    I mean seriously some of these tickets are a couple hundred dollars sometimes thousands. I hope to Celtics fane raise hell. Not to mention the booze, food and parking.

    The NBA is getting laughable. Competitive imbalance needs to be addressed somehow.

    Like all those years when it was the Celtics vs Lakers?

    It's always been somewhat like this. Personally I cannot wait until we are the cream of the crop going to the finals multiple years in a row.

    True, but at least the Celtics had genuine inter-conference rivalries with teams like Detroit and Philadelphia in the '80s. We are at a unique point right now where there are no such rivalries and each conference's playoffs just feels like a total formality and waste of time. And it really doesn't help that the games themselves are so staggeringly one-sided this year.

    Hockey was always my #1, but the last 5 or so years ive been investing way more time in basketball. I feel like im getting duped big time by the NBA. I will always give the Blazers my undivided attention as long as their season lasts, but im ready to throw in the towel on the post season blue and yellow dick sucking contest.

    Honestly the Celtics are fairly stacked and these first two games should be seen as a massive disappointment. Sure the cavs are good, but this is the team that hit a home run woth Horford last off-season.

    Lebron with rest is just something else. The Celtics have no one who can hope to guard him and it just turns the game into a joke. The Wizards would have done a hell of a lot better against them imo.

    The Washington Generals would give the Cavs a better series than the Celtics are.

    Hey the generals were a good team, they beat the globetrotters a couple of times. Just ignore their thousands of losses to the globetrotters.

    Second Game: The Cavs wasted the Celts. 72 -31 at half time. If the Celts win game 3 in Cleveland, the Stooges would be re incarnated . thI9H6AUA3.jpg

    It's not even close. NHL itself is far more entertaining anyway. There are ZERO plays taken off. ZERO tomes guys aren't going 100%.

    I honestly think that if Portland had an NHL team, fans would quickly become more passionate than Blazer fans because the players themselves are more passionate
