Speaking of the playoffs I'm all in favor of the Celtics raising another banner.

I'm not!!!!

I'm not!!!!

A little surprised a Lakers fan wouldn't want the Celtics to raise another banner.

Although I would like to see a Lakers v Celtics Finals tbh

Sixers fans booing Jimmy like he played 10 years there lol

 

[flyerhawk]

Sixers are on fire right now.

Anytime the Heat play a really good team, always a nice reminder that Winslow (concussion) and Waiters are very much needed.

LMAO at those Heat clowns on twitters who suggested Robinson should stay in the starting lineup even when Winslow is back

 

[bksballer89]

This team playing like ass. Can't even make simple catches on passes that should have led to an easy bucket

so far, the Lakers are looking like they're playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back...

Depends on how the Clippers do with George on the roster.

If they win a single Championship, it was worth it.

Plus, ya know...

They didn't just trade all those players and picks for George.

They traded them to get George and Kawhi.

Exactly.

OKC got a nice haul. But without that trade, Kawhi is likely on a super team with Lebron and AD.

This has nothing to do with that

It takes 6+ hours to fly from Portland to Miami and 5+ hours from NYC to LA.

Expecting a team to finish playing 10 or 11 PM local time one night, do press conferences, get on a long 5 or 6 hour flight overnight or the next morning to go across the country then play at 7 or 8 PM EST local time the day isn't fair.

I don't know if you ever traveled but it is tiring and I'm not a professional athlete

Exactly. Professional athletes don't travel like regular people. It's not like they're flying coach.

Of all of the excuses used by and for pro athletes, travel is by far the most lame.

Was going to say. They look tired as hell. Too many mistakes being made

Travel time don't change if you're flying coach or first class.

Flying first class doesn't turn a 5+ hr flight to a 2 hour flight

There's a huge difference between flying coach, first class and having chartered flights.

Back in the 70's teams used to travel on commercial flights and play back to back to back games.

Sorry, but for today's players, travel is a lame excuse.

I think its a lame excuse when it is a short enough flight. Going from East to West Coast or vice versa multiple times weekly with no full days of rest due to travel is never going to fly when it comes to removing conferences from the playoffs.

lol

I used to fly from California to Florida several times per year while dragging 2 small children through multiple airports driving myself and those children from the airport to the hotel and then, on no sleep, spend the day entertaining and doing things with them because now they have lots of energy because they slept through most of it.

Any professional athlete who complains about travel is a pussy.

Sixers fans booing Jimmy like they are required to by law there lol

FIFY

I actually feel bad for the Heat at this point.

Nothing to feel bad about.

It is an 82 game season. These games happen almost to everyone at some point during the season.

They're 11-4 and will be just fine
