The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors meet in the 2017 NBA Finals for the third straight season. These 5 reasons show why the Cavs will win.

The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers are poised to become one of the greatest rivalries in NBA history as the two organizations meet in the Finals for the third time in three years.

The Warriors got the best of the Cavaliers during the first go-round, as a Lebron James willed an injury ravaged Wine & Gold squad to six games before finally falling.

Last season, the Cavs got their revenge as LeBron and the Cavs came from a 3-1 deficit to upset the Warriors in seven games.

Now, it’s time for the rubber match. The Warriors added Kevin Durant, but lost several key role players from their Finals squads of the past two years.

The Cavs coasted–and that’s being polite–through the regular season before flipping the switch and going 12-1 in the Eastern conference playoffs.

Cavs. Warriors. It’s how this season had to end, and these five reasons highlight why the Cavs will win.
