Golden State Warriors Unlikely to Visit Trump

IALT: Write about what I learnt after reading an article about 2017 NBA Champions Golden State Warriors.

According to this article it is American Tradition. Your team wins the big championship and you get to visit the White House. Reports have said that Golden State Warriors have little interest of visiting Donald Trump after securing the title yesterday. The Warriors managed to claim their 2nd title in three years after beating Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1 in the best of the 7 game series. They beat the Cavs 120-129 and then the team released a statement "Today is all about the championship" They have not received an invitation to the White House but it is very unlikely they will accept the oppurtunity.

However, American radio host Dan Dibley told Radio Sport Breakfast that he is certain the team won't visit president Trump "There's no way that the Warriors are going to see 45 [Donald Trump]. The things that he has done already in his presidency have not gone done well with a lot of the members of the Golden State Warriors," the 95.7 The Game Breakfast host said.
Stephen Curry and head coach Steph Kerr have also spoken openly about their dislike of Trump during the season. The New England Patriots visited Trump in April after they won the Super Bowl, but more then 20 players skipped the trip including quarterback MVP Tom Brady.

During my time reading this article I learnt that the Warriors don't want to visit Donald Trump after his actions are against the wishes of most of the Warrior players. I also learnt that the New England Patriots visited Trump in April after they won the Super Bowl.  But most of them missed out on the trip, when Barack Obama was President 50 of them went, but this year most of them missed out. 

I found this article on New Zealand Herald, which is a website where it provides you with specific and detailed information about the situation.

Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors Go Head To Head

IALT: Write about the Cavs and Warriors going head to head in the finals for the third successive year. 

Once again, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will go head to head in the NBA final once again, today at 1:00pm the first round of the series will begin. It will be another exciting series as they went head to head last year in the same situation. To see who will be the 2017 NBA Champions. The match was finalised after the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics in a 4-1 series. Any easy win for the Cavs, same to the Warriors, they beat the San Antonio Spurs 4-0. 

The game was LeBron James become the highest scorer in NBA play-off history, surpassing Michael Jordan’s record of 5987, with a 35-point effort for the Cavaliers.That helped the visitors ease to a 135-102 victory that wrapped up a 4-1 series victory and clinched the Eastern Conference. It is the seventh successive year James had lead his team to the finals. 


What are my thoughts on this article?

Well I am a huge Cavs fan, and so therefore I am thinking that they will win for the 2nd year straight. Although the Warriors, are known to be the best team in the NBA I still think the Cavs have a chance of overcoming them and be the 2017 NBA champions. Although the Golden Warriors have had a better season then the Cavs, they still have a chance of beating the Cavs. 

Going back to last year, both teams had a good chance of retaining the trophy but in the end, the Cavs had the better skill set and Teamwork. I hope the Cavs beat the Warriors in their first match today. #UpTheCavs
