I'm a big perk fan

 

[trojanfan12]

I tried watching 2 games last night and the feel just wasn’t close to there for me. Maybe will be better when the games mean a little more but we will see. Will take some getting used to I guess.

It's funny. Of the 3 major sports, baseball is #3 for me, so I mostly use it as background noise when I'm doing stuff around the house or am online...so it really wasn't all that different for me.

I always tend to lean towards the fear or what's the worst that can happen, and they still have LeBron/AD. The rest of the team ain't great but playoffs are about superstars first and foremost. I'd be very happy to see your Thunder upset them in round 2 if they get that matchup.

It's going to be interesting with the Lakers...because of not being as deep as other teams, they should be at a disadvantage vs. for example, the Clips and probably a couple of others too.

On the other hand, we're going to get a Lebron who has been off for 4 months and isn't worn out from having to carry a team to the playoffs...not to mention an AD who should be completely healthy instead of dealing with nagging injuries.

Don't know if that's enough...but it should be fun finding out.

He's right.

I don't think the Heat are coming out of the East, but I think they're going to have a say in who does and it wouldn't exactly be a big upset if they did make it out.

Lotsa fear on here about the Lakers winning the title.

It is always something with Bagley

Didn't even return to regular season games before getting hurt this time.

If you're a Lakers fan that should be fun finding out, as a Kings fan there is less fun to be had. Unless the Lakers get knocked out, then there will be some fun.

No matter what it's gonna be weird, agreed.

Ehh you get used to it pretty fast. After the first 2 weeks of soccer, the no fans thing didnt bother me

yeah soccer doesn’t really seem weird to me.

Yeah soccer isn't bad at all especially after they did the fake fan noise. Baseball will take some type to get used to. Basketball should be ok imo. After watching the TBT, i dont think it'll be too weird

What is their criteria?

Anything other than personal interest and it is a really terrible list.

Thanks, good luck to your Celtics. Might not be a big fan of them but they are a better choice than some other teams left.

Been a fan of the Celtics since the days of Larry Legend. Went to my first game at original Boston Garden during the '80-'81 season.
