The 2016 #NBAFinals just got very interesting!

It's a series. Make no mistake about that.

Game 4 may just be the series.

After notching an emphatic win in Game 3, the Cleveland Cavaliers look like they’re right back in the thick of the fight against defending champion Golden State. The Warriors looked mighty fine and invulnerable after big home wins in Games 1-2, but they fell flat on their faces in Game 3. Suddenly, the Dubs are in danger of losing their luster and their control of this series, which is why Game 4 is going to be huge. I have a feeling whoever wins Game 4 wins the whole thing. If the Cavs win, their confidence will shoot up like rockets, and I wouldn’t put it past them to upset GSW at Oracle Arena in Game 5. On the other hand, if the Warriors prevail, I think they’ll finish it at home.

The 2016 NBA Finals Preview: Varejao wins!

Only one thing is certain in the 2016 NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors. Anderson Varejao will finally get a championship ring. 

Yes, even if his current team, GSW, loses to his former team, Cleveland. That’s because in an interesting wrinkle, Varejao is the first player in NBA history to play for both NBA Finalists in the same season. He played in 31 games for Cleveland before getting shipped to Portland in February and then eventually landing in GSW. If the Cavs win it all, I expect they’d give one of the most loved big men in franchise history a ring, even if he did finish the season on the other end of the coast.

But now onto more serious stuff. What will the NBA Finals be like and who will win?

#NBAFinals: Will the Dubs REPEAT?

They led the NBA standings from Day 1 and they barely wavered from the top. They finished with the best record in franchise history at 67-15 and they were nearly unbeatable at the Oracle Arena during the regular season (39-2). The Warriors were hardly threatened as they made their way to the top of the NBA mountain as 2015 world champs. But that was last month and it's time to reflect if the Dubs can do this all over again for the upcoming season.

So, will the Warriors Repeat?

If you're reading this post, chances are, you watched most (if not all) of the 2015 NBA Finals. If that's the case, then you saw with your own two eyes the best player in the NBA. NO, he wasn't on the Golden State Warriors, and NO, he definitely was not the Finals MVP. He played for the losing team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. In most cases, he played alone.

This series went 6 games instead of a sweep for the Warriors. That was a small miracle. The Cavs were up 2-1 early and threatened to take control of the series because of LeBron James. If you are a Warriors' fan or supporter, you were probably worried that the Dubs might actually lose the finals. The series was close because of LBJ!

#NBAFinals: Warriors are Champions again after 40 years!!!

It’s done. Small ball is king of the big man’s game. The Golden State Warriors succeeded in dominating the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals to pocket their first NB championship after four decades of frustration. Steph Curry played like the MVP again and, well, his teammate Andre Iguodala, who has been crazy good in this series, was named Finals MVP. 

Game Capsules from The Sports Network:

Golden State 105, Cleveland 97
Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - A beaming Stephen Curry raised his arms in the air with both index fingers pointed to the sky. Seconds later, the NBA MVP received a congratulatory handshake from LeBron James. After the final buzzer sounded, NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala retrieved the game ball, clenched it tightly against his hip and joyfully began to jump up and down.
