Diamonds in the Rough Roundup 6/5/15

What in incredible Game 1 of the NBA Finals.  I saw somewhere that it was actually the highest rated Game 1 in NBA Finals history.  Pretty impressive.  The Warriors got off to their usual slow start, but were able to climb back in it with the help of Andre Iguodola off the bench.  It’s a shame that Kyrie Irving got hurt, as he was playing like a superstar that game.  It’s ironic that this might be a repeat of the last time Lebron James was in the NBA Finals with Cleveland.  He had no help then, and his 2 guys who were supposed to help him this time are both injured.  I’m sure the Cavs can win at least one game in the series.  But with Irving hurt, they won’t be able to win more than that.

Here are some articles from superstars in their own right:
