After an entire week off, the NBA Playoffs continue Thursday night as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors start a hard-to-predict NBA Finals matchup in Oakland.
Why the prediction difficulties?
Before the season started, few people would have picked Golden State to roll through the regular season with the best record in the league (67–15) and then come out of the loaded Western Conference in the postseason. But they did.
Normally even the best of teams fold when a crucial player goes down and the team chemistry is lost.
