    Hey, there is no rules on how to be a fan, but as a fan of the game, that blows my mind that you wouldn’t want to tune into this series.

    How awkward must Russ feel that he's not in the picture, but Patty Mills (Patty Mills?!?) is.

    They start with the game that has past Blazers as an opening act (Melo vs. Patty).

    Collins walking is painful for Collins. Running and jumping is really painful for him.

    Acknowledging this is still somewhat painful for me.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    No Finals is ever going to catch the ones from the '90s with Jordan, purely due to how fractured the "TV" market is. In the '90s, you had the big three networks, FOX and basic cable (with a few paid ala cart channels). Any major event on one of the big three networks was a massive media event. Now, many people don't even subscribe to a TV provider for networks, local channels and basic cable, they subscribe to streaming networks like Netflix.

    the way Patty has played in his entire career (which if you didn't know, was more games) shows he doesn't deserve it.

    ...he brings a lot more (if only "potential") than a washed up mentally weak PatBev :dunno: not to mention the freebie throw in of Juancho.

    I remember as an adult, in the Service, going "Man! These Celtics get way too many calls in their favor". It was total B.S. Lakers too got way too much love from the refs as well. Secured my hate of these franchises forever. Jake O'Donnell's charging call on Clyde against a leaning, not set, Pippen was criminal. The Blazers had totally taken control of that game, and that call changed the tone of the series in that Finals. I have refused to watch a Finals with either the Lakers, or Celtics involved.
