You have to dye your hair green like Marcus Smart too, SR. :lol:

Great game for the Cs last night! You guys led for the entire game. I was briefly concerned when the lead shrunk to about 14 in the last 6 minutes. Saturday is going to be brutal. Giannis looked really pissed off.

Maybe. I was laughing the other day...long story short, my car is in the shop so I am using a company car. It has a sunroof and I looked in the rear view and the sun hit it. I am 90% grey. :lol: Green might work.

Agreed on Saturday. Bloodbath :hehe:

The reason I said I dont think the bucks will repeat is because I feel like this is a season where some players want to win so bad they wont be stopped like chris paul or jimmy butler or the celtics.

Game 5 and all that comes with it :agree: Was surprised that the Bucks are 5.5 point faves. Hopefully that serves as motivation.

No Ja, up by 55? I tuned in just past the midway point in the 3rd and it was 100-50 or something. I looked for Saban but couldn't find him.

Rooting for the Celtics. Tatum is a St. Louis kid and proudly reps the city.

On a day and a half rest with travel, but, we had rest for the Bucks and tanked game 1 :noclue: . Thank! Really relieved to be past Milwaukee for all the obvious reasons. As objectively as I can be, we really outplayed them and are the better team. Miami is a concern; they remind me of the Pats...just a machine, but I like the matchups a lot more and Williams 3 will likely see time. 18 is a real possibility. :rockon:

It's funny. I know a lot of Lakers fans and so many are rooting for the C's via Tatum as well. He has a pretty universal appeal.

So, after last night's massacre, 538 has the C's at a 70% chance to wing the Championship.

Turns out a lot of people I know knew him or his family. Everyone has nice things to say. If we can't have a team in MO, I suppose rooting for him is the next best thing. I love the NBA. I was a massive Bulls/Jordan fan growing up. It helped being able to watch every game on WGN. I think the Pacers are the closest geographically to St. Louis, but I tend to forget they exist.

Nice. From as much as can be seen, he appears to be a pretty grounded guy. He is a devoted pop (his son is never far away), Either is his mom. Just prior to his huge payday, she lived in the same apartment complex. She raised him alone, and he's quite loyal to her.

Yesterday, I was listening to the LA sports radio show, Mason & Ireland. Ireland is a really big player in the Laker scene here. He's duel employed by ESPN and by the Lakers as a play by play announcer. So, another ESPN dude was lamenting that his brother (they both grew up in LA and are devout Laker fans), said he was leaning green as he loved how they play, Everyone was giving all the reasons why it wasn't ok. Ireland referenced a conversation he had with Jerry West who said he didn't own anything green...nothing. The color made him physically ill :lol: .

I think part of the mixed bag feeling by Laker fans is that they could have had him. He was on the table when they opted for Lonzo Ball. :agree:

No, he's a nice kid...has zero to do with us not being able to have him..it's he is on Boston and fuck Boston...that's it

The mixed bag if anything is we have no history with any of the guys on Boston ATM...but that was like 08 until we played and then all the softcores hated Boston again


And hoka...you jump on every fucking bandwagon you can ..oh St Louis is good in hockey this year? Big fan...Celtics looking good? ya know ever since I was a kid blah blah...stfu :lolol: damn band wagoners...pick a team, go down with your ship...I bet you're an epic hop scotch player
