Show Me What You Got!
I can't fully put my finger on why it amuses me and amuses everyone else (especially since Lakers-Clippers would have had star wattage) but hot damn it was hilarious. Doc Rivers is a good guy but completely overrated as a head coach, 'Playoff P' was a disaster and they have other dopes like Patrick Beverly who's probably the Brad Marchand of the NBA and Lew Williams with his leaving the bubble for magic wings.
The NBA wants Lakers-Celtics so bad, I half hope they get Heat-Nuggets. But honestly it'll probably be Lakers-Heat, which will have its own little mini drama with LeBron going up against Pat Riley when there was some friction on the way out.
I think a part of it was because a lot of talking heads in the preseason said they were destined to win, they were the best LA team.
They also did a lot of media trash talking with billboards and the like. Similar to I think how the Brooklyn Nets took out an ad outside MSG when they first moved?
