Game 1 of the NBA Finals was one of those contests you just want to move on from if you’re a Cleveland Cavalier.

The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ players are reportedly not pleased with how expensive tickets are at Oracle Arena for the NBA Finals.

As we all know, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in convincing fashion during Game 1.

Before he became the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr was an NBA commentator and on Friday he showed signs of his old self.

This is the second year in a row that Kevin Love and Klay Thompson have met against each other in the NBA Finals but it looks like they’ve met each other many times before in the past. In an old photo that recently resurfaced, it’s revealed that the two used to be on the same […]

Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry did not have their usual scoring rampage in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the Golden State Warriors still walked away with a strong win. While Thompson was not on point with his shooting, he was still effective on the offense in a different way. […]

Just when you thought you had seen it all from Draymond Green, he showed up in Game 1 of the NBA Finals series with some pretty questionable defense. The worst of which included a kick to the chest of Kyrie Irving. Draymond was guarding Irving who, admittedly, pulled Green by his jersey. But what happens […]

During a press conference Steph Curry revealed he was in an Uber the other day.

Andre Igoudala came streaking down the court ready to make a play late in Game 1 before a defender swiped from behind at the ball. It was Cavaliers point guard Matthew Dellavedova, and he didn’t quite hit the ball. Delly completed a full hack at Igoudala’s groin area. Igoudala took exception to the play and quickly confronted […]

Led by Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbosa, the Golden State Warriors‘ bench dominated the reserves of the Cleveland Cavaliers, ultimately deciding the game in the Dubs’ favor.

It wasn’t the same familiar faces that guided the Golden State Warriors to a Game 1 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

Draymond Green‘s kicking controversy in the 2016 NBA playoffs continued on Thursday night.

It was getting out of hand, but the league […]

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and clipboards just don’t get along. He’s developed a habit of breaking them in the past, and it happened once again during Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

LeBron James is officially the king in at least one Finals category. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers lost Game 1 of the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, the four-time MVP shattered a Finals record in an unexpected category—three-point field goals.

If you had said to anyone before Game 1 of the Finals that the “Splash Brothers” would be held to just 20 points combined, they would have said you’re crazy.

Numerous players from the past such […]

As most already know, J.J. Redick will not be participating in the 2016 NBA Finals. His Los Angeles Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs a month prior in the first round.

Steve Kerr is angry. In fact, the Warriors head coach was so angry with how his team opened the third quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Cavs that he decided to take it out on a poor, unsuspecting clipboard.
