Longest streak of 2 teams meeting in finals will be 4  years now

Celtics/Lakers would have had it at 5 but they didn't meet in 67. Only 65/66 and 68 69

Going to catch a lot of heat for saying this, but screw it, I will.

I'm starting to feel like Rockets fans and Celtics fans (like us) were played like fools in the conference finals. Feels like the NBA really wanted Cavs-Warriors again, but also wanted ECF and WCF to go 7 games to bring in even more $$$

So Houston and Boston have great starts in Games 6-7, but then practically forget how to shoot and play defense in the 2nd half? Wow.

Idk... my dad usually doesn't complain about it either (refs and league rigging) but even he was upset today and felt it was rigged. Celtics do all that and play that bad in Game 7 (after a great start).

I think there comes a time in a game when if you are missng every three you put up, you try and get to rim or give it to someone who has shown that night able to hit a big shot- Tatum—cough cough- Rizier and Brown were absolutely horrible feom 3 last night- hard to blame that on NBA- we shrank under the big light

Rockets are matching the Celtics and shooting 15% from 3 in this one.

Tired as it has become to see GS win over and over, watching Curry tee off is still the best show in town.

If only that Rondo for Curry trade would have happened long ago-

Didn’t think I’d say this, but I feel for Harden. Stopped most of his flopping come playoff time, and now he gets no calls

Remember when we used to discourage this type of ball?  "Live by the jumpshot, die by the jumpshot".

Now that's all the NBA is.  I feel like NBA basketball has regressed.

It is true- even centers are expected to be able to shoot the three

Refs kept GSW in the game enough for them to do their thing. GAME OVER!

Has anyone tried McDonald's new burgers?

What kind is it?

Not sure, as the ad mentions the quarter pounder, but the overall theme is that their burgers are supposedly now cooked-to-order, so there's that.

Edit: it might just be for those specific burgers, which is kind of weird, lol. Like, what about the other options on the menu?

At least Rockets are driving to paint now since long ball not working- but stopping GS is impossible
