CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland is known for some annoying things in June. There are the orange construction barrels, the midges that cover everything, and the weather that doesn't know if wants to be spring or summer.

Cavs fans can add the Warriors to that list of annoying things this time of year. Are they counting the days until the plane ride back to Oakland? Nope. The Warriors are quite comfortable here.

"Yeah, it's probably like a second home," said Klay Thompson. "So much basketball has been played here. Besides Oracle (Arena), this is probably where I've played the most NBA games."

Well, not quite. The Warriors play the Lakers and Clippers at Staples Center about five times each season. But in the playoffs, the Warriors have played eight games in Cleveland over the last three years, and they're guaranteed at least two more Wednesday and Friday.

If you're lucky, maybe Thompson will show you around some time.

"From the locker room to the hotel, to the surrounding downtown area, I'm pretty familiar with Cleveland," said Thompson. "So there is definitely a comfort level."

He's not kidding about the comfort level.

The Cavaliers are 35-7 at Quicken Loans Arena in the playoffs over the last four seasons. Four of those losses have come against the Warriors. In the Finals, the Cavs and Warriors have split the eight games in Cleveland.

"I mean, it feels like the Finals," said Stephen Curry. "Like I said, this is a road atmosphere. In the Finals, this is the only building I know what that experience is like. We know how the atmosphere is here. We know how Cleveland plays here, with a lot of energy and force."

The games in Cleveland haven't exactly been classics. The closest margins of victory have been five points (twice) and four games have been won by double digits, with three by at least 21 points.

Still, the Warriors are expecting the Cavaliers' best shot the next two games.

"This team has been playing great here in the postseason. They always shoot better at home, so you've got to expect that," said Thompson. "I expect their crowd to give them energy. The Cleveland fans are very passionate, not just for the Cavs, but for all their respective professional teams.

"We've got a history -- not a great history of Game 3s here. Last year was different. We had a great game. Kevin (Durant) made an iconic shot. But the other two times have not been good for us. So we want to change that."

A change would be huge. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the NBA Finals, something the Cavaliers helped prove last year.

"We understand how hard it is to win in this building. No matter what's gone on in the series, when you change venues, you've got to reassert your dominance and try to find that right momentum to start," said Curry. "We have a great opportunity tomorrow to do that."
