Huge win for the 76ers.

[Go Web Go!]

Didn't see that one coming.

[Mister J]

What a choke job. That 'Live by the 3. Die by the 3' mantra is kicking in a bit earlier than I thought it would.

[War Party]

How about them Sixers? What a great day for Philly sports. The Phils win with a walk off homerun from Ibanez. The Flyers dominate the Pens. And the Sixers stun everyone. Such a great day.

[LastSunrise1981]

Orlando is a team that will make those three pointers in the regular season.

The playoffs is another story and you just can't shoot all those threes thinking that it will save the team. I already said before that it was going to get them soon and while it's just one game, they'll need to come up with a different plan in order to win the series.

I still don't see them being good enough to make it to the Finals.

[Mister J]

This is embarrassing. Miami can literally not do anything right. To see such complete suckage in all aspects of the game is rare.

[Immortalfire]

Hawks are laying teh smackdown

[Go Web Go!]

Eh. I'm going to leave tonight's game alone.

[LastSunrise1981]

In retrospect Atlanta just exposed the Miami reliance on Wade. The Hawks know that the majority of the team is young, inexperienced, and cannot keep up them as far as their speed and athletism is concerned.

When you noticed Atlanta's game plan they just ran Miami and continued to run them. Wade needs some consistent help as him carrying that team has worn him down. Although I will say that I do see Miami winning the series and they will probably use this loss as motivation.

I expect Wade to really come out focused in Game 2, however, will his team follow his determination and hunger?

[Darthphere]

Every Heat fan in the world knew the Heat were not going to beat the Hawks, but this is embarrassing.

[Go Web Go!]

I picked them to win game 1 :(

[Darthphere]

Because you are our last glimmer of hope. We are in darkness now.

[Go Web Go!]

Because you are our last glimmer of hope. We are in darkness now.

It's not a 1 game elimination. I have faith they'll pull through, and whether they do fight back or get swept, well, it's not going to be enough to get me to peel my Chris Quinn Fathead off the wall or take off my throwback Sasha Danilovic jersey. :cmad:

[Silver Knight]

Wow.

[Silver Knight]

Good to see my Hornets playing well. NOT.

[LastSunrise1981]

If you're Byron Scott you have to be disgusted at how your team came into Denver and just flat out laid an egg. That was truly one of the most embarassing displays of basketball. Next to Dallas giving away 2-0 lead in the championships of course. :o:cmad::csad:

[LastSunrise1981]

Good to see my Hornets playing well. NOT.

So is this when you become a Laker fan or a Houston fan? Or do you use that card should New Orleans be down 2 games to 0?

[Go Web Go!]

Woah.:wow:

Oh, yeah. My loyalty runs deep.

Doesn't make Miami's loss look so terrible.

[LastSunrise1981]

Doesn't make Miami's loss look so terrible.

Well at least Miami's loss was to a team that is young, athletic, and very quick on the break. Denver's play of basketball reminds me of the Spurs as it's predictable, slow, and very grinding. I kind of had a feeling that the slow half-court defensive/offensive style of Denver would mess with New Orleans.

I do remember a lot of analysts stating that the high altitude of Denver messes with the opposing teams too.

[NewYorkSpider]

I have the game on mute. What happend?

[Darthphere]

It's easy when every team is your favorite team. No sentimental picks.

[NewYorkSpider]

I've seen some interesting stuff while gathering these picks and correcting them.


Bond is the only one who thinks the LAL/UTAH series goes to six games.
In the MIA/ATL and NO/DEN series, Raiden has picked every team to win on the road, with the exception of one game.
L.A is the only one who thinks the CLE/DET series will go to six games.
Everyone thought the Magic would win game 1.

[Ghostvirus]

Man these reporters will not shut the hell up about Garnett! He isn't playing ya'll f-ing deal with it!

I think I might have made a mistake with those picks, probably because I tried to get you the picks before the deadline and it was really late at night, but it's my fault and I'll be interested to see how many of it I got right in the end.

