    They just said on the news that anytime a Western Conference team wins the NBA Championship in an election year, the Republican nominee wins the presidency

    Correlation does not mean causation.

    I call bullshit. There are 2 exceptions in the last 8 elections (assuming they are also saying that when a Eastern Conference team wins, the Republican candidate loses the election):

    1984 - Celtics/Reagan
    2004 - Pistons/Bush

    In any case, go Cavs!

    I'd root against Cleveland even if them losing meant Louis Farrakhan would be made President.

    They are not saying that. It is not bullshit. Read my post again. It's 100% true.

    Big fucking deal, if you don't also include that the Republicans lose the presidential election when an Eastern Conference team wins the NBA championship, you might as well say, that every time a Republican is elected president, someone wins an NBA championship.

    You could also say that every year an Eastern Conference team has won, someone has died as a result of drinking and driving.

    100% true!

    Everytime a western team has won, a prom night dumpster baby helplessly dies next to a half eaten tuna sandwich and old glitter.

    Donald Trump has been the first president elected in USA history when a player from a western conference team averages 6 assists with 9 rebounds on 33 minutes played with 2 dick kicks per game.

    It's not the same as that. I think it's a very interesting correlation.

    That's mature. Don't you have a Trump rally to go riot at?

    And yet you'll waste time getting butthurt about a comment that had nothing to do with you on a forum?

    This is like picking between Clinton/Trump...

    I hate 'em both.

    Warriors and their fans are pretty much like the idiots who support Trump.
