The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will most likely meet each other in the NBA Finals this upcoming June. You know it. I know it. Even NBA Hall of Famer and current TNT analyst Charles Barkley knows it.

In a recent interview with NBA reporter Marc Stein, Barkley said “The toughest thing for me is I have to get on tv and fake it for the next seven months that it’s not going to be the Warriors and the Cavs in the Finals again.”

It’s hard to disagree with him. The Warriors and Cavs once again have the deepest rosters in the NBA and are led by superstars such as Kevin Durant and Steph Curry for the Warriors and Lebron James and Kevin Love for the Cavs.

The biggest threat to another Cavs-Warriors Finals rematch appears to be the Boston Celtics, who acquired free agent forward Gordon Hayward and traded with the Cavs for superstar point guard Kyrie Irving during the summer. The Celtics met the Cavs in last year’s Eastern Conference championship and were severely outmatched and eliminated in five games. Boston fans (and a lot of NBA fans) are hoping that these new additions will help the Celtics knock off the Cavs and claim the East title.

During the summer, it was reported that Lebron James wasn’t satisfied with what the Cavs had done during the offseason to improve the team after they lost in five games to the Warriors in the Finals. This led to speculation that Lebron would leave Cleveland for a second time and sign elsewhere as a free agent when his contract expires after this season. This motivated the Cavs to go out and improve the depth of their roster, adding veteran free agent players like Derrick Rose and Dwayne Wade. The Cavs also acquired all-star point guard Isaiah Thomas along with small forward Jae Crowder from the Celtics in the Kyrie Irving trade. Knocking off the Cavs in the East playoffs is now going to be harder than ever.

The Warriors have a firm grasp of dominance over the West, although several Western Conference teams added a few players that should improve their teams and make the West playoffs a little more interesting, like the Houston Rockets adding all-star point guard Chris Paul and the Oklahoma City Thunder adding all-star forwards Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. Although these additions make these respective teams better, it still isn’t enough to overcome the Warriors incredible roster that includes Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

While the NBA regular season might include some interesting moments and storylines, but it won’t matter in the end. Expect to see the same old story in June when the Warriors and Cavs meet again in the NBA Finals.
