New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve Williams]

I would love to see the Celts beat the Raptors and more so see Jimmy Butler make good on his promise that the Heat can beat anyone

 

[Steve Williams]

For me the unknown is the outcome of Utah-Denver series as it affects who the Lakers will play.I thought Denver would have had more of a presence against Utah

 

[WLVCA]

May the luck of the irish be with the Celtics.

 

[Steve Williams]

Celtics have the defense to beat the Raptors.

 

[Robertd]

Still rooting for the raptors, but heat taking it, part of me would love that

 

[Steve Williams]

Robert

this second round is where the real fun begins

The Raptors are we'll coached and a very good team and a deep bench

Celtics have Tatum, great Dee, and a young team and an energetic coach

This is the round where upsets I feel are going to happen
Clipps have the strongest and deepest team. It's going to take great coaching and a very determined opponent to beat them. I don't believe the Lakers can as they lack the strength and depth of the Clipps

 

[Steve Williams]

My present wish is that the Mavs win game 6 and force a 7th game. If they do then anything is possible in a sudden death game

 

[Steve Williams]

This is why I still feel the Lakers won't make it to the finish line....last night even though they closed out the Blazers, it was a see saw battle with several lead changes. It was only in the last few minutes that the Lakers beat a depleted 8 seed team


3 stats to know from Lakers' first-round series win
L.A. advanced to the West semifinals with a Game 5 win over Portland

[Steve Williams]

The other stat is the Heat had a winning record against the teams in the East. I feel the heat cannot be ignored. It all depends on Butler's should

 

[Steve Williams]

so Clips-Lakers in the West with Clipps advancing

In the East is where all the fun will be as there could be some upsets in the making.Plus I like to see different teams in the finals each year (even though I love the Warriors)

 

[Steve Williams]

So this begs the question.....which team in the east will give the Clipps a bigger challenge.....

for me I hope it is the Raptors only because I would love to see them win again without Kawhi and against Kawhi. That would be a series of greatness but again there is no team that has a bench as good and as deep as the Clipps (unless of course the Mavs beat them in the next two games)

I agree Steve, that would be epic. Raptors have played well this year without Kawhi. Have to give them credit for pushing forward like that have!

 

[WLVCA]

If I weren't a Clippers fan I would root for the jilted Raptors if they met in the finals.

But.....given my allegiance I will stick with LAC.

 

[Steve Williams]

Huge lead by the Celtics with 3:00 in the half

51-37

 

[Steve Williams]

59-42 Celtics at the half

looking good Phil

 

[Steve Williams]

Celtics look unstoppable. Making all the shots

lead by 21 early in the 3rd

 

[Steve Williams]

Terrific win today by the Celts.
Phil. I’m shocked how they annihilated the Raptors today. This is when basketball becomes the best to watch

 

[Steve Williams]

I’m hoping for a great win by the Mavs later

sorry Mike but you’re know I’m still calling Clipps to win. It’s just that I love watching Luka play

 

[Steve Williams]

What a game as Mavs lead the Clipps at end of 1st

I hope this series goes 7 games as IMO it’s the best series

 

[WLVCA]

What a stupid play by Morris fouling Luca. He deserved to get tossed.
