Ratings through the roof if it's Lakers vs. Celtics in the finals.

Also, McCollum has been an absolute zero. Negative even. Pels need him to play well.
Right now he looks like laundry.. Watched up..

Lakers winning this isn't a bad thing. They'll face Denver which is the toughest matchup out west, and probably get knocked out first round. On the off chance they defeat Denver, that knocks out the Celtics toughest rival. Win/Win. Although it would be funny to see the lakers get bounced from the playin too
Edit: horrible missed layup by lebron. he lookin OLD out there

Alvarado >>>> McCollum. Good for Willie Green putting in the guy that actually helps them.

On top of mccollum being an offensive disaster he is always a defensive disaster. One of those players clearly built for the regular season not the Post season.
And peyton pritchard is a better defender than he has ever been. Just saying..

I probably mentioned it before but my older son was jose alvarado's mentor and trainer..
And i've watched alvarado many times in high school.. As my son would say in true new york city fashion, He is totally fearless and does not give a **** about anything.. It is amazing that he can play in the NBA level despite being only five ten with a soso jumper.. But he literally makes so many things happen..

zion can be mad but it seems fake to me because he's not getting himself physically where he needs to be. if you see you keep getting injured why not go harder doing preventative stuff like lessen the load. some people are naturally bigger than others but zion isn't just that.
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)

Sadly that has been his knock since he came into this league.. You remember when he blew out his sneakers while playing for duke? Of course he blamed the sneakers.. Yet I don't remember any other player ever doing that.. His weight is Is clearly too high..

Been very true in the past but the penny seems to have dropped this year and has lost 25 pounds in last few months and apparently his attitude has been excellent. Sure he needs to understand he should have started earlier but I do get the frustration.

Speaking of laundry and being washed up, Klay Thompson better not be resigned by the warriors.. Golden state needs to start building around Kuminga and Moses Moody and stop trying to play Legends.Who are way past their prime. The only one golden state should have loyalty to is Steph Curry.. Not sure about draymond green to be honest..

Where were these warriors 24 months ago? dammit.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

So who are we trading for -- Curry or Giannis? Two disgruntled stars after early postseason exits.
