White and Holiday will be tough for Kyrie, and don't be surprised if Holiday draws the Luka assignment at times. The only thing is I don't think the Celtics have anyone to deal with the rim running threats of Gafford and Lively.


Yeah. Agree on both counts. I think they'll try everyone on Luka including Holiday who's a very versatile defender. The worst decision Philly's process Hinkie made trading him for peanuts. Imagine him still there in that backcourt LOL.

Imagine the '19 Raptors had to go up against Simmons Butler and Holiday instead of Redick?


LOL no don't. That's a nightmare!!!. We'd never have THE SHOT.

Props to Luka and Kyrie, they are a hell of a tandem. 72 points on 49 shots is something else.

They really play the howling until the bitter end.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

This is a successful season for the Timberwolves. I hope years from now they aren’t bashed for not winning the championship this season after making improvements
