The Garden is gonna be rocking it's over.

The Heat are too mentally fragile. Pierce and Rondo to destroy.

Last four teams to win the NBA title in order.
Dallas
Lakers(back to back)
Boston
Spurs

Was going to wait because both series are FAR from over. But if OKC is going to win the title. They are going to beat the last 4 teams to win the title in the process. Kinda crazy. Core group for every team remains the same.

Spurs and Dallas are different teams than the ones that won the titles and Lakers and Boston are older and not as good.

Still a crazy stat and impressive feat. Belittle it if you want. Defeating the last 4 teams to win the title is impressive. But they are a long, long way from pulling that off. Just one of those fun stats. Spurs had the best record in basketball and were considered invincible until OKC ended their amazing win streak. Boston has been underrated and under appreciated all season. The best 3 players on all 4 teams remain on roster. But obviously you can see the importance of role players in not just that stat but just observing these Conference Finals. Role players being the difference so far in both series. Tim Legler had a great stat about the 4th quarter possessions for Boston and Heat last night. Haslem had 1 point, I think Chalmers had 1 three but the rest of the points in 4th were Bron or Wade. Celtics had 6 players alternate scoring the entire quarter.

I'm not putting them down. It's a great achievement for such a young team if they win the title. The scariest thing is if they stay together and stay hungry then we can be watching the next Bulls/Lakers like dynasty where they win 5-6 titles in the next decade.

Great finish by the Celtics tonight. Garnett playing strong and Rondo continues looking like one of the best guards in the league.

Rondo Keeps moving up the record books with 13, 12, 17 tonight.

Also,

Rondo's 13 assists last night was his 39th career playoff game with 10 or more assists, which set a Celtics franchise record previously held by Bob Cousy.

Rondo, in four playoff runs (90 games), is already 19th all-time in playoff assists. He'll pass Billups (140 games) and Havlicek (172 games) Thursday to move to 17th all time.

What happens to Mia after then get beat? Who gets traded? Spo probably gets the axe too

Who cares Honestly if I were Riley I'd try to trade Bosh and Chalmers for Bogut and Curry.

great start from the Spurs early on tonight

Stephen Jackson aint fuckin around

He's on fire.

Now is OU gonna go to The Finals? I might make an appearance if the Celtics make it.

What a comeback from the Soni... Thunder

Hell yeah, Imma do my best to be at a game. Would be cool to see a Finals game. Saw a World Series game when Rangers played Giants, I was actually at the only game the Rangers won in that series. IF Celtics make it, AV/Sig bet? I can spot you a game

Ya I'll do it.

OKC just won 4 straight vs the 2nd best team in the NBA, IMO OKC is clearly the best team in the NBA this season. It's going to take some poor performances from OKC and/or an amazing streak from the Eastern Conference Champion for that series to be interesting. Injuries raped the East this season, they aren't on the same level as the West. In reality, Lakers might be the 3rd best team the NBA this season.

However:
Westbrook-Rondo(both slightly banged up right now), The Truth vs Iceberg Slim and Perk vs KG are some fun matchups.

Did I ever tell you I have a Paul Peirce rookie card? Worked out much better then my Jermaine O'Neal rookie card.

He is the only player on Spurs I actually like. Hope he isn't there next year.

Heat, Celtics and a healthy Bulls team would all beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

Bulls aren't healthy, which is the entire point. Whose to say a healthy Orlando wouldn't beat Boston and/or Heat? I think Lakers have a great shot vs any of them as they currently stand(with the injuries).

Heat and Celtics beat the Lakers. Right now I have it-

1. Thunder
2. Spurs
3. Celtics
4. Heat
5. Lakers
