The betting favorites in Las Vegas for making the NBA finals were the LA Lakers and Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers, lead by champion players LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the Nets, led by champion players Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, made sense. On paper. Possibly the greatest player ever (LeBron) vs possibly the best scorer ever (Durant) teamed up with possibly the best one-on-one player ever (Irving).
Of course it didn't work out like that. The Lakers hilariously missed the playoffs entirely and the Nets just got swept out in the first round, four straight losses. There is a lot of fresh energy left in the post-season, if you're interested.
Cass, for whatever reason, loves the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis. He rooted for them last year, the first time I figured out how to get basketball on my TV setup, and then they won the whole enchilada. At least he's mostly interested in watching sports with me.
When it's his team...and they're winning...and the commercial breaks are, (ahem) rare...
