Good news for you:

The Dallas Mavericks are in the playoffs.

the NBA isnt the same without Jordan right ?

raccoon · 2020-08-18T20:25:15.000Z

Yep, most people think that Jordan is the best of all time.

While I agree with that, I really liked Kobe Bryant when he played, and I really like LeBron now.

I think there's usually going to be a superstar (with charisma) that I will love to watch play.

update…

Charlotte Hornets radio play by play broadcaster John Focke has been indefinitely suspended by the team after a tweet on Monday
about the Denver Nuggets that did not include the word “Nuggets,” but instead a similarly spelled, very different word.

see the “word”:

You really have to spell check your tweets, buddy!

"That word" is not so PC anymore, to put it lightly!

I’m taking a knee on pro sports. Use to be a big BB fan. No more. Done.

Is it due to the politics of pro athletes?

Go HEAT! We’re up 1 nil, so ‘party time’ in Miami.

Deputy Dog:

It really doesn’t matter unless the Canadiens win the cup. Go Habs!!!

The young team the Vancouver Canucks all the way.

The Toronto Raptors has a good chance to regain the title.

To anyone that is not watching the games live:

Avoid this thread until you are caught up because there are spoilers in here, including this post.

I saw the two Lakers games.

One game was close for some good stretches, and the Lakers won the other game.

So each game was good in its own way.

I prefer close games where my team wins, but what matters to me most is my team continuing to advance through the Playoffs.

In the first game, a Portland player bumped into LeBron James and got a mild nosebleed.

The player said that was the first nosebleed he ever had, and he thought it was kinda cool that it was because he bumped into LeBron.

I thought that was pretty funny, and I am glad that the Portland player is okay.

raccoon · 2020-08-30T11:02:17.000Z

I saw the Lakers games 3, 4, and 5 (in Round 1.)

Games 3 and 5 were frequently close, and the Lakers won games 2 through 5.

I just hope they do as well in Round 2.

(Games 3 and 5 were the most entertaining of the series, for me.)

turkeydance · 2020-08-30T14:51:47.000Z

well, i’m out.
the playoffs were off,
then on, then off, then on.
i’m too dizzy to focus, now.

Klay Thompson will tear everyone apart !!!)

Not in the 2019-2020 Post-Season.

Are you even paying attention to the NBA Season/Playoffs?

raccoon · 2020-09-07T11:10:51.000Z

After getting spanked in Game 1 of Round 2, the Lakers evened up the series with an entertaining win in Game 2.

(I'm really enjoying these Playoffs.)

raccoon · 2020-09-16T04:19:51.000Z

I didn't see it, but the Clippers lost in Game 7 to the Nuggets.

(I really thought the Clippers would win the series.)

So it's going to be the Lakers and Nuggets in the West, and the Heat and Celtics in the East.

I'm still rooting for the Lakers, but I hear the Celtics in the East are very good as well.

ECF: MIA vs BOS 1 - 0
WCF: LAL vs DEN

My #2020NBAFINALS bubble version will be the classic, LAL vs BOS (can I get amen? )

FromShadowlands · 2020-09-16T18:21:40.000Z

Pulling for the Nuggets, Heat and Celtics. Anyone but Lebron.

raccoon · 2020-09-27T19:38:43.000Z

I just saw Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers won, and they're going to the NBA Finals!

The East still has to be decided, but I'm happy for my team in this moment.

LAKERS vs MIAMI HEAT

Congrats to LeBron James. He joins a mediocre team (last 10 yrs without playoffs participation) and all of a sudden the Lakers are back in the playoffs and now in the finals. Just crazy. Playing against his former team which he led to four consecutive finals. I don't recognize any name from the current Miami rooster except for Iguadola.

I wish LeBron to win the title.

I grew up in Los Angeles from the mid-60s and was going to Lakers’ games when Wilt, Jerry, Elgin and Gail were playing, so I’m a huge Lakers’ fan, but I’ve lived in Miami for 35+ years and so I’m also a Heat fan.

Either way, I win, but I’m pulling for Miami!

Go HEAT!
