficit of 1-3. The Warriors will need Klay Thompson to be the baller that he has been in the last few games, and Curry will need to have his regular 35-point plus games.
Prediction
This series will be close and will go at least six games, but the Warriors will win their second Finals in a row. Expect the Warriors to win tonight 112-107.
