Cavs: Kyrie Irving is at a percentage far less than 100 and coach David Blatt conceded this week that “progress is slow” with Irving’s ailing left knee. Irving enters these NBA Finals believing he’ll play in every game and won’t be a game-time decision, but the reality is Irving has felt well during the layoffs in these playoffs, then aggravates the knee again the first time he cuts on it. Iman Shumpert shot 43 percent on 3-pointers in the sweep against the Atlanta Hawks, and J.R. Smith averaged 18 points and shot 47 percent on 3-pointers.
Warriors: Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are already the top two in Warriors history in postseason 3-pointers even though this is only the third trip for both.
