Warriors owner Joe Lacob still thinks they ‘were the better team’ last year, wants Cavaliers again this year

Joe Lacob has all the humility of a man with $400 million. Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob infamously said, "We're light-years ahead of probably every other team," roughly two months before his franchise blew a 3-1 lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals. Following his team's sweep of the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, Lacob made clear his preference to face the Cavs in a Finals three-match, while maintaining the Warriors "were the better team," despite relinquishing the title in a Game 7 at home, per San Jose Mercury News columnist Marcus Thompson.
