NBA Finals Are Upon Us

After an exciting end to the Western Conference Finals the NBA Finals match up is finally confirmed. The Warriors will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 1 in Oakland tonight and this series should not disappoint. After the Cavs were without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving last year the Cavs managed to push the Warriors to six games behind one of the best finals performances ever by LeBron James. With Cavaliers back at full strength this year and the Warriors being healthy there are no more excuses. This is the rematch everyone wanted and we are lucky that we got it.

For the Cavaliers they had just about a week off after beating the Toronto Raptors in six. They should be well rested considering they had about a week worth of rest between each series so far in the playoffs. For the Warriors they should still have some momentum due to the fact they played Monday and have won three in a row against a very good Thunder team.

I think the Cavaliers will come in a surprise everyone and steal Game 1 in Oakland. As for the series the Warriors are given a 75% chance of winning the series. It is understanding why considering what they just did to the Thunder. But I would like to remind people that the Thunder had their problems down the stretch of the final three games. I do not expect the Cavaliers to make these same mistakes. With all that said it is really up in the air what will happen. It is hard to bet against the Warriors after they just proved me wrong in the Western Conference Finals. If Kevin Love and J.R. Smith do not have a good series, the Warriors will win in seven. Either way this series will go seven games as long as the Cavaliers win one of the first two games in Oracle Arena. This should be an awesome NBA Finals to watch. You can catch the game at nine o'clock on ABC.
