2018 NBA playoffs

Would have liked to see the Raptors win but the Cavs especially Lebron are another level. Think they'll sweep Toronto and look for Casey to get let go soon after.

Wake me up when the conference finals start.

Wake me up when the conference finals start.

If Cavs and Celts win tonight and Warriors and Rockets win tomorrow... we will have 4 full days with no basketball.

I'm hoping at least one series goes longer (not the Cavs/Raptors series, please).

Yeah, Round 2 has been more of a disappointment than Round 1 was. Hoping Round 3 will be better.

Shaq & Charles nearly came to blows last night.

 

[Wishbone]

Fake tough guys.

lol I think they play most of that stuff up for the cameras.

 

[tducey]

I think it's all an act between those 2. Well,the West final will be Rockets/Warriors as predicted. Still think it'll be a good series.

Shaq & Charles nearly came to blows last night.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I think they like and respect each other, but there is some genuine animosity there too. Charles is jealous of some of Shaq's accomplishnents.

Yep. I def don't think this is just some act for TV. I think that was legit

I agree.

It's why adding Shaq to TNT was a little surprising t me....they almost came to blows on the court.

 

[DJ]

Barkley

Holy shit....we agree.

 

[DJ]

Shaq giving the older/younger brother analogy....LOL.

I think Shaq described it perfectly. He said "Chuck's the older brother, I'm the younger brother. Brothers fight sometimes."

Both were right to an extent. But Barkley was "more right."

The star player and head coach don't have to have a great relationship like Barkley said, but they have to have a better relationship than Shaq says.

Basically, they have to be able to have a working relationship.

Kobe and Phil are a good example. I don't think anyone would accuse them of having a great relationship. But they knew their best chances at winning a title was with each other, so they made it work.

Has Lebron ever had a great relationship with any of his coaches?

Yeah, I posted that too....
