Next. The Boston Celtics rudely dispatched the Miami Heat 4 games to 1 with a never-in-doubt thumping 118-84. After a head scratching loss in Game 2, the C’s snapped out of their collective malaise to send the Heat into vacation.
Derrick White had a masterful series and Coach Joe Mazzulla did his best coaching by just rolling out the ball. Essentially, he stayed out of the way. That won’t be the case moving forward. Cleveland presents some challenges: size, speed and streaks of hot shooting that could very well be problematic.
The C’s will need to mute the NY/Boston chatter; sure, it could and likely, will happen….but until then?
Work. Next.
Caitlin Clark has to be annoyed with this Olympic Basketball team nonsense. Her being left off the Women’s team is ridiculous. I’ll say this: she’ll be the most exciting player during the whole Paris tournament. Didn’t say the ‘best’ – most exciting!
You think Jennifer Rizzotti could shield her pro- UConn bias just a bit. Look, there is massive amounts of jealousy when it comes to CC. Some of the comments are laughable as Clark is an ATM with a heartbeat — and a helluva’ jump shot.
They should be rejoicing her stardom and her single-handily raising the awareness and pay scale of women’s sports.
Instead, snipping, back-biting and stupid comments about wether she deserves to be on the US Squad.
