The Row

This year’s 12th Annual LAWineFest has moved to trendy downtown LA and presents hundreds of wines and brews from around the world. The Fest also offers attendees a chance to mix and mingle with lifestyle exhibitors and delight in dozens of gourmet nibbles. There is artisan merchandise for sale, music, and a super chill vibe. What better place to find the perfect gift for dad?

Held at The Row this year, the event is sure to sell out, with plenty of space to host over 1000 wine enthusiasts and DTLA’s best sommeliers. We think the only thing missing from LAWinefest is the chance to do it all again the following weekend.

The Back 9: Shroud dad in political controversy and give him a chance to do what most dads love...play miniature golf... Well, maybe not most dads, but hey at least one dad out there is gonna love this. Seems there’s a new plan being written by the City Planning Department, making claims that it will make Skid Row a “walkable community” by creating market rate housing on 5th, 6th & 7th Streets. The Back 9 looks at the issues, mechanisms, hidden assumptions, and the consequences of said proposed plan. Thanks to the creative minds of LA Poverty Department you and dad can putt your way around artist Rosten Woo’s, ”DIRE-rama” of City structures and public policy played out in private by the rich and powerful. Open to the public through October. Before you golf however, don’t forget to load up on vitamins and minerals at Juice Crafters. You’’ll need plenty of stamina for the course and B12 to help wrap your mind around the issues.

The 9th Annual L.A. Beer Week is here so don’t be afraid to take dad out early this year because on Saturday, June 17th, LA Center Studios and LA County Brewers Guild will be bringing the heat with an awesome festival featuring 90 independent craft breweries, live music, great local food, games and more!

You and dad can sing along to familiar tunes, “Big Girls Don’t Cry, and Walk Like a Man”, and so many others in this seamless production of lights, chirography and music. What gift can be better than seeing one tremendous play? Season tickets!

This Week In Sports Warriors Win NBA Title Name Durant MVP

Durant was spectacular over the five games of the series, scoring at least 30 points in every single game while averaging 35.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 blocks.

One year after their infamous Finals collapse, this “Superteam,” is poised to be the next great NBA dynasty with no end in sight.

Still, questions linger about the weight and meaning behind Durant’s first NBA Title. After all, he left the Oklahoma City Thunder right after the Warriors eliminated them in the Western Conference Finals last year.

The notion is frankly ridiculous, Durant and the Warriors melded from the onset, the transition was seamless. One could make a very strong case Durant’s achievement was even more impressive than him capturing the NBA Title alongside Russell Westbrook.

Durant’s detractor’s argument is hollow, every NBA dynasty has been a, “Superteam” to some degree. For instance, the 80’s Showtime Lakers were pretty exceptional, dare I say super?

Dear Clipper Nation,

The hot rumor is LeBron is eying another NBA team, the Los Angeles Lakers! His contract expires in 2018, and he was cryptic after the Finals defeat.

King James, the native son of Akron, Ohio, already delivered the city of Cleveland its first professional sports title in over 54 years, perhaps donning the iconic Purple and Gold is his next step, he has a penchant for abandoning his empire he left Cleveland to join the Miami Heat in 2010, only to return to the Cavs in 2014.

As juicy and explosive as this gossip is, it remains highly doubtful. His reputation, sustained a blow when he departed Cleveland the first time.

In addition, playing in the limp Eastern Conference, James has a clear path to the NBA Finals and a far greater chance of winning another NBA Title.

Ask yourself: Will LeBron truly leave Cleveland only to meet the Golden State Warriors earlier in the Playoffs?

Also, the Western Conference is stacked with talent, so the move will not make James’ journey any easier.

Is this the greatest NBA team ever? Time will tell, but this title is about vindication, and relief for a squad that proudly hoisted the Larry O’Brien Title, after the agony, these Warriors endured last season.

a letter from steve ballmer

T

he Golden State Warriors captured their second NBA Title in 3 years in front of their loyal fans at Oracle Arena, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 5, 129-120 on Monday, June 12th. Kevin Durant earned Finals MVP, unanimously, leading DUB Nation with 39 points on 14 of 20 shooting from the field.

The only difference, rather than owners and other GM’s callously building these “Super-Teams”, the players decide their team and have taken rightful control of their NBA future.

The Warriors finished off the Playoffs with an outstanding 16-1 mark, an NBA record. In the process, these Warriors found redemption and didn’t squander this 3-1 edge.

Steph Curry bounced back from a dreadful Game 4, to torch the Cavs for 34 points and 10 assists. Durant weathered the criticism ever since his shocking announcement to join Golden State on July 4, 2016.

Andre Iguodala added 20 points off the bench, the Warriors outscored the Cavs bench, 35-7. This is the organization’s fifth NBA Title.

The Cavaliers weren’t going down without a fight.

Jumping out to an early 41-33 lead, prior to the Warriors erupting for a 17-point free for all. The Cavaliers cut the lead to 3 points in the fourth quarter, but never got any closer.

LeBron James led all scorers with 41 points, to go along with 13 rebounds and 8 assists. The King falls to 3-5 in his NBA Finals career, yet he couldn’t have done anymore. Averaging a triple double with 33.6 PPG, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

Kyrie Irving scored 26 points, but the depth is lacking for the Cavs. J.R. Smith scored 25 points, but no one else, certainly not Kevin Love showed up. The Cavaliers will be forced to retool this summer, difficult changes must be made.
