Always be....opening?
The other day I wrote a post about Luka and Kyrie being dominant closers making the Mavericks very hard to beat. They didn't need to close last night. Luka shot them out of the gates like a supersonic missile and they never looked back. So they can win with closers, they can win by frontrunning and leading the whole race. But can they beat a team that is going to take 35 open 3s a game and make them at a ridiculous clip? It remains to be scene. I am inclined to believe so. Boston is a better team but I trust Luka and Kyrie to get the job done more than the two Jays. Maybe I have just watched too many Celtic playoff collapses to believe they will actually finish this thing off. Holiday makes a big difference for them.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Oh ye of little faith. You all had the TWolves beating the Mavs in the pick 'em. Except our winner:
@ContraMundum. Congrats on being the contrarian.
NBA finals pick 'em will be posted today but we will have to wait awhile to see who wins that one. A week before the series starts and then two days off between each game. It could be June 23 before we know who won.
Shame on us
All this talk about two basketball series that weren't really close and we are missing out on incredible East and West Finals in the NHL. In another riveting one goal game the Panthers took a 3-2 lead in their series against the Rangers last night (sorry @BTC_Bellzer). Where are the stacker sports hockey fans at? I know it feels like the season ends once the Leafs get eliminated. I will admit that is the case for me. It is like winning the stanley cup each year. But let's give the 4 teams left some love. They are playing some stellar hockey.
The batted ball x 2
Don't fret if hockey is not your thing. The T20 World Cup kicks off in a couple days and our resident cricket expert @Coinsreporter is running a great pool so we can all enjoy and learn some cricket. And of course our MLB survivor pool is still running strong. The week 10 pick submission post will be up shortly from @MLBofficialscorer.
Sats for all,
