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.

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
