Phût phāsǎ Thai Spurs or Cavaliers? / sàpōe rǔe khāvālīa Experience and aggressive defense of the Spurs are pitted against the Cavaliers' superstar
Besides soccer or football, basketball is another sport that grabs the attention of diehard Thai sports fans and causes us to sit long hours while fixated on flickering TV screens. Unfortunately for sports fans who work nine-to-five jobs it takes a championship effort to watch live games as they air early in the mornings in our time zone. On June 2, the National Basketball Association (NBA) finals began. This year San Antonio Spurs take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Sports commentators and many fans have favored the Spurs over the Cavaliers. The first game confirmed their predictions when San Antonio beat Cleveland 85-76. There are six more games to go. It remains to be seen if LeBron James, who many expect to outperform Michael Jordan, and Daniel Gibson, a hero still in his rookie year, can help net the team the title. |
