The Cavaliers vs. Warriors was expected to be a major game on Monday night, not only as a rematch of the 2015 NBA Finals but also because the Cavaliers were healthy this time with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love back in the lineup.

The game was pretty much over early with Stephen Curry sitting out the 4th quarter after dropping 35 points in the first three. Iguodala hit the bench too after dropping 20 points on 7/8 shooting from the field. The game got so boring Iggy ended up taking a nap.

There was one obvious name missing from the letter, Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 overall draft pick selected by the Cavaliers whom many considered the next LeBron when he was in high school. For many it solidified that Wiggins would be traded and he eventually was for Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now some 18 months later, LeBron finally explains why he left Wiggins out.
