It’s the rematch: the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors will face off again in the 2016 NBA Finals. If you’ve seen a few polls and predictions early on, you’ve seen that the Cavs are major underdogs in this series.
If you ask LeBron James, however, none of that matters to him as the Cavs are extremely confident going into this series.

LeBron on CLE underdogs: "Not my concern. I don’t get involved in all of that – underdog, overdog, whatever the case may be. It’s stupidity"

According to Odds Shark, Golden State will start out as 5-11 favorites to win the series while Cleveland begins at 9-5 odds, clearly the underdogs.
“We’re better-built to start the Finals than we were last year,” James said. “That’s not a headline, that’s obvious.”
The Cavs, however, now have Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love along with a better equipped bench that features seasoned-veterans Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson.
