2017 NBA Championship Dream Matchups

The most exciting basketball game of the year. Two teams will collide for the NBA championship in June. You want to see the best game possible, no matter if your team is playing or not. The championship game for an NBA fan is about having a dream matchup between two powerhouse teams. The Eastern Conference vs the West. What two teams you would want to see battle for the NBA title?

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors - The Cavs are the reigning NBA championships, it's only right for them to defend their title like any other champion would. The Warriors fell short last year in game seven against the Cavs. Since then, the Warriors added Kevin Durant to their monstrous roster. KD loss to LeBron James for the NBA championship and I'm sure it leaves an unsettling taste in his mouth. This will be a dream matchup for the world to enjoy.

60 percent chance of these two teams meeting in the finals

Cleveland Cavaliers vs LA Clippers - This dream matchup would host some of the best dunkers in the world. Two of the most explosive teams in basketball clashing for seven straight games for the NBA championship. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are well overdue for a ring. The Clippers can't get pass key players getting hurt. Nobody really knows what this team can do in the playoffs, coach Doc Rivers can't wait to find out himself. LeBron would have a tough time facing a team like the Clips. DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin combined with the leadership of Chris Paul in an NBA finals game of this caliber, fans would go nuts. The NBA would be on fire if the Clippers could find the strength to make it past the Warriors.

Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder – The NBA wouldn’t be the NBA without a few surprises. There are some fans in the world that love rematches, rival games or repeats. Then you have a certain group that would pay for two new teams to meet for the NBA championship. The Pacers have revamped their team to be offensive minded. They’re ready to compete for the Eastern Conference championship. Paul George is an outstanding player and he’s back to playing like the superstar before the leg injury. Russell Westbrook is the most explosive player in the NBA. His buddy Kevin Durant left him hanging ( you know he did ) for the team that defeated them in the Western Conference finals last year. How would that make you feel? Westbrook wouldn’t want anything more than defeating the Golden State Warriors before winning his first NBA championship.

10 percent chance of these two teams meeting in the finals

Philadelphia 76ers vs LA Lakers – If this could happen, let me be the first person to say, this will be the most watch NBA championship game ever. The NBA has grown since day one and with players like Westbrook, Curry, Harden, James and so on. Who would ever imagine the NO.1 pick vs the NO.2 pick in the NBA draft to face-off for an NBA title. How unbelievably crazy that would be. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are showing off for the NFL and sports fans can’t get enough. Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram face-off in the 2017 NBA championship. Yeah, not happening.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
