Who has the most to lose in Game 7 of NBA Finals?

The Cavaliers and Warriors enter Game 7 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena on Sunday with everything to gain.

For Golden State, it’s a chance for the greatest season in NBA history. For Cleveland, it’s a chance to win the city's first pro sports championship since 1964. There's everything to gain. There's also everything to lose, especially for some of the personalities involved in this year's Finals.

Here's a look at the 15 people (one object included) with the most to lose in Game 7.

Blatt admitted that he can’t watch the Finals, and with good reason. The Cavs fired him with a 30-11 record, and now they might win the championship.

Do you think Blatt is secretly rooting for the Warriors?

He’s averaging 27.3 points per game in the Finals, and you can make the argument he’s been the second-best player on the floor behind LeBron James.

If anything, Irving has a chance to gain "best point guard in the league" status here.

They have nothing to gain. The losing team’s fans — and possibly players and coaches — will blame the officiating if they lose.

They can’t escape those four dreaded words: "The NBA is rigged." They stand to lose no matter what.

Ezeli was a non-factor in Game 6 with four points and a -17 plus/minus rating. The Cavaliers owned the paint, and somebody for the Warriors needs to step up with Andrew Bogut out.

Can Golden State count on Ezeli?

Lue’s job appears to be safe, but it’s worth noting he would be the fourth coach to lose in the NBA Finals with LeBron James.

Still, Cleveland should stick with Lue for next season no matter what.

Stephen Curry’s mouthpiece likely peaked when he launched it after being ejected from Game 6, but people are actually willing to bid on these things.

How much money would you pay for a game-worn mouthpiece from Game 7? More than the one from Game 6? Did you gag reading those last two sentences? Please say "yes."

Smith is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he wants to come back to Cleveland. Smith has scored just 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting in the three Finals games at Oracle Arena.

He could make a lot of money with a big game — one of those J.R. specials —  but he could also lose a lot with a clunker.

Kerr already has five rings as a player and one as a coach, so there’s not much more for him to win.

He will face fewer questions about his health if the Warriors win here, but if they lose, the fact that Luke Walton went 39-4 in Kerr’s place this season will be brought up more than it needs to.

Curry blamed the officiating after the Game 6 loss (she was wrong) and had a back-and-forth with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith on Friday (she was right).

If Golden State loses, then Curry will be pegged as a distraction. Watch Twitter get ridiculous with that. It’s unavoidable at this point.

Barnes turned down a four-year, $64 million deal from the Warriors last season, and that might prove costly.

He’s been a non-factor in the last two Golden State losses — shooting 2 of 22 from the floor and 1 of 11 from 3-point range. Barnes' shooting struggles will be a hot topic all summer if the Warriors lose Game 7.

Is this too low? James, for once, is in a great spot.

After leading the Cavs’ back with consecutive 41-point games, James has Cleveland on the cusp of its first pro sports championship since 1964. Win, and James might get the biggest statue ever made. Lose, and it’s just another Finals loss. James could win NBA Finals MVP even if he loses.

Unless James totally flops in Game 7, that’s a feasible scenario.

Thompson called out LeBron James by saying it’s a "man’s league," and James has responded like a monster.

Thompson averaged just 12 points per game in the first three games, but he’s picked it up with 29 points per game in the last three. Thompson could score 40 in Game 7, but if the Cavaliers win, he’ll be blamed for coming at the King and missing.

Cleveland needs a scapegoat if they lose, and Love is the presumed winner if that happens.

He suffered a concussion in these Finals and has scored just 6.7 points per game since returning. The Cavs have seemingly played better when he’s not on the floor, and trade offers could be coming. Love might not be in Cleveland next year either way.

The two-time reigning MVP lost his cool in Game 6. If the Warriors can’t close the deal and put the finishing touch on the greatest season in NBA history, then that falls on the best player.

That means Curry, who has battled foul trouble and struggled in the first three games, will take the hit. Same goes for the Curry vs. LeBron debate, if that’s still a debate. Curry can erase all that with a big Game 7.

If the Warriors lose, then most of the blame will fall on Green, who was suspended for Game 5 for swiping LeBron James in the groin. Golden State led 3-1 at that point and Green, who has emerged as the heel of the NBA playoffs, made a bad decision.

Green had 22 points per game in Games 1-2. He’s had 7.7 points per game in three games since. He’s the X-factor for the Warriors, and the player with the most on the line here.
