At ESPN, Uni Watch’s Phil Hecken reviews the Cavs’ new jerseys, or at least the two that were released yesterday. In the post, you can see last year’s jerseys as compared to last year’s versions. One passage of note:

VICE’s Michael Pina makes the case for LeBron James to sign with the Rockets next summer. Even if you disagree, you’ll find it interesting to consider.

This is from last week, but SI’s Rob Mahoney examines how the Russell Westbrook-Paul George partnership will work.

Lastly, here’s a 14 minute video on Sunday’s Game of Thrones episode that details that amazing final battle.
