Re:
No way. He's looking for a team that can go all the way, right now.
Warriors’ Advantages:
1) home court
2) beat the Cavs in Finals last year
3) beat the Cavs in both regular season meetings, including blow-out in Cleveland
4) much better regular season record
Cavs’ Advantages:
1) two key players who missed the Finals last year are healthy, along with some new players
2) team has looked very strong in the postseason
3) now a very good three point shooting team, to go along with LeBron’s inside terror
4) more rested, not only for Game 1 (five days off vs. two for GS), but has not been stressed or pushed nearly as much in postseason as GS has.
Wild Cards
1) Curry has been inconsistent, spectacular at some times, poor at others. Is he still feeling the effects of ankle, knee and even elbow injuries?
2) OKC seemed to provide a blueprint for beating the Warriors, with length and quickness taking away both long range shots and lanes to the hoop. Can Cleveland do that, and will they try?
3) If a game turns into a three point shootout, can the Cavs hang with the Warriors?
Most wins in a single season plus postseason:
87 1995-96 Bulls
85 (so far) 2015-16 Warriors
84 1996-97 Bulls
83 2014-15 Warriors
