interesting game 1 of the nba finals. its the golden state warriors v. the cleveland cavaliers for all of you not paying attention. lebron james is carrying his team with 39 points with 4 minutes remaining but his team is down 1. golden state is just so much deeper especially as clevelands third best scorer is out for the series. golden state can go 10 deep while cleveland at best has 8 although 6 have had the majority of minutes. and the 11th guy on the warriors bench was an all-star two years ago. so even if lebron wills them to victory over a game or two it just doesnt look like they can win over the course of a seven game series.

cleveland had a chance to win it in regulation but lebron settled on an off balanced long jumper rather than posting up which he had been successful doing most of the night. havent scored in the first three minutes of overtime.

game tied again for the last play of the 4th quarter with the ball in clevelands possession and this time lebron drives to the basket, takes on three defenders and the misses the difficult but very makeable lay up. this after blowing an 11 point lead with 3 minutes remaining.

now they will lose in ot. today thats called a "djokovic" who did not so much blow the french open this morning as let it slip away.

Maybe it's going to be a series after all. I thought for sure they would blow it in OT too.

it was an entertaining game with some pretty wretched shooting. i dont know how much to chalk that up to defense. there was a game of thrones sized hole in the middle, too, so i cut one boring hour out of it. (spoiler expunged.) but it was the lowest shooting percentage (32%) for a win in a finals game ever (i think) and mvp curry for golden state shot an abysmal 5 for 23.

seems like a fair outcome given the closeness of the two games and certainly makes for more interesting viewing. i still cant get over that late non-call when lebron got hacked right in front of the ref. i cant possibly imagine what the ref was looking at. it could not have been more clear-cut.

Warriors pull even. Lebron pulls it out on national TV.

i saw the headline but i didnt click through. i guess that one was for all the wives that have to suffer through two months of playoff basketball. although i think the bachelor(ette) is compensation enough.
