As we begin these Finals, the Warriors are the favorites according
to the Las Vegas oddsmakers. The Warriors are seven point favorites in game
one. According to the experts, the Warriors see Kevin Love as the “weak point”
in the Cleveland machine. They intend to force the ball in Love's direction,
and make him beat them, not Kyrie Irving or Lebron James. Of course, this
tactic has been tried many times by many different teams, although none of them
are nearly as talented as the Warriors are. Cleveland intends to use the same
formula they have used the entire playoffs. They manage Lebron James' minutes
before the fourth quarter, and rely on the likes of Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving
to keep them in the game. The Cavs will then hope that Lebron James takes over
in the fourth quarter. The league and its sponsors hope for a close and
exciting Finals. As we have the same two teams for the third year in a row, it
would probably take a seven game, “back and forth” series to keep fans glued to
their televisions.
