The Celtics delivered a masterclass finish, sweeping the Pacers 4-0 to secure their spot in the NBA Finals.

BARNES OUT
RIP Bill Walton
Terrible composure from the Pacers at the end but their efforts earlier in the game were only delaying the inevitable really.

It felt like an exam, with time racing by as they hurried to jot down any thought that came to mind.

Posted this prediction about Mavs-Wolves on whatsapp to @OverratedSanity and elsewhere before the series. Pretty pleased to get this right. 
"They are a great team, best defence in the league but I lean Dallas.
Denver took them to 7 without a bench and with only 2-3 starters showing up every game. I know that Dlive, PJ and DJJ will be far more consistent defensively than what Denver threw at them and their offence was still so stagnant Vs Denver, they struggle to crack 100 points without Ant playing far above his level for a couple of games.
With no Bruce Brown, Denver only had a single ball handler in Murray which they could hunt as a pack from the baseline. We have Luka, Kai and even PJ can do a decent job advancing the ball. If they bumrush double triple team Luka at the half court or play drop too deep, it’s going to be $$$ for us with open threes or lobs galore.
We have a massive offensive talent advantage and Rudy is historically food for PNR action. KAT might be great for stopping Jokic but our offence doesn’t run through a big.
They were a team built to beat Denver not us.
They are an elite defence though and Ant has a size mismatch if we put DJJ on him, as good as DJJ is. As we can see from his inconsistent nights though, I don’t believe Ant is a legit super efficient jump shooter when he had the second least efficient mid range shot in the league in the regular season. As long as we can keep him out of the paint, I’m willing to die on his shooting.
Overall, I just don’t trust Gobert. I don’t trust KAT. I don’t trust Ant to be ****in Ray Allen. I don’t trust their other guys to put up enough buckets.
I call 4-2 to the Mavs."

It's not just politics, he is a ****ing moron who happens to be an excellent basketball player. What did Brown say/do...I probably missed it.

He's making a real effort to be legitimately woke, and once or twice got caught up in some antisemitic rubbish while hanging out with BLM types

Kyrie barely squeaks into the top 3 most unlikeable people on the mavs. Cuban and Kidd have the top 2 spots on lock.
Sure, agreed. Plenty of reasons to not root for them.
