C'mon, Lance.

Don't do this, we got a good thing going the last 3.5-4 days.

Nothing personal, @The Q but if I buy a sports franchise you will not be employed by myself.

It'll be myself, @thunderc, @bksballer89 (need some guys that like to gamble and shoot their shot), @trojanfan12, @Black Adam, @tlance (my scouting department), and maybe @Mecca.....we gonna need some sammiches and eye candy.

I'm just playing, Mecca, you know me, I got jokes......please do not get remote controlled Big Red headed in my direction. Thanks.
And just a FYI.......I'm only a few billion short....

For the smart asses out there lurking. You know who you are. LOL.

Just speaking truth

Laker and Celtic fans are way too worried about what the other is doing.

When it has almost zero impact on how your season plays out.

Says the guy whose team doesn't have a rivalry.

Yeah, that is true.

Seriously though, let’s say the Celtics and Lakers never again face off in the Finals.

At what point do people stop talking about them as rivals?

Well, it's been 14 years since they last met in the finals and there was what? A 20+ year gap between the last Showtime/Bird Celtics final and the Kobe/Pau Lakers vs. PP/KG Celtics finals and no one stopped.

Sooo...never? :noidea:

Or maybe when folks my age who can remember when it seemed like it was Lakers/Celtics damn near every year are no longer around?

Most rivalries are based on a division or conference opponent that play each other more often.

Maryland was always a rival for UVA. Once they moved out of the ACC?

Not at all.

In 40 years when nobody can remember the Bird/Magic era, think that might be different.

They will always be rivals if they are within a few titles of each other?

Boston missed their chance to really make the rivalry real again today. Bunch of pussies now days. It’s just business.

I agree, what’s the harm holding someone hostage? It’s supposed to be a business.
Exactly if Bronny was goin to get drafted by the Lakers then make it happen naturally. Not by making threats

Hope LeBron know this look bad on him as well because logical assumption is he made the decision and Paul was just the messenger
