With Mitchell out, they're pretty done.

 

LeLakers winning the Title though, right?

 

 

Man the Pacers had Game 1 but blew it. Mavs though

 

Celtics move on.

 

I will be happy to see Kyrie win a ring. Buck Foston!

 

Kinda wish the T-Wolves came back. Not a Cuban fan nor a C's fan.

 

I didn't agree with everything Bill Walton said but I truly respect how much he loved and appreciated life. He lived an amazing life and was totally aware of it and grateful. I'm reading some great stories in the link below and my eyes are stinging a little bit

Welp

 

Going to be a good Series. I hope it goes 7.

Luka/Kyrie vs Tatum/Brown/Holiday and the shitty fans will be worth watching.

 

I haven't been follow the east but apparently Boston played against teams (in the playoffs) that all had key players NOT at 100% or completely sat out due to injuries.
I think this finals might be going to Dallas

 

LeLakers in 3.

 

Joking aside, just want a long series. Boston probably wins it in 7?

 

Yes, round 1 was Milwaukee where Giannis didn't play a single minute, Lillard didn't play the last 2 games due to reinjuring his achillies, Middleton was gone game 1 and 2 I think.

Round 2, Cavs were down Mitchell and Porzingis I believe, plus others. (didn't watch that series)

Round 3, Haliburton was injured. Not sure how many games he played.

If Dallas stays healthy, it won't be easy for Boston but I think they have a good shot. I do want Dallas to win tho!

 

I think Boston yet again has one of the easiest routes to the NBA Finals by taking on teams that are barely healthy?

 

7.5 months later and they still look good............

 

Congrats, Boston.



LeLakers will win this Title in 9.

 

Congrats Jrue on your second Championship! Fuck Boston! Seeing JT snubbed for Finals MVP was great. You know deep down he is pissed!

Bucks in 6 next year!

Lock this shit!

 

Not surprised on this as well. Expect we will see the Panthers close out the cup in similar fashion tonight. That half court shot though was something else.

 

Are Bucks fans pissed they traded Jrue ultimately for Dame?

 

Some are some aren't. I am on the fence, only because Dame really didn't produce the numbers I thought he would. Lets see what a full year with him and what a summer of team building does next year. He was also going thru a transition to the dump we call Milwaukee, away from his kids and a divorce. I don't think he was mentally all there last year. Don't get me wrong he is a stellar player, but to give up a solid defensive player for another offensive player when we already had the Freak, Middleton, Portis, Beasley, Connaughton and a couple others was a hard pill to swallow. He will have to prove, to me, that it was worth the trade.

The day Jrue was told he was traded, he tweeted out, that morning, he would love to be a lifer in Milwaukee. So for that I am happy he went to a contending team and won another ring. Milwaukee did him dirty.

 

Off-season thread started. But, we'll keep this open for a bit more.

 

Dame isn't very good defensively and the old adage that defense wins championships continues. That said, we really don't know what the Bucks really are because Giannis wasn't very healthy this year and so, the playoffs was basically lost. That's like asking the Celtics to win without Tatum in regards to impact. I expect if the roster has a bit of luck and is healthy next year, they'll give the Champs a run for their money.

If OKC learns from this year's lessons, they may make some noise.




I'm just glad it was not Lakers or Suns.

 

 

they chose to party here before their parade

 

More championship swag.
