Winners OnlyPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedAnti Doping
Dear, Adam Silver Hi, My name is Raghav Bhatla I am a concerned student from Harry Ainlay Composite High School. My position on the proposal of allowing performance-enhancing drugs to be allowed in the NBA is to reject it. I say this because the risks of this outweigh the enhancements. This would be a really bad idea because it would erase all the hard work, and talent that is in the NBA.
Raghav BhatlaPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedWhat this duo has done that no other duo has
Playing in the league is an accomplishment in itself , but being mentioned amongst the leagues greats or even greatest players is something a lot of players don't get to experience. Being "That Guy" on the court, something that kids and upcoming players try to emulate almost all the time whether they know it or not.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Golden State Warriors won Game Six of the 2022 NBA Finals by a score of 103-90, clinching the franchise's seventh NBA Championship overall, their fifth since moving to California's Bay Area, and their fourth in the last eight years. The Warriors became the first team to win (at least) four championships in an eight-year span since the legendary Chicago Bulls teams of the 1990s, and regarding this year, it was a return to the top after a brief period away from playoff prominence following their loss in the 2019 Finals to the Toronto Raptors.

ValuedPostPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedFinals Game Five: No Curry Threes, No Problem
A 2-2 series after four games in a best-of-seven makes Game Five immensely important. It turns the series into a best-of-three, with home-court advantage returning to the team who hosted Games One and Two. The winner of Game Five moves one win away from clinching the series, and it is immensely important in a championship series, as the stakes are much higher. This is the scenario that the 2022 NBA Finals faced, as the Golden State Warriors evened the championship series at 2-2 with their Game Four win, and they returned home to play the pivotal Game Five against the Boston Celtics.

The Golden State Warriors ended Game Three with the biggest bit of uncertainty hanging over their heads: the availability of Stephen Curry. Curry suffered an apparent injury during Game Three, which actually left the Warriors facing the possibility of playing Game Four without their star player. However, the news came in on the day of the game that Curry would be playing; no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

There is some turmoil in Boston sports lately as the NBA Finals heads to that very city. The Boston Red Sox, who fell two wins short of the American League pennant last season, are off to a rough start--but they are in a playoff position. The Boston Bruins could see their vaunted Perfection Line implode, as Patrice Bergeron could end up retiring, and David Pastrnak isn't happy with the team's GM. In spite of all of that, Boston does have one big positive to look forward to: their first NBA Finals game in 12 years. The Celtics split the first two games against the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area; now, the Finals is a best-of-five and Boston has the home court.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedFinals Game Two: Warriors Even the Score
The Golden State Warriors entered Game Two of the NBA Finals with their backs to the wall; a position that they had not been familiar with in the past Finals they had been in. In each of the Warriors' last five appearances in the Finals, the Warriors were strong at the start, even in their defeats in 2016 (against the Cleveland Cavaliers) and 2019 (against the Toronto Raptors). This year, however, was different. The Warriors lost Game One on their home court, doing so after entering the 4th quarter with a 12 point lead. Because of that, the Warriors are in a must-win situation, as they could ill afford entering Boston down 2-0.
