Can someone put Brown and Tatum face on them. In my preference Tatum as Omar and Brown as brother Muson :lol: .

Can't wait for the moment when Brown will ask for trade. None of them want rais their kids there, LA or NY will be my bet.


Please don't quote my posts from another board on this one. I'd post on this one if I wanted to.

Congrats to the rest of you.


Thx for being good sport :lol:


All good, man. I have spent the last week supporting Kyrie and writing love letters to your team as you beat half of ours. Having actually been involved in playoff rivalries in the last 20 years with this RGM technology, I think the cross-quoting function here is kinda suck. I have to risk a ban to even reply to you. Link it, but don't quote me.

Bucks may have something for you, but I think you cruise to a title if you stay healthy. Spacing is too good on offense, and your big 3 is too dynamic on that side of the floor. Tell me who your opponent's 3rd best defender is, and I will tell you who is going to have a real bad day. With your big 3 only playing like 7 games together this year, this series was just the tip of the iceberg on seeing that. Boston was undermanned and overmatched, but I think it will all become much more apparent when you guys are playing teams without our array of on-the-ball defenders.

Off topic, but A&E has been running Biographies of old wrestlers every Sunday. They just did one on Mick Foley. The bumps he took vs Undertaker in their Hell In A Cell match still give me chills.

I haven't watched wrestling in about 20 years now, but man, the fans today who never got to watch that match in real time have no idea how insane that was for a mainstream wrestling PPV.

You haven’t watched AEW!?

They just signed Mark Henry for their 2nd brand show for color commentary. That company is making pro wrestling fun again. I never ordered a PPV in 10 years and I decided to do it. So much future superstars there. WWF vs WCW era is back.

Nah man the mods here Rich and Nyce are fair (i can attest to that, with all of the headaches I've caused them over the years with my bad mouth lol) and good guys in general. as long as the conversation isn't crazy or derails the thread I doubt they would come at you just for posting on here especially since you were cross quoted :lol: .

That's high praise from a Celtics fan. I am a concerned about the Bucks' size and length for us when we have to defend them, but we are going to score on them. That's a given. We just need to make sure that their 2nd and 3rd options don't kill us. I could care less if Giannis is given wide open threes and mid rangers, but if we can limit Middleton and Holiday I think that will upend Milwaukee.

Honestly I have not.

I used to love wrestling especially the days of WWF, WCW, and ECW (I legit would stay up til 2am to watch it). But I kind of lost my love for it when Owen Hart died, it started to make me look at Vince McMahon in a really negative light. Eventually once WWE bought WCW I pretty much lost interest after the initial hype and I never went back.

The only thing closest to following wrestling I've done in recent memory is watching that Divas show they had on E! awhile back because of hot Naomi and Paige are :nod:

I gave up on the Vince McMahon product like 12-15 years ago.

AEW is honestly the best thing going right now. Pro wrestling is coming back alive. They just have a 2021 WCW/WWF attitude era vibe about them. They are legitimately a threat to the future of WWE. They also are starting to pull better ratings than Raw and SmackDown.

Their entire all around roster is stacked from Chris Jericho, Sting, Jim Ross, Jake the Snake, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Tony Schiavone, Rhodes Family is still calling matches, Big Show is there now as a commenter, Tazz is there as a commentator and heel manager and now they just added Mark Henry as a color commentator and Vickie Guerrero (Eddie’s wife) is also a heel manager for their Women’s Division.

That was clinical in the 4th, we closed them out with 3 minutes of scary hours. I think that is the formula, we aren't the biggest team but we need to scrap and claw as a team for the first 3 quarters to make teams really feel us, then in the 4th the big 3 WILL close. I don't really like the idea of relying on 140-130 shootouts against better teams if we want to win a title. Now the real test begins...


On a sad note, no more Ian/Sarah Kustok/RJ for this season

Kind of surprised they would make Stevens the head of basketball operations.

I've never seen a worse Nets playoff crowd in my life. That includes the NJ days which really sucks.

It was honestly really disappointing to see.


I guess just as our team, we bring it when it only matters :lol: .


I was there and it was super weird. Felt like a preseason/scrimmage game. The players on both teams were going through the motions until maybee the 4th when the energy went up and crowd finally woke up.

Def the worst Nets playoff crowd I've seen.

I was looking at highlights from Game 1 and Game 2 and the crowd was loud and engaged.

I was at Game 1 and the energy was super high.

Its just weird. As if none of the die hards wanted to go to Game 5.

Chris Jericho is a **** ing tool, but it sounds like the product is influenced by some good old school NWA(WCW) wrestling blood. Eddie Guerrero was one of my all time favorite wrestlers (RIP).

NWA/WCW was always consistently way better than the WWF back in the day (Attitude Era not withstanding, Attitude Era was lit). I'll check it out one night

I just have to say, that this is a fitting end to what started that night when King traded for KG/PP, and the years of torment that we were put through by Celtics fans. For Kyrie to destroy the Celtics not only on the court, but upend them organizationally...it's perfect. the organization is left in shambles.

I can't ask for more.
