While I nurse my extended hangover from a birthday weekend. I'll hand over the weekend thoughts (Warriors edition) to RT.

* If you take away the Warriors best player (Monta) and the Cavs best player (LeBron), the Warriors win a seven game series every time. LeBron James is that good.

* Just because I feel like piling on … trade Kobe for LeBron and the Cavs are the 7 seed in the East and the Lakers sweep the Celtics in the Finals.

* Two classic broadcaster moments from Friday night’s game:

1) In the second quarter, Jim Barnett says this about Corey Maggette “He is a really smart player”.

Do smart players exploit a weakness in the defense (Wally Szczerbiak) for three quarters and then start taking fade away jump shots in the 4^th quarter to single handedly cost their team the game? Of course, Maggette only does this every night so I cannot expect Barnett to know any better.

2) During the post game, Scott Reis says “Tough way for the Warriors to end a game on the night of Monta Ellis’s triumphant return”

Triumphant (adj.): Exulting in success or victory; conquering

Hmm, losing a game at the buzzer sure sounds like exulting in victory to me.

* Reis must have naked pictures of the owner because he is a train wreck.

* If the Cavs supporting cast is mediocre, the Clippers have the worst supporting cast in the league.

* The Clippers starting back court on Sunday was Eric “I cannot dribble” Gordon and Fred “remember me from the dunk contest” Jones. Yikes.

* The Warriors were 10 point favorites and they covered. Who would have believed the Warriors would ever be double digit favorites this year – let alone cover it?

* Speaking of gambling, LeBron turned a 70% loss into 10% return with his last second heroics.

* RTNBA Fund Return: 24.9%

* Tune in tomorrow for the Warriors mid-season grades

And here is the rest of it.
