Playoff time is almost here.
I have financial interest in lakers winning the west.
Sad for spurs fans that manu is out for the year, good for me.
can we have a Cav's and Lakers finals? it would be david sterns wet dream.
Shaq will not be in the playoffs this year, so expect him to be real overweight next season.
I think portland will be a suprising team in the postseason

is bynum back yet?

is bynum back yet?
back on sunday against the jazz, according to nba.com

I'm rooting for Dwayne Wade and the Heat!
I hope Wade gets MVP but it will probably go to Lebron.

I want a Lakers v. Celtics final. Lakers are the obvious favorite in the West. I think Boston beats Cleveland if Garnett is healthy.
Lakers took both games from Boston and Cleveland this year, including Cleveland's only home loss this season.
The Lakers should win it all, especially if Bynum does come back at 100 percent.

i dont want a cookie cuter nba finals....
hopefully a yong team goes deep like the hawks or portland or even denver.

Not sold on Cleveland at all. Lebron is a hand full to deal with. But I think their gaudy regular season record has more to do with a shitty Eastern Conference. Stick Cleveland in the west and they would easily be 10 losses worse than they are now. Their starting back court is really good offensively and defensively with West and Williams, though. I think the Lakers would beat the Cavs in 5 games if they played in the finals.
By the way, does anyone realize that Ben Wallace is the highest paid player annually on the Cavs? $14,500,000 salary. Plays 24 minutes a game. Wow.

I agree with this. I've watched Cleveland several times this year and have not been impressed. They don't look like a championship team to me. I think Orlando would probably beat them in a seven game series.
Didn't know that about Wallace. He's on IR too.
Regarding the MVP, it should be Kobe but it's likely going to be LeBron.

I mean...Lebron is the MAN. But every championship team typically has that second great player that takes the team to the next level. Maybe Williams at PG is that player but I would think a stud PF would put Cleveland over the top. Cleveland might play Boston in the second round if Orlando gets the #2 seed in the East. Boston, come playoff time, will BRING IT with or without Kevin Garnett at full strength. They are the defending champions until another team eliminates them. In a seven game series, I don't see Cleveland beating them.
-
Orlando has owned Cleveland this year. I'm more worried about Orlando than i am about Cleveland. The Celtics beat the Cavs without Garnett a few weeks ago and the game was never in doubt.

I have no interest in the NBA. Grew up a huge Bird and Co. fan in the 80's.

welcome to the thread anyway showstoppa.
Will the spurs make the Western conference finals?
Can the Mavs upset the lakers?
Will lebron's supporting cast let him down?
Can the Celtics repeat?
Is kobe goin to go completely Jordanesque in the postseason?

Not many teams match up well with Orlando, PERIOD. Not unless they have a legit big man that can keep Dwight Howard in check. Best of luck with that!

Opponents will routinely double and triple Howard down low. If Turk and Lewis are hitting their kickout shots, Orlando is a very dangerous team.

Nope. Just a sports fan, period.
But my team is the Wizards. If they get lucky enough to win the NBA draft lottery, they get Blake Griffin. Getting a guy like him makes the Wizards one of the best teams in the East next year. If not Griffin, they will still go after size and defense with Thabeet at C or Dejuan Blair at PF. They're in good shape for next season. If everyone is healthy, they win 50 games easy.
I'm pulling for Dwayne Wade and the Heat. Love watching D-Wade play.

D wade is awesome, he needs more help this year, what the fuck is up with beazley??? did he disappear?
just watched the lakers dismantle the nuggets, bynum is back and looking great on the court

I think Beasley is still caught up in the bright lights and fame of being a pro and playing in Miami. Got a buddy who lives in South Beach and he tells me that he sees Beasley at all the hot clubs hooking up with tons of pussy. His stats are pretty weak on the pro level so far, considering this guy was putting up 26 and 12 a game at K-State. Hopefully, he'll really work on his game this upcoming off-season and put on some more muscle so he can bang with the best down in the post. Plus, he's playing behind Haslem, who is a respectable starting PF in the NBA. He needs to work on his defense and stay out of early foul trouble. Once he works on all of those things, he'll be force to reckon with in a season or two.
Bynum puts the Lakers over the top as the favorite to win it all. He looked good last night.

