    Yeah, if Milwaukee has a healthy Middleton, they're likely repeating.

    yeah, we hear nothing about middleton's absence, but a lot about some guy named time lord missing 3 games.

    sure. but we heard about that endlessly. you'd think boston trounced the full-strength bucks instead of eeking by them minus their second-best player who's a perennial allstar at this point.

    but robert williams missed 2 games.

    exactly. the media's love for boston isn't even thinly veiled. that's my only problem with them. a dumb nickname for a 5th starter is treated as some sort of awesome piece of nba trivia and peppered all over long-form paeans to a 51-win team that got lucky and hot at the right time.

    It's all in your head fellers. It's like when you listen to a game and think the announcers are cheering for the other team. No one gives two s***s about the C Bags but their dillweed fan base.

    that's a weird gloat in the quoted portion--his star is 34 and his next-highest paid guy is 32 and coming off two huge injuries that make him play like he's 35. your youth played basically zero minutes in the last two rounds of the playoffs.

    the second part of the quoted portion (that gs is rich and spends more than everyone) is the reason why you can get away with all that.

    anyway, gs is the class of the league until curry retires, so i guess lacob can crow. but i'm not sure it goes beyond that. SA was the class of the league, then duncan retired, and they're a gentleman's sacramento. gs's ownership can keep them more relevant than that, but i think maybe he's not understanding how much rests on curry.

    the funny thing is that lacob grew up a lakers fan

    just shows the lakers are still the league's premier franchise. no matter what happens, its the lakers who will always be in the back of everyone's minds

    they should be proud and happy. and they should enjoy it for the next (max) two years. cuz kuminga and moody and wiseman are interesting, but they ain't it.
