Super Sports

In 2016, the Golden State Warriors returned from the brink of defeat.                                                                              Down by Oklahoma three games to one, they achieved an incredible feat.

Who would have believed they would shortly share an identical scenario?                                                                        Yes , they too were defeated when Cleveland portrayed the NBA horror.

Great teams, recovering from sore defeats, believe there's always tomorrow.                                                    They learn to rise from the ashes, and dismiss their agony and their sorrow.

Often, if they believe and don't give up, tomorrow may arrive the same day;                                                 Like Boston's Brady Bunch, who revived to beat the Falcons in a remarkable way.

And then there were the Cubs, downed by the Indians three games to one.                                                                             Who would have believed that  Cleveland would go on to win none?
