NBA Playoffs

[horseofcourse]

The Cavaliers still have that word in front of their nickname..."Cleveland". That alone pretty much disqualifies them from winning it. I've seen it time and time again...nothing else matters much other than that. Garnett getting hurt was the worst thing for them believe it or not. They have always matched up horribly against Orlando for whatever reason...and I think Garnett's injury may push the Magic over the Celtics. I hope not.

Lakers 4 to 2 over Magic. None of the other series' really matter.

How about Derrick Rose today in Game 1? Dude was straight unbelievable. I can't believe how well Tyrus and Jokekim Noah played today also. Hopefully Noah will play himself into getting traded and we can keep Ben Gordon with Rose

Here's hoping the Sixers revert to mid-season form with a shot in the a$$, a.k.a. the return of Thad Young. We were able to overcome the loss of Brand, but the void that da bul Thad gave us was too deep to climb. Dileo needs to employ the Hack-a-Howard technique and use his bench again as timely as he was after the Brand debacle. Spread the fouls around between Ratliff, Evans, and Speights.(phuck Dalembert, that raw p.o.s) I got a feeling that we are going to catch the shaft at the end of one of these games with a foul to give. (much like in the finale against Cleveland when Gibson tied it up with a three ball when Thad slipped and fell with a foul to give.)

So far today theres been a walkoff win for the Phils, the Flyers are playing to it's capabilities (today), and the Sixers WILL open eyes.

Great game but how does Del Negro not have a to left at the end of the game again? Boston hung tough but they wont be around too long with the team they have remaining.

Neither will the Spurs.
Duncan can barely move.
He used to play D.

Just amazed that Del Negro made the same mistake twice. I the NBA that TO means so much because you get to advance the ball. The odds are still against you but without a TO it is 5000-1 that you will hit a halfcourt runner.

Definitely gives you more options.
Not only does it save valuable time,
also have a wider court to throw into
compared to the baseline.

NBA should skip playoff bullshit. Does anyone care?

Finals: Cavs win in six games!

Newsflash: Kobe announces his retirement after losing another title shot. He knows he will never win another NBA championship. Great individual player, lousy team player is final conclusion.

yes...

I love basketball.
Basketball gives us the chance to see
pure athletic talent displayed more than
any other team sport.

Yes I like NCAA basketball also.

The NBA regular season is way too long
and too many teams make the playoffs imo.
The above I would change thank you very
much.

No one in New Orleans will care if the Hornets play that bad again.

Garnett looked like a tard on the bench after that game winner by Allen. I mean really dude you aren't a gangster. Just f.ucking stop with the bulls.hit thug expression. You look ridiculous.

They can't all be hardcore OGs like Kobe.

Kobe wouldn't act like that if a teammate hit a game winner. He's too narcissistic to show that much emotion for another human.

I did not see Allen Iverson anywhere near
the Detroit bench. Does he not care about his
teammates?

Teammates?
We talkin teammates?
Wtf are teammates?
Teammates?

continue ad nauseum.

Detroit traded for Allen Iverson's expiring contract...not AI.

So they just could have given Billups away for another
expiring contract, did not have to be AI's.
AI could have been playing for a big fat extentsion, no?
Manu Ginobilli has also got an expiring contract.
But he is with the team. Guess he is interested
in playing for his team next year.
With his teammates.


BTW...

Lebron going to the Knicks, hear much lately.
I hear grass growing.

[ateamstupid]

Cavs v. Pistons thru 2 games

Pistons - 28 FT's attempted
Cavs - 70 FT's attempted

Pistons - 45 fouls committed
Cavs - 28 fouls committed

Just saying.

Billups has a big dollar contract with a lot of years on it. I believe AI's contract is a max contract, who else could they have got with one of those? Dumars obviously made a decision that they werent good enough to compete this year anyway and started revamping for the future.
