The NBA world was very excited for a highly-anticipated finals rematch between the Warriors and the Cavs in Cleveland on Monday.

David Blatt is at it again. No, the Cleveland Cavaliers head honcho isn’t spouting fighter-pilot analogies. He is, however, comparing San Antonio Spurs jack of all tradesman Boris Diaw to English singer and songwriter David Bowie, who just passed away on Jan. 10.

Oh, hello there, 2016. We almost didn’t see you come in, not with the 2015-16 NBA season unfolding exactly how it wasn’t supposed to.
