Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

The NBA is a business. I really don't think the Warriors will tank it; however, I don't think the ownership will mind at all it actually goes 5 or 6 games.

The NBA and its partners lose money if Golden State sweeps Cleveland

How much would a sweep cost the Warriors? Try $22M

I'm too old to be a Pollyanna, and I know sports are big business, but I also notice fans don't break out the tinfoil hats when they're happy with the results. When I see fans put forth the notion that their favorite team winning was possibly the result of large scale collusion, I'll take these sorts of arguments more seriously.
