Maria Sharapova gets a pass to the Round of 16 because Serena Williams will not play due to injury. Hopefully she will be back in time for Wimbledon.

NBA FINALS – Basketball
GAME 1
Warriors went into Game 2 being up 1-0 in the series after a dramatic Game 1 victory last Thursday night. They won in OT after the game was tied during regulation. If you haven’t already heard, at 107-107 with 4.7s left, George Hill missed his second free throw. JR Smith then got the offensive rebound and ran away with the ball to waste time because he seemed to have had a brain lapse and thought they were up.
The internet went into mayhem with memes last Friday especially after seeing a visually upset LeBron, who scored 51 points for nothing.
GAME 2
Cavs must have entered Game 2 last night feeling disheartened.
The benches were emptied in the final 3 minutes of the Cavs – Warriors game last night, because it was a wrap for Game 2. Warriors got the blowout win, 122-103.
A tired LeBron, poor Cavs defense and spectacular offense by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant gave Warriors the Game 2 win. It’s Dubs, 2-0 for the series before they head to Cleveland for Game 3 this Wednesday.
Curry scored 33 points and passed Ray Allen’s NBA record for most 3-pointers in an NBA Finals game with 9!
Stephen Curry has won MVP twice, but never won the Finals MVP. He surely seems like he is on his way to winning it this year though!
Here is you schedule after they head back to Cleveland.
***Suga thinks it is likely that the Cavs will win 1 at home and the Warriors will win in 5 at their house***
FRENCH OPEN – Tennis
Men
Rafael Nadal has been making it look on his way to possibly winning his 11th French Open title.
Former World no. 1, Novak Djokovic looks like he has the winning spirit again though and has been playing well.
Marin Cilic, Juan del Potro, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev are also still in it to win it.
Women
World no. 2, Caroline Wozniacki was upset by no. 14, Daria Kasatkina this morning, losing in 2 straight sets 6-7, 3-6 in the 4th round.
Simona Halep, Angelique Kerber, Sloane Stephens and GarbiĆĀ±e Muguruza are still in it to win it. Not to mention come back mom, Serena Williams who will face Maria Sharapova today at about 8:30am E.T.
Stay tuned!

.NBA FINALS – BASKETBALL
Dubs Versus Cavs Part 4 Starts Tonight!
Do the Cavs have a chance? I think they can get at least 1 win. The Warriors rise to the occasion as Champions and above the level of each opponent they meet, but they are not at their best right now, They have a lot to fix offensively and defensively. LeBron James is at his best ever though and can win a game with help from at least 1 or 2 members of his team. The Warriors would have to give up though or be extremely careless to let the Cavs take this Championship away from them, whether they are at the top of their game or not. They have Home court advantage too! Game over.
Schedule for the 1st 3 games:
FRENCH OPEN – TENNIS
Unseeded Serena Williams advanced to the 3rd round of the French Open with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over no. 17 Ashleigh Barty today. Halep, Sharapova and Muguruza also moved on to the 3rd round for the Ladies.
WORLD CUP – Football
The greatest show on earth begins Thursday, June 14! Who’s your team?!
Let Suga assist if you are not already a die-hardĆĀ Brazil or Argentina fan. The ball is round, but they are not going to the final this year!
Suga’s Picks!
1. Vive la France! – FRANCE
2. Ze Germans! – GERMANY
3. BELGIUM – The best team on paper!
Stay tuned!

Comments: Cellar 8 has not only made changes to their space with a Deck, but their staff and management as well. Courteous, enthusiastic staff and delicious food. Service time could have been quicker and quality of drinks could have been better. Cellar 8 has always been a bit overpriced, but is no longer the new ‘it’ bar and has lost a superb mixologist. They should probably consider reducing their prices so customers can feel they are getting value for money.
Suga’s Breakdown
I thought Cellar 8 would have been busier 3 Friday nights ago, but with the opening of new Bars such as the Sky Lounge, they seemed to have lost their Friday night buzz. However, members of their new staff wereĆĀ courteous and the presence and supervision of the new management was felt. Since it wasn’t a full night, I thought service could have been a bit quicker, but our server, Davion was quite attentive and kept us up to date.ĆĀ Drinks were decent, but the gifted hands of their mixologust, Milton Wisdom who is no longer there, were missed. The quality of food was good, but the wrong Pasta dish was served to my husband, Randy. We wondered if the Chef was trying to sneak in the wrong dish, since it was similar to what was ordered and we were not told that the desired dish was finished. Anyhow, it was replaced soon after with my husband’s secondary dish of choice that he still enjoyed.
We were about to call it a night, but we were smartly interrupted by a purposeful temptation of a trolley full of Dessert wheeled to us to choose from.
We couldn’t pass that up. So I had the Strawberry Cheesecake and Randy had the Chocolate cheesecake. Sumptuous!

Pure in Heart Ministries International (a non-profit religious organization) conducted their Pre-Labour Day Project two Saturdays ago at the Strathmore Children’s Home.
Strathmore Children’s Home is located in Spanish Town, St. Catherine and provides care and protection for children 13 years old and under.
Pastor Ryan prayed for the children and quality time was spent with them. Vision books were created based on a motivational talk given to them.
They were also given the tools to use their minds and creativity to decorate boxes with their names for storing inspiring and motivational quotes.
Projects like these often go unmentioned or unheard of because they may be considered trivial and are conducted by such selfless persons that are pure in heart and believe in service above self. However, they have a huge impact on those they have taken the time out to assist and these projects inspire others to make an impact and change as well.
Kudos to Pure in Heart Ministries International and their team for their charitable services. Our Children are our Future.

NBA PLAYOFFS:
EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
LeBron James makes it to his 8th straight NBA FINALS! He was sensational last night once again with 35 points in 48 minutes.
WHAT HAPPENED besides LeBron?
The Celtics missed too many shots in the last 4 minutes of the game. They lost their lead of the game in the 3rd and still trailed in the 4th after a good start in the 4th to tie the game. Kudos to rookie, Jayson Tatum who played extremely well. He scored the 2nd most points by a rookie in NBA Post Season history and was just 2 points away from the record. There was no Scary Terry though. He was 0 for 10 from the 3-point line! Celtics missed that firepower and their inexperience overall showed. LeBron and the Cavs capitalised on that to quickly jump to a 10-point lead.
CAVS won Game 7, 87-79.
Now that LeBron James has carried the Cavs to dominate a weak Eastern Conference, who will they meet in the West? As James peaks toward the end of his career, this NBA Finals will be his true test.
Rockets versus Warriors tonight in Houston for Game 7 at 8pm!
CP3 for the Rockets with a hamstring injury, Looney (toe) and Iguodala (knee) are still questionable for playing in tonight’s game.
Who will win?
Suga thinks it is a toss-up. Whoever wants it most will win, but Houston being at home with ringless leaders have the edge to win.
Stay tuned!
