Shai Alexander belongs on that team. The kid is a fabulous playerNo surprise in the first team except for Shai Alexander of OKC. He is that good this year. Booker and KD did not make even the 3rd team.

as long as they don't ever become like Russ Westbrook who made the most money on the Lakers team and became "the scowl"And this is the new trend of contract negotiations. You get into the ALL NBA selection, 1st team or 2nd team, and you get a bonus, a BIG BIG Bonus.
Jaylen Brown got into the 2nd All-NBA team and is now eligible for whopping $295m 5 year deal this year!!! And Tatum got into the 1st All-NBA team and will be eligible for a $340m deal. That's more than half a billion dollars for the Celtics to fork out. Wow!
What is pertinent now is that if these 2 whoppers (as far $$$ is concerned) can secure a win tomorrow in Philly. Otherwise, they really achieved nothing.
IMO the drama to the series is that Steve Kerr has never lost a WC playoff series going back to the start of the dynasty. Should the GSW lose this series, one would have to proclaim the dynasty as "over"

Kendrick is quite a character. The human resources department of ESPN must have seen something in him when they first hired him. Indeed, his analysis of Game 5 is quite good.
This was the shot that ended the half and as I saw it go in with nothing but net, I know the Lakers were not going to win last night...He is such an amazing player
STEPH BEATS THE BUZZER TO SEND WARRIORS INTO HALFTIME
Steph beats the buzzer to send Warriors into halftime - ESPN Video
Steph Curry drains the 3-pointer as the halftime buzzer expires vs. the Lakers.
Perkins is overboard with his predictions however if Lakers beat GSW, he can say " see. I told you so"
He can make those shots blindfolded....probably the greatest pure shooter the league ever seen and so far there are no equals that I can see
This might be his first correct prediction.
You are right, Steve. I was worried when Tatum went ice cold in the first half, BUT the guy came back late in the 4th to bury 4 three balls! The adjustments that I wished Joe Mazulla would do happened and he started Robert Williams who ended up with 10 points and was a tough rim protector. This is the most played rivalry in the NBA, both teams met 22 times which started in the mid 60s when Wilt was playing for the Sixers, then on to the Bird/Dr. J era, then the Pierce/Iguodala era and now this. Game 7 will have as much dramatics as the Lakers Warriors series. This Philly team is a very good one, and there is teamwork and energy. They have the league MVP who is also the NBA scoring champ plus the assist champ in Harden. It is going to be one heck of a Game 7.
