    Lakers looked great for 3 quarters then forgot how to play.  Lebron couldn't hit a 3.  They let up wayyyy too many fast break points.

    Lakers can beat the Nuggetts if they stay consistent.

    So watching these first 2 games each I know the Lakers can play better.  I do not think the Celtics can play better.

    The Celtics can absolutely play better, especially on the defensive end.
    Will they? Who knows.

    lol and neither will the Lakers.

    I have said this about the Celtics and Tatum.  He seems to disappear sometimes.  Dude is soooo good during the regular season.

    So, Playoff Jimmy and company?  Fun to watch.  I want them to beat Jokic and the Laker slayer Murray.

    Miami is running on all cylinders right now.  The whole team is playing good ball.

    Playoff Jimmy and company are a very well run organization.

    It's also really fun basketball to watch!  I wish Herro was able to play, he's been such a big part of this team.  Shame he has to miss this run.

    If they weren't beating the snot out of my team, I'd find them an enjoyable watch.
    The no name cast of characters after Butler and Bam are playing lights out. They can't friggin' miss right now.

    This Heat series has been easy money from a betting standpoint. The point spreads have been insane. Too many bettors seem to feel that "Well Miami is a #8 seed and Boston is a #2 seed." That's why, amazingly, the Celtics were favored in game 3 on the road. Even now, Miami is only giving 1.5 points in game 4 lol. People should've thrown out the regular season weeks ago when Miami beat the Bucks and Knicks, and looked way better doing it than Boston did against the Hawks and Sixers. 

    I took the Heat money line in all three games, and will be doing it again in game 4. At this point, Boston wants nothing to do with forcing a game 5. They're checked out and can't wait for it to be over.

    Duncan Robinson who has been killing it is a no name but he has showed up in the previous years playoffs too so I actually knew him, lowry and Love, the other dudes?  Nope.

    Robinson was out of the rotation and only got back in because of Herro's injury.
    Only played in 42 games with 1 start, averaged 6.4 PPG
    His contract extension (5 years, $90 Million) was looking like a total bust.
    Not so much now.

    Yeah I only remember him because of previous playoffs.  Dude shows up for them.  He played good in the finals against the Lakers.  Never knew who the hell he was until then, lol.

    Hats off to Lebron.  He played his heart out.  The rest of the team though, not so much.

    Murray was a lightning rod this series.

    Boston is not coming back.

    Farewell to Carmelo Anthony.  One of the best scorers I had ever seen.  If he had some more help and didn't come to the Knicks I wonder?!?

    9th in scoring all time and an NCAA title.  Sure fire HOFer.

    Denver hit on Jokic in 2nd rd, like many Europeans who get looked over

    Michael Porter slipping in the draft a bit due to injury, I remember thinking at the time if a team can let him sit a year due to his injury in college, they would benefit big time with their patience. He’s had a few more since, but 6-10 sharpshooters tough to find

    murray coming off ACL a nice story….

    do it for Dikembe, poor guy battling cancer

    Oh yea Carmelo…. Jeez, releasing a produced retirement  piece the same day the team you forced a trade from makes their 1st final… sums it up

    I loved his title in Syracuse, his days in Denver he was great but selfish 

    Knicks days all about the limelight, no substance to it…. Like he was gonna waltz in and carry them to a title 🤣

    oh Melo…. What could have been