I think beazley does not have the mind set to be a great player, pat riley had second thoughts on drafting him, he was going to go with mayo but they had Wade.
I'm happy for beazley hitting the clubs and tearing up pussy, but his career should come first, the pussy will be there forever, his only young once, make the most of the talent.
as for the lakers, i cannot see anyone taken them out in the playoffs, they execute real good, and since its the playoffs you know kobe will go off
-
Bynum looked good yesterday, but did you see Kobe? The man is an assassin. He was all over the court. Breaking ankles. Constantly in the paint. Hitting threes. Mid-range jumpers. All contested shots. The Black Mamba is ready for the playoffs.
-
I don't know why the Lakers can't beat Portland at Portland (or Charlotte anywhere). Good thing LA will have home court if they face them in the playoffs.

I'm afraid lebron is going to be brick laying this time round, they are going to send so many guys at him, if his jumpers dont sink its going to be deprssing for cavs fans.
as for the lakers, i just wish kobe stops doing fadeaway 3 pointers, thats all i ask for..if he can do that i dont see anyone matching them

Are you saying Le-Brick will return in the playoffs? :)
Lakers looked good today, everyone looks good against Memphis. Ariza had a great game.

I think LeBrick will show up in the Eastern conference finals, his a better 3 point shooter then jump shooter, BTW who else is a threat on the cavs??
lakers took care of memphis, meh, i wanted them to beat the blazers, oh well, bring on the playoffs.

I think Orlando can beat Cleveland too. Not sure who else. The East really stinks. The Pistons are done. The Hawks aren't ready. Not much else over there.
Who are you picking to come out of the East?

i wanna say the cavs are gonna go all the way,but dammit its cleveland,so something bad is bound to happen haha

Mo has stepped his game up this year dude,delonte was on fire til he got injured,but he's had his moments since he came back
I still have my doubts,i hope im wrong though,i just dont wanna say all this shit and get crushed later ;D

Made my son watch the Lakers v. Sixers game 6 NBA Finals last night. Wanted him to see how basketball used to be played. As a rookie, Magic played center (in place of the injured Kareem), forward, and guard. He had 42, 15, and 7 (something like that). Silk Wilkes had 30. Norm Nixon. Cooper. Dr. J. Dawkins. Mo Cheeks. Bobby Jones.
They don't play basketball like that anymore.
-
Garnett done for the playoffs it looks like. Boston's currently is built for a three year run, given the age of it's best players in Garnett, Pierce, and Allen.
So it looks like year two for this team is a wrap.

how awful must it feel to work hard all year then to get injured and miss out on repeating another finals win.
Lebron must be in heaven at the moment!
Im really interested to see how the whole Blazers VS Rockets series will unfold.

Cavs would have beat them anyway as we all know they have home court a better record and are a younger deeper team.

I admit the Rockets do play them well especially by staying on Rudy. But I like that both B Roy and LA stepped up in game two as they are the team leaders and they should. One critcisim though is I think Blake needs to take more outside shots to help spread the defense. But it was nice to see him get a couple good layups.

True, although Portland can't win in LA and LA has home court. I'm more concerned about Portland than any team in the playoffs, including the Cavs.

game 3 reminded me of last year
-
funny how there like 2 pages of lakers talk then soon as they lose suddenly crickets.
-
That Deron Williams is a flat out stud. I think he's just as good as Chris Paul.
I think LA wins game 5. They played a horrible game, Kobe had one of his worst ever playoff shooting performances, Bynum only played about 7 minutes, and they still only lost by two, with a chance to win it at the end.
-
I'm tired of the advantage that the refs give the home teams. Lakers got their calls in LA, Utah got theirs at home. It's so F'ing annoying. I don't want there to be any advantage for the home team.
Im not making excuses for LA's loss yesterday. Meant to say this before the game. They lost cause they played poorly.
>:( >:(

I agree. Daron Williams and CP3 are two of my favorite point guards. I would be very happy if Portland ever acquired one of them.

Deron Williams is the only thing Utah has going for them. Feel bad he is there.

Yes they did as usual. Somone needs to tell the refs that B Roy is a two time all star and they need to call the fouls when he gets bumped. But I also admit the Blazers did shaft themselves too. Blazers need to win game 4 if they want to have a chance.

I don't know. Maybe a bye for the 1 seed and back to best of 5 for the first round.

the first round really needs to be eliminated

good idea for fans, but for the owners of the teams it sucks, most teams either lose $ or break even in the regular season, its not until the playoffs where the profit starts coming in.
especially for teams like atlanta, orlando who have a small market, they need that extra TV money, Home games, playoff merchandise sales to stay healthy.

yeah it is all about money
just boring basketball imo, i don't know how anybody can enjoy watching their 6 seed team, knowing that they have no shot of winning a title
i don't think it geta interesting until the finals but outside of detroit in 2004 and maybe the heat in 06, has anybody ever been surprised by the champion?
E
-
when is the season over? Tired of basketball
-
Yes they did as usual. Somone needs to tell the refs that B Roy is a two time all star and they need to call the fouls when he gets bumped. But I also admit the Blazers did shaft themselves too. Blazers need to win game 4 if they want to have a chance.
Didn't happen.
Guess we're f*cked again. Why do they let Outlaw play in those situations? I would rather see Sergio in there than Trout.

