The best spot to root for the Cleveland Cavaliers is the Quicken Loans Arena. But what about if the Cavs are playing on the road. Or what if you can’t afford tickets to attend the game in person at The Q?

The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals for the third time in three seasons.

The Golden State Warriors won the first time around, and the Cavaliers took revenge to even the series last season. Can they prevail again this year?

The best-of-seven game series will follow a 2-2-1-1-1 format, opening in Oakland, California, at Oracle Arena, which reputedly has the most raucous fans in the National Basketball Association.

The first two games will be played on Thursday 1 June and Sunday 4 June in Oakland, and the question is this: will the Cleveland Cavaliers be able to prevail against such a home court advantage?

Golden State rarely loses at home!

The Cavs will Defend the Land on home turf on Wednesday 7 June and Friday 9 June, returning to California to play game five on 12  June.

If the NBA’s two top teams remain tied after five games, they will play their sixth and seventh games (in necessary) in Oakland and Cleveland on Thursday 15 June and Sunday 18 June, respectively.
