TheĀ Golden State Warriors are headed back to the NBA Finals, and it’s no secret who they want to play in the championship round.
The Warriors finished their Western Conference finals sweep of the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, and afterward, Warriors owner Joe Lacob took a shot at the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers, of course, came back from a 3-1 seriesĀ deficitĀ in last year’s NBA Finals to stun the Warriors and win their first championship in franchise history.
Cleveland currently holds a 2-1 series lead over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern ConferenceĀ finals, but with the C’s missing star guard Isaiah Thomas, it appears that Lacob will get his wish.
But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.
