I have never seen a team all collectively complain and whine as much as the Lakers, WITHOUT Luka on the court btw. LeBron and Reaves are absolutely unbearable and are as bad as 2024 Luka. Ayton, Kennard, Hayes (wifebeater) and Smart are also annoying. Hachimura fine ig that man can shoot, but good lord, for everyone saying how “unwatchable” this series is, it should be because of the LA Whiners.
Hoping that it being the weekend before May the 4th, that we can get some sequel supremacy servers going. Xbox US East if anyone wants to try to get one going!
Whole lotta conversation about what the best rivalry is right now, it's hard not to choose Minnesota & Denver rivalry.
But I think the rivalry that we were about to see become the biggest was the OKC Dallas rivalry from 24-25. Feels like the stars aligned with it, between the obvious Oklahoma and Texas rivalry that goes back decades through college football. OKC and Dallas also sit along I-35 within about 4 hours from each other, "The I-35 rivalry".
But I think what made those matchups so good was the war between Luka & Shai, who at their first playoff matchup two years ago were clearly the top 2 guards in the league. Luka fans worshipped him as a savior for Dallas basketball. Cold, feeds off trash talk and opposing fan chants. Than with Shai, OKC fans see him as the best thing to happen to Oklahoma sports in decades, maybe ever. Just as cold as Luka, but rather quiet and overly nonchalant on the court. Fans of each respectively hated the other player. Never met a die hard SGA fan that didn't hate Luka in some sort of way and vice versa.
It's a matchup I wish we could've gotten every year in the playoffs and be the defining rivalry of the decade.
Last year I went to Australia, making it the second continent I’ve visited outside of North America (Asia was the first).
Great first experience down under, doing 10 days in Sydney and The Blue Mountains. Felt like a I barely scratched the surface with Sydney and I’d love to return soon, especially to visit Melbourne and Tasmania. Such great and welcoming locals and great Asian cuisine.
