Mikan was never a Timberwolve.
Trivia question: How did the Clippers enter the NBA?
They moved from San Diego to LA, I predict this year both the Lakers and Celtics are going home in the first round of the playoffs, we are almost equally as pathetic.
The Clippers were the Buffalo Braves before SD. I think they go back to about 68 off the top of my head.
The West, which is much tougher than the East imo. Celts have much better odds. Also, Rondo always ups his game come the playoffs. He can carry them through any series. Though, the Heat would have to be pretty dang banged up.
They came into the NBA in 1973 as the Buffalo Braves with the Portland Trailblazers and Cleveland Cavaliers.Mikan was never a Timberwolve.I don't hate Jerry West. I can't say I care anything for Donald Sterling's whooping boy. Nor do I hate the late George Mikan. He's one of my favorite Minnesota Timberwolves.

Is it just me, or does Rondo look like the Planters Peanuts guy?The West, which is much tougher than the East imo. Celts have much better odds. Also, Rondo always ups his game come the playoffs. He can carry them through any series. Though, the Heat would have to be pretty dang banged up.
Oh, shut-up!Yup. He was on the Minneapolis Timberwolves. The T-Wolves won like 5 championships with him. Personally, I think the LA Lakers should give the T-Wolves their name back.
The worst refereed series was the '83 Championship series between the Lakers and Sixers. That red-headed, piece of shit, Jess Kersey would call a foul everytime the Lakers would get a little momemtum going. Fuck that fucker! He just wanted to see Dr.J get a ring. That's all.You have to play perfect ball to beat the refs to get through Miami like Dallas did in 2011, Boston was close last year but that rigged game 2 really sealed the deal. In my opinion our team this year isn't as good as the one last year, on paper it looks better but our team last year was a tougher team that can grind out games, this new Celtics team doesn't play that kind of ball.

You've got to be blind as a bat not to have noticed Kersey's calls!I just got done watching a game or two of the 83 series. I didn't see anything that makes me agree with your analysis at all. And personally, I don' think the league had any interest in marketing a 37-year-old on the way out of the league. The Lakers were w/o Worthy and the Sixers went way deeper (arguably the deepest team in the history of the league). Nor was Magic playing at a dominant level yet. Also, the Sixers had the last 3 MVPs (4 of last 5). The Sixers had home court advantage. The sweep was pretty easy to foresee. Also, the NBA's politics of rigging games really didn't begin til 84. That was when Stern became commish.

Well, that's okay.Do you have any examples? It's been a month or two since I watched Game 4. But I thought it was well officiated from what I recall.
I will say that I found it suspicious that the NBA was constantly using the same refs in the early 80's games. But I've watched enough that I've never subscribed to conspiracy theories outside of those oddities.
That was an era in which they played physical. If both teams were allowed to play physical then it was fair enough. Watch the 84 NBA Finals Game 6 and you'll see the advent of ghost fouls. They gave McHale 3 fouls in 3 minutes of play in the first half for nothing.

You're a Celtics fan?
That ain't gonna happen!If the Lakers and The Green Meanies become irrelevant, I'll care about the NBA for around .............
7 or 8 seconds.
And so will most other people.
We've won 5 in a row and we're playing like a different team now. Nash is so good, he's just sick! He's like a caucasian Earvin Johnson. They outta start calling him "White Magic"!Kobe took 41 shots last night. Lakers aren't going anywhere if/when he keeps playing hero ball.
