Cavs

According To Richard Jefferson’s Snapchat, Here’s What The Cavs Championship Rings Look Like

Can you… can you marry a piece of jewelry? Because I want to marry that ring right now.

It still hasn’t 100% hit me that the Cavs won the championship. I’m probably at about an 85% right now but once those rings get handed out to the players and the banner gets hung before the first game vs. the New York Superteam Knicks is when it’ll truly sink all the way in. I’m still fully entrenched with all of the “Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals” jokes that sometimes I forget that we’ll be hanging that banner on October 25th.

The Cleveland skyline and the Roman Numeral “52” (as in 52 years since Cleveland’s last championship) are an awesome touch

 

UPDATE: Forgot the Cavs were going 0-82 this season because we’re about to be infected with The Kardashian so enjoy these rings while you can, Cavs fans

I know everyone has bad games and you could cut up some Cavs highlights from the past few clunkers that look even worse than this….but that doesn’t change the fact that this video is hands down the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.

For those of you out there still clinging on to the “It’s hard to hate Steph” train, I present to you the events of the past 72 hours. After heroically returning from basically a hangnail of the knee he suffered in the first round (or an MCL sprain depending on who you talk to), Steph proclaimed himself to be “here” as well as “back” after a 17 point overtime period in Game 4 of the WCSF against the Blazers (see above GIF). However, he was apparently lying. The Warriors have gone down 3-1 to the Thunder in tremendous fashion, and although Steph is technically “there”, he is apparently not “back”.

A report comes out after last night’s 6-20 from the field, 2-10 from three and six turnover performance that Steph is playing at 70% strength, battling to come “back” from the knee injury he already said he was “back” from. I’m “confused”.

I mean come on. This doesn’t come out if the Warriors didn’t just  get emasculated on national TV two games in a row. We can all agree that he hasn’t been the same player since his return, but it’s pretty convenient timing for a report to confirm it.

Now I’m not going to straight up call Steph a liar and the Warriors sore losers because I’m a class act and that’s not how we do things at Bottlegate, but you’re all free to draw your own conclusions.
