The Golden State Warriors, winners of an NBA
record 73 games during the regular season, will go for a second straight
title after dispatching the Houston Rockets (4-1), taking out the
Portland Trail Blazers (4-1), and battling back to from a 3-1 deficit to
upend the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference finals.
The Cleveland Cavaliers cruised through the first two rounds of the
Eastern Conference playoffs, sweeping the Detroit Pistons (4-0) and
Atlanta Hawks (4-0), before suffering their only losses of the
postseason so far in Games 3 and 4 against Toronto and eventuall closing
the East finals with Raptors by a combined 64 points in Games 5 and 6.The Warriors and Cavaliers will meet for the title for the second consecutive season. Golden State captured its first championship in 40 years with a 4-2 finals victory over Cleveland in 2015.
Will Golden State complete its historic run with another title? Or will LeBron James, making his sixth straight trip to the NBA Finals, bring the Cavaliers their first championship and end the city of Cleveland’s 52-year title drought?
Follow along for live scores and updates from Game 1 between the Warriors and Cavaliers.
Both teams have efficient offenses, with a
heavy reliance on 3-pointers. The big difference between them is pace.
The Warriors want to move as quickly as possible while the Cavaliers,
regardless of what Coach Tyronn Lue may have wanted when he started
coaching them, tend to grind out games at a snail’s pace.
If Cleveland allows Golden State to dictate the speed of the game,
the series could be a serious mismatch. The Warriors have a far deeper
roster and are more balanced on the defensive side. While Klay Thompson,
Green and Iguodala are likely to pose a defensive challenge to Irving,
Love and James, it is hard to see anyone on the Cavaliers other than
James being much of a threat to the Golden State offense.There is a path to victory for Cleveland that involves turning the series into a slugfest. The hyper-emotional Green is on thin ice with the league and can be temporarily removed as a threat by getting him to lash out just once. Thompson can also be drawn into foul trouble if Cleveland plays things correctly, and Golden State can be exploited with intentional fouls on Festus Ezeli, a comically bad free-throw shooter.
The problem, as so many teams have found out, is that the shooting of Curry and Thompson means that almost no lead is safe and that a team must press for all 48 minutes to secure a victory. It sounds simple enough, but Golden State’s record of 168-34 over the last two seasons, including the playoffs, indicates it is a daunting task.
