These Celtics are in the process of choking this championship away right now.
 
Green literally telling Kerr he will be challenging that call. Kerr does what he’s told I guess.
 
Goofy thought while watching Wiggins show he is second best player on a team that might win the championship. What if Portland had had the foresight to think they could make something of Wiggins (and I don't think they could have with Stotts as coach) and traded CJ for him. I think maybe Russell had more perceived value at that time so probably Portland could not have got the # 7 pick also but probably some kind of incentive because Wiggins almost had negative value at the time. Another funny thing: I think CJ would have been more valuable to Wolves than Russell has turned out to be.

Gotta find the next Wiggins. OG?
 
Boston does not deserve to win this series. They are not taking care of the ball and committing way too many turnovers. Most of the turnovers are of the unforced, jumping into the air and throwing it away variety.
 
Celtics will win game 6 and GS will win game 7
 
Wings who can play defense seem fairly important....

ESPN has long been an agenda driven joke. Curry couldn't hit the broadside and Wiggins played his heart out. Haven't missed E_PN in years.

I don't know if he is undervalued though. But there are always guys out there. Even Horford, considered really washed up when playing with Thunder, has looked really good in some of the games.
 
Warriors folk hero Fake Klay Thompson says he was banned for life from Chase Center shortly before Game 5

For the first time in a long time, Warriors folk hero Fake Klay Thompson was spotted outside of Chase Center on Monday. A stalwart of the Warriors' 2015, 2017 and 2018 NBA title runs, Fake Klay — who is portrayed by YouTube prankster Dawson Gurley — has been a topic of conversation during previous ESPN broadcasts and Steve Kerr media sessions. ("I turned around and I was like, 'Klay, did you eat a few extra burgers?'" Kerr once joked.) Fake Klay has shown up to everything from Finals games to ring ceremonies, to the delight of NBA fans.

But Monday may be the last time Warriors fans see Fake Klay Thompson for quite a while.


Gurley tweeted two hours before tip-off on Monday that he had been banned for life from Chase Center. Has he actually? Who knows. Chase Center officials couldn't be reached to confirm the banning prior to publication (they were likely busy getting ready for Game 5 of the NBA Finals). According to Gurley, he was banned after walking past five layers of security guards "who willingly let me through security without asking for ID," at which point he says he shot around on the court "for 10 minutes."

Gurley then shared what he said was the official letter along with the ban, which appears to be signed by Chase Center's vice president of security, Brian J. Herbert, which is the name of the actual Chase Center vice president of security.



This appears to be a picture of Gurley shooting around inside the arena.

Again, though, we're talking about Fake Klay Thompson, meaning this whole episode could very well be fake, too.

At least two fans did spot Fake Klay Thompson on Monday morning, though. According to BART train operator Dewayne Deams, his sister was tricked by Fake Klay Thompson outside of Chase, and had no idea after taking pictures with him and her grandson that he's not the real deal. A second fan spotted him in Union Square around 10 a.m.





Gurley has benefited from the Fake Klay Thompson schtick through the years to the tune of tens of millions of views on everything from "Klay Thompson Plays Basketball with Strangers" to "Pretending To Be Klay Thompson." When he's not pretending to be Klay, the 29-year-old Gurley does a bunch of hidden camera pranks that range from kind of funny to extremely cringe, the latter of which include a whole series of pranks "in the hood."

He looks more like Hedo Turkoglu than Thompson.
 
It’s easy to tell who is going to win a game in this series. About 5 minutes in if the Warriors are hacking at Boston on their drives to the hoop and not getting called for it, it’s in the bag for the Warriors.
 
Wing players are far more important than PG. Need to get that player by draft or trade.

The Blazers have the chance now by selecting Keegan Murray in the draft, as he is on a development path that could be similar to Andrew Wiggins. I see Dame and Keegan playing together as a match or better for Steph and Wiggins within the next 2 years.

Wow, I think the Keegan/Wiggins comp is very very strange. Murray is bigger and from what I've seen isn't even in the same universe as Wiggins is as an athlete. Just two extremely different players.
