    nothing, really. he's basically the same guy he was here with a green light on a bad team.

    still mad we traded him for russ, but i don't think re-acquiring him would solve problems for us.

    Kuz is living the life, getting paid, getting stats,losing is irrelevant, he's already got a ring. Same situation as Poole.

    OKC is demolishing the Pelicans. That young team is really dangerous.

    The Pelicans don't have their best player either. OKC should sweep them.

    True, but the Thunder are just better, Zion or no Zion. I agree, they should sweep the Pelicans. They should also beat the Mavs after Luka puts the Clips out of their misery.

    Mavs will take them out in 6. Dallas and Minnesota, are equal to Denver IMO.

    I don't think Dallas will take them out. But Denver would, for sure. Experience counts.

    Kyrie and Luka aren't experienced? The Mavs were in the Conference Finals, two seasons ago with an inferior team. It might be Luka's turn this season.

    OKC methinks he was referring to, latter part of the thought?

    Ah no, you misunderstood. I mean OKC vs Denver is where experience counts. My opinion on Thunder-Mavs is: close series, Thunder win due to home court advantage, better defense and slightly better execution. But it'd be close. Vs Denver... Nuggets win, no question.

    In NHL both teams who were expecting to get swept escape elimination today.
    Let's go,but they have real coaches unlike Lakers

    Or it might just be Luka's turn, to shine, and get to the Finals.

    Love is blind; hope springs eternal; never say die: I admire your commitment and wish I felt the same: Lakers make history by coming back from 0-3 to win 4 straight against a team that owns...owned us.

    IF it doesn't go your (my?) way and we lose and don't put up a decent fight, I want the faithful to get the ball rolling (accelerated?) by booing loudly: I'd like to see some canned Ham. If it happens, I think Jeannie & Co wait until after the Finals, in which DEN or MIN beats BOS in 6. (Can't see OKC beating BOS: they went into BOS for their only game there earlier this year: got waxed by 35: too young for the Finals this year.)

    We're alive, the curse is broken. Maybe we can win 2, who knows? I mean, I would not put my $$ on it, but it's possible now that our guys gained some confidence.
