    well, if the gauge is the last 20 years the Kings are 27-24 (.529).

    and they haven't lost a playoff game since 2006!

    Blazers didn't lose a playoff game yet this year. The tank is working perfectly.

    Warriors has 340M in payroll and it’s one win away for another ring. Who cares for luxury tax when you have an owner who is willing to spend money to win.

    Not a surprise. In 9 years of LMA, we won 1 playoff series.

    The organ player was just playing a little tune that I think was supposed to elicit "Let's Go Celtics!" but all I could hear was "Season's Over!"

    This is a bit harsh isn't it? They are young and have some holes, but there have been way more flawed rosters to get to the finals. Being the 2nd best team in the NBA isn't weak.

    I don’t know how Green can jump up and down yelling at the refs acting like a baby and not even get T’d up.

    The Celtics offense looks like a new born fawn attempting to walk.

    Pritchard has the rare gift of moving side to side so fast that it looks like he is teleporting, only to follow it with a jumpshot where he somehow only gets 3 inches off the floor.

    saw this somewhere else and couldn’t stop laughing t

    Lost the last two and are getting smashed by GS at home in game 6...you tell me.

    Though I know they love coming back in the second half, that's not a good spot to put yourself in an elimination game.

    They look very disorganized. Turnover after turnover.

    Their stars Tatum and Brown can't decide who's night it is.

    Tatum is just way too sloppy and terrible at finishing near the rim. Great player but he is not capable of carrying a team to win the championship, yet.

    brown is also too sloppy with this dribbling/drives

    still a half to go though. They could pull it out and win game 7. The turnovers need to stop though
