Kendrick Perkins claimed the Cleveland Cavaliers wanted to face the Golden State Warriors and not the Houston Rockets in the 2015 NBA Finals.
For his part, Perkins said he wanted to play the Rockets. The Warriors defeated the Cavs 4-2 and won the title.
“When we were watching the Western Conference Finals, I was like, ‘Man, I want to play the Rockets. I think we’ll sweep the Rockets. I really don’t want to play Golden State.’
But everyone in the Cavs organization kept saying, ‘No, we want Golden State.’ And I kept saying, ‘Nah, there’s something about this team, man. I’m telling y’all, I don’t really want to play them,'” Perkins told the Runnin’ Plays podcast, via Orel Dizon of Cavaliers Nation.