[Immortalfire]

Man these reporters will not shut the hell up about Garnett! He isn't playing ya'll f-ing deal with it!

It's like Brett Favre all over again :whatever:

[Mister J]

Except KG is actually relevant to what was a championship-caliber team. Brett Favre just secretly owns a minority share in ESPN.

[Christopher Nolan]

without KG, celtics will have it damn hard..., even the bulls are too hard for them...

[Darthphere]

Maybe if Ray Ray stopped laying eggs in the playoffs.

[Mister J]

Ray Allen is the Mole.

How many times am I going to use that joke?

[BlackLantern]

what happened to Miami last night....did they let the ball boys play or something?

[Darthphere]

I think the University of Miami....Ohio would've played better.

[Silver Knight]

So is this when you become a Laker fan or a Houston fan? Or do you use that card should New Orleans be down 2 games to 0?
No son. Just no.

[Silver Knight]

Look at Silver Knight go!
What do you mean mate.

[Go Web Go!]

Look back a page. You're leading points-wise in picking games.

What J said. I have never gotten Favre's relevance. He won Superbowl, & then proceeded to stink it up for years.

I am just saying basically what Doc Rivers said. Kevin ain't coming back this year. So reporters constantly talking about it is pointless. It ain't happening. & it is looking pretty windy in Bean-Town.

[Silver Knight]

Look back a page. You're leading points-wise in picking games.
Oh I see, thanks.

[NewYorkSpider]

Mike Brown wins Coach of the Year. :up:

[Mister J]

No surprise there and congrats to Mike.

It's funny. I don't really think he's any better of a coach than I did a couple of years ago when I was slighting him on a regular basis. However, there is something to be said for establishing a proper deployment of talent, designing plays that cater to your strengths and promoting team unity. I've learned the importance of several such virtues the hard way this season.

[Raiden]

Mike Brown wins Coach of the Year. :up:

Congrats to Brown and he deserves it. But he also has LeBron James, who is arguably the best player in NBA right now. Phil Jackson doesn't get alot of respect for what he did simply because he had Michael Jordan and Shaq throughout the years, but Brown doesn't seemed to receive the same doubt as Jackson did. Frankly, I think just because you have good players doesn't mean you will win the championship. Jordan (before Jackson and Pippen) never won anything, and he was just as great early on as he was when he was winning titles with the Bulls.

[BlackLantern]

There is always that one dunk in the playoffs that explodes an arena.....I wonder when we'll see that

Utah is really good at home, and usually play pretty well in the playoffs, so...

[BlackLantern]

I don't agree with Brown getting Coach of the Year.....Atlantas coach probably should have gotten it

Brown got Coach of the Year because of the outstanding home record, as well as the best record in the NBA. Brown does have LeBron James on the team and that's one reason for their success. We found out in the last game what Brown would do with a team without LeBron. They lost at home against Philadelphia. If their home record wasn't as good as it is, then I agree BlackLantern, a guy like Mike Woodson or George Karl should have got it.

[Excel]

Rondo that was a hideous free throw :lmao:

[Excel]

Big baybay!!

[NewYorkSpider]

Rondo came down pretty awkward on that knee. Doesn't seem real serious.

[Excel]

omg

[NewYorkSpider]

That was a smart play by Pierce. Too bad he only made two FT.

[Ghostvirus]

If I have to hear Tyler Perry say "Very Funny" one more time!:cmad:

Wow, Barkley ain't giving Chicago no respect.:dry:

Rondo will save us...Rondo will save us...

EDIT: Or Ray! CHYEA! WHATAGAMEWHATAGAMEWHATAGAMEWHATAGAME!

[BlackLantern]

Ben Gordon with 42 so far

[Showtime]

This Celtics-Bulls series has been pretty damn exciting. Ray got some confidence back, and I think they have some momentum going into Chicago.

Things that would get me banned. He basically started yelling at the Bulls bench after the game, & making retarded faces like he was a thug or something. A little similar to Dirk's growl.

