New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Unicorn is practicing now. 3 point shot is good, to draw out the twin pogo sticks of Dallas. :D

 
Unicorn averaged 20 ppg and 8 rebounds in the regular season. Big help to the C's cause.

Luka to Snoop - priceless :cool: :D
 
Big layoff for both teams to get healthy

Im still picking Celtics in 6 BUT if it goes 7 I think I am having to take the Cavs UNLESS a healthy Przingis is back on the floor....He could be the unknown in this series

I feel KP should Play in Game 1 but off the bench . No need to let him do the jump ball . :D
 
Tons of talk shows in the meantime . Charles for C's . Shaq for MavS . He said C's don't have any players to guard Luka and Irving .

No team in these playoffs have been able to guard them. Celtics are more seasoned of a team but they haven’t shown that killer instinct that the Mavs have. Maybe they are just too good. However they are an older team and I wonder if they can keep up with the fast pace of the Mavs. That’s why I’m calling Celtics in 6 or Mavs in 7

I see a lot of analysts heralding the the greatest dynamic duo ever in Luka and Kyrie and it's like there is no need to stop the 2 J's. Tatum naturally gets the flak for being a pretender. The $600m men don't exist. :D

a good comparison to what we have all been discussing

Celtics-Mavericks: Which duo will perform best in NBA Finals?

Tatum and Brown or Doncic and Irving? Breaking down which superstar pairing is poised to dominate the NBA Finals.

Meanwhile, curiosity led me to peek at a box seat price in Game 1 at the Garden.

That's about $17,500.

And a Row 5 seat near the court side costs $10,000. Not that I want to attend. :D

I think folks are looking in the wrong place to analyze this matchup. Boston has two of the best defenders in the league at the guard position: Holiday and White, and only if/when they get beat do the rotations result in Brown or Tatum being on Irving or Doncic. This series will be won in the trenches of the defenders. It has to be when you have at least four players capable of going off for 50. As a lifelong Knicks fan, I'm not invested in the outcome, but I AM looking forward to watching because the individual matchups are perfect.

rward to watching because the individual matchups are perfect.
Agree. All I see in media is how these 2 Dallas duo cannot be stopped, at all. It's like another Jordan or Bernard King scenario wherein they really cannot be controlled to lower than 30 points in a game, And with the Dallas duo, that can simply just happen. Only a few will bank on the Jrue/Derek tandem as a defensive for because both are leaner and shorter than Luka. If Luka starts the first quarter with a barrage of 3s from the logo, there is no defense against that. Law of averages will prevail. Boston has not made the 3 ball its bread and butter so far. If it does, it will be another 3 point shootfest. I'm hoping they don''t.
 
I think (hope it will be a close series and that every game will be exciting and not a blowout for one team or the other), As for me, I just love the game and marvel at the speed, agility and greatness of all of these teams. Im a Lakers fan for well over 40 years and have no pony in the game but may the best team win. As for Celtics not being a great 3 point team, I beg to differ. With a healthy Porzingis, they will be tough to beat. I still say Celtics in 6 but if a game 7 the youth of the Mavs just might outlast the Cetics

reading this story makes me want to throw up.....to think the Lakers will draft Ronny in order to keep LeBron makes me wonder how capable Jeannie Buss is in her management of the Lakers. Seems she wants to sell tickets and make money for her shareholders and if the coach can't win a title in 2 years he's out the door.

heaven help us if we have to watch this father and son play together because that is the wish of "The king"

good news for the Celtics......

Kristaps Porzingis says 'plan right now' is to suit up for Game 1 vs. Mavs

Kristaps Porzingis says he's 'done everything needed' to get in playing shape to suit up in the NBA Finals.

Ever since KP arrived this season, I have been thrilled that he expressed great desire to play in Beantown. Seeing him play for the Celtics in the Finals and hopefully win a title will be the icing on the cake.

The Feb trade for PJ Washington with Charlotte was also masterful. Among other things. he has a ''passive' celebration after a conversion. Two arms folded on is chest and saying nothing. :D
 
I don''t know how the refs will handle ''taunting'' gestures in the Finals. There was one instance where Jaylen Brown just looked at the opponent after a score, and was T'd up. And then the world saw how Luka was using the 'eff''ing' word for a long time against Gobert after that game winning 3. But, he claims he was talking in Slovenian so the refs couldn''t give a T. :D

To me, such act of tying his service to force teams to draft is son is utterly abominable. A league is about parity and fair play with regards to rules and we know why , Silver protects him. So what's next is that the if the Lakers drafted Bronny, is the contract going to say that the Lakers PLAY him? We know many drafts picks languish on the bench for a few years. Word is out that Reddick has the blessing of LeBron, so Reddick will be compelled to play Bronny under any circumstances. This is now a video game in reality.
