Celtics chucked 60 3s vs. Knicks.

Is that more respectable?

A Laker fan rooting for the Celtics to win a title should result in a life sentence without the possibility of parole in San Quentin.

Celtics still favored to win this series even being down 0-2. They better pull a win out of their ass on this next one in New York.

Unless New york can guarantee a series win over anyone coming out of the putrid (the four west teams remaining) West.
Then I dont care.

Ugh...just can't stand this playoffs dragging out I wish the Knicks or pacers just come out and wipe out whoever hobbles out of the west. I really wished Clippers would have done some justice to us not being in it but whatever.


This is what I want. ..

Knicks v pacers > whoever is better.

Okc v mcnugz > can both teams lose in the same series? Come on basketball gods, find a way that both teams LOSE here.

Minn v gsw > minn (least of all evils)

Minn by default to get rattled by Knicks.

Profit

I would go with Minnesota, due to having the best player. But that NY trade with Minnesota would be very intriguing

NBA loves the Lakers. Now the final part of the Luka trade is complete tonight with the Draft Lottery.

Mavs had 1.8% chance to land the top pick. So it's actually AD and Cooper Flagg for Luka, maybe not as bad for Dallas, a top-10 market.

What a rig job.

I mean statistically kinda hard to argue with it. Cooper and AD is a haul and could be a laker problem if AD can sandbag until playoffs

Basketball gods make this happen:

Okc beat mcnugz
Minn beat gsw

Minn beat okc

Knicks/pacers beat minn

That would bring sunshine to this world if it isn't going to be Lakers.