I wonder if Garnett realises:

1. The Bulls just went toe to toe with them at their home both games winning one.

2. The Bulls are 13-1 at home since the all star break.

3. HE ISN'T IN THE GAME!!!!!

[Raiden]

I'm not good at reading lips, but did KG said "F**k you" to the Bulls' bench?

[Christopher Nolan]

damn..., what for a game between celtics and bulls...

[Go Web Go!]

I'm not good at reading lips, but did KG said "F**k you" to the Bulls' bench?

Something that started with an "F", for sure. It's fine when guy's get caught up in the moment of the game and such, but directly shouting at a lesser team that has already beaten you on YOUR floor? When you're in street clothes? You've been in this league for how long, KG? Grow the "F" up.

[Immortalfire]

Here's all that I can find.

http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/7861/16hp3c.gif (http://img260.imageshack.us/my.php?image=16hp3c.gif)

He looks like he needs to go find his quiet place.

[Silver Knight]

KG is such a punk.

[Darthphere]

I love KG. Notice how no network ever mic's up KG. There's a reason.

[RAMORE]

What the hell are the Magic doing they better not choke out this year we have a great shot to win it all:mad:

4 reasons we have a shot:

We don't play the Pistons.
KG is hurt and without him they are very beatable.
We match up well to beat Cleaveland.
Kobe will find a way to lose it:P

Dampier Says He'll Patrol Paint for Mavs (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4086083)
SAN ANTONIO -- Erick Dampier, the Dallas Mavericks' 6-foot-11, 265-pound center, had a specific message for San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker after Monday's playoff game.

"Every time he drives the lane, we have to put him on his back," Dampier said, according to The Dallas Morning News. "The first foul has to tell him he's in for a long night."

Parker scored 38 points in San Antonio's 105-84 win over Dallas, evening their Western Conference first-round series at 1-1.

Six of Parker's 16 field goals came via the layup on Monday, including four in the first quarter alone.

"My first foul Thursday night is going to put him on his back," Dampier said. "I guarantee it."

Game 3 is Thursday night in Dallas.
Dampier, you idiot. While putting someone on their ass while they're running too freely in the lane is a long-established tenet of playoff basketball, you've got to be a ****ing moron to call attention to it like above. All he's done is give Pop a reason to be in the referee's ear (probably right now) and place everything that Dallas does in that regard under intense scrutiny. What do you think the result will be the first time the Mavericks come close to making a questionable play on Parker in the lane? He's upped the likelihood of a simple 'playoff foul' being cited as a flagrant tremendously. This is dumbest thing he's said since he proclaimed himself the second best center in the league circa 2001. ****ing Erica.

Ass.

Howard Top NBA Defender (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4086156)
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is the NBA's defensive player of the year after becoming only the fifth player to lead the league in blocks and rebounds in the same season.

The announcement was made Tuesday.

Howard received 542 points, including 105 first-place votes from a panel of 119 writers and broadcasters. Cleveland's LeBron James was second with 148 points and Miami's Dwyane Wade finished third with 90 points.
As expected.

[Zephyr Alexian]

The Celtics were never going to win this year with Garnett and their entire roster healthy. They don't have a small forward who can defend Lebron. Last year Posey did well*cough* until game 7 *cough*, but he's looking at a 1st round bust with NO this year. Sadly, Cleveland will win the finals in 6 games this year and beat my Lakers.:(

At least I'm calling it early. If you have bookies, make your bets now and cash in.

Anybody annoyed with these ESPN playoff commercials? They have 2, 2! Lebron dunking on the Celtics commercial spots. Last time I checked, the Celtics won that series. :huh:

They had them for D-Wade and Brandon Roy, but after the respective beatdowns administered in those Game 1s, I wouldn't be running those things either.

Though the Duncan 3 one is better, that LeBron dunk was absurd.

[Mister J]

Now that I think about it, there was no ****ing Brandon Roy commercial. Why would there be. Portland hadn't been to the playoffs since 2003 or something.

