The Cleveland Cavaliers have arrived in the Bay Area on Tuesday afternoon as they wait for the start of this year's NBA finals. Part three of this epic matchup between Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers will begin on Thursday night as Game 1 tips off at Oracle Arena. There's no doubt that this year's Finals will be one for the ages, as these two teams meet for the third straight time.
That never happened in the history of the NBA and the fact that each team has won against the other in the Finals before makes it even more interesting.
Also, let's not forget about the fact that in last year's Finals, one other thing happened for the first time ever. Golden State had a 3-1 lead and Game 5 on their home floor to seal the deal, but the Cavaliers ended up winning the title in Game 7 with a miracle comeback. Prior to that, no team had ever dropped a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals.
Cavs and Warriors on a historic run
For the first time ever we will have the same two teams meet in the NBA finals for the third year in a row. The Cavaliers and the Warriors have been on a roll this postseason, as the Warriors enter the Finals with a perfect 12-0 record, while the Cavaliers are 12-1 so far in the playoffs. They've dominated their opponents along the way and finally, on Thursday night they will meet in Game 1 of this year's finals.
The Warriors will have the home-court advantage in this series but the Cavs have proven they can win at Oracle Arena.
The matchup we've all been waiting for all season long has arrived and we expect it to be nothing short of spectacular. On Tuesday afternoon the Cavaliers have arrived in the Bay Area, San Francisco, as they are getting prepared for the opening game of the series. Since the start of the postseason, the Cavaliers looked like they are having
Since the start of the postseason, the Cavaliers looked like they are having lots of fun while dismantling their opponents in the Eastern Conference and their great chemistry is surely one of the most important factors in their championship run.
Jefferson and Thompson having fun
As we said, Game 1 tips off on Thursday night but the trash talk has already started. As soon as the Cavaliers landed on "Warriors territory" on Tuesday afternoon, Richard Jefferson and Tristan Thompson started with the trash talk. They were apparently still at the airport, waiting for the bus to take them to their hotel when they recorded this nine-second video.

At the beginning of the video both of them are saying, "We're back." with big smiles on their faces and it appears like they said, "Back to back." Interesting, back-to-back champions maybe? We'll see.
It's not the first time that the Cavaliers are trolling the Warriors as we all well know but one thing is for sure, this is a rivalry and the winner of this year's finals will have the last laugh.
