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.
