				I could see the Cavs winning the next two
Called it.
I know I've been harsh on Curry, but he finally showed up in a big game. He also impressed me by apologizing to those fans at the end he hit with his mouthpiece. The problem is that without Bogut, Green is being asked to do too much down low. 
It also hurt everyone that the NBA refs decided to remind everyone they exist tonight. 
Meanwhile, the real MVP and best player on Earth, LeBron James, decided he was taking over the series. 
Cleveland has a puncher's chance, and end of the day, that's all they wanted. For Stranger and my brother-in-law I hope they pull it off. (Funny side note: My brother-in-law was supposed to be flying back home from a wedding Sunday night. He's now going to spend whatever he has to spend to fly home early so he can watch the game.)

Fantastic article written before last nights game 6 by Richard Jefferson.
I don’t care if you’re a LeBron “fan,” or not, I have seen it: Bron has something I’ve never seen. The way he says “follow me and I’ll take you there” with actions, more than words, is like no one else I’ve ever played with. He’s the kind of leader who makes you want to carry the weight too. I feel indebted to him. We all do.

I called up GS and told them to put on the brakes.  Don't say I never got you a Christmas present.  Called in my last favour last night.  You're on your own.

Hit fans, not other players, and DEFINITELY not officials.
Got it.

Exactly, it's insane. 
And despite Curry not being suspended for hitting a fan, his wife thinks the NBA is fixed and went public with her feelings...
More on Ayesha...
Ayesha Curry briefly transformed into the Seymour Hersh of the NBA on Thursday night. She claimed they didn’t let her cousin into a Cleveland casino because he was wearing Dubs gear. They made the Warriors family bus wait outside the game until almost tipoff. And they tossed Steph at the end of Game 6 because they wanted a Game 7. Who are they? [*cough* TheDisneyNBAAntiGameofThronesLobby *cough*] EXACTLY. Ayesha deleted the rigged-league tweet shortly after posting it, and then alleged that her frustration came from police racially profiling her father at the game.

				Oh sure.. this "FIXED" NBA is the same league that "fixed" your husband to win the MVP twice and make you and your husband a cool $100 Million and an NBA Championship.
Shut the fuck up you stupid whore!
That's a bad look Curry, get your wife off social media.

				Love sucking in the Finals might work out in the Celtics' favor.
I think Brad Stevens would get more out of Love than Lue. (No offense to Lue.)
I was also wondering if Cleveland's performance, even if they don't win on Sunday, has altered Durant's thinking on free agency?

Shame they couldn't play Cleveland every year, instead of just that one.

				Quite the run thus far.  GS is wearing out in the middle of the game again.
EDIT: Damn, that lead came and went like Cleveland's hopes of a championship.

Congrats Stranger! Everyone deserves to celebrate a title at least once.

				Cavs used motivation from Major League to win.
Because you can't make this stuff up, the Cavs apparently took a page from Major League, a movie about the Cleveland Indians, and used it to help motivate them to the title.

				Awesome.  Better than the trophy they wheeled into the Indians' clubhouse, then had to wheel out, back in the 90s.
Congrats, Stranger!

				By the way.. I called it!
Cavs in 7.. on the road.
Still feeling euphoric this morning!  
Now people can start calling San Diego the city of losers, they are a combined 109 years of futility.  Still doesn't compare to the 146 that Cleveland suffered through, but that is over!