I think I got my wires crossed with the seldomly shown Billups commercial.

[Ziggyman]

J...Really think Miami has a shot?

[Go Web Go!]

Hey! Get outta here, Raptor fan! Your season's over! :cmad:

[Ziggyman]

Ouch...

...But our championship run is just beginning...!

O'Neal and Moon won't take you anywhere...Through our little deal, I'm pretty sure we sabotaged you guys!

Good luck!

[Zephyr Alexian]

Raptor fans? :facepalm

That's like finding out your health insurance provider is an HMO the night after you severely injure yourself. . . . nearly choking to death on the notion that your team still might make the playoffs. . . . way back in mid-December.:hehe:

[Go Web Go!]

No ouches necessary, friend. Only good-natured ribbing on my part.

I don't know if that deal sabotaged Miami, but it's not doing much good right about now. Whatever, as long as I don't have to see Shawn Marion's ugly mug in a Heat uniform.

[Ziggyman]

I love seeing his...uh...beautiful (shifty eyes) mug in a Raps uni!

[Ghostvirus]

J...Really think Miami has a shot?

Raptor fan huh? Thanks in advance for Bosh.:o

What the bloody hell? :wow: :confused:

I know I spelled it wrong.:csad:

[Ziggyman]

Raptor fan huh? Thanks in advance for Bosh.:o



I know I spelled it wrong.:csad:

Take him...Don't want him if he plays like he did in the middle of the season...

...BTW...Who's your team...?

[Mister J]

As far as Marion, I'd move him every time. The positioning and impact for 2010 is too good and Shawn was doing absolutely nothing worthwhile in a Heat uniform. The shortcomings and problems I have right now are with Spoelstra, particularly his stubbornness and seeming offensive limitations. Marion wouldn't have contributed anything leading to a more favorable outcome, regular season or otherwise. I think both sides are happy with that trade.

Before the injury, Moon was comparable more times than not (especially considering he's ~17M cheaper) and if Spoelstra had any innovation on offense JO would be more than a bit player. Under no circumstances have I ever thought that deal shouldn't have been made. If anything, I think about the late-rumored proposed deal with Sacramento for Salmons and Miller (no Kenny Thomas albatross, they still would have taken Banks, but no 1st round pick or trade exception).
I know I spelled it wrong.:csad:
Oh. You meant 'Bayer'. I thought you actually were referring to aspirin specifically designed to be strong enough to medicate bears. I'm thinking 'what kind of high-grade, OTC illegal **** is this that I don't know about. :wow:' :funny:

[Excel]

The amount of offensive rebounds the Cavs are getting is astounding.

[Darthphere]

Another thing I find annoying, the stupid defense chant at Cavs games. It sounds like a bunch of Samoans chanting into a mic. It's real stupid.

[Bond]

Speaking of annoying fans, I loathe watching New Orleans games. I can't remember if they do it every time Chris Paul scores, or if it's just whenever anybody on the team scores, but they always do that little "Whoo!" like three times in a row. Annoying as hell !

[Darthphere]

No, the thing at Cavs games isn't the fans chanting defense, it's some pre-recorded "hard" voice being played over the PA.

[Excel]

:hehe: @ them double teaming LeBron to foul him...and they end up on the ground.

From Jennifer Buras Noveh of New Orleans:
Chris, thanks for being such a great inspiration to our city, both on and off the court. My question is: What do you think about Rick Flair’s “Whoo!” being your signature sound when you score (or any time your image/name is mentioned in the New Orleans Arena for that matter)?

Chris Paul: [laughs] I think the “Whoo!” thing is pretty funny. It seems like it caught on more and more as time went on and they started playing it. By now, I think there are some people who may not even recognize me or know me, but they know me by that sound.

[Mister J]

Yeah, that's what happens at New Orleans. Like, some guy is on there screaming "Whoo!" then the crowd repeats. Then he does it again, and the crowd repeats. Then he does it again . . .
IIRC, that's a Ric Flair holdover from the franchise's days in Charlotte.

close game between blazers and rockets.

roy went off and blazers rebounded as expected. would have liked houston to go up 2-0 but i think taking two in a row at the rose garden is too much to ask.

if houston can hold home court the next two games, they should be in fine shape.

