Derrick White looks like the bad guy from Sin City. Should have kept that little bit of hair he was trying to hold onto.

I turned it on midway through the first quarter and was immediately thinking "oh, they must want to win it in Boston". :lol:

Celtics finish 5th in point differential all time. All those teams won titles including the 2016-17 Warriors, 1995-96 Bulls, 1971-72 Lakers, and the 1970-71 Bucks.

Congrats to the Celtics. But maybe the worst Finals I've ever watched

Anyone here see the WNBA Lynx/Liberty Championship series? Supposedly the officiating was horrific and they gave the game to NYC, true?

I did, and it was horrible. With the home team Liberty down two and the clock about to expire, Breanna Stewart dribbled into the lane. She stopped and clearly shuffled her feet with no travel called. Worse, she awkwardly drove into a player whose arms were raised vertical. Foul!

The referees gifted Stewart with the two free throws to tie the game that then went into overtime. Prior to that, they allowed a lot of physical contact which favored the bigger Liberty.

Free throws: New York 21/25 Minnesota 7/8

This game was pretty much fixed.

Found a clip, egregious non-call on the travel.

And Edey fouled out in 15 minutes of play. I mean, I guess they're not going to be light on the whistles in the regular season anymore but damn Zach lol.

Oof, nervous debut

Getting Fultz vibes from Mikal Bridges, and the Knicks tough nosed identity seems completely gone with the roster shakeup. Hopefully I'm just being overly pessimistic, because I wanted to see them be a match for Boston this post season.

They made 1 too many moves with the KAT trade. Should have come in with the team they had and then pivoted if needed.

Yeah the NY fans were all in on that team. If this fizzles the fans will be so deflated.

They gave up 5 1st round picks for Bridges, 4 unprotected. These are actual picks, not pick swaps. Very risky move.
