Man, if the Wiz/Celts go 7, ECF won't start until a week from Wednesday.

If that happens I'm gonna start rooting for the Heat.
Celts will have one of the most interesting offseasons of any team i can remember.

so much potential, so many assets, movable pieces etc.......

who knows what that team will look like DAy 1 next year. Its kinda stupid to talk about seeing as how they are still in the middle of the playoffs---- in a GREAT series--- but its fun to speculate....

I thought the Cavs were a big proponent or rest, shouldn't that be a good thing?
it is - to a certain extent

id be good with 6 days...id say that was ideal.....when you get over that, it seems to be a bit much

hwoever, id rather have 9 days rest than 1 days rest....whcih is what i think the Celts or Wiz would be on if it goes 7.

Yeah, good for the Cavs, I'm just impatient. Hopefully the other series can provide some entertainment in the meantime.

Never been to Vegas and honestly I have a pretty bad gambling problem when I get going and I would probably have to move back home in less than a month.

Vegas isn't for you then. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of cool stuff to do out there outside of hanging out in casinos. But the urge to gamble is everywhere. Grocery stores, gas stations. Hell I'm waiting for a greedy Vegas casino to install slot machines on the door of the shitter so you could literally shit your money away. Gambling was never an issue for me so when I lived out there it didn't get me. I just didn't play. Unfortunately many others can't say the same.

Wiz, Celtics, Bucks def. seem to be the teams that, going forward- will be on the Cavs radar in the East.

No one is gonna beat the Cavs in the EAst next year unless injury happens.....but- LeBron cant win the East a decade in a row can he? i mean- at some point- some team is gonna step up.

i gotta think itll be either the Bucks, Celtics or Wiz.

i cant believe Milwaukee lost to the awful stinking horrible destitute Toronto Raptors with Beasley on the team......how is it even possible? the suck-ass Raptors who were in the Conference Finals last year, won a playoff series this year- and would have been favored if they played either the Wiz or Bos. instead of the Cavs---- those suck ass Raptors with no heart and no dignity that just laid down and took it from the Cavs somehow beat a team with Michael Beasley? that shit just doesnt add up.

Raptors are mentally weak IMO.

It'll be interesting to see what the roster looks like once all is said & done. Ainge has worked a little magic in the past w/ the KG & Allen trades. Would love to see something like that happen. Not saying it will happen but @ the very least if they don't trade that high pick for something that could make them instant contenders hopefully they make the right pick.

Yeah when I first got out there I thought that was really weird. It took a little time to get used to seeing gambling everywhere. But after all that's what Lost Wages is all about.

According to Draymond... the Warriors are handling the Jazz with ease because the Warriors are just that good, whereas the Cavs handled the Raptors with ease because the Raptors are just bad. He said the Jazz are competing but the Raptors didn't.

Green wishes Cavs had better competition

thats the thing.....

there is a tipping point- where if the roster gets good enough- they could lure a big time free agent.

I mean- say they trade for Jimmy Butler.

If Blake Griffin is thinking about signing outside of LAC (which for all accounts he isnt)- doesnt he all of a sudden have to think about it?

what if they deal NEXT years brooklyn pick, brown and smart and another first rounder for Butler or George

all of a sudden you still have - lets say Fultz, Thomas, Crowder, Bradley, Horford, Butler--- and can carve out max room for Griffin

its not a HUGE stretch to imagine they have something like:

PG- IT/Fultz
SG- Butler/Bradley
SF- Crowder
PF- Griffin
C- Horford

Yep everywhere. Even in the airport to get you started as soon as you land, or give you your last fix before you leave. LOL
