We are getting the NBA FINALS that we all wanted. We are also getting the finals that we all knew in our hearts was going to happen. The playoffs, for the most part, have been borderline dreadful with continual blowouts and lopsided games. There simply have been no other teams that have been able to even come close to either Cleveland or Golden State this post season.

After last years incredible and very emotional ride that Cleveland went on, coming back 3 games to 1 was historically phenomenal. The series last year we saw Kyrie grow up ( 27.1 ppg ) and LeBron showed even more of a champions heart than many have given him credit for, in his illustrious and legendary career.

I fully expect these finals to be some of the best games that we’ll see in quite some time. Golden State made some huge moves during the off season picking up Kevin Durant ( career 27.2 ppg ) who has been nothin but exceptional for the Dubs with his 25.1 ppg and career best 53.7% shooting. They just continue to stacks the odds in their favor in the west.

Cleveland and Golden State both have offenses that have been virtually unstoppable – lighting up and beating teams by painful numbers during these playoffs. Both of these teams have huge household names who are both capable of dropping 50 any given night without problems. But they also have the calming luxury of surrounding their players with other great players. We really haven’t seen this kind of 2 team dominance in many many years – sit back and enjoy what we knew was coming all year long.
