There no injuries of note, each team has been off for a week to rest and prepare and there is an expectation it could be one of the best series of the era. Here’s a look:There are 11 players who have been named NBA all-stars in the series and between LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant seven of the past eight winners of the league’s Most Valuable Player award will battle it out. The same teams meet in a third straight NBA final for the first time in league history starting Thursday when the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers meet in a rubber match that’s been anticipated since last year’s seven-game series ended. LeBron James on Kevin Durant? And maybe we’ll get it, maybe James will be even better than he has been and maybe Kevin Love will make every shot he looks at and Kyrie Irving will be brilliant.
