TORONTO - Dynasty versus dinosaurs.

Ang paglalakbay ng Golden State Warriors sa kanilang pang-limang sunod na NBA Finals ay binago para sa bagong destinasyon at nanga-ngailangan ito ng passport.

Tuluyan nang nakapasok ang Raptors, na-ging miyembro ng NBA 24 taon na ang nakararaan gamit ang dinosaur-logo para sa prangkisa, sa isang ‘hockey-loving country’, sa championship round at iho-host ang Game One.

Ito ang unang pagkaka-taon na gagawin ang NBA Finals sa labas ng U.S., isang magandang pagbabago matapos ang record na apat na sunod na seasons ng parehong matchup.

“Different for us obviously, having been in Cleveland four straight years, but this is more the rule. That was the exception,” sabi ni Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “You’re not supposed to go to the finals four straight years and you’re definitely not, if you’re lucky enough to do that, you’re not supposed to play the same team four straight years.”

“This is more what the finals normally feel like, where you’re going against a team you frankly don’t know that well and that you haven’t seen that often over the previous few years,” dagdag pa nito.

Tumira si Stephen Curry sa Toronto nang maglaro ang kanyang amang si Dell para sa Raptors sa pagtatapos ng kanyang career.

Ngunit maliban dito ay lahat ay bago para sa Warriors, ang may pinakamaraming championship experience sa NBA history.

Natapatan nila ang Boston Celtics team noong 1957-66 bilang tanging tropang naglaro sa NBA Finals ng limang sunod na season.

Hangad din ng Warriors na maduplika ang ‘three-peat’ ng Los Angeles Lakers noong 2000-02.

Hindi rin magla-laro si Kevin Durant sa Game One.
