Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

I don't know...I'm getting a pretty good feeling about tomorrow. The Cavs, despite the aforementioned streaks of futility, how almost zero pressure on them since the media and others have already said what a great comeback they've made after being down 3-1. They've only the third team to even force a game seven after being down 3-1 in the Finals (of course, the other two went 0-2). The Warriors, on the other hand, have absolutely all the pressure on them to win. They're at home, had the record 73-9 regular season, came back from the grave against OKC (coincidently down 3-1), and were up 3-1 in the Finals against a team from the city that never, ever, wins titles. If the Cav do indeed win tomorrow, the Warriors' collapse in the Finals will be absolutely Biblical in the eyes both the media and the fans. If the Cavs say, "Fuck it", and go balls-out for 48 minutes, I like their chances--a lot--especially if LeBron goes off like he has in games 5 and 6.

I really want the Cavs to win. I do. I hear what you're saying and I believe it. THAT, my friend, is how these assholes get you.

Not to add any more to it, but LBJ has a chance to do two things tonight that even Jordan never did - come back from 3-1 to win the Finals, and beat the team with the best record in NBA history. If he puts up another 40 in the process...wow. Of course, if the Cavs lose his outstanding performance will just be poo-pooed by the haters.

No pressure at all, LBJ.
