The most dangerous place to be in these playoffs has
been at home, up by 15-20 points near the start of
the 4thQ. This is just silly.

The anemic Lets go Celtics cheer down 1 with
possession and 24 sec to play is pathetic.

Driving home yesterday i happened to hear Pierce talking big on Fox sports. He said he would walk 15 miles to the studio barefoot if the Celtics lost again.

He is not doing it barefoot but doing the walk of shame

Don't draft Queen because you can't win in the playoffs with guys like him and Randle.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

I hadn't scrolled ahead before hitting send last post. I'd like to say great minds agree, but I'm not in your stratosphere, doclinkin.

I'll just say I agree.

The key is that the Timberwolves have a true C in Gobert roaming the middle. Randle is a matchup problem for weaker PFs.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

SGA tried to lose the game down-the-stretch with his poor shot selection, but they won anyway

Cavs (early in 3rdQ) are making the Pacers outburst
against our kids seem typical.

The Pacers are really freaking good! I knew about their offense but I’m very impressed with their defense. Nesmith is nasty; Nembhard seems totally immune to screens; Turner and Siakam protect the rim; and McConnell is a pest.

Their core guys are locked in long term too. 23rd pick in the draft so they're gonna add another piece. We'll see what happens with Turner but they are here to stay IMO.
