The Warriors have been defeated.

The Warriors did not get the 'Three-peat' they had hoped for.

As a Cavs fan I'm pretty happy, aside from the injuries suffered by two of the greatest shooters in the league, of course.  I'm a fan of the sport of Basketball in general and while I support my favorite teams, I really enjoy watching a good, competitive contest rather than a blow-out or one-sided victory.  Could the series have ended another way had KD been healthy?  Sure.  Had Klay not gone down in Game 6?  Probably.  Those will be factors to reflect on for those that were not thrilled with the outcome of Game 6, but in the end, the Toronto Raptors are the NBA Champions and that's what the History books will show.  Injuries are a part of the game, just look at the Western Conference finals from the 2018 season... would the Warriors have beaten the Rockets to advance if CP3 didn't have to sit those last games?  We will never know.

I do hope for a full, speedy recovery for Klay and KD... and not just so I can 'Love to Hate' them for being as good as they are, but because whether you like them or not, they bring another level of excitement to the game when they are on the floor.

Congrats to our neighbors to THE NORTH for bringing home their first NBA Championship for not only the Franchise, but for ANY COUNTRY outside the USA.  Also, we can never let 'The North' forget that 'The North Coast' is the team that showed that the Warriors could be beaten.   Now bring on The Draft!!!

The NBA Draft Lottery Results

Fresh off the announcement of a new Head Coach for the North Coast, Tuesday nights NBA Draft Lottery brought just a little more disappointment to hopeful CAVS fans like myself, as we got the Number Five overall pick at the upcoming NBA Draft in June... Which means a very slim chance at Zion, let alone one of the other much hyped top prospects.  Number Five isn't all that bad, but it would be better for me if it wasn't for a couple other moments: First, Kyle Kuzma (in his "Lucky" purple jacket) and LeBron's Lakers getting to pick at Number 4... Really?! And then Former GM David Griffin, now a VP with the New Orleans Pelicans, was the man that was handed the 'Golden Ticket' to Zion with the Number One pick.  At least we aren't the Knicks.
