Dubs in 7

Wake me when it's over. I'm busy watching the NHL conference finals, two of the most exciting matchups in playoff history. Hopefully the goalies will show up soon.

Really looking forward to this. Should be a great series but I wouldn’t mind seeing a Warriors sweep. I’ll say dubs in six.

All this talk about Curry isn’t truly great unless he wins a finals MVP is clickbait bullshit. His legacy is established no matter what happens in this series.

Hoping to see Poole, Wiggins, Payton and even Kuminga step up. Looks like Porter and Iggy are also both ready to go. Should be interesting.

Bunch of toothless Canucks skating around an ice rink? No thanks.

Neil Schon doing Hendrix. LOL

May have to miss Game 2 because of my son’s wedding reception.
I might sneak out and watch on the iPhone.

Last team I wanted the Warriors too see out the east.

Going to be a great series.

So you prefer hockey games that look like basketball games, but can’t understand the skills of basketball.

Got it.

I like basketball. I just don't care about the NBA.

I like hockey. I just don’t know why anybody would play it on ice skates.

Throwing squids is pretty cool though.

Why do you like NHL?

Because you say so? Uh uh.

Blowing game 1 at home is not a good sign.

Celtics can BRING the fucking defense…

That was one of the most painful exhibitions of ineptitude I’ve ever seen in sports. Wouldn’t wish that on anybody. Except maybe Kal and SUC.

And the Dodgers of course (sorry Smackie).

Most of the Celtics' carnival shots went IN in the 4th quarter.

Not so for Golden State.


Much more entertaining than the game is seeing all the frowns on the faces of the beaten down Whoreiors in postgame.

LMAO!

Fucking Dubs...Draymond was exposed and the Celtics took full advantage.

That will also rack.

Mikey, typically a smart individual, and Bill in Twatland don't understand how not enjoying the NBA doesn't mean one can't enjoy other levels of basketball.

So you enjoy watching Jr. HS kids?

Whatever.

Quite telling that you think the only other option is Jr High kids.

Updating my spreadsheet.

And captain projection jumps in. Couldn’t help yourself could ya.

Maybe you got excited at the mention of children.

As a Lakers fan this is going to be a tough one.

All in on the Avalanche though.

College basketball. Specifically, the A-10.

Get your mind out of the gutter, Willie.

Was never in the gutter. I figured you didn’t care to watch the most skilled or athletic players, so maybe you liked the family atmosphere of jr high. Like I said, whatever.

Spreadsheet updated.

I don't see the C's going for 75% shooting from 3 in the 4th again.


Maple Jordan/ Air Canada should get more playing time this game.





GP2/Little glove... has finally been cleared to play after being gone for a month and will and will bring the D as well as some much needed athleticism.





JK/Jonathan kuminga should get some playing time this game. It was needed last game and I think Kerr has learned his lesson.







Should be a fun one in The City tonight.

Having Little Glove back in the lineup was key.

That was a beat down tonight in The City. The Warriors called the dogs off after going up by 30 points in the 4th.

Back to playing Warrior basketball and off to Beantown.

Boston wins game 3 fairly comfortably.

Game 4 will be big, and will likely come down to the wire.

Celtics won game 3 by 16.

Yes, game 4 figures to be close, imo.

Steph Curry is sick.

The series delivers as expected.

That was a game for the ages.

Back to The City.




Is Curry even human?

Unreal

I hate that fuckin guy

The NHL playoffs have been awesome.

Best playoffs in sports and it isn’t even close.

College basketball tourney is the best event.

NBA playoffs is something to follow on Sportscenter.

This is one reason why the NBA is an unwatchable joke.








Traveling not called.

It is kind of a basketball basic, isn't it?

Because missed calls and bad calls only happen in the NBA. No other sports have this phenomenon.

"Missed calls" are as old as sports, Bill.

But what we have in the NBA is an obviously predetermined directive from the league hierarchy for officials to not call traveling.

I mean, it is just blatant.
Every game there are a handful of plays where guys walk and it is simply not called.


Don't let me stop your enjoyment of the games.
I'm just giving you my own take.

I have a friend who is totally into the NBA (and the Warriors, btw), and he always wants to talk pro hoops with me.
I'm just not into it.
