I picked the Warriors to win this series, and I still stand by that prediction, but part of me hopes that the series goes the distance. If the Warriors win tonight, that’s a wrap. Steph Curry and the Warriors’ revenge tour will be complete, and there won’t be a game on Sunday.
But, selfishly, I want to see a Game 7. Sunday is Father’s Day, and I would love nothing more than to come home from shooting a round of golf with my Dad and brothers to watch a winner-take-all Game 7 of these NBA Finals. I’m sure the entire city of Boston is with me on that one.
Besides my potential Sunday plans, the NBA Playoffs have been largely underwhelming, so I feel like it’s only fair that we get a Game 7 to decide who wins it all and hoists the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Anyways, we shall see.

A big, switchy roster propelled Boston to the Finals, but that same identity has left it without a go-to ball handler to solve its extreme turnover problem. @zachkram: https://t.co/Q9uMPmGLLI

Wrote on Klay Thompson ahead of Game 6. He’s hit some timely shots and probably had his best defensive series against the Celtics. https://t.co/Q1KjsOtKG7