NBA looking into Ericka's comments:

Erick Dampier's comments about using hard fouls on San Antonio point guard Tony Parker in Game 3 Thursday are under review by the NBA, league spokesman Tim Frank said. Dampier told The News after the game that he was going to put Parker "on his back" and that "my first foul has to tell him he's in for a long night." While that may raise red flags in the league office, it also may be an attempt to play mind games with the high-scoring Parker, who has shredded the Mavericks' defense through two games of their first-round series. Dampier insisted after the game that he would "get his money's worth" on his first foul when Parker drove to the basket, which he has done with impunity. Without question, Dampier will be watched more closely by the game officials after his comments. If the league has any penalty to hand down before the game, it would probably be a fine, not a suspension. -- Dallas Morning News

A lot of people don't like him because he's been groomed for the league from his high school days. He didn't solely work alone like other greats: Magic, Bird, Jordan, even Bryant by today's standards. The guy has been a media darling who can do no wrong. At least he hasn't been grossly overrated for the past two seasons, but before that, this guy was being hailed as the best in the league and he wasn't even better than CP3, D-Wade, or Kobe.

LJ is a great player, but he gets so many calls at home. 16 FTA for one player? Lol, no other player in the league will get something like that in the playoffs. Maybe Kobe or D-wade, but I doubt it.

Old school basketball is the best way to role. I really hope Dampier lives up to what he says, & then I hope Duncan puts his ass to the ground. That is basketall at its best.

Derrick Rose is a big boy he can handle his own problems. Stern doesn't need to be butting in on games. let the players play. Let the refs call Flagarants when appropriate.

Neither one of you had a problem with the physical tactics that Posey used.

[Mister J]

What the hell does Posey have to do with this? Nobody said they shouldn't play physical against Parker. Hell, I called Cleveland idiots for not doing so in the Finals. The only point that was being made was Dampier is an idiot for running his mouth and essentially promising a cheap shot. What his sorry ass should have done was shut up and go about his business. He could have increased the physicality, made the point of 'no easy layups' and no one would have said anything. Now, there's increased scrutiny on the matter, which a 3rd grader could have told you was coming, and all it does is inhibit whatever defense Dallas was planning. I full well expect the league office to get involved when gooning it up is alluded to. This was as predictable as it gets.

[Mister J]

*slams money down* You are on!:cmad:
After the office calls him and drops a fine number, I imagine Ericka will be too hesitant to look at Parker wrong. He's already playing with limited ability. Adding hesitation to the mix might as well have him sitting home. Dallas would be better off letting me wear some platform shoes and play center.

Boy, am I digging a potential hole for myself or what? :woot:

I'm just glad his opt-out is next year and not this one. Spoelstra ran him into the ground by refusing to give the younger guys any opportunity to consistently make an impact. The offense is so predictable, it's ridiculous. When Haslem got hurt, Beasley averaged 24/11 over the last 5 games, yet as soon as Haslem was cleared to play, Mike's ass was right back on the bench. That **** has to change next season.

But seriously, I don't see anything wrong with Dampier's comments. I mean sure, he's in no position to really say anything since he hasn't proven himself.

There are far worse things to be said than saying he's going to send Tony Parker a message. It's just trash talk and it's obvious people are too sensitive these days so everyone has to be PC.

[Darthphere]

If by insulting the Mavs you mean stating a fact about Dampier then yeah.

[LastSunrise1981]

If by insulting the Mavs you mean stating a fact about Dampier then yeah.

Exactly my point, who cares about Dampier? Dallas is my favorite team and I could careless about him. He hasn't done anything to prove himself or to even suggest that his comments deserve to be printed.

If Dampier is too thick headed enough to realize that publishing your comments about a gameplan to an opposing player isn't smart, then it's own fault.

