NBA Finals: 3 Things to Watch For/ Who Will Be the Next “Crying Jordan”
By Taylor Hunt
What team will fall victim to the new face of the ‘Crying Jordan’ meme tomorrow night?
It’s been a very interesting Finals for sure. Not a single game has ended with a team winning by less than 10 points, but that could change tomorrow night. The Cavs have all the momentum going into the closing game between the two teams, but the Warriors are back home, where they have only lost four games in Oracle Arena during the regular season and postseason COMBINED.
They are a totally different team at home than on the road, and it will be a test for the Cavs to see if they can carry the momentum into game 7.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are only the third team to ever be down 3-1 in the NBA Finals and take the series to a game 7. The last two teams both ended up losing, so the Cavs could become the first team ever to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals. That would not only add to LeBron’s legacy, but it would be the first NBA Championship for Cleveland, and their first professional championship since the Cleveland Browns won a NFL Championship in 1964.
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are looking to become only the 7th NBA team to win back-to-back NBA Championships. This is a feat that should not to be looked at lightly as almost all of the past teams to achieve this feat have been legendary and dominant teams during their time in the NBA.
Next: Another dominant game?
