The Warriors have had a week’s worth of a rest and you can bet the W’s key core of players Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, and Klayton Thompson are well rested and prepared for Thursday’s game in Oakland for the NBA Finals. There’s been talk that this team is like a machine and that this could be their best team ever. So the Warriors have something to prove to the whole world that they can win a second championship in three years. The only concern is that they might be too rested and the Cavaliers could be still on some adrenaline from the few short days that they beat the Boston Celtics in the third round of the playoffs.

There is a lot of anticipation that the Warriors and Cavaliers bring to the Finals this reminds me of the Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali fights this brings a lot of anticipation you have the east coast and the west coast teams. Cleveland who won last year and then you have the west coast the Warriors. Then you have two of the top players going head to head in this finals of Curry and LeBron. Those are two players bring a lot of acceleration to the finals and with all this in mind the players are really looking forward to series.
