I’m still reeling off last night’s unbelievable Game 7. I’ll have plenty to say about that game- don’t worry. But for now, I can’t help to think about how awesome this NBA season was.
For basketball fans, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will not only look to become the first team in NBA Finals history to come back from a 3-1 hole, but they will hope to end the city of Cleveland’s decades-long title drought.
I love the term “stranger things have happened.” I use it often, particularly when I think a team has a chance to come back even though they are down by a seemingly insurmountable amount of a points or when a deficit in a playoff series seems to be too large to overcome.

After two dismal showings in Golden State, the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back in Game 3 with a resounding win. I can’t say I was really surprised by this outcome even though I did think the Warriors were going to win Game 3 because I was very hesitant about that prediction. Yet if you told me the Cavaliers would win by thirty points, I would’ve said you’re dreaming. You could tell it was…
Ticket prices for Thursday’s Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Pittsburgh are skyrocketing. There’s a simple reason why: the Penguins have an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup at home for the first time in franchise history.
