Kings have a credible path to the playoffs ahead of them so of course they'll get smoked by Dallas tomorrow. Dinwiddie is probably dropping 40 while Lavine will shoot 3-16

If someone talked to you
The way you do to you
I'd put their teeth through
Love yourself

And thats what they do
The bastards made you
Not want to look like you
So you pay through the nose
To look like someone else
All the weirdos on the shelf

Love yourself

Views: From a Celtics fan perspective I think the Curry/Butler Warriors would be the ideal Finals opponent. They're both insane playoff competitors and there are plenty of old ghosts to exorcise there. Far preferable to the Lakers imo

I too would rather face a team that barely made it out of a play in game after their opponent's best player got injured than a team with lebron, luka, and probably the leagues best 3rd option

I have been repeatedly conditioned not to underestimate either playoff Jimmy or playoff Steph, and would like to settle it against them. The C's have already beaten playoff Luka, it's been done

The (modern) Celtics and Heat now have a tied record in the playoffs against each other, but Jimmy wasn't present for the last one. Need to beat him again

Counterpoint: I am looking forward to the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES facing off against the ORLANDO MAGIC in the finals

The league needs to show off it's up and coming stars, and Jayson Tatum isn't a rookie this year after winning last year. It would also be great for the best defensive center since Dwight and Shaq was able to defeat the team that refused to win for these elite big men, a narrative for winners that will stand the test of time.

I would also be happy with the CHICAGO BULLS as both teams have finally cleansed themselves of the bad vibes if Jimmy Butler and they could laugh at him as he fails to win a ring. Looking forward to a tie series as the teams lift the trophy together in solidarity

If my team doesn't make it, this would be an acceptable matchup to me, if unlikely

Thunder/Cavs would also be fun and a better bet

Sorry for making the day just a bit worse for you. :(

I have only been to the Mavs arena and the Pels arena. The Mavs one is infinitely more impressive but it also struck me as more impersonal? I dunno. Hometown bias, probably. The rim mics at Dallas are way too loud, of course, and it was so bright in there, like a Wal-Mart.

My problems with the SKC are the speakers either suck or they won't get anyone to properly balance them, the seats in the balcony feel cheaper than they should, and the bathrooms need some better care. I am either ok with or like just about everything else about it. The concourses are wide enough (imo), the viewing angles are actually great, the screens displaying highlights and info about the game are good. Maybe the team store could be bigger?
