Steph Curry and Klay Thompson must prove vital if the Warriors want to win the game 7.

This playoffs, the Warriors have been led by a two-headed shooting monster, but the Cavaliers have ultimately forced other players to beat them in each game. Game 1, which the Warriors were led by 20 points from Livingston, was the lone game where the Warrior bench was able to shock the world.

Klay Thompson knows what is at stake. He knows that being second is not fun. He has something promised for us.

Golden State will be at home to close the NBA Finals.

Analysts will say that the Cavaliers have the edge since momentum is on their side, but we are here to say the opposite. Home court advantage, which will create an incredible buzz in Oracle, will cause disarray for the refs and Cleveland Cavaliers.

With both Steve Kerr and Steph Curry receiving fines for Game 6 shenanigans, the referees will no doubt be a crucial factor. They will not and can not decide the game. It will be an intense match-up between the teams. The Cavs need Kevin Love to step up, while the Warriors need Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes to step up.

Draymond must make shots; Draymond must box-out; Draymond must defend. He is one of the key factors, but ultimately this game will come to if the 2x MVP can be the Golden State savior yet again. Chef Curry cooked up 30 points and 6 threes in game 6, but that was not enough. If he can repeat this miraculous performance, his team must be there for him.
