I'll say this about Draymond...he gets away with murder yelling at the refs. I can't believe they take it from him.

I think they are just so used to it that they tune him out, but, yeah, it is crazy what he gets away with when it comes to verbally abusing the officials. If he gets a technical, look out, because 99 times out of 100, they don't want to toss him, so he pretty much then has free license to say and do whatever he wants the rest of the game because he knows the officials don't want to get ripped for kicking him out of the game, even when he deserves it.

Way too many turnovers in the 1st quarter for the Celtics. You just can't give possessions away like that.

Theis doesn't look ready. Get him the F out of this game.

Hit the nail on the head Tim. Turnovers.

The Celtics' third quarters have been brutal.

Warriors D has been great tonight.

TAC · « **Reply #425 on:** June 05, 2022, 08:14:26 PM »

It has. The turnovers killed the Celts.

Birthdays seem to be a bad idea during the playoffs. Al Horford turned 36 and turned into Chris Paul.

Yep turnovers combined with Smart and Horford having very poor games. Was always going to be a tough one for the Celtics to win.

Well, I was talking 7 game series so no surprise. Onto game 3!

Rasheed Wallace is hired by the Lakers as an assistant coach. Ball don't lie, yo.

He might not have gotten along with the refs when he was playing, he is a damn smart player; and I can see him teaching guys how to develop all-round skills. And he is definitely not afraid of getting into guys' face when they screw up, which is a huge plus. I think this is a pretty good hire.

It seems like unless LeBron goes elsewhere, '20 will probably be his last title. It's just hard to see the situation improving there unless something unexpected happens.

bosk1 · « **Reply #431 on:** June 06, 2022, 06:26:07 PM »

I dunno. I think any team with him on it could be a title contender.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #432 on:** June 06, 2022, 07:09:21 PM »

Health is his biggest issue right now. The team that has him has to manage his minutes so he can be healthy for the playoffs.

LithoJazzoSphere · « **Reply #433 on:** June 06, 2022, 08:16:20 PM »

He's going to be 38 by the next playoffs. He's had unbelievable durability, but it seems to be finally catching up with him. Davis, on the other hand, has not been durable. Russ is an albatross, and the rest of the team pales in comparison to what it was even two seasons ago. Kareem in '85 is the closest example, but I don't think the team begins to compare to Magic, Worthy, and the rest of the showtime cast.

bosk1 · « **Reply #434 on:** June 06, 2022, 11:35:34 PM »

I don't discount any of that. I'm just saying, even with all of that being true, I would never count out a team with him on it.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #435 on:** June 08, 2022, 07:26:56 PM »

Hot start so far. Not surprised. Seems both teams respond well the next game.

TAC · « **Reply #436 on:** June 08, 2022, 07:40:12 PM »

I hope they play like this in the 3rd quarter.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #437 on:** June 08, 2022, 07:51:20 PM »

King Postwhore · « **Reply #438 on:** June 08, 2022, 07:59:03 PM »

Warriors responding. As great teams do.

3rd Quarter. Buckle up!

Curry got his 4th foul, someone from the Dubs must step up.

I've never been so happy to have a -8 point differential in a quarter.

Al got abused in that quarter.

Gutsy call for leaving Curry in after got his 4th foul

I didn't see the game (was watching the new Top Gun!, but I cracked up when I saw that Green had 2 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 fouls.

I agree with the take this morning that it might go down as the worst game in Finals history by a future Hall of Famer (which he unfortunately will be).

What's with the Warriors players complaining about the Boston fans?

From what I saw/heard, they weren't complaining--they were responding to the endless media questions about it (the "F--- you, Draymond!" chant, etc.). Blame the reporters. Yeah, it is pretty classless to do that and have that in front of kids and on national tv. But on the other hand, Boston certainly doesn't have a monopoly on classless fans. Bay Area fans have done plenty to make me ashamed, so I'm the last one to point fingers at another city's fans (for the most part). And there are plenty of good ones out there too, like King, TAC, and Stadler. Honestly, if money were no object, I'd LOVE to set between you guys at a game in Boston, take all the heckling from you for 2 1/2 hours, and then sit down for a cold one afterwards.

Good. Let the hate flow through you.

On a different topic (same topic as far as the NBA finals; but different in terms of the above two points), I am gaining a lot of respect for Derrick White and Marcus Smart. They both seem like good dudes, players who give their all from opening tip to the 4th quarter buzzer, and have tremendous basketball IQ. I really like both of those guys.
