I'm with Kenny Atkinson. If things had gone the way they SHOULD have on paper and analytics, I would have balled Halle Berry on a bearskin rug at age 22. The fact that never happened and I'm 0-1 in Berry sex and the Cavs are down 0-3 is...interesting, even academic, if you want to think about it that way. I know some of you aren't interested in hearing...etc No, but seriously: This is the kind of thing that should get Atkinson fired by this Saturday. (I never watch SportsCenter, but last night I was jellin' out 'n all logy from alcohol and actually caught the Atkinson thing there: in what world do you actually say this stuff out loud, in front of reporters?)
For CLE fans: we got Good News and Bad News. CLE fan: give us the Bad News! Okay: Cavs get swept in the ECF, at home, by 40 points, in a miserable final game from them. CLE fan: Jeeez. What's the Good News? They're up 3-1 on paper. Ya know: analytics. "Expected wins." Now they go back to MSG for a crucial 5th game on paper. Should be a dogfight. On paper.
Really impressed with the Knicks wiping the floor of Sixers and Cavs. Those teams have issues but also a lot of talent so they certainly deserve the credit Also nice they'll be well and rested while the West finalists battle it out, should provide a competitive Finals. A couple weeks ago I thought it would be a sweep or closed in 5 but OKC and Spurs are beaten up, some guys out and will reach the Finals gassed, first couple games will be key for the Knicks to get a win on the road and make it a series Finally, as pointed here before, good to see the Knicks showing a blueprint of success not built through draft and with their 2 stars being weaker on defense. We should be taking notes (although we'll never the amount of picks NY had to throw for Mikal or OG)
