Had so much fun with rivalry in the 80's. One of my closest friends was a die hard Celtics fan. We used to watch every game together at the same bar. It was a blast.

Maybe I'm a bit biased but I don't think the NBA has had a rivalry like that since. Both Bird & Magic meant so much to the league considering where the NBA was in the late 70's. I still miss those days. Alotta damn good teams from that era.

Louisville-FSU went into OT....

Remember the UFL (united football league)? I went to the Las Vegas Locomotives 1st home game in '09. It was some funny stuff. The refs were dressed in black & red & I'm telling you they looked just like the blackjack dealers @ Sams Town Casino.

lol when good ol ' Vincent Kennedy McMahon had the XFL going me and my son went to see the Chicago Fire 's the LA xpress...

his daughter Stephanie was doing the opening MC honors...

The Noles win in triple OT after they stop the Cards 2 point try. Ooppss, wrong sport.

I remember that.....I think he tried to start it up again and it never went anywhere.



Shock!!!!

Lebron, Rondo, Rich Paul, and Randy Mims are at the Duke/UVA game

Probably there to talk to Kryzewski about a trade for Zion.

Vaguely.....I remember the XFL....


Rod Smart.....LOL.

Things like this is why I think a Lakers/Warriors series would be interesting. It would be the best Warriors/Lebron series since the 2016 finals. Lakers got multiple guys that can defend and multiple guys that can create on their own as well.

Excluding the Center position, Lakers can throw a defensive lineup like this 1-4

Ball/Rondo
Stephenson/KCP
Ingram
Lebron

That is damn good IMO. Also even though Kuzma is a poor defender, against the Warriors you can hide him by having him guard Draymond or Iggy.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think a healthy Lakers bunch vs the Warriors is at least a 6 games series.

This Laker team with LeBron is better than the Cleveland team the Warriors swept in the Finals last year. The toughest matchups in the West for the Ws are OKC, Houston, and LA.

Each year is different. The league has closed some of the gap and while the Ws are still favorites, it's by less than ever. There is no guarantee they win a title this year. Like every title, luck will play a part.

Yep.....that was funny as fuck.

Agree. Easily my favorite era of basketball.

Going after AD might be too big of a gamble for the Celtics. It's gonna take a lot to get him. Don't wanna see the Celtics give a bunch of talent away for a 1 year rental.

Gotta be aggrssive if they want to win titles.

Yeah can't really argue w/ that. But I still don't like the idea of trading for him. Now I think an AD for Kyrie + a draft pick or two is fair. But I'm also just a little biased.

Yeah, with their assets, I'd think they'd go after someone that they know they can keep or at least have under team control for more than 1 year.

Having said that, if there's a team with the assets to be able to put together a package that the Pels will take and still be in good shape if AD leaves after 1 season, it's definitely the Celtics.

I just hope whatever Ainge ends up doing in the off season is the right choice.

No one likes giving up existing players in trades. But sometimes you have to give up quality to get quality.

IMO, when you are a winning team, it is better to have the player than hope to sign them in FA. Especially someone like AD who has little playoff success to his resume.
