    The Celtics blowing out the 76ers felt like a finals game?

    I think he posted that before tip off so I'm pretty sure he was either talking about the vibe of Celtics v Sixers or was still going off about how crazy that Lakers v Warriors matchup is.

    The Sixers and the Celtics have played each other in 4 of the last 6 playoffs. You can decide whether you find that interesting or dull.

    Question, If the Lakers win it all this year. Do they give Westbrook and Beverly a ring too?

    I think you only give rings to the guys on the roster at the end of the regular season. I do not think Otis Thorpe got a ring when the Rockets won their title with Clyde.

    Draymond will complain about anything and even he knew the foul discrepancy was the warriors fault coupled with the lakers style of play

    They usually let the team vote on it. If a guy doesn't finish the season with the team.

    Can they vote to give the GM of both Minnesota and Utah a ring as well? I mean they did help quite a bit....a hell of a lot more than Westbrook and Beverly did in helping them get better.

    AD is just not imposing his will on this game. He could do it at any time, he just has to get to his spot and stay aggressive offensively and if he is active on that end he'll be better on defense.

    If we want to go full on “Tin Foil Hat” we could include the Walt Disney Co and Hearst Communications beings they own ESPN and they probably pulled all the strings? What’s another couple rings?

    If the Lakers commit to dominating the Warriors in the paint for the rest of this series then they'll be able to get some wins. If they continue to settle for jumpers they're fucked. They also have to play the kind of D they did game 1, they're giving up way too many uncontested threes.

    The only positive thing the Lakers could get out of this is if they rest LeBron and AD for the entire fourth quarter.
