Everyone loves a good rubber match.
The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers are set to meet for the third straight year in the NBA Finals, marking the first time that’s ever happened in the Association’s history. Considering the fact that each team has won a title over the previous two matchups, this series feels like it’s not only a culmination of the 2016-17 NBA season, but of the last three postseasons as well.
Golden State won it all in 2015, but Cleveland has the excuse that they were without both Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving for practically all of that matchup.
