Winner of NBA Finals is already written in stars

The NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors may come down to stars, and not just Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum, but also the stars in the sky.

After analyzing the zodiac signs of every NBA player and how they performed during the 2021-22 regular season, Astrology Zodiac Signs has made a prediction.

They predict the Golden State Warriors will win the NBA Finals. Here is why:

Pisces were the No. 1 sign this season, including Curry and Tatum: Pisces were the best on both sides of the ball. No. 1 in assists, defensive rebounds and steals, No. 2 in scoring and No. 3 in blocks. The stars have aligned accordingl­y with The Finals coming down to which Pisces star shines brightest.

Team Breakdown: Golden State is 17.7 percent Pisces, including three starters: Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, while Boston is 14.3 percent Pisces including two starters: Tatum and Marcus Smart.

Deciding personalit­y traits: Pisces are the most empathetic and compassion­ate sign but can be easily overcome by emotion. Curry is playing in his sixth Finals while Tatum is in his first. Therefore, Curry will handle his emotions better and will be the deciding factor.

Wild card: Of course, if Green, also a Pisces, lets his emotions get the best of him, and it leads to an ejection, all bets are off!

Trivia question

The Mets lost a game 13-12 on May 24 to the Giants. It was the first time in franchise history (since 1962) that the Mets lost a game while scoring 12 or more runs. How many such games did they win before that loss?

Bad way to go

Authoritie­s on Wednesday identified a man who died after investigat­ors believe he waded into a Florida lake inhabited by alligators to find Frisbees and other flying discs to sell.

Largo police said Sean Thomas McGuinness, 47, was found Tuesday morning at the Taylor Park lake by someone walking a dog. Although the exact cause of death is unknown, police said it was clear that McGuinness “suffered injuries related to alligators in the lake.”

That was where McGuinness would find Frisbees and other discs that he could resell.

It’s not clear if McGuinness was killed by an alligator or if one of the reptiles found him after he died.

He said it

From RJ Currie of SportsDeke.com: “According to Reuters, a Chinese farmer invented a zipline so his pigs literally fly from one truck to another. In a related item, the Maple Leafs had thought they might win this year’s Stanley Cup.”

Trivia answer

The Mets had been 180-0 when scoring at least 12 runs. Arizona and Tampa Bay are the only teams that have not lost a game when scoring 12 or more runs.
