The Golden State Warriors are opening as heavy favorites to repeat as NBA champions in the 2018 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.That the Cavaliers are underdogs is a surprise to no one. Golden State beat Cleveland in five games in last year's Finals, and the Cavs are without Kyrie Irving this time around.The Eastern Conference champions went through the ringer just to get past the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics, who are promising teams but are clearly below the level of the Warriors.
The Cleveland Cavaliers clinched a conference title Sunday night, and the Golden State Warriors will be joining them in the NBA Finals following a Game 7 victory Monday.Cleveland lost both regular-season matchups with Golden State, and the Finals may be a repeat of that considering the Cavs needed two Game 7s to win the East, which is commonly viewed as the weaker conference.
Golden State Warriors will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Finals. It was a bit harder than usual for the two teams to arrive at this point, as they each needed to win a Game 7 on the road in their respective conference final series, but they got the job done to set up a four-match.
