    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Laker Summer 2021 should make every Celtic fan smile 1. Lakers get Russell Westbrook 2. Wizards get Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma 3. Westbrook deal means DeMar DeRozan can't sign with the Lakers 4. Caruso signs with Bulls (4/$36M) after Lakers offer 2/$15M. 5. Lakers opt...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    If he wanted a better title shot, I could see him signing with the 76ers or OKC or force a S&T to the Knicks. There are probably a bunch of other possibilities? BUT my gut says he comfy being a Laker.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Good point. It does feel like "winning another title" isn't at the top of Bron's agenda anymore. He seems much more focused on the King James empire, which means getting his kid a Thanasis deal, building up his bank to get an ownership stake in the future Vegas team, record/stat chasing, & more...

    I highly doubt Lebron goes anywhere else, but Bron + Embiid + Maxey would be more competitive than these Lakers. The 76ers (have the CAP space) also have the picks to build around them, so an asset-draining trade would be unnecessary. Ducking the WC would be very Jamesian.

    LAL win and pushes the series. Denver heavily relies on their TOP5, we want them beat to hell by the Finals

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    They were the 2nd rated Defense in the NBA this season. So they are somewhere between a very good to great Defense (when engaged). Last night was little-effort or brain-dead play, sometimes both. Can't imagine CJM schemed for these guys to float around in the paint, ball watch, & lose...

    Put Your Exasperated Guy Takes Here

    if they continue to give up wide-open/open 3s, like last night, this series will go 6 or 7

    Put Your Exasperated Guy Takes Here

    KP was a mess on both sides of the floor and the offense wasn't great BUT Miami shot 50% or better in 3 of their 4 wins against Boston in the playoffs last year. This is how they beat the C's. Letting the Heat shoot OPEN 3s like they did last night is a really bad strategy. Its the playoffs...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Bill isn't wrong with the on-ball defensive intensity (the off-ball defense was also lousy) BUT it really was "whelp they made 3s" 3300 playoff games over the last 4 decades. 23 made threes by a team has only been bettered 3X :oops: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xIms7Sj44I

    he's full-on cuckoo, I muted it after 60 seconds Bam's moving screens are tough to navigate, especially if KP is guarding BA and dropping. Until the Refs whistle or Boston adjusts coverage Spo will run it incessantly ALSO credit to Miami for swinging the ball around, finding open 3s & hitting them

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    what is your G3 prognostication? Slog throughout the rest of the series? expected adjustments on defense? Miami playing with House$$$ is a hair more dangerous

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Good call, you had G2 circled before this series even started. Hopefully, you profited from both prescient calls
