I'm swelling with some serious schadenfreude right about now too. Go Denver. I'm in absolute shock. It's one thing to lose, it's entirely another to quit.

Not having an NBA team I have been rooting for Jayson Tatum because he’s such a loyal St. Louis kid. So this sucks.
I hate the Nuggets because they’re owned by Stan Kroenke. And I can’t stand LeBron and the people that want to compare him to Jordan.
So go Heat I guess.

I hate LeBron too, but at least he's got an excuse for fading...20 years in the mix and injuries. C's are in real trouble. Brown's got one year left and though they are handicapped by a green coach with ego, he'll get a supermax after next year. Luxury tax means losing draft picks. It's either all in or a partial rebuild starting with the coach. Lot's of good ones out there, but you can't buy determination and assassin mentality. FFS

As good as Jaylen Brown was throughout the regular season, he's been missing in action this series. It's been funny watching national shows brush up on Denver.

Now here we are both Lakers and Boston 0-3. Looking back in hindsight we all knew Denver was a better team than LA, but I didn't see this one coming where there's no argument that Miami's a better team than Boston.

Even while juiced up on EPO and an assortment of other PED's, LeBron couldn't stop from being swept

Impressive they started 2-10 and got all the way to the WCF. I wasn’t sold on the Nuggets until this round- they are clearly winning it all.
Have to wonder if Lebron’s retirement comment is a tactic to get the front office to keep making roster changes. I just read Trae Young is a possibility

Celtics avoid the sweep. They're back in business.

I have no clue why the basketball gods have continued to allow the Celtics to fuck around and stay alive all playoffs… insane
The probability of how everything unfolded after smart took that three has to be less than zero… wow

Yep, that was crazy! I was thinking about SR. No doubt he had the defibrillator on standby.
Can't wait for the game tomorrow night!

My quick analysis of this series so far, first 3 games Butler was the best player on the court and last 3 he's the third best.

No Joke.
It was a wild ride for sure. D White has been crucial in the last 2 games. So much to unpack, but I do like the anyone but Butler mentality even as Caleb and Vincent continue their tear...fuck even Robinson. It's been nice to see the free throw line in the last games as well. Defibrillator ready at 5 pst.

Just read that Nick Nurse is go to the 76ers.
I wonder who we're going to get. I read there were talks with Steve Nash and someone else whose name I can't think of at the moment.

Would absolutely love to see Jayson Tatum go to the finals and have the St. Louis kid beat Kroenke’s Nuggets.

Yup, 17 wave from Boston. Not this year and the future is murky. JB isn't worth 60 mil a year, so Brad's got some real thinking to do. I'm not a fan of Joe so there's that. We had every opportunity to get this one and fell flat in performance and in the rotations. Plenty of firepower to break through even with Tatum hobbled. Grats to Miami and though I love the backstory of so many there, I am fully pulling for Denver.
Spo is a class act and I love what he said about prevailing over excellence to be excellent.

I read yesterday Kroenke is on the verge of a trifecta. He's won rings in football and hockey as the owner. Crazy
