So who has predicted theCavs to win (nationally)? It seems it’s all like ESPN’s 5 on 5… consensus of Dubs in 5.
Barkley picked the Cavs on TNT (I think after Game 5 of Celtics series). Shaq then switched his pick from Warriors to Cavs. Haven’t really heard anyone else picking Cavs. I’m surprised how much the Cavs are being written off/given no chance in the media.
Which is fine with me – let everyone anoint the Dubs prematurely. I think it’s going to be a great series. I cannot WAIT for Thursday.
WELCOME ABOARD MARKG —-YEAH THAT IS 1 TRIVIA QUESTION I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN CORRECT —-HIS FATHER ALSO PLAYED IN THE NBA
pickin’ up “Good Vibrations” for the final, Sir NOMAD!
Hey CTBers, I’ve been a longtime reader, but this is my first time commenting. Since you’re doing Cavs trivia, did you know that Kevin Love is the nephew of the Beach Boys’ Mike Love? His father, if memory serves, was Brian Wilson’s trainer and security guard in the 70s. I’m a bit of a musician myself, so I thought that was a pretty rad fact. Anyhow: love the blog and Cavs in 6!
