We certainly know the Cavaliers have been in this spot before, but so far the 2017 NBA Finals have been a cakewalk for the Warriors. Two games of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant performing at peak powers has Golden State on the verge of an historic 16-0 postseason. And it has many NBA fans wondering if their dominance has made the league uninteresting.
But with Cleveland’s backs against the wall, could there be another storybook chapter for the legacy of LeBron James? Or will this be more of a repeat of the 2014 NBA Finals when the Spurs overwhelmed James’ Heat team in a tremendous display of offensive prowess? If LeBron and company can’t keep the Warriors from sweeping through the playoffs, what chance does any other team in the future have?
To look at what happened in the first two games and project what might happen next, former NBA video coordinator Mo Dakhil (@thejumpballnet) joins for a new episode of Fastbreak Breakfast. Mo hosts The Jumpball podcast and also contributes to FastModel Sports and offers some suggestion about how the Cavaliers can try to even the series.
