I'm sorry Chuck, but if Nelson were playing, this series would be over by now. Alston is horrible. Just completely useless. I know you said the Magic only needed a distributor, but he's not even doing that.
3 games this series: 7-29 (24%), 1-12 threes (8%), 6.7 PPG, 4.7 APG, 2.3 TO

He's a horrible defender, a horrible shooter, has no head, is prone to being impossible to deal with, and was already having problems in the locker room with both McGrady and Artest. You're never going to get the guy to shoot more than 39%. He took more wide-open 3s with the Rockets than he'll ever get with any other team (Orlando is up there) and he still never had an overall percentage higher than 39. I'll take a Kyle Lowry-Aaron Brooks platoon over Rafer any day. NT Last edited by NTamm1215 : 05-11-2009 at 01:52 PM.

The problem with the Rockets is they have two superstars who are, from the looks of it, being trained by D. Wayne Lukas.

McGrady out has been a godsend.
This is a very tough team mentally (Artest excluded)and physically. Dont see how it is possible for them to beat the Lakers without some inside defensive presence though. Injuries have not stopped this team like it killed the old dog Spurs. Houstonians should be proud as should Celtic fans. These teams have shown some resilience.

In other NBA news:
Mark Cuban told Kenyon Martin, and his mom, that Kenyon is a thug. Kenyon says you dont do that. He will take care of Cuban. The only entity Kenyon backs down from is the Law. Sticks and Stones is just a cultural kinda thing Im guessin... I mean Jesus would definitley go with the sticks and stones posture.

Yao gets injured every year like clockwork. Mcgrady gets injured every month. A shame because this team is well put together.

I've always had a problem with anyone saying that Dirk Nowitzki doesn't play in the clutch. He's one of the few superstars that actually ups his production in the playoffs over his regular season numbers. His career regular season is 22.7 and 8.6 In the playoffs, it's 25.4 and 11.0 I remember when they were facing elimination in 2003 against Portland and he went for 31 and 11 and then the next series, again facing elimination against Sac he went for 30-19. I remember the 2006 playoffs when he went for 37-15 in game seven at SA. I remember when Phoenix tied their series at 2-2 and he went for 50-12 in the next game. When they lost to Miami in the finals, it wasn't because Dirk didn't produce. He went for 21 a game in the two wins and 23.8 in the four losses. They lost because they couldn't stop Wade, not because of Dirk. He had 30 in the game three loss (98-96, Wade 42). He had 20 in the game five loss (101-100, Wade 43). He had 29-15 in the game six loss (95-92, Wade 36).
Dirk is not on the level with James, Bryant, and Wade. Nobody else in the league is. But he's not some scrub bum that can't play and doesn't produce. I was watching last night's game. The way they lost game three to go down 3-0, the Mavs had every right to quit. But in a series where he was already going for 32.0-11.7 and shooting 52%, he upped it last night. With the season on the line and the game in the balance, he scored 44 (19 in the fourth) and kept the season alive. Again, he's not on the level with the very very best in the game......but you just can't do the stuff he does do, against the best players in the world....if you aren't a great player. Maybe not the best finisher ever but far, far from a choker. Anyone that goes for 37-15 at SA in game seven to take out the defending champs is forever in my book immune from the choker label.

And he can thank Manu Ginobili for that last game. Ginobili goes brain dead occassionally. Look at that game over and the last few plays, I call the Spurs the chokers.

Orlando should be ashamed of themselves. Chance to go up 3-1 with a short handed, in foul trouble Boston team Sunday, they lose. Tonight, they have a 14 pt lead with 7 or 8 minutes to go and they manage to choke it away. They should have won the series already, and the Celtics are up 3-2 instead.
Give the Celtics a lot of credit for battling, but the Magic are losing this series more than the C's are winning it.

The overhyped center for the Magic...Dwight Howard...had to think of his name because he's so garbage...is a softie and will never win a championship.

I didn't watch the game. I was watching The Biggest Loser finale. Dwight Howard's fat mom was on that show and only lost 80lbs.

Wouldn't of made a difference, but be nice if they could get the call right on the ball hitting/not hitting the rim. There is a change of possession involved. You might want to get that right. Orlando is gunna choke no matter what it takes, but they should be allowed to fk it up all on their own. Women teams have more nad than that bunch.

Sidenote, I thought I was going to have to eat my words about Skip, but lo and behold, he came back to earth in the fourth. Some weird ass lefty hook shot over the backboard and then a miss on a wide open three. That's the And1 legend I know.

Picking up Marbury hasn't hurt the Celtics at all this year. It won them a playoff game last night. Danny Ainge has done one hell of a job up there. Nobody thought Rondo was much of anything. Marbury was seen as a cancer and people said picking him up would hurt the chemistry. KG was given all the credit last year but the guys are showing that is was much more than KG. Even with Powe being out and with Posey gone from last year, these guys are playing some good ball. Davis was a solid draft choice. Powe was another solid pickup. Perkins is really underrated down there. Getting House was a steal. Ainge has done a hell of a job.
