The Cleveland Cavaliers put up a fight in game six, but the series was over near the end of game four. It is still shocking to me that the Cavs even won two games in this series. Two games that put them in a position to go up 3-1 in the series. I think it is safe to say we all knew the Warriors would not let that happen, and that we all knew Golden State would win the series. Not once did I believe otherwise. Not even when Matthew Dellavedova was hitting and one bank shots from the ground. I remained confident that the best team I have seen since the 2008 Boston Celtics was going to turn it around, especially against this undermanned Cleveland squad.
After game three, players like Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes were simply not themselves, and looked like the spotlight was perhaps too big. Those two turned it around and played their best basketball of the series in the last two games. Green in particular with an impressive triple double in the closeout game. Something not many players have ever done in finals history.
This match up could be one we see for years in the future. I think the Cavs will be the favorites in the east as long as LeBron James continues to suit up, and Golden State have no reason to not be the favorites in the west.
