I was going to post this last night, but a crazy neighborhood and an uncooperative police department are making things a bit sticky around here.
Anyway, Steph Curry's wife needs to shut up about the series being rigged, but she may be eventually right -- but not for the reason you might think coming from this former (and future) resident of the Bay Area...
The shine is off the Warriors and everybody, save the Bay Area (and, apparently, Miami) wants them to lose tonight -- and that might be enough that (if and only if required -- and it may not be) Cleveland might finally break the drought and 73-9 will go for naught...

As it now deserves to be.
Golden State, who the fuck do you think you are? Curry should be banned for tonight's game for throwing something into the stands (liability risk, if nothing else!), Draymond Green should've been banned for at least both games 5 and 6, and the entire shine has come off the Warriors.
We can discuss when this idiocy started (some think when they got win #73, I'm thinking more Western Conference Finals, others have other opinions), but the fact is, as Rusty correctly puts it, between the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Warriors and the Cleveland championship drought, the heel turn is complete.
Tonight's game might be the biggest in recent NBA history. A Warrior win probably makes them considered the greatest (single-season) team of all time. A Warrior loss probably breaks this team up, Draymond Green first, Harrison Barnes to follow.
A Cleveland win breaks the drought. A Cleveland loss has an albatross around the team's and city's neck, as well as it's favorite NBA son.
