The Golden State Warriors are not listed by oddsmakers as favorites to win the 2016 NBA Championship, which Stephen Curry finds "funny."

The Cleveland Cavaliers are listed as favorites at 11-4, while the Warriors and San Antonio Spurs are tied for second at 9-2.

"We obviously are the champs, and you've got to think that we're gonna be a better team next year with our experiences that we've had, and we're not the favorites," Curry said. "Obviously there's been a lot of noise, teams retooling and trying to boost their lineups. You have teams that haven't set foot on the floor yet and are heavily favored to kick us off our throne."

Cleveland of course has an easier path to The Finals in the Eastern Conference and took the Warriors to six games without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.

"We obviously know what's going on," Curry said. "And it's up to us to keep our momentum that we built."
