NBA Playoffs, what ya think who ya got (Thoughts)

[starvenger]

So right now I can't say that either team is playing great but Boston is making shots while Toronto isn't. Sometimes that's all it takes to build a huge lead.

It’s like two different teams playing right now. Raptors having trouble with everything at this point.. no umph - no heart -playing sluggish

Sigh... ugly.

going out there on a limb. - this series will go to a game seven. Raptors will come back Wednesday night with a win... it’s what they do.

As far as a game seven, the series will go to the team that shows up to play to win. Fingers crossed that team will be the hometown boys

After all this great Basketball things are kind of shaping out like most thoguht they would, except for the hot heat , Clippers win tonight but a good game

You just wonder how good the Raps would have been if Kawaii had decided to stay. Kawaii - Siskam - OG is a tough matchup.

Miami needs to finish them off here.

What an entertaining game!

No Giannis A. in this crucial game, was a stroke of bad luck for the Bucks.

Miami played like champions tonight. I look forward to watching them as they advance. Even if it’s against my Raps.

As a complete neutral I think you want to see in the Finals:
Miami vs the LA Lakers
OR
Toronto vs the LA Clippers

Great story lines there

or have the NBA go back to there roots

Lakers vrs Boston (you could bet, that it was the League wants)

Heat/Lakers is probably the least interesting. You've got the LeBron connection, but he was in Cleveland for a few years in between so it's easy to make peace with it.

Lakers/Celtics has got a wee bit of history there. Certainly, the Powers That Be would love to see that for ratings-based reasons.

Lakers/Raptors lets us see if we should truly rename the city Lebronto (or as we'd call it, Lebronno).

Clippers/Raptors basically centres around Kawhi. Once you realize Kawhi will do Kawhi things and the Raps will do their thing, the interest level outside of Canada and LA drops quite a bit.

Clippers/Celtics or Heat are fresh rivalries, so I'd like to see it.

Well you also have the Pat Riley connection with Lakers-Heat. And Miami is really where Lebron became a man and won titles so those fans are very loyal to him, whereas the Cleveland fans were burning his jersey's etc. so aren't as loyal (have a love/hate thing). So I think that would be the strongest storyline and emotional investment.

Lakers-Celtics, I think so much time has passed that there is little connection between these teams and the 80s teams besides the GM Danny Ainge. So the younger crowd wouldn't be as invested.

Do or die time.. Go Raps!

I swear that the Celtics have adapted my NBA Jam strategy of taking as many threes as I can.

Ohh we are Loyal, the last thing you ever want to do is cross someone who is fiercely loyal to you ( kind of like, no furry like that of a women scorned)

I'm still too old for this ****.
