    Tequilla predictably slithers out once the Warriors win, arrogantly proclaiming the up-by-six Cavaliers were doomed to lose at half and mocks anyone who thought otherwise as worthy of scorn. He makes Dawgman basketball posters look like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    Wrong

    I mock Dead Dog on the Road because that’s what I like to do

    I give Haie shit for posting daily updates about a Portland team that got swept in Round 1

    I give you shit because you let your bias of where you live irrationally cloud your judgement on the Warriors. Also, because of your age you are on the cut line for not really ever watching MJ play at the time and because LBJ is the greatest you’ve seen with your eyes you get irrational with anybody that doesn’t agree with your opinion
    Yeah but that was a GOOD Pelicans team.

    "According to Chris Mannix of Yahoo Sports, the Celtics are "scared" that Kyrie Irving might leave Boston next summer via free agency.

    Irving, who is currently recovering from knee surgery, can opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent in July of 2019. Mannix believes that Irving landing in New York is a possibility. "I think they're scared," said Mannix on his podcast. "I think they're scared and should be scared to some degree of Kyrie Irving walking in 2019. I know he had a great year, but you know there are people in Cleveland that will tell you that the Knicks should be considered a real threat for Kyrie Irving. Because Kyrie had talked about it, about playing with the Knicks with some players in that Cleveland locker room from what I was told.""

    /tinfoil hat - boston planted that story so they can trade him without reprecussion

    kyrie is getting a max, and a healthy kyrie is worth a max. how healthy is he though? long term the amount of surgery he's had on his legs/knees, i would be really hesitant. if i was boston and could get a good deal, with where the team is at right now, i'd deal him

    It wouldn’t shock me if Boston traded Kyrie ... not sure of the logistics but Kyrie to New York, Gasol to Boston, and somehow Boston getting the required pick necessary to get Doncic wouldn’t shock me

    Why do they need Doncic? They already have Heyward, Tatum and Brown.

    What they need is a young rim protector, not a skilled but unathletic wing.

    Ayton with Boston would be ideal. I really like the upside to Bagley. I’m not convinced that Jaylen Brown doesn’t become a casualty of upgrading to a big man.

    I’d love to see Boston end up with either Brunson or DiVencenzo with their late first round pick.

    No it's the refs rigging it for a sweep...
