They should do it for all of the major sports leagues in the US but they won't.

They definitely won't. Would be cool to see.

The NFL never will and MLB won't approve it since it would properly penalize teams that don't care about being competitive. I think the NBA could make it work.

Grizzlies!

That was a fun game.

**DFA1979** · 05-22-2021, 07:26 AM

Glad that Ja got to get a shot at the post season. Also glad the Warriors lost.

**Ezee E** · 06-02-2021, 04:43 AM

That Nuggets/Blazers Double OT game was one for the ages.

It's bullshit that the NBA choose Suns-Lakers over it and I'm a Suns fan.

Utah with a choke job for the ages.

Top to bottom, soup to nuts, draft to playoffs....the NBA is the worst run, organized, least entertaining professional sport on Earth.

Amen to that.

Yeah the Jazz choked. Meanwhile I have no idea if CP3 gets to play or not so yeah the Clippers will probably go to the NBA Finals. My pick was Nets over Clippers I believe. I think the NBA is definitely rigged.

**Philip J. Fry** · 06-20-2021, 05:33 PM

This was great.

**Skitch** · 06-20-2021, 06:41 PM

Not sure where hes going with the Kyrie thing...but from a fan of the team I feel I can speak from locals perspective. We will always thank Kyrie for that shot that led to us getting a championship. And also fuck Kyrie Irving, because when he left, he took a giant public shit on Cleveland as a city that was completely unnecessary. Good luck in flat earth boston, jackass.

**Philip J. Fry** · 06-21-2021, 02:54 AM

I love a good underdog story.

He's actually in Brooklyn now. And if it makes you feel better, the Nets were eliminated in part thanks to a Kyrie injury.

Dang.

Lol that's how little I follow him and the league

**Philip J. Fry** · 07-08-2021, 08:17 PM

They should replace the Pels with Lapis Lazuli.

**DFA1979** · 07-09-2021, 07:40 AM

Hmm glad my pick was wrong. I still think the Bucks can claw their way back into this series btw. It's so weird to get to see the Suns in the NBA Finals again finally after years of them making me one sad panda.

**Ezee E** · 07-10-2021, 02:27 AM

Arizona fans are weird.

Look man the Suns are one of the most successful franchises in NBA history to never win a title. They have only two previous title appearances which they lost both times to dynasty teams. I became a fan in 1993 because of Charles Barkley and suffered through the endless times the Nash/Marion/Stoudemire squad blew it to the Spurs. If the fans want to go nuts because the team is up 2-0, let em. Besides I know how quickly that advantage can go away in the playoffs, and the Finals.

**DFA1979** · 07-18-2021, 03:51 AM

Yep the Suns are gonna choke this series away. At least they lose to the Bucks and Greek Freak who I like very much.

Choke implies they were ahead by a significant margin. Not the case here.

**Ezee E** · 07-18-2021, 02:58 PM

They had a 2-0 series where the nation more or less said they were going to win in 4.

Blew a 16 (?) point lead from the first quarter.

Choke!

**Dukefrukem** · 07-18-2021, 03:06 PM

Meh. If they were down by 3 and lose 4 straight... Choke.

Down by 2 and lose 4 straight?

That's still a choke. By your definition, nobody has ever choked in NBA history and, like, only two of three teams in baseball and hockey.

**DFA1979** · 07-18-2021, 04:48 PM

Duke only a select amount of teams have lost an NBA Finals after being up 2-0. The most famous that comes to mind recently is Dallas losing to Miami. So yeah if the Suns lose the series they definitely choked.
