The Cubs could pull it off and beat the Giants.

It could be a test for the police of that city who will need it for the GOP convention.

Second eastern city winning a championship in a week. Last week Pittsburgh won the NHL Championship.

I think James is home for good in Ohio. He has kids and wants them raised in that state. The fate of Golden State was sealed when Curry got hurt a few weeks back.

The difference between Jordan and LeBron is “the Will to Win.” Certain players: Jordan, Magic & Bird were all willing to do the little things that won ball-games. We’ve all seen LeBron go into a disappearing act when his shot isn’t dropping and the defense has him blanketed.

Oakland loses. Gertrude Stein said of it there is no there there. I guess that applied to the Warriors last night.

“Warriors lost as many post-season games as regular season games.”

That’s what happens when you play only the best teams night after night.

Lakers have been on both sides of it that’s for sure!

What happened to the Warriors was the loss of Andrew Bogut when he was injured in Game 5 and Andre Iguodala hobbled with back problems. As such, the Warriors lost their best talented “bigs” and as such, had no chance against the physical presence of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson, which essentially wore out the Warriors in Games 5 to 7.

Probably.

If Donagny was involved, you can bet (pun intended) on it.

And they questioned LeBron's manhood. How stupid is it to poke the bear. After making fun of LeBron, he went off for 41, 41, and 27. He lead both teams in all major statistical categories: Points, Rebounds, Blocks, Assists, and Steals.

Warriors handled Cavs easily in the Regular Season. They played 3 times, Cleveland winning one. Last game was a Warrior 34 point blow out in Cleveland. It helps to have players healthy.

It does help to have everybody healthy. Cleveland would have beat them last year in the finals if healthy.

A big thing that hurt the Warriors was Andre Iguodala's back issues in Games 5 and 6. As such, LeBron James suddenly played REALLY hot, and that, plus Andrew Bogut's absence, finally wore down the Warriors.

They took it to seven games against OK as well, but it is *supposed* to be close at that level, otherwise, it’s a joke.
