7 Reasons Why The Warriors Will Win The NBA Championship

Golden State has what it takes to slay King James. Here's how they'll do it, from a wannabe wiseguy.

1. Health

No Love. No Varejão. Tendinitis for Irving. Cleveland needs its vegetables.

2. Depth

The Warriors roll out-of-this-world deep. Meanwhile, the Cavs at this point aren't far from literally being a one-man team.

3. Coaching

David Blatt doesn't really understand how basketball works, so Cleveland could be feeling Tom Izzo's pain.

4. Ability to Contain LeBron

The Cavs do have the best player in the world - but sadly for LeBron, Golden State has the best tools in the league to contain him.

5. Matchup Edges Across the Board

I don't always want to see Steph Curry give up the ball. But when I do, I prefer Golden State's matchup edges over Cleveland (No. 23 aside).

6. Chemistry

The Warriors' core players are in their third consecutive playoff run together, while Cleveland is relying on guys who weren't on the team until midway through this season.

7. Home-Court Advantage

The Warriors are great anywhere. They're historically good at home. And thanks to having played better than the Cavs all season long, they own home-court advantage in the Finals.

Even if LeBron can get the series back to the Golden State after Game 5, Oracle Arena would be a fitting place for the Larry O'Brien Trophy to return to the Warriors for the first time in 40 years.
