Is that real?

There is nothing worse than Michael Bolton.

MAYBE Kenny G? Or Steven Seagal?

So as detestable as the idea of this NBA Finals matchup was to me at its outset... the scenario set up by the Warriors having a 3-2 lead, leads to two somewhat satisfying schadenfreudeian (sp?) outcomes:
1. Warriors win and Celtics fans cry, while I'm safely at a distance from any lame Warriors celebration.
2. Warriors blow 3-2 lead, losing game 7 at home, Warriors choke on their own tears.

Not comet, but not horrible.

Love these kind of takes.

"His only basketball skill is dunking." - Harden on Giannis

"He is nothing but a system player." - KD on Kawhi

"Ain't nothing I haven't seen before." - Westbrook on Curry before the WCF game where Curry breaks the 3 point record

"Scottie Barnes is the ROTY over Mobley." - Media

I want what is behind door number 2, Bob. To get there, Celtics have to win tonight. It's a must-win game at home, I give them a 55% chance to win.

I'd give them 60%, but the Celtics have been remarkably unimpressive on offense. Poor shot selection and lots of turnovers.

7 game series on the way w/o one game being within single digits.

It's a problem with the product, boys.

Five minutes in and Boston already has a 10 point lead because they can't miss from 3 and Golden State can't hit a 3.

The product is predictable.

Ok, GSW closes to within 4 behind some poor rebounding and poor offense by Boston.

I have no confidence the Celtics will win at home.

GSW went from 12 down to 5 up in the quarter. Doesn't look good for Boston.

2nd quarter - no better. 5 straight for GSW. Timeout after 50 seconds.
