Twitter Wonders If Warriors Will Blow 3-0 NBA Finals Lead to Cavaliers

Up 3-0 in the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors are one victory away from avenging last year's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

For those successful at avoiding stale memes, the Warriors squandered a 3-1 advantage to the Cavaliers in 2016's championship. Social media users continue to fixate on this collapse.

Of course, this is entirely irrelevant to this year's series. No NBA team has ever overcome a 3-0 postseason deficit. Golden State—which can become the first team to win the title without suffering a single postseason loss—has lost one of its past 31 games.

Oh yeah, the Warriors didn't have Kevin Durant last year. They now have Kevin Durant.

Instead of talking about that time Cleveland blew a six-point lead in the closing three minutes of Game 3, Twitter users eschewed reasonable discourse for overplayed jokes. 

Heading into Friday night's Game 4, FiveThirtyEight gives the Warriors a probability greater than 99 percent of winning the championship.
