    What is up Finney-Smith? He seems to be totally disengaged with the offense in this series.

    I don't watch the NBA, but Steve Kerr is my new favorite person in the league. Dude has guts, passion, and integrity.

    Warriors roll over Dallas 4-1, waiting for the Champs from the east. Looks like the Warriors are back!

    Would like Big Al to get a NBA Title before he retires even though I’m not a Celtic fan. Haslem, Cheese and Big Al all still in it, so one of them will have a NBA title shortly. DFS just eliminated as well by Warriors. Go Gators in the NBA! Haslem is 41 years old now. Has to be approaching end of career. Heat must employ him now as an extra coach on the bench.

    Love Horford, but no way do I root for the Celtics

    Celtic fans a little premature in their celebrations after dominating wins in games 4 and 5.
    Back to Miami for game 7. Jimmy Butler was amazing.with 47 pts, 9 Rbs and 8 assists

    Haslem on his quest for a 4th title. As a Heat/Gator fan I hope he gets it. Internet rumors that Heat may try and go after Beal at the end of the season. That would be amazing but I'm not holding my breath

    Never liked Boston since I was a kid. Watching the game, reminded me how obnoxious their fans can be.

    Must be a Lakers fan. Celtics and Lakers don't get along much. LOL! :)

    Not for a long time, like GS in the west now, but yea I was a big Magic Johnson fan back in those days.

    Ha!Ha! and I was pulling for Bird and McHale and Parrish and DJ (Dennis Johnson)! Cool.

    I also like Golden State and haven't really followed the Celtics for years. Just hope it's a good 7-game series, IF Boston beats Miami which is a huge if. If Miami wins tomorrow it will be a 5-game series (I think).

    I’m just messing. I don’t follow pros as seriously as I do college. But, I think Boston fans are much more into the game than Miami fans. Then again, I can’t name a single college or pro team from Miami with decent crowd support. I’ve never understood why it is that way.

    Actually the Heat have very good fan support....when they're winning. They are easily the best run Miami pro team.

    I'm biased but I think Boston will be the easier matchup for GS and don't think either go 7. Butler vs Curry would be fun to watch. Boston vs GS will be more of a street fight. JMO.

    I thought Miami was really hurt and if injured, or coming back, they would have a harder time keeping up with the GS speed. That's why I thought they'd drop in 5. I thought Boston would slow GS down and force a different kind of game. I admit I haven't been watching so I may be way off. LOL! I understand Boston/Miami has been a slug fest so far.

    I think the Celtics might make for a better final series. Some potentially intriguing matchups: Green/Horford, Curry/Smart, Thompson/Tatum, etc.
    Williams and Brown will match up well, too.

    Regardless, I look forward to the game tomorrow night.
