Minnesota - Dallas will be all time great series if Luka is healthy enough

 

[Nomad]

You were right. Denver go out. Very good series all the same. Can the Wolves win the title ?

I do think they can win the title. They have a future superstar in AE & they're peaking at the right time. Though it went 7 games, they took down the mighty Nuggets & the MVP - that's saying something right there.

Thought the Pacers had that game won. Crazy finish.

Celtics go two up with an easy win.

 

[Forever The Best]

Celtics having the easiest path to the finals with injuries. And then media will anoint Tatum as 'best player in the league' lol.

 

[movingtarget]

Mavs are getting it done. Kyrie doing better with Luka than he did with his co-stars at the Celtics and Nets. Both of them are showing the Wolves how to finish games and both have been great in the playoffs.

 

[movingtarget]

Dallas look like sweeping the Wolves !

Dallas - Boston what a finals ahead of us

Still looking for the photos of John Howard and Bill Walton together at Amgen TOC and Redlands Cycling Classic. I know he reads CN from time to time, wondering if Floyd Landis has any photos w Walton or Eddie B or Danny Van Haute.

Wolves get one back.

 

[BullsFan22]

Total domination today by the Mavs. I give them a decent chance in beating the Celts.

 

[movingtarget]

Should be an interesting final. Kyrie been in great form as has Luka. Seems the Wolves played their final against Denver !

 

[snipeheem]

Since the all star break mavs are the best team in the league, they have legit shot. Lets go Lukita

WNBA:
The WNBA is experiencing increased popularity, and what are they doing with it? Flushing it down the toilet. Bad officiating and cheap shots on one of the players who has pulled in a lot of new fans is a recipe for going directly back to where they were.

 

[movingtarget]

Celtics get Porzingis back and grab an easy win. Off night for Kyrie. Maybe his worst game of the playoffs.

 

[movingtarget]

Celtics go two up and look on track for the title. Celtics doing a good job on Kyrie.

At this moment its like watching Lebron vs Warriors, 1vs5.. kyrie has to be better or its sweep

 

[snipeheem]

3-0. Its over

 

[BullsFan22]

Jason Kidd calls a timeout when his team was on a 20-2 run. Then the refs call 2 bogus calls and that’s all she wrote. Feel bad for the Mavs. Had they won that game after a good fightback in the 4th, being down 21, they could have had some momentum and potentially send it back to Boston at 2-2 and who knows what would have happened then. Now they’ll be deflated and unlikely they win game 4. Hopefully they are able to avoid a sweep and fight for pride.

[gregrowlerson]

Surprisingly a mammoth win by the Mavs today. Though I suspect that the Celtics and their fans won't get at all nervous unless they drop game 5 at home.

WNBA:

I finally had the time in my life to watch a full game this morning. IND vs. CHI. Its was pretty good basketball. I saw about 12 missed layups though which is not acceptable in HS let alone the pros, but...

BOS hangs another banner!
