    i swear some of these games are rigged. or someone got to a kid on the team. it's been done many times before. and 3-4 years ago in a NCAA March Madness game, a player and team was down by 15 with 6 seconds to go. Kid on losing team launches a meaningless 3 at the end of the game. He made it and change the betting outcome. Why on earth would he attempt a meaningless 3 unless he knew the betting line. same as last night ?

    and if you seen the movie Goodfellas, a big part of Jimmy Conway's life, real name Jimmy Burke (Robert DeNiro), they didn't mention in the movie, was the Boston College betting scandal he set up in the late 70's with the hoops team point shaving on games. He went to jail for it and was the start of his downfall with long jail sentences.

    EWilt won 1 NBA championship thanks to a team full of black dudes in Boston. They only had 8 championships in a row and 10 in 11 years. Almost twice as many as Jordan had in his career.

    really just 1 - Russell. haha. Wasn't Bob Cousy and John Havilchek white ?

    The Celtics were the first team to start a full black lineup. It was during the Bill Russel years.

    ok but Bob Cousy was a star for them and he played with Russell I believe and he's white.

    I think Russel might have been the only player to make it from the beginning to the end of that incredible streak.

    My two favorite teams in the NBA are the Celtics and the Spurs. I have always liked the Celtics but the Spurs caught my fancy because I lived in San Antonio starting the season they drafted Tim Duncan.

    Hope everyone else had better luck on their 2023 bracket than I did. I have zero of the final 4.
