On Wednesday night, ESPN is forcing Golden State Warriors fans to make the ultimate decision: Choose between two very severe levels of pain.
On the one hand, Warriors fans can do what they’ve done over the fast few weeks, and live in a world devoid of basketball. Ouch.
On the other hand, Warriors fans can watch basketball - high level basketball, no less - while also sobbing into their pillow and raiding their alcohol stash. Also ouch.
Yes, that’s right, on Wednesday night ESPN is re-airing Game 5 and Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, in which LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and the Cleveland Cavaliers became the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, thus ruining the Warriors record-setting 73-win season.
