Grats to you too! I watched the Cs game first, then caught the rest of the Raptors game. Nice to see Scotty back. If VanVleet is not 100% on Thursday, he should sit out again.The team played great without him.
It was very satisfying to see Dragic's team lose. So much for his comment that he had "higher ambitions" than playing for the Raptors. I know we aren't winning a ring this season, but we are STILL playing and his team is OUT! #smugsatisfaction

So of the modern "super" teams...it's just Cali teams that pulled it off? Who am I missing? Just lakes and gs?
I also can't stand Dragic...since he and sasha vujacic had old homeland beef back in the kobe gasol days....guy seems like an ass...was really happy we didn't add him when there was talk of it....he is better than who we had but should never wear our colors after the Sasha stuff imho ...(he would have been an upgrade no doubt)

I don't know when the modern "super team" era started but what about the Miami Heat when LBJ, Chris Bosch and Dwayne Wade played together?

No amount of PEDS in his system could get LeBron to drag his shit show of a team into the playoffs.
Now that conspiracy pushing moron Kyrie is gone.
I'm now rooting for James Harden and CP3 to lose.

Boston, heat. Honestly most the "super teams" the Lakers had failed recently. Malone, Payton, Howard, Nash....

Brooklyn has the worst teammates. Glad they're out. Simmons and Kyrie deserve each other.

Well, that's the season over then. Pretty good showing overall, 48 wins, 2 in the playoffs. Until next year!

I'm not a superstitious fella. But I did pull my C flag and put it up in the living room and pull a secret Santa gift (Celtic throw blanket) from Pillar Girl from so long ago I don't remember, washed it, and placed it on one of the chairs. Up until Sunday, I was really confident, but after G's showing, their d, and all of their shooting (Holliday stunned me), I started thinking I'd be pulling them down well before I want to. I get so fucking nervous during these series. Onward.
On a side note, I started the Magic doc on Apple TV yesterday. Poor Cookie. He was a real self-absorbed attention seeking child.

You have to dye your hair green like Marcus Smart too, SR.
Great game for the Cs last night! You guys led for the entire game. I was briefly concerned when the lead shrunk to about 14 in the last 6 minutes. Saturday is going to be brutal. Giannis looked really pissed off.

Maybe. I was laughing the other day...long story short, my car is in the shop so I am using a company car. It has a sunroof and I looked in the rear view and the sun hit it. I am 90% grey.
Green might work.
Agreed on Saturday. Bloodbath

The reason I said I dont think the bucks will repeat is because I feel like this is a season where some players want to win so bad they wont be stopped like chris paul or jimmy butler or the celtics.

Game 5 and all that comes with it
Was surprised that the Bucks are 5.5 point faves. Hopefully that serves as motivation.

No Ja, up by 55? I tuned in just past the midway point in the 3rd and it was 100-50 or something. I looked for Saban but couldn't find him.

Grats!! On to the next round against Miami!
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the game today but kept checking the score.

Rooting for the Celtics. Tatum is a St. Louis kid and proudly reps the city.

On a day and a half rest with travel, but, we had rest for the Bucks and tanked game 1
. Thank! Really relieved to be past Milwaukee for all the obvious reasons. As objectively as I can be, we really outplayed them and are the better team. Miami is a concern; they remind me of the Pats...just a machine, but I like the matchups a lot more and Williams 3 will likely see time. 18 is a real possibility.
