From a rivalry perspective, I'm sure Beantowners would love nothing more than to chant, "BEAT LA."

I'd really like a Pistons-Lakers final only because I think the teams match up, better. I think Boston has a really good team but Maxiell/McDyess are better than Perkins/PJ Brown and Billups is significantly better than Rondo.

I want to see a great NBA Finals. The last one I saw was when the Spurs beat the Pistons in seven games. Tie game, game 7, less than a minute to go, Spurs win. As a basketball fan, it does not get any better.

Plus, I root for the Knicks. I'll take any basketball over Knicks basketball.

being 36 and still able to remember when it was a Magic vs. Bird finals and how their rivarly against each other was great (even though they only played twice a year) I think from that standpoint that a Celts vs. Lakers finals would be nice, but the rivarly isn't there anymore so weather it's them 2 facing each other or another team it really makes no difference to me.

In fact I wouldn't count the Spurs out just yet, and for that matter the Pistons.....still alot of BB to go.

For me the last finals that meant anything was when it was the Rockets vs. Knicks....not only because I'm a Knicks fan but it was also the OJ highway chase that they broke into during the game......

I voted yes, as Undr Par stated the rivalary is not there anymore, but it would be nice to see these teams go at it, you know there would be an awful lot of references to the Bird-Magic era. I would love to see KG and the boys take it to the Lakers. However there are a few games left to play, Detriot is usually pretty good this time of year, and the Spurs have an uphill battle.

I voted that I don't care, only because it's a different generation now and the two teams don't have the rivalry like twenty years ago. I felt the same way (although I cared then) when the Steelers played the Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX. New players, different eras, same cities. While the stakes are the same, it just wouldn't have the same aura to me.

That chase was much more riveting than say...John Starks' 2 for 18.

I voted yes. I'm tired of Detroit having the same old players. Plus I'd like to see Kobe get another ring

I want a Laker's vs Celtics finals because I am sick of the Pistons and the Spurs. They both play boring basketball, and I can't stand any of the spurs other the Tim Duncan. Bruce Bowen is dirty, and Manu just gets on my nerves. I would love to see the matchups of the two big threes (Kobe, Odom, and Gasol vs Pierce, Allen, and Garnett). It would be a very interesting finals.

I would rather have a Pistons San Antonio final, but I guess it's more probable to have my Bears back in the superbowl than that...

Absolutely. I'm a Celtics fan so that part of it is obvious but the NBA could really benefit from a Celtics/Lakers finals and I sort of think the league needs it.

Personally I would prefer Pistons and Spurs, both play fundamental basketball, not the "show" type teams. But I guess the league needs more "show" than fundamental basketball.

A Pistons/Spurs Finals isn't that unlikely, but it would be the most boring NBA Finals since the last time they met (2005 Finals I believe). Those two teams bore me to death, especially when playing each other.

I've been a huge KG fan since he was a rookie in the NBA, and I've followed him through a lot of ups and downs in Minnesota. I never really cared for Boston, but now that KG is on the team, I've followed them pretty closely. I would obviously like to see KG win a title, and who they play isn't important to me. It would be nice to see the Lakers/Celtics though for sentimental reasons I suppose.

I'd love to see this match up. I agree the match up isn't going to be what it was 20 yrs. ago (what could be really?) but being from Boston it sure would be fun to chant BEAT LA again!!

Please Jesus, don't let the Celtics win the Championship! I'm not a basketball fan per se, but I'm SOOO tired of hearing my friends in Boston be such poor winners with the Sox and Pats, that I couldn't stand it if the Celts or Bruins won anything. I didn't even gloat back at them when the Pats choked the SB. I was just glad I didn't have to hear about it if they had won. New Englanders were starved for so long, they don't know how to handle success, so they act like children. (Coincidentally, I fear the same thing happening here in Atlanta, should one of our meager franchises figure out how to win anything!)

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
