2016 NBA Finals Prediction

Here is my prediction for the 2016 NBA Finals.

(W1) Golden State Warriors vs (E1) Cleveland Cavaliers: This is going to be a fantastic series. Here we have a rematch of last seasons NBA Finals except the fact that the Cavaliers are healthy this time around. The Warriors are coming off an epic seven game series win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and coming back from a 3-1 series deficit in the process. The Cavaliers are coming off a six game series win over the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals. As I mentioned before, the Cavs are healthy this time around and don't forget Kyrie Irivng got hurt in game 1 of the finals last season and Kevin Love didn't play in the finals at all because he got hurt in the first round last season against the Boston Cetlics. From a Warriors standpoint, they have pretty much the same team intact and they are even better than they were last season. It's hard to pick against LeBron James in a playoff series, but it is also hard to pick against the team that won a record breaking seventy-three games that has the best shooting back court duo that features the MVP either. It isn't easy to repeat in any sport, but this Warriors team is special and I believe they'll repeat as NBA Champions.
Prediction: Warriors in seven games.

Finals MVP: Klay Thompson
