Man, what a game tonight for the Warriors against Oklahoma City in the final Game #7 of the series. They were down for pretty much the entire first half, as much as by 15-pts! But then they came through in the clutch to take the game and to come back from a 1-3 deficit to win the series 4-3. So awesome! Curry and Klay were just spectacular. Just an unbelievably gutsy performance by the Warriors. Bravo!

Going into the finals, I find myself conflicted. I have no major stake in either city playing for it, but I do have stakes in the storylines.

For Golden State, there's the storyline of their dominance, a regular season for history and overcoming some serious fights in the playoffs. On the other hand with Cleveland, I can't help but want to root for a city that has been so spurned by success for...well pretty much ever. They had an easier ride through the playoffs, but I feel they are the underdogs for this.

So I gotta go with my heart on this, and I love underdogs and want Cleveland to rise up at last, so I'm rooting for the Cavs.

The Cavaliers may be underdogs, but I don't think they are underdogs by much. They are healthy and vastly improved this year compared to last, with both of their All-Stars (Kyrie and Love) back. It's going to be a fun and competitive series, that's for sure.

BTW, anyone noticed that Bernie Sanders was at the Game #7?

Well, history isn't on the side of Cleveland as they lost to the Roundheads in their last major engagement.

I think this is the Warriors series to lose.

Not a Lebron fan, but I hope they can win it all for the East.

Cleveland is certainly due for a championship and this might be their best chance this year. But Curry and the Warriors are just sooooo good.....

Well, what a wild NBA final it has been so far. Can Cleveland keep the momentum and make history?
