Yeah I will admit I severely underestimated the lakers. I didn't pay close attention to them post trade deadline. Looking at all the teams in the west right now minus the suns and um..... yikes lol. Well hopefully that will be a problem to worry about later.

The Warriors series is far from over. I’d say its 50/50 and whoever comes out of it will be battered giving the Nuggets (unless they blow it) an advantage

Oh I know. I'm not one to ever count the warriors out. This should be a very exciting 6-7 game series. I'm just starting to strongly feel that the champions are coming out west this year. Unless the C's have something to say about that. Stay tuned on that one.

Last year the East playoffs were a bloodbath while the Warriors run to the Finals was a cakewalk. Wouldn’t be surprised if East wins it to be honest. Celtics should not let this opportunity slip away but I’m not confident, they aren’t playing high level basketball

I love how the lakers are making it a priority to stop curry, blitzing him when he’s coming off screens leaving Draymond open to minimal success because Draymond is a trash scepter yet our stupid ass team played drop coverage on him and Klay letting him get whatever shot he wanted in the finals. And the Celtics still do this stupid scheme right now against the hawks and Sixers which is killing time. **** annoying to watch other team play way better defense than the crap the Celtics do mainly scheme wise not talent.

For whatever reason, lebron teams slow down curry. Since 2014 they have slowed him down. Not to be confused with stopped. But its not curry that beats his team. Whereas steph killed us

Good PGs kill us. Curry is the best one in the game so that was by far the worst. But if you think about it, we struggled mightily against Haliburton, Brunson, Jrue, Lillard, Garland, SGA and in the playoffs Trae and Harden have had huge games against us. Its something that happens often and will keep happening

As that's a recurring theme, it's on the coaching staff to figure out a way to solve this problem. You have to scratch you head as to why this has been unsolved until now.

[Fierce1]

It was just last week I was told the Celts had the easier path to the finals compared to the Lakers.

Right now the Lakers are 1 game ahead of making it to the western conference finals.

What a shame if the Lakers advance and the Celtics don't.

[CelticFaninLBC]

Danny Ainge can **** off for reviving the Lakers. What a terrible trade.

[Ed Pinkney]

Not happy that I have to be hoping for the Warriors to be winning games of basketball. Hopefully they sweep the Lakers, which might give me back a little bit of the joy that the Celtics seem bent on sucking out of my soul at the moment.

The leagues not going to let a sweep happen, that's for sure.

Do you have any advice on this weeks Powerball numbers too?!?!

[The Corey's]

Worried about the Lakers lol.

C'mon now.

With this Jekyll and Hyde team yeah.

I've seen pg's kill great teams over the years. The lakers from the early 00s were murdered by pgs. But that's what they chose to give up. I know it's a different league 20 years later, but why can't we just pick our poison. Harden, curry, whoever can have 40, just don't let others hurt you. Maybe it's the lack of rebounding?

Denver gonna cake walk to the finals.

[aim2please]

Is it just me or are the refs deciding some of these games? Phoenix had 5 free throws, Denver 21. Lakers had 29 free throws, Warriors 6. This is absurd.

I didn't watch these two games, but Lakers free throws differential since that blown call (Tatum on Lebron) has been historic. 10 to 15 free throws more every game is like a cheat code.

For the most part of agree with you. But the warriors also took 50+ 3s, which means less driving which means letss fts. The disparity is legit ridiculous, but shooting that many 3s doesn't help

[London2Boston]

Lakers v Miami/Philly final may well be the worst of the worst. We got to wake up and prevent that.


Also of course Poole is trash now after hitting everything he took in the finals against us.

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

How strange it is, that the Lakers lacking a DPOY, seem to be able to contain Curry, whereas
the Celtics with their highly vaunted DPOY are always exploited by him...

[tfribs45]

C'mon now.

Lakers aren't getting past the Dubs. They wont be able to maintain the pace in a 7 game series. Props to them though for stealing game 1 and showing HEART!

All depends on if AD can hold up playing heavy minutes for a full series, because GS can't stop him.

Powerball has never been investigated by the FBI for fixing outcomes. The commissioner of Powerball never leaked the name of the FBIs informant to the press to kill the investigation. There's no further evidence that Powerball favors certain numbers over others.
