1. The Warriors made the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years!

2. Golden State, with 5-12 odds, is the overwhelming betting favorite to win the title. In the preseason, Cleveland was the title favorite, while the Warriors were originally 22-1 to win the title, the eighth-highest in the NBA.

3. The latest on Klay Thompson: He does not have a concussion (according to his agent), and is expected to recover ahead of next Thursday's Game 1.

4. Ticket prices for the NBA Finals are exorbitantly expensive, with Game 1 tickets up about $1000 from last year, on average. Get ready to sell your soul.

In other NBA news, the Bulls fired coach Tom Thibodeau after he had a falling out with the front office.

Oh, and Riley Curry did her thing again. Adorable.
