The Win for the Land and the Workout

It was really fun last night texting with my friend who has been a long suffering Cleveland sports fan. LeBron James and the Cavaliers pulled off what seemed to be damn near impossible: 1) Beat Steph Curry and the Warriors three games in a row, 2) Win a professional sports championship for the City of Cleveland, 3) Come back from a 3-1 series deficit which had never been done before and 4) LeBron would need to lead BOTH teams in all major categories to pull off the win (Points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals). In the end, there will be the memory of "The Block" on Andre Iguodala by LeBron who seemed to materialize out of thin air and "The Shot" from Kyrie over Curry. I am not a Cleveland fan but I am very happy for the city and my friend to finally have another championship.

73. Amazing. And the Workout!

The Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies tonight to win their 73rd game this season. They broke a long held record by the 1996 Chicago Bulls that included the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. Lots of people talk about these Warriors... "They won the title last year because the teams they played in the playoffs were all injury plagued..." or "Well if Curry played back in Jordan's day... blah blah blah..." The fact is that 73 wins in a season is amazing and the only ones that seem like they may be able to do it again in the not so distant future are.... the Warriors.

Warm-Up: One minute of rope whips followed by 1 minute rest to complete a set. Four sets total.
