I have raved about J. Havlicek on this thread before. He was our M. Smart before today's Smart on the defensive end. Dude was a very intelligent defender and a great 2-way player. He will forever bleed green in our hearts.

RIP John Havlicek

Wow. This is terrible news

May he RIP

Your boy King Kong really turning down $7m for a chance to fight AJ? Lol. He's either mid-juicing or scared

Yeah thats pretty strange. Theyre saying PBC promised him a wilder rematch but that makes no sense whatsoever. Thats not enough reason to reject 7 mil especially since he only made half a mil vs wilder the first time and would still make less than 7 mil for the rematch. Really weird.


Thats if the reports are true. Match room have been known to bend the truth every once in a while.

Spurs have the experience, this will be huge in a tension filled game 7. Denver has a lot of underachievers though, namely milsap and barton imo. Those guys are due a breakout game

If you achieve all this man has and influenced so many people, and then die of natural causes at a ripe old age, my guy this is not terrible news. Sad, yeah. Not terrible though.
Maybe Ive seen too many passings recently and it has altered how I see it.

For sure, he will be missed, especially by Celtic nation. RIP sad

How many finals has he lost? When last did he win? If the same people he was beating to lose to the Warriors are still there, why would they all of a sudden become better than the Warriors team that he could not best?
Kawhi was not there

Why would he fight Wilder again? I heard he was offered $5m then they upped it to $7m

Ortiz is probably the only credible US opponent available hence their leverage but the word is Ortiz's camp are holding for $10mil which is madness if true. While Hearn is notorious for offering low offers, at some point you have to make the trade off. Do you want what would still be the biggest payday of your career or do you want to overplay your hand

That Barton is a wasteman. He's been awful for most of the series. Game 6 was the nadir

The heavyweight division is bad, like really bad. Outside the top 3 you have ortiz and dilian whyte who have both already been beaten by the top three, the rest are tomato cans. Then the fact that bar maybe Daniel Dubois there are no prospects in that division. And somehow the top three keep screwing the fans over. As for ortiz, i guess hes as dumb as he looks. I've given up on the heavyweight division.

BTW looking ahead to Canelo-Jacobs, who do you got?

For a bit it looked promising, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin, Pulev etc in the second tier. Don't know how it all went to shyte.

To be fair most of the heavyweight fights recently have been really good. The Chisora vs Whyte fight and the Whyte vs Parker fight was all out war.

I have my eye on Usyk and looking forward to see how he holds against Takam

Hard to see beyond a Canelo win. Canelo's chin is forged from granite so I don't know if Jacobs has enough power to score a decisive victory that would negate Champions advantage

The thing is all of those "exciting" fights ended exactly how most expected them to. Usyk is one of the best skilled boxers in the world but hes around 6'2 - 6'3 and will be giving up a lot of size because the smallest among the top heavyweights is joshua who is 6'6, wilders i think 6'7 and fury is 6'9. He said he'll eat a lot of spaghetti lol but i dont think that will be enough, a cruiserweight to heavyweight move is not an easy task. Takam is not the best person to prepare you for these guys but its a good start. He beats takam easily. I guess we'll see what happens. Very good point about Usyk, i absolutely forgot about him but i am cautiously optimistic.

I see canelo via stoppage in the later rounds. Even if it goes to the scorecards we know hes already up by four rounds so its hard to see past a canelo win. Not overlooking jacobs i know he gave GGG a tough fight, maybe even won but canelos looking more dangerous than ever these days. Was going to ask you about the Rungvisai fight but i know you probably wont watch that one.

KD is great, carrying the team and what not but NBA refs can fvck off with the rubbish they are allowing on Curry.

I hope people are seeing why we said the Rockets series would have ended 4-1 if Iggy did not get hurt.

Harrel and Lou are playing garbage. If Gallo wasn't shooting well, the lead would Ave been larger

Arizona Cardinals used their No. 1 pick of the 2019 NFL draft to pick quarterback kyler Murray of the Oklahoma sooners. He was also drafted in the 2018 MLB draft as the 9th pick by the Oakland A's but he declined.
