Sports fans love conspiracy theories, and over the weekend a new one developed involving the Warriors and the NBA Finals.
SB Nation was the first to spot an event on the NBA's official Facebook page which had the NBA Finals as the Warriors facing the Cavs. The problem with that, as you probably know, is the Warriors still have to beat the Thunder in order to advance to the NBA Finals.

“I hear it, and it’s the most sensitive issue for me, and it goes to the core integrity of the league and frankly to my integrity,” Silver said Sunday on ESPN Radio. “Even from a business standpoint, it would be impossible to predict which Finals would have a greater following. It depends on how many games, how close the games are. I can only thus sort of swear to the world that we do the best we can and that we don’t prefer one market or one team over another.”
