One week, Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani are splitting up, yesterday she's suddenly pregnant with his kid and they're getting married? See the same stupid shit with Kardashian/Thompson. Whatever happened to the good old days when the part boy/part bat was the main headline?
Bat Boy was too good for this world, so he departed and left us the Kardashians. Humanity lost.

Yeah, I think most of the cases are trumped up and not nearly as "mysterious" as calling it a curse would make it out to be.

Any predictions for tonight and the series? I want more titles, but I have to say I am much more calm than I was last year. That will probably change once the game starts, but I can't imagine how much anxiety would come out of this game and series if the Cavs didn't pull it off last year. Round 3, let's go!

I don't know what the hell to think. I don't think the Cavs can allow GS 3 big shooters to all go 23+, or 2 of them go 30+ or any 1 of them to go 40+.....while Cavs will need 2 of their big 3 playing well to win.

I'd love to see Cleveland win but I want it to happen in Cleveland. Being optimistic I'm going with Cavs in 6.

I am in a glass case of emotions. I have no idea what to expect or how to feel. I am nervous/excited, but then again I am content because the Cavs are already World Champions. I feel better that I did last year, but they added KD, so why would I feel better than I did last year?? I DON'T KNOW.

Cavs in 6.

I like the Cavs tonight, and as ***** as it sounds, I'm not making any predictions in this series until I see how this game plays out.

As for second point, the title for Cleveland last year eases any nerves. This year isn't even about a curse, it's more cause I want LeBron to pass Jordan. Yes, I'll live and die by every shot...but when it's over and if Cavs win, it will be more gloating whereas last year was 100% joy and relief.

Cavs one game 1. Media blames the lay off.
Warriors blow out win in Game 2. Media claims series is over.
Cavs win 3 and 4. Media blames officiating.
Warriors win game 5. Media narrative becomes 3-1 reversal.
Cavs win game 6. Media claims warriors injuries.

Cavs in 5 or 6. Call me crazy, but I just don't have much fear in this warriors team. Their bench always killed us. They don't have that anymore. I'll take our big 3 (especially with how well love is playing) vs their big 4.

GO CAVS!!

I was watching the game 1 highlights last year, it is absolutely crazy how much Barnes/bogut/ Livingston and barbosa killed us that game. 3 out of the 4 are gone and lue finally realized to stop putting a smaller guy on Livingston and he didn't do shit the rest of the series. I feel good about this series but also kinda nervous. I just hope klay continues to slump

I'll be optimistic and say Cavs in 6, but not confident like some of you guys.

I flip and flop, but in my heart I think Cleveland loses. KD is too much firepower, GSW in 5.

I mean, they still have Livingston, who had a big game last year.

I will say that Bogut was a better rim protector than they have this year, though.

Cavs miss any shot and it feels like an automatic score for GSW.
