OT: All Non-Hockey Sports Talk (2019-20 edition)

I'm conflicted, want MIA to beat BOS to shut up Smart and who likes BOS in general?
But also don't want MIA to beat BOS because Giannis may see them as the better destination over TOR.

Assuming we see it, I made a $100 bet last night with a friend on Kawhi beating LeBron next round.

Parity is good, even though it would've been cool to see Raptors win it again, maybe the American media would take them seriously then.

Heat 2013 (2014 last finals appereance)
Lakers 2010
Celtics 2008 (2010)
Rockets 1995
Clippers (zero)
Nuggets (zero)

I think the winner of the battle of LA takes it. Maybe we get to see a classic LA vs. Boston in the finals.

I read an article on Wednesday on the Athletic by Eric Koreen that had a quote from Sam Smith of Bulls.com (think the Last Dance documentary). He said the Raptors are the only team to remind him of the 1994 Chicago Bulls, the one year out of seven they didn't win the title (91-93 & 95-97). Name another team that won a title and then lost their best player the next season? (1994 was Jordan's first retirement from basketball & 2020 Kawhi left as a free agent to the Clippers after winning a title with Toronto.)


Hopefully the Raps will be back soon.

Is PG13 hurt or what? Murray is making him look like a traffic cone possession after possession.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Gotta go with the Lakers to win it, a decade after their last title and a fitting tribute to the passing of Kobe this year.

Oh deer

Good luck my Heat fan friends. I would think Boston has run out of gas. That was a hell of a series they played against Toronto. I wouldn't think there's much left in the tank.
