Goddam Spurs. Good for Victor’s knees, I guess. Interesting summer ahead. Maybe have to say goodbye to Dame. I can live with it if it’s what he wants.

Lots of good coaches out there but I think I’m stuck with Billups and he sucks.





Jokic is amazing. I’d be happy to see Denver get it.

Just when you think Pop is out, they pull him back in with another generational talent big man.

The Basket Kroenkes are cool and I have no problem with any of the players, but they are still the Basket Kroenkes.

Congrats Socnorb.

Go nugs. Ratings will suck because of the markets and lack of LeBron, but it will be a good series and someone is cashing in a legacy defining championship, whether it be Butler or Jokic. Always like adding a superstar to the pantheon for banter purposes.

What a matchup of odd duck superstars, too. Fun.

You look at the Heat, and man… coaching. The Blazers were one of the worst teams in the league with comparable talent. Too bad Paul’s dead. Maybe he’d throw a gazillion dollars at Spo. He has Portland connections.

The potential for physical shenanigans between Butler and Jokic is very high. The potential for physical shenanigans between the Jokic brothers and the Heat crowd? Almost a certainty.

If DeSantis allows the games to happen there. I seem to recall Black History Month warmups for all NBA teams in February. That doesn’t seem unpunishable from a Florida perspective.

Congrats Socnorb.

Thanks.

I've waited 45 years for this, but neither myself ot the team are celebrating. This team is too good to be happy with an appearance in the Finals. Anything short of winning it all will be a disappointment.

If you watch ESPN you'd never know that Denver won this series. Every close loss was a moral victory for the Lakers, and today all that matters is Lebron's future. All good. As Coach Malone said, the old Rocky Mountain cow town will earn their respect on the floor...... don't need it from the media. It would be the same for Portland.

Well unfortunately for the Trailblazers, they've never drafted a sentient loaf of European bread and developed him into the best basketball player on the planet.
