Back to the future

Well, if this isn't deja, deja, deja vu all over again.

Hey, look, kids! It's the Cavaliers vs. the Warriors in the NBA Finals!

This is a total upset and has never happened before, unless you count every one of the last four years. The Cavaliers were not supposed to be here, everyone said so who forgot LeBron James plays for them. But then the greatest basketball player in the universe shifted into Superhero Mode (one click past the "Hero" setting) and would not let them lose, even though they were playing plainly better teams in every single round.

And the Warriors?

Well, you heard about the Plan, right? How the Houston Rockets singlemindedly decided to concentrate solely and obsessively on beating the reigning NBA dynasty?

It was working until Chris Paul got hurt and the Warriors decided to be the Warriors again. And then ... well, you know.

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant and Draymon Green and Klay Thompson and blah, blah, blah.

So now it's on to the Finals, where the Warriors will win in five or six. Unless it goes seven instead. In which case, are you really gonna bet against LeBron in a Game 7 at this point?

I didn't think so.
