Zephyr Posted May 4, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2022 Stars are on a tough league against a very strong opponent in the first round. They had a shot last night in spite of being outplayed. All they needed was a puck off a skate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Baltimore Orioles lost the MLB World Series to the New York Mets. The Baltimore Colts lost the NFL Super Bowl to the New York Jets. The Baltimore teams were favored in every series.

Road Runner Posted May 20, 2022 Share #40 Posted May 20, 2022 Well, Boston lost it's first game in Miami and came back to trounce the Heat in game two. So tonight maybe, the Mavs will bounce back and beat the Warriors in their game two in San Francisco. After the first game in SF, the Warriors will be overconfident, and assuming the series will be a pushover, they will relax and take the night off, while the Mavs will be playing for their lives. The Mavs have them right where they want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like scapegoat mentality. An organization (not to be named) I used to work with had some issues once. A high-level person had an affair with a coworker on a business trip. It created a scandal. I don't have the details, or know their HR policies, but we'll assume it was not a sanctioned affair. When asked publicly how they dealt with the matter, they indicated they fired the high-level executive. Firing people who fail is often a presented as the solution. It rarely solves the problem.

Kzoo Posted May 20, 2022 Share #43 Posted May 20, 2022 As a Dubs fan I hope the Mavs keep sucking. Truth, most of the playoff series teams have been inconsistent. Blowout wins followed by blowout losses. Playoff BB is about who can make the best adjustments... Go Dubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted May 20, 2022 Share #44 Posted May 20, 2022 The Celtics should have won game one, they fell apart in the third and flopped in the fourth. The first quarter was good last night. I'm not a fan of embarrassing a great team anytime, but especially on their home court. There were almost no Heat fans left midway through the fourth.

But in the NBA you can't take your foot off the gas. Good teams can make big runs and all these teams are good. There is an unwritten rule in the NBA - the winning team doesn't sub out their starters until the losing team does (i.e. I'm not stopping until you throw in the towel).
