It's been different on First Take with John Salley and Will Cain moderated by Cassidy Hubarth this week. I enjoyed Mr. Salley's take on all things NBA with the trades and other news. Phil Jackson fired! Unbelievable! Chris Paul in Houston. Incredible!

Are You Happy Now?

NBA

The Warriors did not sweep, and you would think the sports media would be sad. No, they are happy. It seemed they wanted a sweep, and to listen to the sportscasters this morning, they were ecstatic that the Cavaliers outdueled and outplayed the Warriors last night. I honestly forgot to pick the game yesterday and remembered once it had started. I would have picked the Cavaliers. On Monday, I hope to see Steph Curry and Kevin Durant rejoicing and hoisting that trophy. Enough of LBJ chasing MJ. Some ghosts are not meant to be exorcised. @DanLeBatard, I am feeling disgruntled like Papi this morning.
