The Warriors Land the First Punch - Game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals tipped off like last year's Finals ended — with a Golden State Warriors' win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry and his Splash Brother brethren, Klay Thompson, only combining for 20 points on 8-of-27 shooting, the Warriors got a big lift from their bench en route to a 104-89 victory. With it came plenty of reactions, which BET.com took liberty to compile from ballers, celebs, artists, fans and the media. Are we looking at a Warriors' repeat?(Photo: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

Stephen A. Smith - Yes, the Warriors' reserve guard coming off the bench to drop a team-high 20 points shows you how deep Dub Nation's squad is. (Photo: Stephen A. Smith via Twitter)

Omar Kelly - Hey, if an NBA-record 73 wins during the regular season wasn't enough to convince people, would a back-to-back championship do it?(Photo: Omar Kelly via Twitter)

Fan - Good one. Stephen Curry, of course, rocks the interlocking U and A over the Nike Swoosh. Maybe you should, too.(Photo: Victoria via Twitter)

Rockie Fresh - That's definitely how it's looking. But can LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers push the Golden State Warriors to the limit? These NBA Finals are still young.(Photo: Rockie Fresh via Twitter)

Fan - No chill whatsoever. Remember, LeBron James's teammates Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were injured and missed last year's NBA Finals. They're healthy now and playing, though, so no excuses. (Photo: Jason via Twitter)
