After playing against each other in the last two NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors have developed a bit of a rivalry. And while it may be harsh to say that the two teams hate each other, the Warriors and Cavs definitely aren’t the best of friends. So much so that Cleveland’s disdain for Golden State can even be seen in their choice for warmup music.
On Saturday, before winning Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, the Cavs’ game operations team played Drake’s “Free Smoke” during warmups. But the song was slightly edited: Drake‘s mention of Oracle — as in Oracle Arena, home of the Warriors — was muted.

A tad bit petty, but also quite hilarious — and gives a glimpse at just how intense the rivalry is between the Warriors and Cavs.
