    Looks to me like Denver just played Pop's last game...I was hoping it'd be us. I think he's retiring and Becky Hammon will take over.

    My enduring memory of the Nugs Spurs series will be Pop at the end of game 7, literally 3 or 4 full strides onto the court, screaming at LA to push up to defend his opponent. :lol:

    And the ref looking at Pop, shrugging his shoulders, thinking “the series is already over, no point delaying the inevitable with a whistle.”

    As disjointed as it was, the 76ers offence wasn’t the problem.

    Toronto, and especially Leonard, and Siakam, just did whatever they wanted on offence.

    Philly just isn’t a “team”, and that’s no surprise given the number of changes management has made, and the timing of them.

    The refs are handing this game to Milwaukee.

    13 FTA compared to a big fat ZERO.

    And it's almost halftime.

    Whatever you say about the Celtics in the regular season, it really won’t matter in the playoffs. Celtics will win the East even if they are seeded number 8

    I wanted Bucks to get to the Finals but realistically they are going to lose in 5 to Celtics at best. They have very little chance to win any of the games in Boston and it looks like they are losing home advantage already in game 1.

    I think Toronto will do them. They are much better equipped to handle Boston.

    It’s like Jordan in the early years when he can’t beat the Pistons

    Celtics really surprising me. I thought Pacers would give them trouble, possibly win, Celts sweep. I gave them no chance against Milwaukee and while it's only one game, they are killing on the road. At the very least expect a highly competitive series.

    Here's to upsets!

    Boston looks good. They look in top form right on time.

    Celtics: We are a different team come playoff time.

    Bucks: We beat you 3-1 in the regular season and we just swept the Pistons.

    Celtics: LOL
