OAKLAND – The backdrop became the same thing as it always has for the past four years. The Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals with a front office, coaching staff and All-Star players collaborating for the common good. The Cleveland Cavaliers advanced to the NBA Finals with LeBron James prevailing through roster turnover and front-office dysfunction.
Will it ever stop? To everyone else in the NBA, they wish it happened yesterday. To the Warriors and Cavaliers, they hope it keeps happening with Game 1 beginning on Thursday at Oracle Arena.
