Dominating like no team ever has in the postseason, the Warriors look capable of anything — except another NBA Finals collapse. They take a 2-0 lead over Cleveland into Wednesday’s Game 3, just as they did last year. The Warriors actually had a higher victory margin through two games in the 2016 Finals, but they didn’t have Kevin Durant or a fully healthy Ste- phen Curry then. They do now and are playing much better basketball than this time last year. “As a team, I think so,” Thompson said. “I think we’re moving the ball great, we’re shooting the ball at a high clip and our defense has been unbelievable.” Somehow, the Cavaliers have to change all that. They did last year, coming home after losing the first two by a combined 48 points and beginning the turnaround with a 120-90 rout in Game 3. The opponent and the situation C M are the same, yet things feel Y K different. “That’s last year and I don’t even know the feeling any- more,” LeBron James said. “So I’m just mentally strengthening my mind and getting my mind ready and focused on what tomorrow’s going to bring, and so I look forward to it.” The Warriors committed 20 turnovers in Game 2 but simply shook that off with an NBA Finals-record 18 3-pointers in a 132-113 romp. It was the second time in the postseason they committed at least 20 turnovers, and yet they scored at least 120 points in both games. They are averaging nearly 119 points and winning by a record 16.9 per game in the Page B2 samoa news, Wednesday, June 7, 2017

RUSSO, AP College Football Writer Let’s go back to Sept. 18, 2016, the day after Michigan State defeated Notre Dame and the high point of what turned out to be the worst season for the Spartans in coach Mark Dantonio’s 10-year tenure. On that Sunday, though, life was good for Spartans fans. Michigan State was ranked No. 8 in the country and coming off a Big Ten title and College Football Playoff appearance. Dantonio was dominating the rivalry with Michigan. Spartans fans were, generally, the picture of contentment when it came to the state of their program and the competency of their head coach. Michigan State fans would probably have been at the top of any satisfaction rankings on Sept. 18. A 3-9 season and off-the-field issues can burn up a lot of good will.

Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren

MOM DOTES ON NEW BOYFRIEND AT THE EXPENSE OF HER KIDS

DEAR ABBY: My wife, “Rita,” and I separated a year ago. Our divorce is pending. The man she’s seeing, whom I believe she was cheating with before we split, has a violent criminal past. He has already cheated on Rita with his ex-girlfriend, the woman who had him locked up in the first place. Rita caters to him to the point that she ignores our kids. When he shows up, they often “retire” to the bedroom and my children are on their own for dinner. She even paid his bail when we were supposed to be saving for our daughter’s school trip, which meant I ended up paying her half. She is oblivious. She believes the kids want to spend time at my place only because there’s a game system here. Our daughter is slightly overweight, and Rita and I had agreed to make sure we keep up her self-esteem. I don’t think Rita’s behavior is helping in this area at all. My kids want him gone. They have expressed this to their mother, but she keeps making excuses to keep him around. They have told me she comes apart when he’s not there. Could she be terrified of being alone? Is it possible to make her realize how this is affecting our kids? Or am I making too much of all this? -- PERPLEXED IN MINNESOTA DEAR PERPLEXED: Your wife may have a severe fear of being alone, but if it’s true that she can’t function when he’s not there, there may be other emotional issues as well. Please understand that now that you are separated, you cannot dictate how often she sees this man, or in what room of the house. However, because she appears to be unable or unwilling to be present for her children when he’s there, consider having a calm, non-accusatory conversation with her about them staying with you “a while” -- a long while. She may surprise you and be open to it. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: A friend of a friend was looking for a weekend getaway. I offered my summer home to the couple at no cost. I love the place and spend all my summers relaxing there. They quickly accepted. I gave them the keys, they left for the weekend and she texted me to say they arrived. Two hours later, I received another text saying that they could not stay there because their allergies were really bad and they had to leave. I felt bad, but they were well aware of my two large, hairy dogs. I’m not a dirty person. Quite a few people come and stay at the summer house, and no one has ever left before. How should I react when I see them again? I thought I was doing something nice. -- FEELING BAD IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR FEELING BAD: You WERE doing something nice, and you should not take what happened personally. Some people are extremely sensitive to animal dander, which is what likely caused your guests to leave. It was in no way a criticism of your skills as a housekeeper. While you may have been able to remove all or most of the dog hair, you may have missed flakes from their skin that were imbedded in the upholstered furniture and which triggered the allergic reaction. Let it go, and when you see these people, treat them as you always have. samoa news, Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Wednesday, June 7, 2017 ONOSA’I
