You can say this about the NBA Finals. If someone is scripting it, they’re doing a good job.
Kidding, kidding. But after Thursday’s Game Six, Ayesha Curry – the wife of Warriors’ star Stephen Curry, suggested that the game was rigged in a since-removed Tweet, Since then, protests have risen from others that the NBA shaped this game to occur.
And why not? With the drama of a Game Seven, with two of the league’s biggest stars in Golden State’s Curry and Cleveland’s LeBron James, it goes down as must-see TV.
Game Sevens are beautiful things, the final showdowns of a season. You have six games of prologue, and then one final winner-take-all battle. There is nothing that can match the tension.
Who should be favored? Well, the Cavs have won two in a row. But the Warriors are at home, where teams have gone 15-3 in Game Sevens.
“It’s game seven,” James said. “I’ll play it anywhere.”
Game time is 8 pm. Sunday.
