Ya know the odds for Lakers to win the title were at 14 to 1 yesterday at the casino and only my Celtics fan guilt prevented me from making that bet

I’d make the obligatory Scott Foster joke right now but I actually want the Lakers to win this series so whatever

Who is starting the Rui Hachimura gimmick account?
There’s seven guys on this team who could drop 20 and nobody would bat an eye. Beasley has been playing like shit so maybe you’d say six. That’s a tough matchup.

Damn. We might end up with a Celtics-Heat rematch after all.
These guys take shit talking to the point of being arrogant. Get cooked by our 7th guy and talk shit? Idk about that.

Paul George is out for the entire first round. Feel dumb for picking the Clippers to win that series rn.
It's not unusual for playoffs to become injury plagued but we haven't even gotten through the first weekend of the first round yet. Crazy that Giannis, Ja Morant, and Tyler Herro all went down in a 3-4 hour span.

Last night was the most Russell Westbrook game ever.

The part where he's trying to cause an Artest situation is like, you would think someone gets suspended a while for that but who knows.

Atlanta probably has the right idea.
Now watch the Hawks win game 3 and make me look like an ass.
