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.

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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
