KEY GAME INFORMATION
CLEVELAND: Kyrie Irving has no timetable for a return after fracturing his kneecap in the Finals. He remained effective and productive alongside LeBron James, but Cleveland has to play it safe with him in the regular season . . . Despite the shaky Finals performance, Iman Shumpert got paid this offseason. He can defend, but he's a fifth option on offense and is out until January after undergoing wrist surgery . . . Mo Williams will alleviate some of Irving's point guard load, as his shooting makes him a nice fit alongside old pal LeBron . . . Unlikely postseason hero, Matthew Dellavedova figures to lose playing time but still has a place in the NBA as an energy guy . . . Joe Harris has some upside as a shooter, but will be buried on the bench. Look for LeBron James to take a little more time off than he has in past years, but he'll still be in the MVP conversation . . . They'll have to figure something out for Kevin Love, who was neither comfortable nor effective for most of last season . . . Newly-signed Tristan Thompson is more of a big body than anything else. He'll clear space around the basket for offensive boards, but he's not a rim protector and won't scare anyone offensively . . . Richard Jefferson figures to take on solid second-unit minutes. He still has something left in the tank . . . James Jones gives them another shooter to spread the floor, and absorbs any minutes that would have gone to Mike Miller . . . Rookie Sir'Dominic Pointer has no chance to make the rotation. Timofey Mozgov will often sit when opponents go small ball, but he has made strides as a capable defender and underrated scoring threat . . . Coming off a ruptured achilles, Anderson Varejao will likely fill a part-time role. Most guys have a rough time in their first season back from that injury.
GOLDEN STATE: Stephen Curry actually played a career low in minutes last season, as Kerr managed him to last through the playoffs. Obviously, it didn't keep him from running away with MVP honors . . . Klay Thompson has developed into a very good shooter. He has a quick release that, along with Golden State's ball movement, allows him to get shots off with ease . . . Swiss Army knife reserve Shaun Livingston will continue to see time at both guard spots, though he's more game manager than dynamic offensive threat . . . Veteran sixth man Leandro Barbosa returns to the champs as well, and is capable of the occasional outburst . . . Brandon Rush will play out the final year of his deal. It didn't take long for Kerr to realize what Draymond Green could do for this team on both ends of the floor, which is why the Warriors won a title last year. Not that there was any chance David Lee was going to siphon minutes short of a Mark Jackson hostile takeover of the coaching staff, but Lee's departure guarantees big minutes for Green . . . He had some great moments in the playoffs, but Harrison Barnes is more of a No. 4 option. He'll also play less than typical starter's minutes . . . Andre Iguodala will continue to come off the bench; his strengths are ball movement and defense . . . Rookie Kevon Looney is an active offensive rebounder who will play sparingly one he returns from hip surgery sometime after New Year's Day . . . Gerald Wallace's contract is what they had to take on to unload Lee, but they flipped him into Jason Thompson. Thompson is a solid big offensively, but probably won't see much playing time for this team. Andrew Bogut is an effective rim protector, but he'll continue to sit often when the Warriors go small ball . . . Marreese Speights is in and out of the rotation due to his strong offensive game and atrocious defense. He's essentially the new David Lee . . . Festus Ezeli plays a similar role to Bogut as a defensive presence with no offensive role.
PREVIEW
Cavaliers-Warriors Preview
By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Basketball Writer

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) LeBron versus Steph. King James versus the Baby-faced Assassin. Nike versus UnderArmour.

Any way you slice it, it's a dream matchup for the league in the NBA Finals. Again.

A second straight championship showdown between LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors puts the league's two brightest stars on its biggest stage.

It could also mark the beginnings of a new rivalry between the long-time face of the league and the shooting supernova threatening to supplant him.

''It's really annoying for me. That's not what I'm playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron's throne or whatever,'' Curry said Wednesday, one day before the Warriors host the Cavs in Game 1. ''You know, I'm trying to chase rings, and that's what I'm all about. So that's where the conversation stops for me.''

Curry got his first last year, at James' expense. And there have been subtle signs of a brewing rivalry ever since.

As the Curry hype was building during the Warriors' run to the title last season, James went out of his way to proclaim himself ''the best player on the planet'' during the finals. He played like it, too, averaging 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists while carrying a Cavs team missing Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love through six games in the series.

After Curry won his second MVP award this season in unanimous fashion - something no other player, including four-time winner James, had ever done - James offered a nuanced take on the achievement.

James said Curry's numbers were tremendous, ''but when you talk about most `valuable' then you can have a different conversation, so, take nothing away from him, he's definitely deserving of that award, for sure.''

On Wednesday, James expanded, saying ''Steph was definitely the MVP of our league.''

''You guys make rivals,'' James said. ''I think it's great for the sport. It's great for all sports. I don't think me and Steph, when you talk about rivalries, you talk about Carolina-Duke, you talk about Ohio State-Michigan. It's hard to say LeBron and Steph. If there's a smaller scale or another word for a rival.''

If not rivals, certainly peers at the top of the league's food chain. They've both changed the league in different ways.

''I don't think there's just a face in the NBA,'' Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. ''I think there are faces because it's such a star-driven league. ... But I think it might be easier for the common fan to relate to Steph because it's hard to be 6-8, 260 and have a 40-inch (vertical) and be the fastest guy on the floor.''

There are similarities between the locomotive and the lightning bolt.

They have reached the stratosphere within the league and global sporting conscience, have made their teammates better by virtue of their unparalleled skills and can take over a game in the blink of an eye. They also both were born in Akron, in the same hospital no less.

But there is not a lot of real estate to be sold on the common ground between James and Curry.

James has been a star since puberty, growing up with a single mother and under the glare created by the Sports Illustrated spotlight. No cover jinx there. He was the consensus No. 1 draft choice in 2004 and has fulfilled all of that promise and then some while asserting himself as the league's conscience with his willingness to speak boldly on social issues.

The limelight hasn't always been comfortable. James has been scrutinized as much as any athlete in his era, each tweet parsed for deeper meaning, each loss in the finals offered as a shortcoming.

''I think I've exceeded expectations in my life as a professional,'' James said. ''I'm a statistic that was supposed to go the other way, growing up in the inner city, having a single-parent household. It was just me and my mother. So everything I've done has been a success.''

Curry grew up in the affluence created by father Dell's 16-year NBA career with all the advantages but the size. He was overlooked by the power colleges and chosen seventh overall in 2010 because many scouts weren't sure if he would be big enough and quick enough to play in the league.

Now he has put an entire shoe company on the map, led the Warriors to a record 73 regular-season wins and has kids the world over mimicking the way he heads back up the court without watching his shot splash through the hoop.

''The casual fan might relate better to Steph because he doesn't have that athletic just God-given ability,'' Thompson said. ''It's tough to say. It's just personal preference, honestly.''

James and Curry made clear their preference is to focus on the game. They have little time right now for greatest-ever debates or marketing slogans.

Curry wants a second straight championship. James is trying to end Cleveland's 52-year championship drought.

''The fact that we're going back to back, I think, is pretty unique,'' James said. ''It's pretty unique to be in this position to have another opportunity for guys to write about, for us to play it, for the people to talk about it throughout the world. I'm blessed that I can be a part of conversations.''
