    The unfortunate thing is whomever the coach is, LBJ has to like him.  He holds the keys to a lot of the future, well maybe the next year or two.

    I cut off some guy with a Nova license plate last week, very much on purpose. Maybe it was Jay Wright. LOL

    I doubt it. His dream job was Villanova and he's happy with retirement/CBS gig. I don't think he wants that headache.

    Hurley to coach the Lakers into the future.  Beyond Lebron and AD.  That's forward thinking.  Good on Jeanie Buss.
    a) it’s not a done deal.

    b) if it does happen, there’s no guarantee it will work out.

    I hope it doesn’t happen or doesn’t work out. 😎
    Such an ahole, lol.

    I like it because the Lakers are thinking long term and know they will have to rebuild in another year or so.
    I was stating the obvious.

    another LA/college coach dynamic I want to see fail is harbaugh and the chargers.

    Outside of Doncic and Irving, the Mavs are trash. Absolutely no supporting cast. That's the main difference in these finals.

    Windhorst nailed it last night.  Doncic is a detriment to the team with his constant bitching at the officials.  Dude is playing his ass off but hes frustrated the officials who are frustrated with him and it shows.

    Bostons roster is deep.  Good for them.  Tatum will finally get his chip.

    Luka, STFU and dribble.

    His whining about fouling out last was laughable.
    There was a play in the 4th when the ball was loose down the Celt's end and he and Brown were chasing it and he basically submarines Brown and they never blew the whistle. He should have fouled out earlier in the game.

    And one sequence in 2nd Q when Pritchard is bringing the ball up and Luka is hacking him repeatedly, refs let him get away with it like 3 times and finally on 4th hit they called the foul. Such a stupid unnecessary move by Luka, apply some pressure sure, but it looked like he was trying to get the refs to call a foul. That stuff comes back to bite you later sometimes and it did last night. And also, body built by Big Macs isn't the best thing for the NBA.

    I was noticing that last night, the Big Mac thing, lol.  I am wondering if he does a Jordan and hits the gym and turns up his game even more in the off season?  If he does that then good night.

    All great points @Ponc@Poncier !!!

    He’s one of the most annoying athletes I’ve seen. Half the shit he was complaining about on offense weren’t even fouls, especially given how the refs kinda let both teams go last night. He’d drive to the hole, miss, and start complaining. I actually had money on him to score 33 points. He had 27 when he got called for his 6th foul. When they were reviewing the call, my dislike of him trumped my desire to win the bet, so I was hoping the call stood, which it did, just to see his bitch ass get tossed. Also, he may be the biggest liability on defense I’ve ever seen.

    Go Luka and Kyrie.

    Kyrie grew up.  He is respectable as a player now.  Whodathunk?

    I don't really have a favoritrw to win, but if I had to choose I think I would actually go with Boston. There's something about Luka I just don't care for at all. Plus it's Dallas :tongue:
    This is probably why. Complains too much like Lebron.

    That's because Horford was a piece of shit in Philly.

    Luka does Bitch too much.

    Most NBA players do, though no excuse for the excessive Bitching Luka does.

    And, yes, Luka needs to get in better shape.

    Between all the bitching and the ridiculous piped in music/defense chant on every defensive possession it's really hard to enjoy the NBA these days.  Those two things annoy me to no end.

    I was going to add that Horford was not himself in Philly and I like him as a player and was surprised how bad he was on philly.  We agree here.

    it works fine in college without it. and none of the other major sports pipes in music during the play.  i think it's kind of amateurish to be honest.  During stoppages and commercials sure, but during the play. ugh grates on my nerves but a lot of the NBA grates on my nerves

    Sixers/Brett Brown tried using Horford in a way that doesn't suit his game and unsurprisingly it didn't work. He is a much better fit with the way the C's play on the offensive end. Trying a "twin towers" thing with him and Lion Killer and 3 guys who couldn't shoot from outside (or from 2 feet if you were Ben Simmons) was a recipe for disaster. Plus, his knee wasn't right back then If I recall.

    Speaking of.  Did Horford find the fountain of youth?  Dude has been balling.
    Playoffs with the added time off between games has always suited Horford in recent years. He usually has a couple of the "Al Horford games" each post season ala the game where he hit 7 threes this year against Indiana.
    He's kind of due for another one...maybe tonight.
