There Will Be Some Basketball This Weekend

The NBA postseason kicks off tomorrow in Cleveland at 3 PM. Can you feel the excitement? You can! Awl publisher David Cho was going to put together a playoff preview, but he ran out of time when we were all, “Dude! Go get us some MONEY!” He suggests that you read this instead. My own personal prediction is that the Cavaliers will finally win it all, because the league wants to see LeBron in New York and giving Cleveland a championship would make for a much easier parting. Expect some very generous calls for the Cavs. But what do I know? As a Celtics fan my hopes for the playoffs are mainly that the Lakers do not win another title. It’s been that kind of year.
