The Cavs' First Championship Thanks to LeBron?... or did Steph Curry have a bad game?

The Cavs' First NBA Championship ever! 

The Cavs really went all in this year and like most people, I think LeBron killed it in every game this season, and recognize him as the greatest player in the league right now. With Kawhi Leonard #2 on my list, and Steph Curry a close #3, it's hard to think LeBron didn't feel the heat this season. With "Up N' Comers" getting all the Hype, LeBron really showed up at NBA Championship Game 7, and showed the world he's still got it. Undoubtedly Game 7 was a great game on the entire Cleveland team's part, but it somewhat seemed like Steph Curry didn't show up. Curry looked tired and worn out with some good plays here and there. Towards the end of the game the lack of play strategy and effort on the Warrior's side was apparent and their play style somewhat resembled a neighborhood pickup game with haphazard shots and passes. 

This makes me wonder if Steph would have preformed in Game 7 like we expected him to, would Golden State have taken the title this year? Would the Warriors be the 2016 NBA Champions? Some say the Warrior's coach Steve Kerr might be to blame for the lack of control and diligence the team showed toward the end of the game. 

Maybe next year we will see a rematch with the Cavs staying strong, or maybe Golden State taking the title.

What are your thoughts?

A Moon Shaped Pool Album Cover

Radiohead's Ninth Studio Album is a hit. With mostly new sounds and some reminiscent progressions this album is just what we needed.

 

With 11 tracks this album is both relaxing, and exciting. Track 1 "Burn the Witch", also being the first single released from the album, is a fast paced, well orchestrated masterpiece topped with Thom Yorke's notoriously haunting vocals for the perfect balance of a song you want to hear. The video for this song is pretty ironic as it seems to depict the one leading the hunt (for witches) end up getting burned in the end leaving an indecisive message left to be interpreted. With Thom Yorke fancying political satire in lyrics, one can only wonder if this has a political target message.

Track 2 "Daydreaming" which is the second single from the album is an entrancing climb into chaos with multiple layers of dissonant fading sounds being added in towards the end of the song leaving off with an unsettling but fitting demonic voice repeating an indistinguishable sentence over and over. The video for this song is a spot on representation of someone who is daydreaming, going through the daily motions without really paying much attention to your surroundings and is a perfect match to the song in its slow climb to chaos ending in Thom walking through snow up a mountain into a cave where he lies down and eventually falls asleep.

My favorite of the songs being tied between "Present Tense" and "The Numbers" in an undecided bout between an all new experience, and one that is a neoclassic polyphonic sound that is both reminiscent of previous Radiohead, also with slight Beck overtones both being very impressive feats of musical knowledge and talent.

Finally the last song on the album "True Love Waits" is a much more emotional version of a song first released as a live track in 1995, leaving us close to tears from the touching vocals atop the highly reverb-clad piano ending the album leaving us satisfied, but also wanting more.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more! #GetHype