[Darthphere]

That wasn't my point. :huh:

[Bond]

I predict Dampier will be gone next year. Watching Cuban frustratingly shake his head whenever he misses a middle-school lay-up shows it.

[Mister J]

I think Cubes is shaking his head, thinking 'How in the world did I sign this guy to a contract through 2011? I've still got to pay him 24M. ****!'

Unless there's a sign-and-trade with, say Josh Howard, I don't see why anyone would take that contract.

[LastSunrise1981]

That wasn't my point. :huh:

You, Mister J, and GWG pointed out that you think Dampier is an idiot, correct? And that what you all stated is a fact. So why are you confused?

[LastSunrise1981]

I predict Dampier will be gone next year. Watching Cuban frustratingly shake his head whenever he misses a middle-school lay-up shows it.

Dampier lost all credibility when he said he was the one of the greatest centers in the NBA. I will say that I feel he shouldn't be fined since it's just the usual trash talk NBA players do.

Maybe we can send him to a sucky team or something, then he'll fade away into obscurity.

Billy Hunter: Players Union Pleased With Current CBA (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=4091270)
If NBA commissioner David Stern is looking for a major overhaul in the collective bargaining agreement, he's going to have to convince Billy Hunter, executive director of the NBA Players Association, that it's necessary.

"As far as I'm concerned, the system has worked," Hunter said late Wednesday.

Then he made his own suggestion about how to ease the financial problems of the league's small-market teams.

"One of the principle issues is that some owners are having a hard time with cash flow," Hunter said. "I don't see why that automatically means more give-backs from the players. It seems to me a new revenue-sharing plan among the owners is one of the things they have to look at. Then you wouldn't be looking to the players every time there's a shortfall."

The current labor pact, signed in July, 2005, will expire in June, 2011. No substantive talks with the league on a subsequent deal will begin until after July 1, Hunter said, because union president Derek Fisher and other board members are involved in the playoffs. The current system guarantees the players 57 percent of basketball-related revenue (BRI).

Stern has not said specifically what the owners are seeking in the next CBA, but everything from a reduction in the BRI cut to the maximum length and size of contracts has been floated. In any case, the union has no interest in tearing up the existing deal before it expires.

Whenever the two sides finally meet, the league is going to have to demonstrate that its financial state demands player concessions. After distributing a memo to all 30 teams in February to be prepared for projected league revenues -- and thereby the player-payroll salary cap -- to drop next season, Stern recently announced that a modest increase in league revenue is expected.

"The league just had the third-largest attendance in its history, but revenues are flat because owners had to discount tickets," Hunter said. "I'm a little confused. With all that, flat is good in this economic climate."

Hunter declined to outline what the players might be seeking in the new deal, but a source said repealing the age limit, reducing the amount of player salaries held in escrow, loosening rules concerning restricted free agents and changing the league's disciplinary system top the list.

The biggest points of contention are likely to be the age limit and the disciplinary system. The current deal requires a player to be 19 -- and one year removed from high school in the U.S. -- before he is draft-eligible. There has been talk that the league would like to raise the limit by another year, but one union source said "90 percent" of the current players are against it now.

Hunter regrets agreeing to it. "It was a way of closing negotiations the last time," he said. "It was the only thing left to get a deal done. We capitulated."

The players, the source said, also want suspensions handed down by the league to be reviewed by an independent arbitrator before they go into effect, the system used in Major League Baseball. Under the current NBA system, any suspension of 12 games or less can't be appealed and all suspensions go into effect immediately.

Hunter also dismissed the threat of another labor lockout by the owners. The 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games when owners suspended operations for six months, practically forcing the players to agree to their terms. Agent David Falk, in discussions about a book he released this winter, said the owners are prepared to impose a two-year lockout this time to get the players to capitulate to a drastically revised labor pact.

"That would be catastrophic," Hunter said. "I don't think this league could withstand another lockout."
The Union better bow down or ...I'll take lockouts for $400, Alex.
