Watch the NBA Finals

Estimated time: 9-18 days, depending on series length

Our first idea is a pretty obvious one.

Since we can’t watch Clippers basketball, we might as well watch NBA basketball. And while it is a repeat of the last two Finals, it’s still exciting and historical. This is the first time in the NBA’s 71-year history that two teams have faced each other in 3 consecutive championships. Not only is this a testament to the greatness of both teams, but it gives us the opportunity to witness the finale to what is hopefully just a trilogy.

LeBron James may go down as the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. For us to be able to watch him dominate the game right now is a blessing. On the other hand, this Warriors team is nothing to mess with. A team that went 73-9 last year added one of the most unstoppable scorers of all time to their roster. What we’re witnessing here will likely never happen again in our lifetime.

And now, here we are again, with Golden State up 3-1 over the Cavs in the NBA Finals. Can Cleveland pull off the upset of all upsets after being down 3-0? We’ll all just have to watch and see.

But anyway, speaking of trilogies…
