Zodiac Signs and the NBA Finals

The NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors may come down to stars. By that we mean 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 Steph Curry and Jayson 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 – Steph Curry or Jayson Tatum -- shines brightest.


·        Team Breakdown: Golden State is 17.7% Pisces including three starters: Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, While Boston is 14.3% 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 will be in his first. Therefore, we believe Curry will handle his emotions better and be the deciding factor.


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

Hotels.com Tells Us How Far NBA Fans are Willing to Travel 

An NBA Finals first, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors are meeting for a historic third time. 

Just for the NBA Championship. Hotels.com has compiled hotel room searches to see just how far fans are willing to go to see their team win the Championship Trophy.

Not surprisingly, the fans from each team’s home state were the most likely to search for hotels in Cleveland and Oakland, showing that everyone roots for their home team. California came out on top, however, with the most hotel searches than any other state.

The top states to search for Cleveland hotels were:

1.     Ohio

2.     New York

3.     Florida

4.     California

5.     Illinois

 

The top states to search for Oakland hotels were:

1.     California

2.     Texas

3.     Illinois

4.     Florida

5.     Nevada

Popular hotels in Cleveland include the Metropolitan at The 9 and the Clifford House, while the the Marina Inn and the Waterfront Hotel are fantastic options in Oakland.

Las Vegas is also a popular destination for fans of the NBA Finals. The Palms Casino in Las Vegas has the Hardwood Suite, featuring a full basketball court, professional locker room and NBA-sized fold out beds. The Hotel Beaux Arts in Miami and the hotel at The Los Angeles Athletic Club both feature full-size basketball courts.

For real basketball fans, The Legend of French Lick (in Indiana), is a former celebrity estate (guess who?) on 20 acres of lush green meadow in the countryside near West Baden Springs. There is a boutique hotel that sleeps up to 20 people and contains a common library, great room and kitchen. If you need more space, our sister property, the Comfort Suites, offers standard suites at group rates. Yes, there is a famous basketball court!

This basketball court has been featured in movies and commercials. Play in the day or night (upon request) and feel like a star! If basketball isn't for you, thats okay, they also have a tennis court.
