Win game 1. One game at a time.

That's from a previous season. (I actually noticed somebody chubby enough to be Grant Williams on the far side of the court before I noticed the more obvious tell on Derrick White's head.)

KC had one of the most dubious inclusions in the HoF as a player and one of the most dubious exclusions from the HoF as a coach.

I just hope we don’t get their versions of Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins where they have the series of their lives and revert to mean right after. Still got PTSD of that ****.

If that happens then it only means a longer series.

Might go to a Game 7 if that's the case.

Just wondering if fans from both teams would be more excited if the Finals is moved to June 13.

Nick Wright is the one that pisses me off the most. Picked Dallas in 5 that **** turd bag loser.

Boston better not choke this damn series out man. We are the better **** team.

Nick and Skip are obviously doing it to be the guys that rile up viewers. It's good for their schtick and viewership. But Bucher is just an idiot. He stopped trying to be an NBA insider years ago, because he didn't know anything.

If Sam shows signs of early shooting struggles again in the Finals, Joe should immediately switch to Svi.

Nick will have to change his name to Nick Wrong if the Cs win the chip.

I think we win if we single Luka and make sure they don't have open corner 3s. Luka averaging 35 ppg is okay, can't give up 3s and easy oops.

Wait from end of ECF to the start of Finals is 5.25x longer than the last championship!

But it's going to be worth it!

This wait is killing us fans. But it's good for KP to rest up, keep rehabbing and shake off the rust.

Good for old Al too.

The Mavs don't have anyone in their rotation who's as old as Al..or coming off an injury (like KP) so the extra days off certainly benefit Boston more.

That's great news.

Last time the Cs got a finals sweep was back in 1959.

Do we start KP or try to slowly work him in game one?
