New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

With the Bucks likely on their way out, IMO it only makes things easier for the Celtics to win the EC and go the rest of the way to win it all

First, get over Atlanta. Then Philly, which has the best center now plus a fit Harden. Then, Miami will be the final match up. Just like last year.

Miami has sleeping dragons who can wake up any night and do some scoring. Like Duncan Robinson who made 3 straight 3 balls last night. Lowry and Ola are dangerous still. And Spo is using three relatively unknown players - Martin, Vincent, and Strus with confidence. Hope he doesn't unleash the 42 year old Haslem.

Hawks crawled back and how trail only by 1 with 5 seconds left. C's were leading most of the way. Tough Hawks team.

 

[jadis]

Young just buried a way way out shot to have the Hawks up by 2. Wow.

 

[jadis]

Hawks win in Boston. 2-3. Still very much alive.

 

[jadis]

When players like Curry and Young shoots 3s from way way beyond the arc, there is no defense for that. Easily, those are 4 point shots.

I saw the game and was somewhat surprised but never sell Atlanta and Trae Young short. It was a very good game. I still have all confidence that the Celts will close them out.

Interesting that only one team has swept so far. it's a very competitive playoff. Right down to the play in was exciting

Yes, no team is to be taken lightly now. Home court is just a supposed advantage. They still have to play it out and win it over there. Maybe the C's new coach is still a bit 'new' in dealing with playoff pressures. That Atlanta rally in the 4th was fast and furious, caught the C's by surprise. And again, Tatum made a bad pass during crunchtime. Still careless after all these years.

Denver barely closes out the Wolves to advance

Booker just became all time leader with 30+ point games in playoff history.....17 surpassing Sir Charles who never won a ring himself

47 for Booker in a very close game however Suns prevail at the end to close out the Clippers


I really expect some changes on the Clippers team. I just don't think Lue is the coach for the job

He's got a 5 year contract from 2022. And his record is really not that bad considering Paul George and Kawhi did not play. He knows the team very well and that might be why Balmers will still retain him. Westbrook is now a free bird.

It was a matter of time, he showed he can coach. Houston hires Udoka to solve its problem.

I am truly happy for the guy. I liked him when he coached the Celtics but nepotism got in the way. I also like Mazzulla and happy he will be retained and equally happy for Udoka as he can hopefully transform a crappy Houston team

Big games tonight as the Lakers , Knicks and Miami look to close out their series with another big game between GSW and Kings but this one in Sacramento which is a must for the Warriors as I am sure they prefer to win game 5 and 6 rather than lose game 5 and have to win the last two games with game 7 being in Sacramento

This has been one of the most competitive playoffs that I have seen in years

 

[jadis]

Also noticed the prodigious points production of Butler, Trae Young, Booker, Fox and Curry in these playoffs. 35 to 52 points. Amazing but actually now quite normal as this is a shooting league, where 3s are as common as 2s and even encouraged by coaches. In the old days, Jordan and Bernard King would score 60 points and their teams lost. Now, these high scorers make their teams win.

The games are so exciting to watch. Did you see LeBron go psycho with his facial expression after he drained the basket to ice the game. My wife was watching and she said he looks possessed by the devil

That's why I don't watch him. My brain is now conditioned to erase him, his facial expressions included.

If Lakers win this series, I would have to think that the Vegas bookies will be rethinking their predictions. Watching the Suns close out the LAC last night told me they. can score a lot of points but their defense is too porous and I am still betting on Denver to win the WC but it sure is fun watching these games
