Game 7 NBA Finals 2016

Wow, the Cavaliers have their first championship, what a tight game. Like I said, the Cavs were the better team on paper, and on the court, they only just squeaked past the Warriors. Three in a row and to win playing away from home - a great effort.

NBA Finals Game 6

I've got to start being consistent. I said at the start that the Cavaliers looked to have the better team and that's the way it looks now they're going to game 7.  Maybe the Warriors have internal strife as Thompson was seen to leave the arena before the hooter. That's totally unacceptable in my book, not a good look and it does nothing for team unity. Right now you'd have to put your money on the Cavs even though they're playing away from home.

NBA Finals Game 5

Being without the suspended Draymond Green the Warriors didn't look complete. On top of that the Warriors shots weren't dropping while James and Irving were playing superbly for the Cavs. This is turning into a gripping series, at this rate it will go the full seven games.

NBA Finals Game 4

Okay, so back to the usual settings, the Warriors are the better team. Is there disunity within the Cavaliers?

NBA Finals Game 3 Warriors v Cavaliers

Lebron James was fired up on his home court. Can he maintain the intensity from here on? Are the Warriors legs beginning to fade?

NBA Finals Game 2

Is this series going to be a classic contest of a great team against a team of great players? It looks like it as the Warriors go 2-0 up on a blow out 33 point margin of victory. Looking at the scoring, the Warriors bench averaged 5 points each with only two not scoring at all. What a great team effort from the Warriors.

2016 NBA Finals Warriors v Cavaliers Game 1

The Cavs have played 14 games to get to the finals while the Warriors have played 17. The Warriors coach did a masterful job in trusting his bench to do the job, and limiting the minutes of Curry and Thompson. It paid off, the bench stood up, while the Cavs shot poorly and had poor shot selection. Many times they'd give up the obvious shot to force the ball to a more difficult position. So the Warriors won the first game of the series easily. Hand it to the Warriors coach who on paper does not have the better team, but he's an expert at maximising his resources.
