CLEVELAND — As the Cavaliers face the possibility of a 3-0 series deficit in the NBA Finals after Wednesday night, the question becomes less about needing a win to keep their championship dreams alive and more about needing to give LeBron James, an impending free agent, a modicum of hope about the future of the organization.
If we were to listen to Las Vegas, the future seems bleak. More compelling than the odds of winning this season's championship (Golden State is currently listed at -2500 on OddsShark) are the odds to win next season's championship.
