I appreciate their effort. Honestly, I do. But following the utterly remarkable Delpo / Rafael match, this does look like it would look better in a field in upstate NY. Neither is good enough to string together well enough play to win.

“professional Airball in the middle of a Warriors shoot-around” is a well written description of this entire series.

Lebron has worked so hard to get them here. A chance to shoot a wide open game winner, JR Smith got involved and then all was lost.

Last year Fleury could easily have shared the playoff MOP with Murray. The Pens do not get out of the first 2 rounds if he does not play lights out replacing an injured Murray.

Big Ben does not like to be forced into a corner. Made to feel bullied without choice. Preyed upon by someone larger, more malevolent and maybe even staggeringly drunk.

... during the same playoff run. Not same Series.

You mean the Series where Crosby got a concussion? That one? Just checking to see we are on the same page. And thanks for the utterly foolish “man punches another man in the helmet while wearing hockey gloves.”
