Solid game for the Lakers, as I expected with all the rest they’ve had. It all comes down to Game 2. If the Nuggets win we have a legit series, if not it’s over.
Quin Cook could win his second championship with different teams, plus he’s making $3,000,000. Good for him.
I’m not big on Danny Green, but at least he’s not the Black Falcon. I just don’t know why Nike is taking so long to launch the Black Falcon line of shoes and apparel. I’m sure there’s demand out there.
Harrison Barnes could work on his Nike line with Danny Green and that way everybody would be happy.

I'll also acknowledge that the agitating physical defense and off ball jostling that Dwight was doing to Jokic had an impact on the Joker's demeanor and took him out of his game.
Let's hope that Game 1, like many Game 1s, won't be representative of the whole series as I'd like to see it go 5+.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Barring a setback in pregame warm-ups, there's significant optimism within the Boston Celtics that forward Gordon Hayward will make a return to the lineup for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat on Saturday night, sources told ESPN.
Hayward has missed a month with a right ankle sprain, but has progressed in recent days to the cusp of a return on Saturday with the Celtics trailing the Heat 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.
I guess we’ll see if all that yelling made a difference.
I wish it made me angry. I'm more apathetic and that sucks worse. I'd prefer the Nuggets to win because they are the more interesting, positive team to me. As much as I think Lebron is often great off the court, I always find myself rooting against him when he plays no matter which team he plays for (might be the way he cries after every call that doesn't go his way). Note, that doesn't mean that I don't recognize how brilliant he is...he's fantastic.
Plus, the Lakers have Danny Green - see my previous comments about that Cheater
I meant to ask after your previous post why you were going so easy on the UNC cheat?
I could not agree with you more. I simply refuse to root for a team, even a team with a Dukie riding the bench, that starts a Heel. That it’s Danny Green, who has indeed ridden the coattails of multiple superstars on other teams to championships, makes it that much worse.

Unfortunately, every time someone mentions Danny Green this imagery pops into my head. The obnoxiousness of this ridiculous dance is off the charts.
Tyler Herro is no joke.
Celtics look more cohesive on offense.
Game 2 redux parte dois?
Celtics have terrible end of game ball security. They just can't wait to give it away. This could be a choke even more epic than the Gone in 50 seconds game at Maryland...
They really do! I was actually saying this early in the fourth. They don’t know how to play with the lead or put a game away. It’s absolutely terrible watching them try and choke this.
Taking stupid, long threes early in the shot clock. Driving into double teams and coughing up the ball. They just don’t know how to close out games.
