The Celtics are the best roster in the league but their stars are streaky and Mazzulla is not very good. I’m not optimistic if the Heat have to play the Celtics but one thing the Heat excel at is defending wings which helps against Tatum and Brown

The 6ers are the easier matchup because I feel like if you can slow down Embiid, it just depends on how Harden is playing

Lebron is only there because of the glamour of LA (and also so he can increase his marketing reach). AD is only there because Lebron is there

they’ve been a poorly run organization post-Kobe but have benefitted from their status and location. They’re as compelling as the Yankees or Cowboys are


I’ll admit that Lonnie Walker going off was pretty cool (other than the fact that I have a series bet on the Warriors) but Lakers fans are probably the most spoiled in all of sports because of how much players want to play there. Even the Yankees haven’t been as lucky with getting alltime greats leaving their original franchise to join them (Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron and AD)
well yeah lebron isnt an idiot and anyone would put themselves in the same position to maximize their short term and long term earning potential. and well yeah AD isnt an idiot, this is NBA now

Did MIMH just say that Kobe left his original franchise to join the Lakers? Yes, yes he did.

lol I’ll admit, I misremembered that situation. I thought Kobe had demanded a trade to LA but that doesn’t seem to be the case; the Hornets and Lakers agreed to the trade their pick before the draft ever happened and the Lakers directed the Hornets to draft Kobe

I admittedly forgot that Lebron and AD won a championship a few years ago.

crazy that there’s a realistic possibility of a 7 vs 8 seed finals. That never happens in the sport

Paying very little attention to the NBA, but I thought the Lakers and Warriors were bad this year. Was it more that Lebron and Curry are on regular season cruise control at this stage in their careers?

Lakers had some injury trouble in the regular season. And they also had Russ for most of it

Every time I watch the Lakers I'm surprised how little of the offense involves LeBron. It's not like the old days where he dominates the ball. Plenty of role players in that offense get looks.

Boston will never win a title with Tatum. Dude is garbage.

0-10 from the field with one point in the first half. They are still winning by 7

sometimes the scheduling in this league makes my head spin. if the two series in the West go 7 games, then Sunday will have three game 7s. There won’t be any games on Saturday


that’s very annoying, especially since it’s Mothers Day

Amazing how Tobias Harris escapes criticism after every no show. Dude is stealing making $37 million a year.
