But when I was watching, Marcus Smart -- aside from missing a few shots -- was displaying the kind of heart and hustle and tenacity that you want from a guy in the playoffs, and Gordon Hayward was displaying the kind of mustache that you want from the lead in a high school musical when he has to play an adult. And little else of note. |

Yes, the Celtics problems start with Tatum disappearing for long stretches and Jaylen Brown being wildly inconsistent, but activity on the court doesn't always equal productivity. No one argues Smart is active. But he shouldnt be taking 13 threes in a make or break conference finals game. Lotta guys have heart and okay hard. Some are actually talented though. |

Let's be charitable and say Lakers in 5.
But keep the brooms nearby. |

It’s still going to be 5, but I’ve enjoyed this Jimmy Butler performance, which are words I never expected to type.

Still room on the bandwagon. Everyone will be appropriately socially distanced.

I’m on it. If we see a better performance from Bam in game 6, especially if AD still hobbled, then maybe we’ll get 7 out of this.

If you appreciate team basketball, then the defensive effort from the Lakers in Game 6 has to be high on your list.
Yeah, Butler's legs are shot after 70 minutes in this series, but the Lakers put the clamps on and haven't let go. |

Absolutely. Totally impressive. Has there been anyone still physically at the top of their game at such a late age as the King? At the age of 36, Jordan’s prowess was more mental (an under appreciated facet of LBJ) than physical.

On the other hand: a couple new bikes for the kiddos.

Edit: I also wonder when the hoop heads addled with 90s nostalgia (me, for example) will admit that LeBron has a legitimate claim to GOAT status. Almost 10 years straight in the finals.
Yes, Russell, but that was a different era. |
