First of all, I am so sorry for the release of today's article five years too late. I was going through my blog posts today, and I found that I did not post the 2018 NBA Finals television schedule and announcers during the actual 2018 NBA Finals itself.

And thanks to a reader on my blog, I have now recognized this and today, I am releasing the article regarding the 2018 NBA Finals. Again, I sincerely apologize for not posting this for nearly five years.

The 2018 NBA Finals features LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. For the fourth straight year, these teams will once battle for an NBA championship. Curry's Warriors have won two of the first three NBA Finals meetings between these teams (2015 & 2017). James' Cavaliers won the championship over the Warriors in 2016.

The 2018 NBA Finals began on Thursday, May 31, as the Cavaliers traveled to Oracle Arena to face the Warriors in the opening game of the series. All games of the Cavaliers-Warriors NBA Finals will exclusively air on the ABC television network. 

Mike Breen (play-by-play), Jeff Van Gundy (analyst), Mark Jackson (analyst) and Doris Burke (reporter) serve as the commentary team for the 2018 NBA Finals. The 2018 Finals marks Breen's 13th calling play-by-play, Van Gundy's 12th serving as an analyst, Jackson's 9th serving as an analyst & Burke's 10th serving as a sideline reporter.
