Though his team is going back to the NBA Finals for the fourth year in a row, Warriors owner Joe Lacob is growing tired of LeBron James standing in the way of another Golden State title.
Following the Warriors’ 101-92 victory over the Houston Rockets in Game 7 on Monday, Lacob said he too is fatigued about facing the Cleveland Cavaliers again, when asked about their Finals date Thursday night.
“Sort of tired of Cleveland to be honest,” Lacob told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “But having said that, LeBron James is an immense challenge, an incredible player. It’ll be fun.”
The road to the Finals hasn’t been easy for Cleveland and Golden State this season with both teams pushed to Game 7 of their conference finals against Boston and Houston, respectively.
“It was a very tough series,” Lacob said. “Winning on the road, first time we’ve ever done that in Game 7. That’s a big one. But the big one’s still to come. Gotta go win the title.”
While the Warriors own two of the last three championship titles when facing the Cavaliers, all eyes will be on James once more, as he returns to the Finals for the eighth straight time, hoping to bring another title back to Cleveland.
