Cleveland in the Finals
-
The Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees had one helluva rivalry in the late 40s/50s until the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.
They met in the World Series in 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956. The Dodgers came within one game of meeting them in the 1950 (lost the pennant on the last day of the regular season) and 1951 (lost the deciding game vs the NY Giants in the NL Playoff Series) World Series too.
Some people still haven't got over the Dodgers move......somewhat too on the NY baseball Giants.
But the populations were moving West.

That and the guy who pretty much ran New York City back then and decided what got built and what didn't - Robert Moses - didn't care for Brooklyn owner Walter O'Malley. He wouldn't ok the plot of land O'Malley wanted in Brooklyn to build his new domed park, and the rest is history. Roughly 50 years later, the Brooklyn Nets' new arena stands on that exact spot.

The bookmaking community seem to agree with you:
ODDS TO WIN THE 2017-18 NBA FINALS (6/15/18) vegasinsider.comTeam Odds Golden State Warriors 1/10 <---- WOW, in a championship series? Cleveland Cavaliers 6/1 GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
I do note that for the 13 years between 1945 and 1957.....Cleveland had a team playing in the Finals of a sport in 12 of those 13 years....and a couple of times, more than one team.
We had a little taste of that in 2016. Maybe, if the Indians can get their act together, they can do a repeat of 2016.

This reminds me of LeBron taking that mediocre roster to the Finals in '07 only to get swept by a great Spurs team.

If the Cavaliers could beat the Warriors would it be the biggest championship upset of all time? Tough to do in a best of 7 game series.

Colts on A Roll: 13-1
Over in the NFL, meanwhile, coach Don Shula’s Baltimore Colts had also completed a superior season in 1968 — in fact, pro football’s best that year — finishing the regular season by winning 10 games in a row, four by shutouts. The Colts posted a 13-1 record. In their last ten games, they had allowed only seven touchdowns. Their quarterback, Earl Morrall, who had replaced the legendary Johnny Unitas after an injury, was having a great season, with a league-leading passing performance. On their way to meeting the Jets in the Superbowl, the Colts had decisively beaten the Cleveland Browns 34-0 in the NFL championship game. Given this performance, many regarded the Colts as one of the best teams of all time, even comparable to Vince Lombardi’s championship Green Bay Packer teams — teams that had won Super Bowls I and II. So it was no surprise that the Colts were favored to beat the Jets in the big game.

Never in all My years of watching sports have I seen the kind of ShmuckERY! The NBA refs pulled tonight to ensure a Golden State victory.. They literally bent the rules in favor of Golden State. If they can bend the rules..Whats the sense of having them.. If theyre just gonna change it.. To appease the golden state HOMO's.. Then throw the rules out and let'em play Shmuckin ball!

Insane, but hill could have made both free throws, and Jr could have used his head and knew the damn score and called a time out. He also let curry hit a 3 to end the half. j.r. hasn't been good since 2016. We also missed so many open looks. love has to be able to connect, he is an all star but fades away when the going gets tough.

I'm still fuming and feeling the hurt over this.. I can understand Golden State on paper is the better team.. They have 3 of the top shooters in the game... They didn't need the refs to gift wrap it for them...

4 All Stars, including at least two HOFers, plus 3 Refs and the home crowd couldn't beat Lebron James, it took a boneheaded play by a teammate.

Calling LeBron for blocking on Durant was BS, and that was a game changer for sure.

JR should of known what was going on. But that being said, the change of the charge call to a block was absolutely ridiculous, and If I had a dude who looks and acts like the donkey from Shrek (Draymond), and he got in my face and taunted me and clapped, I would of pushed him just like TT did too.
The Fact that on first take the warriors fans said they were never afraid because they are the best ever is pathetic. The fact that M.C. Hammer of all people is talking Sheet about cleveland on first take this morning is pathetic. The fact that the girl I used to date from Oakland snapchatted me talking Sheet about the warriors manhandling the cavs is pathetic. And the Fact that Draymond has the nerve to call LeBron a B#$%^ and Curry has the nerve to talk sh!t to LeBron is pathetic too.
LeBron is on next level. He'll put up 60 if he has to. But J.R. is disappointing me, I know he'll bounce back though. Lastly, that ref should be fired. In my opinion was as bad as "Bottlegate" was for the NFL. Even Chris Bosh tweeted that it was a ridiculous and unfair call.

Myself & several Mikes Hard Lemonade thought this happened? (of course Green stands shouting from other end of court. My reading lips count hit 3 times never getting news).. JR failed the Jr.high school b-ball test..with 4 seconds left, if the ball comes to me what do I do for a team win? Give Ty the ABC sidelines mic>>>
Gaymon' Green...King James hung 51 on your A S S's..

The changed call was the clearest evidence I've ever seen of game fixing. Without that call the game was over. There were also two clear miscalled fouls on us that were clean strips amdcto add insult to injury Curry mugged Lebron on a strip and no call. Fu k the refs. Also if I could see someone power bomb that b!tch loudmouth punk Green I'd be damn happy.
