According To The "Times Of Israel" The Warriors Are Screwed Because An Ancient Bible Verse Predicts A Cleveland Championship

A quote from the Biblical book of Samuel has some wondering whether a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball championship was foretold thousands of years ago. The verse from I Samuel 18:22, first pointed out by Israeli journalist and humorist Hanoch Daum, appeared to show that David Blatt, the Cavs’ successful Israeli-American coach, enjoyed the favor of the king (LeBron James, of course) and the team, and would lead the team to victory.

The beginning of the biblical verse, which Daum quoted in his Facebook post, reads: “Speak with David privately and say: See, the king is fond of you, and all his servants love you.”

Or in Hebrew: ????????? ???-?????? ??????? ??????, ?????? ????? ????? ?????????, ?????-???????? ?????????

The beginning of the verse reads: “Dabru el David balat” — balatmeaning “privately” or “discreetly.” In modern Hebrew, which is read without vowels, the word could also be read as “Blatt” — the surname of the Cavs’ beloved head coach. In this reading, the verse could be rendered: “Speak to David Blatt privately and tell him: See, the king [referring to renowned Cavs’ forward LeBron James] is fond of you, and all his servants [referring to the other team members] love you.” The actual context of the verse has nothing to do with basketball, though.

…

So everything I said about this series being a bunch of 50/50 games and if Kerr can get his head out of his ass the Warriors can still win this thing? Forget it, forget it all. The Cavs have the Bible on their side, they have a book from thousands of years ago predicting David Blatt will raise the Larry O’Brien trophy. It sucks to get beat by Lebron, I know, I’m a Bulls fan, but you have to imagine it takes a little sting out of it knowing it wasn’t your fault, that God just wanted Cleveland to get a Championship as far back as 3 thousand years ago. It says it right there, the King, King Lebron of course. Dems Da Breaks Golden State, maybe next year (check the Bible first though).

Oh and goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway, Religion is fucking weird.
