The Madhouse: Week of 6/6/16

Hey. Ho. Let's go.

• Well, that was easy. The Golden State Warriors are up 2-0 in dominating fashion on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have basically been decoys while the rest of the team carves up Lebron James and company. Sorry, Believeland, it ain't your year. Again.
• Any Game of Thrones fans out there? How much better has the show been this season without being chained to the books? The lack of source material has had a propulsive effect on the pacing.  I'm diggin' it.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows made $35M this weekend.  Did any of you see it?  Do you have children? What is going on with you exactly?
• We'll go out on a sad note: Muhammad Ali died this past week. He is a towering figure in sports and American history and his presence will be missed. If you find yourself bored today, Google (or Bing, I don't care, it's a free country) "Muhammad Ali stories" for several hours of entertainment and inspiration

In 1967, Ali was an enemy of the State. In 1996, he lit the Olympic torch. The world changed. Not Ali. That's a testament to his character.
