Let the Auggie Finals begin!!

The Warriors just took down Houston. Here we go!

The key matchup... what's-his-face who used to be on the Heat against... ... our coach, Steve Kerr. You can't stop him, but you can slow him down. And the rest of our team beats the rest of their team. If we can stop him from taking it over, we win this thing in 5!!

Sorry, Cleveland. Maybe next year. And there's always the Browns!

1. It's like the Bay Bridge series to me

Happy both cities made it it to the finals. You can imagine what a championship would mean to Cleveland after a 51 year drought. Though with Oakland on the verge of losing the Warriors AND Raiders AND maybe even the A's it would be a wonderful, final hurrah for that city and the East Bay.

Though not a basketball fan (not since the 1970s with Bill Fitch's Cavs), I will watch this series. But I haven't a clue what to root for. On second thought I do -- how about a nice, clean game?

I might like Cleveland's chances better if Kevin Love hadn't been intentionally mauled by that Celtics' cheap-shot motherfucker douchebag Kelly Olynyk. Put that asshole on the same shit list as Scott Cousins and Warren Sapp, please.

2. Warren Sapp played hoops?

Hockey is so full of cheap-shot artists they have a name: "goons".

3. Guess I'm old school

Some of these basketball games resemble hockey

Warren Sapp laid a blind-side hit on the Packers' Chad Clifton, causing a pelvic injury and ending Clifton's 2002 season. Totally unwarranted -- it was after an interception and far away from play on the field.

After the game, when Packers coach Mike Sherman told Sapp that his play was uncalled for, Sapp began angrily shouting at Sherman in a tirade that was caught on camera, with Sapp famously screaming "put a jersey on".

4. Fun fact: Both teams' stars are from Akron

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Curry#Early_life

Curry was born in Akron, Ohio but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina where his father Dell played for the Charlotte Hornets. Curry's father often took him and his younger brother Seth to his games, where they would sometimes shoot around with his team during warm-ups. As a child, he attended a Montessori school that had been started by his mother, Sonya.

The difference is a) ours played college ball, and b) ours is the MVP. Since he left as a child, he wouldn't have had a chance to meet up with You-Know-Who in high school or street ball. Also, I did not know that his dad played in the NBA. The other Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, 's dad Mychal did, too!
