Final Pre-Finals Thoughts
So yeah, it looks like Bill Simmons came out pretty much the exact opposite way as me on the NBA Finals. No matter. Simmons doesn't know the number one reason the Cavs will win -- a reason that I didn't list yesterday.
About two and a half weeks ago, during the Cavs-Nets series, I told a friend about a vision I had. "This will be a year where the Buckeyes make the championship in football and men's basketball, the Cavs make it to the NBA Finals, and the Tribe makes it to the World Series."
"Yeah," my friend said. "And they'll all lose because you'll go to every game."
"Yeah," I said. "Probably."
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I won't be able to make it to any of the NBA Finals games this year. What does that mean? You guessed it -- this series won't turn out like the BCS National Championship Game or the Final Four. Since I won't be in the house for the games, the Cavs will win it all.
(And that, you see, is a glimpse inside the psyche of a Cleveland sports fan.)
