It's Giannis, believe it

Kyrie Irving vs. Giannis Antokouncompo, what a nice ring. The Closer vs. Phenom. The telling of the tape presents:

Brook Lopez vs. Aron Baynes = Bucks

Al Horford vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo = Bucks

Kris Middleton vs. Jason Tatum = same

Sterling Brown vs. Jaylen Brown = Boston

Eric Bledsoe vs. Kyrie Irving = Boston

Coaching = Bucks
Budenholzer been here before with less talent (The Atlanta Hawks 2016) Boston might have a problem on their hands.

Bench=Boston
Some guys on Boston Bench would be starters on other teams.  However, both teams are missing keys players Brodgan for the Bucks and Smart for Celtics. 

Close edge, Boston in 7

Wild Wild Westbrook

Bruh, Westbrook took three 17 foot jump shots and missed all in 3 straight possessions. That did it for me, "Oh got dammit pass the ball, set up a play do anything, but shoot ". Westbrook think he playing one on one out there. I'm trying to hold back my emotions for Mr. Triple double, but its not winning basketball.

Finally have to admit it, Westbrook maybe  not a number one player on a championship team. His talents are infamous, but his strength might be his weakness. Westbrook needs to relied on his teammates more and spend his energy on defensive side of the ball. Cause Damien Lillard is laying the smack down on his candy.

Warriors come out and play

What this?? 31 point comeback from the lonely LA Clippers?? Doomsday is upon us! Might not get out of the 1st round, what are we going to do?

The answer is to quit! Boogie out for the season and now the NBA will finally be a competitive league. 

Oh, I guess I'm just dreaming again, the WARRIORS still have Steph, KD, Klay, Draymond and Andre. Yeah we good..

Boo birds flying

I have never been to Philadelphia, but the fans are famous for booing. However,  Ben Simmons of 76ers is above being booed. I'm sure the reason is not his absence of a jumpshot, but absence of the team not staying in front of there man. Playoffs is about man to man, not zones. D-Russ was coming off the pick shooting and no one could stop it.  The 76ers will learn from there mistakes by reacting from those boos birds flying and taking a dump on the team. Their a cause and effect to everything, like playing no defense will get you bump in the 1st round. That why the fans boo and have every right to. 

Playoffs, playoffs

Indiana Pacers
Vs
Boston Celtics

Really hate this matchup both play hard, but Boston is fill with talent. They might lose game 1, but not the series. At every starter position there is a potential all star or rising star. Boston chemistry will win or lose the series. I look for matchups at each position. I start with starters, than the bench and lastly the coach. Intangibles usually balance itself out.

The Pacers are well coached, methodical positive team. However, basketball is about wills and who can push there will further. This time Boston is a little too hard.

Oklahoma Thunder
Vs.
Portland Trail blazers

Let's do the damn thing,  a 2nd round matchup in the 1st round. Wow, what else can you ask for? Matchup wise Thunder is a heavy favorite, but Wild Wild Westbrook is the X-factor.  If he can control the game or his game they will be just fine. But, when he decided to be everything than he is not challenging his guys to be better. Teammates probably thinking (Oh, Russ got it) and Russ don't always have it. Leadership is not always just setting a example, its sometimes teaching others there role. If Russ can do that it will make his job that much easier. Also, easier to win a ring.

The too late lake show

What are we talking about here - crying, there's no crying in basketball.  I'm sure all know Earvin 'Magic' Johnson have stepped down as president of basketball operations for the LA Lakers. Whoa, is this happening one of the best to ever play the game quitting. No, Magic couldn't get his way so is bowing out. Rob Pelinka,  Jeanie Buss and the Best PG ever  couldn't see eye to eye.  From my understanding Rob wanted more input on team decisions and Magic wanted him gone or a fresh start from the top down.  Just another power struggle, but Magic wanted to take the attention from the big changes that the Lakers have to make during the draft and off season.
