The NFL and NBA thread

It's not over until its over and we will see how the Rockets respond tonight and what Cleveland does at home. My initial impression is that the Warriors are through screwing around and ready to show Houston how champions play. But the Dubs have been losing focus off and on all year. If I had to read LeBron's mood in the press meeting last night, I would say he knows he's beaten.

J R Smith did his best Matt Barnes thug impersonation last night. He's been killing the Cavs with his crummy offense and weak defense for two years. All he has left his his weak tough guy act. The inner Knick will come out.

Let us remember that Cleveland ranked 29th out of 30 teams during the regular season. They have been improved by a healthy Tristan Thompson and the addition of Larry Nance, Jr and George Hill. Give this team a year to jell and the addition of the #8 pick and they will be a factor next year.

Let us not forget that the Celtics were the #1 defensive team in the league this year. Brad Stevens continues to impress as does Danny Ainge as a talent evaluator.

And in other news, the SCOTUS just fixed the NFL's declining TV ratings. They have also raised the pay of all game officials because the weak link in preventing game fixing is underpaid officials. We will call this Tim Donaghy's revenge.
