Penguins take control with Game 2

NBA FINALS: Warriors picked as heavy favorites by odds makers, statisticians
Continued from 1B
“I can’t go out there and
do everything on my own or
I can’t go out there and just
let my teammates do all the
work for me,” Durant said
Wednesday, a day before the
series opener. “I got to do my
part and we all got to make
it come together as a group.”
This matchup has seemed
ordained since James walked
off the court in Oakland last
June, having delivered his
native northeast Ohio its first
major team championship
since 1964.
James had won two titles
as part of another “super
team” in Miami but last
year’s crown meant even
more to his legacy.
“I’m not in the ‘prove
people wrong, silence critics’
department no more,” James
said. “I got a promotion when
I got to the 30s. At the end of
the day, I know the way I’m
built. My only motivation is
to be able to compete for a
championship every single
year.”
The Warriors have been
right there the past two years,
winning the franchise’s first
title in 40 years in 2015 and
then blowing a 3-1 lead last
year to put a sour ending on
a record-breaking 73-win
season.
That series turned when
Green was suspended for
Game 5 and James and Kyrie
Irving took over from there.
“Any time someone beats
you, you’d love to play
them,” Green said. “But at
the end of the day winning
a championship is winning
a championship. You don’t
care who you’ve got to take
down, you just want to take
whoever that is down.”
Here are some other
things to watch in Part III:
FINALS REMATCH
While the Cavs and
Warriors have played in the
Finals the past two years,
Durant and James met before
that in different uniforms.
James won his first title in
2012 with Miami in a five-
game series over Durant and
the Thunder. Durant played
well, averaging 30.6 points
and shooting 55 percent but
James came out on top.
“I know I’ve grown as a
player just through experi-
ence from the last five years,
but if I don’t go out there
and execute, none of that
matters,” Durant said.
BROWN CONNECTION
James’ first trip to the
Finals came 10 years ago
when the Cavs were swept by
San Antonio. His coach that
year was Mike Brown, who
has served as acting coach for
PIONEERS: Richwine heads to George Fox
Continued from 1B
Her decision came down
to College of Idaho and
Dixie State, but her comfort
level with the Coyotes
coaching staff and with the
school’s campus sold her.
“It kind of reminded me
of home, and you have to go
with what feels like home
and that’s what I did,” Cope-
land said while smiling.
Fortune felt the same way
about the Coyotes, as she
also looked at Whitworth
University in Spokane,
Washington and George Fox
University. The infielder,
who plans to study biology
and pre-veterinary, finished
off her career strong for the
Pioneers this season as she
led the team with a .574
batting average and 44 runs
scored as the leadoff hitter.
On top of that, she hit three
home runs, five doubles, five
triples and drove in 26 runs.
And being able to make her
college decision official on
Wednesday was a “dream
come true.”
“It’s a lot of relief and that
sense of being really proud
of yourself for working hard
for something and getting
where you want to be,”
Fortune said. “I’m excited to
play with Mall and Collette
and I think we’ll be able
to do good things for the
program and I’m super
excited.”
Also
signing
on
Wednesday was senior
Sydney Richwine, who
will be playing basketball
for the George Fox Bruins.
Richwine was a first-team
all-conference player for the
Pioneers as a senior, where
she averaged 13.9 points and
11.1 rebounds per game.
“This is kind of unbe-
lievable,” Richwine said. “I
grew up looking at college
players thinking ‘Wow,
that’d be awesome’ and now
I’m here and it’s making me
emotional because I’m so
excited.”
Richwine, who plans
to study exercise science
with the intent on moving
into the physical therapy
program, will join two other
Eastern Oregon athletes on
the Bruins roster this winter,
with Hermiston alumnae
Tavin Headings and Condon
alumnae Matney Jamieson
on the team already.
Richwine’s older brother
Derek played football for
George Fox as well, and will
graduate in December. She
said that from her trips to
campus to visit her brother,
she knew George Fox was a
good place for her.
“I like that it’s close to
Portland, but it’s not quite
the big city,” she said. “And
then the community ... every
time I visited it seemed
super family like and it’s a
gorgeous campus, especially
in the fall, and I’m super
excited.”
the Warriors while Steve Kerr
is out following complications
from back surgery. Brown
had two stints as coach in
Cleveland, leading the team
to the playoffs five straight
times from 2006-10 before
returning for a one-year stint
in 2013-14 when the Cavs
won 33 games.
“It feels a little surreal,”
Brown said. “I’m sure come
tip-off tomorrow, when I’m
looking at those guys in that
uniform, it will feel even
more that way, but right now
just kind of taking everything
in stride.”
UNDERDOG CAVS
According to the odds
makers in Las Vegas and
the number crunchers at
analytical sites, the Warriors
are the clear favorites to win
the series after sweeping their
way through the playoffs
with a record-setting margin
of victory of 16.3 points
per game. James has called
Golden State a “juggernaut”
but the Warriors aren’t buying
all that talk.
“We’ve had a great season
to this point, a great playoff
run. And hopefully we keep
it going, but we fully respect
and are aware that this team
that we’re playing, they’re
the champions and we’re
not,” Kerr said.
KLAY’S SHOT
One of the few things
that hasn’t gone right for
Golden State this postseason
has been Klay Thompson’s
shooting. He has hit just 38
percent of his shots as his
normally reliable jumper has
failed him.
“I’ve had a week off,”
Thompson said. “So I feel
great. Can’t get caught up in
your shot falling or not.”
Thompson has been
stellar on the defensive end
even when his shot has been
off and will likely be counted
on at times to slow down
Irving, who scored 98 points
in the final three games last
year, including the series-
clinching 3-pointer.
BY THE NUMBERS
The Warriors are the first
team to win their first 12
games of the postseason,
sweeping all three rounds
so far. The Cavs haven’t
been far behind, losing only
in Game 3 of the Eastern
Conference final to Boston.
This series also features
11 players who have been
named All-Stars in their
careers, including seven this
year. The only other time
a Finals matchup featured
11 former All-Stars came
in 1983 when Philadelphia
swept the Los Angeles
Lakers.
