my one line will sum this years NBA playoffs up.

Two words: Flip Saunders

George Karl.

But the material he has to work
with... I would not be envious of
trying to get Carmello and AI to
play some D.

The tatooed team could not possibly
be fun in any way to coach. Bunch of
pain in the neck primadonnas.

Glen Davis.
The big baby.

Looks like a huge Avacado.
That solid green jersey cries
"Get in my belly", on him.

He is the massive green planet.

The hot dogs in Atlanta are
gravitationally ripped out of the hungry
children's hands and thrown into a
decaying orbit around that Green
Monster.

They would be a dynasty if the playoffs were played under Street Ball: The Mix Tape Tour rules.

I hope the Suns set tonight.
They are scraping up points
from guys who usually choke
and that is a bit disconcerting.

What I am very happy to see if
the Spurs move on is Horry and
Barry playing. Horry is a very important
inside defender who also has mobility
and he is only 75 years old.

Barry can flat out crank 3's.
He opens the floor wide for Ginobili
or Parker; Stops the collapse on
Duncan. Critical players for later
matchups that hopefully occur.

Total choke by Phoenix.

You look at the series and see 4-1.
You think it was not close. Well it was.

Goodbye Shaq.
Righto. Sit your no touch, fat as s down
for the summer.

20 million to go 9-20 from the FT line.
But he makes all the FT that really count.

what about the choke job by nash.......the biggest overrated 2 TIME m.v.p
that ever played in the n.b.a. and to think kobe has zero m.v.p awards is as larry bird said this morning a total embarrasment.

I think that people often forget what the MVP award is about. It's not necessarily for the best player in the league. If that was the case, Michael Jordan should have won it every year. But he didn't. Hell, they gave it to Barkley and Malone in years that MJ beat them in the finals. Same thing when they gave it to Robinson and Olajuwon crushed him in the playoffs. It's about more than that though. If I had a vote, I wouldn't simply vote fore who I thought was the best player. I would look to a guy that I thought had the best combination of being a great player and the most influential to his team's success. This year, Kobe was great. But I don't think he was better than he was the previous two seasons. Even this season, until they put Bynum into the starting lineup and he started flourishing, the Lakers were a .500 team. Then when Bynum went out, they struggled again until they got Gasol. So I question how much impact Kobe really had on that team. Even the past couple of years, they had a better record with Odom and no Kobe than they did with Kobe and no Odom. The argument can be made that when Nash won his first one, it should have gone to Shaq. I chose Shaq myself. Last year, I chose LeBron. But to say that it's an embarrassment that Nash won either of them is wrong. He was very much in the convo and very deserving. Where the Suns were, what he led them to, and what they are when he's not playing.....he's very much in the convo.

The reason why Kobe or KG wouldn't get it from me is because they alone didn't account for the big improvement of their respective teams. I don't think they had the same influence on their teams that Chris Paul or LeBron James did. I'm not even sure that they had a bigger influence on their teams than Tracy McGrady has on the Rockets. When you consider what the Rockets have done and where they are and then look, really look at that lineup, you really gain a lot of respect for McGrady. Everyone thought the season was lost when Yao went down but not only wasn't it lost, they stayed in contention for the top record in the conference until the final two games. All season long, my vote was for either James or Paul. At the end, I'd go with McGrady. Not as the best player but as the MVP.
