Go Hawks.

 

Why gersh WHY

 

I wonder if DeAndre will jump ship. He's an unrestricted free agent this summer.

 

Maybe the Mavs if they don't re-sign Tyson?

 

Yeah, I was rooting for a Clip v Warriors Western Conference Finals because I love the LA/SF Bay Area sports rivalry, and yeah, because they hate each other too.

The Warriors should win Game 1.

 

Warriors v Cavs is the obvious final everyone will want, with the Warriors hopefully winning.

But for safety, I'll take Warriors v Hawks too.

 

If the Finals is Hawks v. Rockets I swear I will not watch one single game. I cannot imagine who would want to watch that turd of a series.

 

i think warriors hawks would actually be a better series than warriors cavs, but i'm rooting for warriors cavs.

 

So is Houston's 95 title the most recent amongst this bunch? Do any of the others even have any?

 

Golden State's last title was in the '74-'75 season while Atlanta's last title was when the Hawks was in St. Louis in 1958. Cleveland's the only team that has never actually won it all.

 

Dear G-d, this just came across the ESPN feed: Coach Cal is interested in the Pelicans job to coach Anthony Davis again...

 

I'm having an odd feeling of deja vu.

 

Really nice. Better than having the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs and or Heat in the Finals again. How many times have the Lakers and Celtics been in the Finals? 1/3 of all Finals played each practically? No offense to fans of those teams but so glad to have new blood in there.

 

The Warriors are favored by 10.5 points by the Vegas odds makers.

 

21 for the Celtics, 31 for the Lakers.

 

So 21 and 31 appearances out of 70 or so Finals? Kind of sad we aren't seeing a Cavs/Lakers final but kind of glad otherwise.

 

2009 was as close as we were going to get to a Kobe/LeBron Finals match up.

 

That's why alot of fans dislike the Lakers and Celtics.

Personally, I didn't really mind if the Lakers and/Celtics were in the finals so long as they were entertaining match up. If wasn't a NBA final series, but when the Kings were good, it was a great match up between the Lakers and Kings.

Also, I'm finally glad scoring is back up in the NBA in recent years, as I took a break from the sport when teams tried to play basketball like the Pistons and Knicks.

 

"Russell how can you help your team for the future here tonight?"
"You see my shirt? Alright."

lol i love you russ

 

So, Minnesota will have the last three #1 overall picks on their roster?

 

Knicks suck.

 

Part of me was really hoping Philadelphia Would get 1, 6, & 11.

And not just the part that wanted to see the Heat screwed over.
