NBA Finals, a predictor of presidential election?
Sportsnaut ^ | June 1, 2016 | Vincent Frank

As the 2016 NBA Finals set to tip off Thursday in Oakland, multiple presidential candidates are touring through the state of California in an attempt to win their party’s primary election ahead of November’s general election.

Heck, Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders found himself among Dub Nation as the Golden State Warriors closed out the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals on Monday night.

Sanders, along with fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump should all be playing close attention to the 2016 NBA Finals between the Western Conference champion Warriors and Eastern Conference champions Cleveland Cavaliers.

It looks like the Democratic presidential candidate can only win if the NBA Finals champion comes from the Eastern Conference

I went to yesterday's game at Oracle - doesn't look like that'll be happening this year.

Yes, I heard that last week; cannot recall exactly which channel at this moment.
Hopefully, Golden State will sweep Cleveland and that will allow the folks more time to prepare the Quicken Loans Arena for Trump’s Convention. He made reference to this factor at the beginning of his press conference last Tuesday.
At least, the series is going in the right direction and I seriously doubt LeBron James and company can take Stephen Curry and his team four out of the last five games.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!!!

I had no idea the Warriors were called Dub Nation.

I remember Rick Barry.

Of ALL the crappy things Romney did to lose the 2012 election he had one prescient observation. “You only pick losers.”

Wherever Obama goes, run.

A better predictor may be the world series. Only 2 times have the republicans won when the NL team won the world series. It was 1908 and 1980.

I remember all the talk during Bush v. Clinton about how the Weekly Reader was never wrong and they were saying Bush. This reading of the chicken bones doesn’t mean anything real (though the Weekly Reader did have somewhat of a basis in reality, in that the children were supposed to reflect the views of their parents).

Thanks. I thought there was a third time but could not think of what it was.
