@mariner4life I was watching it live and he was giving it to JJ Reddick for calling Ayton a great player. Love JJ and he backs his stuff up with stats, but Pat was on fire!
What show was that on?

as my fist post said, it was basically a televised Silver Fern rant. It was great TV don't get me wrong.
And in a way, i respect it and wish pro sports had more of it, rather than the bullshit say nothing/buddy buddy crap we have now.
Sport needs real rivalries with feeling again!

It was First Take with Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim.

Not a big Stephen A fan myself

The most annoying guy on ESPN. His whole schtick is to yell louder than anyone else to get his point across. Obviously PB outdid him!
-
I don’t mind Stephen A when he is on the panel with Jalen Rose, Michael Wilbon and Greenberg- but the other 90% of the time he is way to shouty
-
My favourite show is PTI. I enjoy Jalen and Jacoby. I've started watching This Just In with Max Kellerman which is quite good. Around the horn is mindless filler, and I'm generally not up when Mike Greenberg is on but his show is quite a good watch when I do
-
Patrick Beverly continues to make waves, clearly the paymasters at ESPN are liking the disruption

I can't tell if it is all for show, or if JJ Reddick genuinely dislikes PB. Probably just irritated because Pat is clearly wrong when it comes to James Harden. No way is he a max player now, the guy is diminished and can't carry a team, and he has a pea heart

Smart and Horford miss game 1 thanks to Covid protocols!!

Magic get 1
OKC get 2 (and 12)
Houston

Detroitif i read it right, the Lakers don't have a pick in the first 2 rounds??!!
-
Jason Tatum is quite good at the basketball

Guess when you've just beaten the Bucks without Middleton over 7 games, you can't complain too much about losing a couple of your own blokes for a game or 2

No Lowry tonight, but Vincent is playing well.
The Heat defence is scrappy and swarming.
Celts threatening to get into the lead here in the 4th but Heat keep answering.
-
that run to start the 3rd changed the game completely.
And as you say, the Heat are so good defensively, once you are chasing the game it gets difficult.
-
Celtics were always going to lose that one IMO, coming off a bruising series against the Bucks and without Smart and Horford.
They are currently $4.20 to win the title with Sportsbet and I think that's overs. I think they are better than the three other teams remaining and what I saw in Game 1 doesn't change my view.

I thought they had one provided it wasn't in the top 10, in which case they have to give it to NO

Agree with all of that.
Question is when they get Smart (foot) and Horford (Covid) back. Smart was a big loss today, made it a lot easier for Herro (who has been terrible these playoffs so far) and Vincent to get going. They're both important cogs in that Boston defense.
I've got Boston in 6, provided they get those guys back.
-
@voodoo Miami will want Lowry back as soon as possible too given his experience and gritty play.
@barbarian only point I’ll make to counter yours is that the first game in a playoff series can be a banana skin for the home team with the expectation and pressure not to drop it.
-
i know it's the first half of the first game of the series, with the away side coming off a game 7 but
there are some danger signs for the Mavs here
Klay is a non-entity, Curry is working hard and pulling players around but not scoring, so Poole and Wiggins are doing the scoring, and making it look easy. Mavs can't guard everybody, and the Warriors are so good at moving the ball, and have so many guys who can shoot.
Remember last season when Poole was in the G-League?
-
Ugly game. Mavs had heaps of great looks in the first half, but 11-48 from 3 ain't gonna get it done.
If you can't stay with GSW when Steph and Klay are off, you're not beating them when they come good!
I reckon this series goes long, I've got Dallas bouncing back in G2
