The CheckerBoard

You and my Dad would get along great. He always talks about Hondo. I mean the guy is the leading scorer in Celtics' history with something like 29,000 points--and he did that without a 3-point line! He was definitely a beast. And of course, everyone knows how great Larry Legend was. It's a shame what happend with Lin Bias and well as Reggie Lewis. I believe that if both of those guys would have been playing with Bird, McHale, and Parrish in their final years, the Celtics would have another championship or 2 hanging in the Garden, and Michael Jordan would have one or two less.

Had Grizzlies season tickets when I lived there from 04-07. I saw some pretty bad basketball then. They are full-grown men now, though!

Games 1 and 7 were brutal, but I have another reason I can't stand the Clippers.

I watch the games on League Pass and sometimes you get the Grizzlies local broadcast with Pete and Sean/Brevin (who are total pros, IMO) but other times you get the other team's local feed. The Clippers play-by-play guys are the absolute worst, Lawler especially. They disparage the opposing team constantly, and listening to them, you'd think the Clippers have won 10 NBA titles in a row. They seem to forget that until last season the Clippers were a laughingstock in all of professional sports, not just basketball.
