Well now I am preparing to watch a Today Show segment in a few weeks. This is sentence I would have bet against typing yesterday.
If it hasn't been mentioned previously, Luke's new haircut really cleans him up. He always looked kinda sweaty and raggedy. Now he could pass for a 7''1" stock broker.
The New York Nets are a professional basketball team with some good players. They're not some group of middle aged guys who play at the Y. The Celtics are absolutely destroying them in every conceivable way. It looks like they're completely toying with them.
I know they're making everything from 3, but the defensive effort and execution has been insane. Completely locked in across the board.
When you play D like this, and the other team doesn't have a true primary offensive engine, you can make them look totally helpless.
And they've been in control of every game too. A couple issues with prevent offense, and not always going all out, but mostly wire-to-wire stuff.
You sure are racking up the Tommy Points tonight!
Ok so you’re a front runner….can you perform like this in crunch time of a tight game though?
Since this game is so tension packed, it should be okay asking for an opinion: who to root against in today's Philly-Miami game?
In all seriousness I'm surprised the Nets are as bad as they are. I didn't expect them to be a serious playoff team but I figured they'd probably hover around .500 and compete for a play-in spot. I guess this is what happens when you put together a roster entirely composed of good role players.
Honestly, I'd like Miami firmly in the #6 seed this year. Keep them away as long as possible.
Yeah, the bottom of the east is so bad that it is almost impossible for Miami to slip out of the playin. So ending at #6 is a useful goal.
