Why The third Match up will be the Best matchup

Unfortunately, we have to wait an entire week (close to it) until we get a chance to see the third match-up between the Cleveland Cavs and the Golden State Warriors. I think this will be best game in the trilogy. This year it will be Cleveland trying to prove to everyone that it was no fluke they beat the Warriors in last year. Many people including myself think the suspension of Draymond Green put the Cavs in the position to win. The Warriors were up 3-2 and then Green got hit with a suspension for his reaction to Lebron James placing his NUTS on his head. I don’t know about any of you but Bron is lucky all Draymond did was swipe in his direction.

They got off to a very rocky start this season going 2-8 in the first 10 games. To finish the season losing a game 7 in the second round of the playoffs is certainly an accomplishment. My biggest issue isn’t that they lost game 7 to the Celtics it’s how they lost. I’m just going to come right out and say it…… Kelly Olynyk, really? He looks like an high school girls volleyball player. The Wizards made this dude look like Hedo Turoglu! Olynyk scored 26 points. He used and abused Ian Mahinmi, I will touch more on Mahinmi later in this post. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing from the Wizards defense. It’s one thing to let Isiah Thomas (IT) go off, it’s another thing to let Olynyk destroy you for 26 points. I’m not saying the Wizards are the Pistons from the 80s (the bad boys), but to give up 26 points to Kelly Olynyk ...
