        She, along with Brink and Reese (to a lesser degree) are really moving the needle for the WNBA. They should be grateful, doesn't mean they need to go easy on her

          I think Clark would take just not being especially targeted....

              If she is a b*@#h, she hides it well. Seems like a great advertisement for the game

                The Lakers are apparently chasing UConn mens college coach Danny Hurley to fill their vacant HC position. I don't think his style will translate to the pro game, for the sake of Hurley and the Lakers I hope he'll stay at UConn

                  @canefan it doesn’t really matter what style you bring. Your fate as Lakers coach starts and ends with your ability to ‘manage’ Lebron.

                    Hurley is a college coach. I'm not sure his management style will translate to the Lakers. And LBJ

                      If Mavs can't find something at home they'll be lucky to win a game let alone make it a competitive series..

                      They look completely overmatched.

                      Celtics cruised to a win despite shooting poorly from 3.

                      I don't think Tatum is ever going to be the superstar player some thought he would be - his offensive game just isn't there. Good news for Celtics is it doesn't look like Celtics need him to be a superstar to win a title. He still contributed very well with assists and rebounds.

                          @KiwiMurph wouldn’t be feeling too bad if I were the Mavs after game 2.

                          They were right there despite Luka turning the ball over like crazy, the team missing free throws and Kyrie not really firing. Mavs are not a high turnover team so that was definitely out of character. Kyrie is top 10 in 4th quarter scoring in the league, but didn’t get up to much.

                          They played pretty good D and scrambled extremely well on the Celts shooters.

                          Some home cooking will be welcomed and I think they’ll lift with the extra bit of rest in between games.

                            Well that's one way to look at it.

                            Another way to look at it is

                            • Celtics elite defense forced those turnovers
                            • Kyrie has lost his last 12 games in a row vs Boston
                            • Celtics missed a lot of open 3s and still cruised to a win
                            • There's the same amount of rest between game 2 and game 3 as there was between game 1 and game 2
                            • Celtics haven't lost an away game all playoffs so the chances of at least splitting the 2 games in Dallas seem very high.

                              i watched in interesting video the other day that the Celtics seem to be playing a defense that allows Luka to get his, and no one else to get anything.

                                No Tingus Pingus no problem as the Celtics go to 3-0 on teh back of Tatum scoring early, and Brown scoring late.
                                They are just too deep, no one player needs to go big for them to win.

                                  Amazing the 12 months for Jaylen Brown. A year ago he was the scapegoat for the Celtics playoff failures. 12 months later he is the Finals MVP

                                  What an effort by Brad Stevens as the Celtics GM. Genius moves to bring in the likes of Porzingis and Holliday whilst moving on from Smart etc

                                      Hats off to them, they were just far too good.

                                      Their top 6 guys played great team ball in the playoffs. 16-3 is a phenomenal record. They play on both ends of the floor. No passengers. The egos were in check - guys like Horford and Holiday - bring that.
                                      They have experienced the disappointment and were hungry but confident.

                                      Not a huge fan of the Celts since Reggie Lewis and Larry Legend were playing for them, but happy for Coach Joe, Jrue, Porzingis, and Derrick White.

                                        Worst finals in my memory

                                        Terrible playoffs all round really

                                        Never seen so many blow outs

                                        I’d whinge about the amount of 3’s but someone will post some old man cloud meme

                                          Luka’s lack of conditioning did cost the Mavs. For a player that is so high usage and an offensive weapon, his defensive frailties because of poor conditioning was exposed.

                                          I was watching clips of him in the bubble and he was so quick, on both ends, wasn’t getting beat so easily on the drive.

                                          And I’m aware of the lifestyle choices of the man, but for a guy that has played close to a hundred games this season, he looked to get in worst condition.

                                          Yes the size and all that helped parts of his offensive game, but what was clear was when they upped the pace the Mavs looked dangerous.

                                          That didn’t stop the Celts attacking him on the defensive end.
