The Wine and Gold will be squaring off against NBA Champion Golden State in Oakland for Christmas Day, and the Cavaliers will have a little extra motivation to go against the team that defeated them in the NBA Finals last June.
Greg Swartz from the Bleacher Report joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about the contest.
He thinks LeBron will have a little extra juice himself for the Warriors, given their history and how they fought hard against each other in the Finals.
"You're not going to forget that (as a player), especially when you take winning so seriously as LeBron does," Swartz says.
"These guys were celebrating on your home floor, spraying champagne bottles just down the hall from you."
Aside from the Christmas Day game, one of the key elements for the Cavs is the depth at point guard with Kyrie Irving, Matthew Dellavedova, and Mo Williams.
"He (Dellavedova) has been that good, he's earned it, and he's been more agressive," Swartz says.
