Check Down Roundtable: Predictions for Game 7
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.
Game 7 Preview: I’m Confident in the Cavs
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.
My Game 6 Reaction
I’d like to start off talking about LeBron James. I’m not too man enough to admit that I was wrong in my LeBron Can’t Take Over Games Like He Used To article. But LeBron has absolutely dominated these past couple of games; and I mean dominated to the highest degree.
Don’t Get Ahead of Yourself, Warriors Will Win in 6
Game 5 got a lot of people talking. Those who thought the series was over have now done a complete 180 and find themselves saying that Cleveland has a legitimate shot to win it all.

Yet if you told me the Cavaliers would win by thirty points, I would’ve said you’re dreaming. You could tell it was…
Ranking the Best Games in the NBA Finals since 2000
With Game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals set to tip-off in a little under 24 hours, I have been feeling reminiscent. I mean, how can you not love the NBA Finals? For me, it’s chill city before the game even starts once the ABC introduction begins. And I know the NBA playoffs has its critics, but I mentioned yesterday how the NBA Finals is as epic as any sporting…
NBA Finals: Complete Preview and Predictions for Cavaliers vs Warriors
I’ve heard a lot of people knock the NBA, saying that its postseason is inferior to both the NFL and NHL playoffs. There is some validity to that sentiment, particularly given how anticlimactic the first and second rounds usually are in basketball. But admit this: at its best, when two heavyweights like the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers meet in the Finals, the NBA is absolutely epic. Just look…
