I will definitely not be seeing all of game 1, as my son and I have reserved seating to see Wonder Woman in IMAX at 7pm. I have been excited to see this ever since her Wonder Woman reveal in Batman V Superman.
I might have to put Wonder Woman over the NBA finals as well, which is something I didn’t think I’d ever say.

 I just read that aloud. Weird, but yeah.

I'm man enough to admit that I would rather watch Wonder Woman than seeing a bunch of prima donnas masquerading as men on a basketball court.

I really hope this series is a classic. I hope LeBron shows up and declares to the world, "I am the greatest to ever play, and I'm going to show you." However, I fear the Warriors will make quick work of yet another foe; we've never seen anything quite like this Warriors team before.

No way in heck the league lets this series go less than 6, and probably does all it can to make it 7.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so I haven't taken that into account.

I don't really think it is a big conspiracy to say the leagues occasionally do things that favor extending the series. Look no further than last year's playoffs. Green absolutely should have been suspended in the Thunder series when the Warriors were down. His actions in that series were extremely egregious. He then did something that was extremely minor in the finals, but his team was winning the series and he was suspended. That was some WWF type stuff there and pretty transparent. Tough for me to believe people would claim the score of the series didn't impact those decisions.
