Starting 5ive: What We Want To See in GSW vs CLE

The NBA Conference Finals went by without much drama, and lacked the game-winners and Paul Pierce-ness of the second round. We’re hoping the GSW-CLE Finals will offer much more than Steph Curry’s record breaking stats (yawn) or LeBron’s triple doubles (double yawn).

Starting 5ive: The Dayo Teams

Home-court advantage doesn’t only exist at the “Roaracle,” it also applies to the humble, little courts where we grew up in, where we practiced the art of “tap board,” and where we had to defend against Team Dayo.
