NBA Finals Game One, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron James, Shaun Livingston, Chris Fedor, and Reflection Friday.

Today's show centers around the event of the week, the NBA Finals. The Golden State Warriors sprung out to a 104-89 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, but without much contribution from the Splash Brothers, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Al and engineer Isaac Constans diagnose Cleveland's downfall, as well as compare how their predictions stack up thus far. Callers also chime in with their thoughts on the game and series outcome, with everybody singing the praises of Steph Curry's backup, Shaun Livingston. Then, a man with as many ties to the series as anybody, Cavaliers beat reporter for Advance Ohio (cleveland.com) and host at 92.3 The Fan, calls in to provide the insider info with a Clevelander's perspective. He fills you in on the importance of the series, the likelihood of a comeback, and even the rumor mill's motions in Ohio. After that, there isn't much time for much else but to look back on the week, with "Reflection Friday."
