Playing 4 straight finals against each other will do it

Wouldn’t say we consider them rivals. Just bitches

Ebbs and flows, depending on when you ask it couldve also been the celtics, or detroit, or chicago

How many other teams have played each other 4+ times in a row in the finals?
Not a common thing

Feels weird calling them our rival when the rivalry isn’t even a decade old

The Cavs/Warriors rivalry ended long ago.

In the long run they won’t be considered our rivals but I guess meeting them four years in a row in the finals is a big deal. Funny that we see them as a rival but they don’t see us that way.

Absolutely. Never forget.

Before yes now no. A true rivalry needs arrows going in both directions.

Is Washington it’s own rival😄

Not really. Obviously I hated them during 2015-2018 but then after KD left, I don’t consider them a rival at all. I still love watching Steph and Klay

I don’t know about rival but I wish nothing but bad things happen to them.

I don’t. Rivalries in the NBA these days are far more player based. Even from just 5 years ago Cedi is the only player still on the team and a bunch of players from 2018 aren’t even in the league anymore. If the Cavs somehow met the Warriors in the finals again then yeah, rivalry reignited. But when they meet in the regular season it’s just another game.

I remember when detroit was our main enemy

Honestly I root for them now. Kinda like the ex you had a healthy breakup with and you genuinely wish the best for

We don’t really have a rival in the traditional sense. It just depends on who else has been good when we have been good.
That being said, fuck the Warriors

Fuck the Celtics first and foremost.
But Celtics, Bulls, Heat and then Warriors

I don’t think we have a true rival, definitely not the way the guardians have the white Sox or the browns have the Steelers

When Lebron was here, but not now. It was a different era.

For me it’s the Celtics, we’ve had the most series against them, it’s been evenly matched and we’ve met them at least once in every decade we’ve been a franchise except the 20’s and we have 6 more years to get a series in. I believe the Bulls are our second most played team and they basically one every time they had Jordan and we’ve won every time we had Lebron.
