So, it’s over. As expected, last night, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Boston Celtics to win their first round playoff series. The outcome, while annoying, I don’t have a problem with. The Nets are great, and when they are healthy, they are beyond great, and unfortunately, for the Celtics and their fans, they were both in this series. If you’re the Celtics, you tip your cap to them and get healthy. Also, maybe say a prayer, Kemba’s knee isn’t too gone and then get a veteran big who can defend and maybe score a bit.
Again. The fact that the Celtics lost doesn’t bother me….The following does both, bother miss and piss me off!!!!
Per Kevin Durant’s Twitter: ‘this is a spirtual experience’. REALLY?!? I can accept being a world class athelete and basketball player, I can accept being soooo damm good at what he does, but, I as a sports fan, can’t accept this. Was it ‘a spirtual experience,’ leaving OKC for Golden State? You won two titles and Finals MVP, sorry it wasn’t spirtual. Was it ‘spirtual’ leaving Golden State after you had won 2 titles to go to Brooklyn and ball with your boy Kyrie and pal James? Kevin, we call that a business decision. What was best for you and your brand? You made a great choice for you and your brand. But please don’t tweet spirits and destiny because it’s total bullshit.
And I hate to bust up the arm and arm singalong, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is comin! And he’s hungry. Enjoy guarding The Greek Freak for a bit and trying to score against him…..
And oh look, Danny Ainge quit, Brad Stevens quit as coach assumed the former’srole, and the Celtics keep find matches to add to their dumpster fire, instead of trying to find water to extinguish it. Do they go for an experienced coach who has won in college or the pros? Do they go with the wild card, like Stevens was a few years? Somwhere, Rick Pitino is smiling. God….(internal monologue, ‘somehow this is gonna work’….exhale…..wheezy breath, ‘somehow they will be conpetitive next year’. Get a veteran big who can move and shoot a bit, then draft a need, rather than a fit’.
On the plus side, the Yankees won and the Red Sox lost. Good for Clint. Back tomorrow. Thanks for the views.
