The Unfortunate Thing About Game One...

Do you know what's quite sad about Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers?

That its biggest talking point isn't Lebron James' singular dominance, scoring 51 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and 8 assists in an almost triple-double effort, while playing 48 minutes.


That its biggest talking point isn't the Warriors' magnificent team effort, with Curry (29points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists), Durant (26 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists), Klay Thompson (24 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist), and Draymond Green (13 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists) all proving the better team wins even over the unquestioned best player in the game.

That its biggest talking point isn't the resurgence of Kevin Love, who came back with a vengeance to log 21 points and 13 rebounds.

Instead, we are talking about a mistake that didn't even directly cause the Cavs to lose Game 1. Everything else got lost in the air of schadenfreude.
