Who Wins the NBA Finals: Cavs vs. Warriors
The NBA finals are here and Vegas pros Teddy Covers and Steve Fezzik are here to break down who is taking home the trophy. Teddy points out in the past season the teams squared off twice, splitting the results, though the Golden State victory came with a squad with no Lebron James. For Fezzik, the past is the past and he thinks Golden State sweeps Cleveland where LBJ lacks the supporting cast to be a true contender for the title. While Teddy doesn't think the Cavs can win, he doesn't like the price and thinks they are overhyped by organizations like 538 and Nate Silver.
