Whether the Cleveland Cavaliers win their first-ever NBA championship will be more dependent on their play rather than their opponent, according to head coach Tyronn Lue.
Lue, speaking publicly for the first time since Cleveland defeated the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday, acknowledged Monday that the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder each present different challenges.

Definitely about us. But they're two tough teams. You have Oklahoma, [Russell] Westbrook and [Kevin] Durant -- a different guard. Then you have [Stephen] Curry, Draymond [Green] and Klay [Thompson] -- a different guard. It's big on who you are playing as far as personnel, things you have to be locked in on, things you have to take away, things we can't give up.
