I won a bet with my friend by betting him that that Warriors would advance to the finals over the Thunder after dropping game 1 in the series. There were several times when I thought the bet was lost but that would have been the worst choke ever considering the Warriors were 73-9 during the regular season.

I have mixed feelings going into game 1 of the finals tonight. Part of me likes to root for California teams but part of me wants to see James get a ring for his home state of Ohio...
