Joe Mazzulla 35 can tie Bill Russell for the Youngest coach to win an NBA championship. Bill Russell was still playing. Brad Stevens the GM never misses.

Road Warriors…

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I used GPT to predict the outcome of the game tonight, put a $50 bet on the Celtics

This might be the worst Western Conference team in the Finals since who?

We would have to go WAAAAYYYYY back.

Lakers '91 if I'm keeping it a stack

Joker's ring had a lot of circumstance around it and the injured teams they faced. Just being real. And he got exposed being a shyt rim defender these playoffs.

FOH. You could use these same caveats to other title teams in the past, too. And the Nuggets missed out on two years of winning because Murray tore his ACL.

I don't know about all that... they smashed on the Lakers and the Warriors never have anything for Joker these days. Who was really gonna beat Denver in a 7 game series last season even at full strength?

Not that I look at Denver as a potential dynasty or anything but they were the best team.

But this 2024 Mavs team is probably the worst team in DECADES to come out the West

I would never put a winning team over this trash squad.