Earl don't you watch your favorite team every year whether they are good or bad?
I had an awfully long drought as a Laker fan in the 90s, so I'm really happy to see them play well again.
Also, there have been some very good games so far (Portland v. Houston, Chicago v. Boston, Orlando, etc.)

Travis is good, just does some stupid things sometimes. I certainly don't think Sergio is a better offensive weapon but he is good at making things happen like moving the ball around and creating shots for the big guys. Hopefully the Blazers won't get knocked out at home. :(

baseball is boring anyways, i don't even watch the world series but at least the playoffs are interesting, unlike the nba playoffs

if you're a bulls fan and they upset the celtics, do you really think the bulls have a chance of getting to the finals and winning?

Let's compare apples to apples, Earl. Using AAA baseball teams is a poor example.
My Orioles suck balls every year but I still back those fuckers and love to talk shit with Red Sox and Yankees fans every chance I get. When the Orioles do finally get their shit together, I will be right there in the thick of it savoring every moment. Shit, If the Devil Rays can do it, then my fucking Orioles can one day do it, too.
It's called having a sense of pride in who you support whether they're perennial winners or losers. That's just my opinion. That's what being a sports fan is all about.
The one year the Pirates start winning will probably be the same year you'll stand on your soapbox trying to convince rival fans that you knew it all along that they would turn it around.
That's called being a fair-weather fan....fans like that have no ball sack.

the quality of pirates baseball is AAA
who are oriole fans to talk shit to yankee and red sox fans? that is just as ridiculous as browns, bengals, and ravens fans talking shit to steeler fans ;)
after this season the pirates will have the record FOR ALL SPORTS as the team with the longest consecutive losing seasons, they are the most pathetic franchise in all of sports and with their current mgt and lack of a cap they will ALWAYS be a loser
call me a fair weather fan if you want, i call it being realistic
i still watched penguin games when they were the worst team in the league earlier this decade

it's not a good argument to talk about how much your team has won or beatin someone when your trying to defend yourself against being a front runner...I have read your posts no need to read them again.you give up on your team if they have losing seasons thats a front runner/fair weather fan period.if your beloved steelers had 17 straight losing season's you would bail on them as well.your the worst kind of sports fan...thats also why your attempting to down play the NBA and there champions.because theres no Pittsburgh team to begin with and a Cleveland team might win it all.It's actually funny this was brought up.because I ask every steelers fan I come across if they support there pirates.And out of hundreds I think there was 1-2 that did.but I guarantee if the pirates won a couple world series that number would shoot threw the roof...but thats just your typical Pittsburgh fan for ya.

like i said i hate baseball and the pirates will never be a winner again
i refuse to support a team that plays a sport i don't like when the mgt makes no effort to make them a winner, buying tickets is just telling mgt you accept a losing team and their lack of effort to improve, smart fans like me stay away
your browns at least try to win, the pirates don't
i would not bail on the steelers, i love football
keep watching boring predictable 1st round nba basketball, the nba is milking you for every cent ;)

I agree, especially looking at how well Kevin Durant has played.
The Boston v. Chicago series is pretty good. I think Rondo should be suspended for the head shot on Brad Miller at the end of the game.
Same for Dwight Howard in the Orlando game. Elbow to the head. He should sit for game six.

Garnett has morphed into the biggest d-bag on the floor
By EAMONN BRENNAN
It's sad, sort of. We used to love Kevin Garnett. Remember when the Bulls were supposedly in the running to trade for him? Remember when Garnett was the Hall of Fame center stuck on a horrible franchise? Remember last year, when Garnett finally won that title, and you felt good for him, felt that if there was anyone who deserved a trade to a title contender, it was him?
Remember when it was easy to like Kevin Garnett?
We do. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
Anyone who's watched even a few minutes of the Bulls series these last few days has seen an injured, besuited Garnett. He gets more TV time than Doc Rivers, it seems. Every time the camera flashes to Garnett, sitting on the sideline because he's too hurt to play, Garnett is doing one of two things. He's either a) sticking his chin out in a defiant mean-mug that at this point just looks stupid, especially from SOMEONE SITTING ON THE BENCH IN A SUIT, or b) raining down a host of obscenities, usually at Bulls players.
Which, to a point, is fine. If that's how Garnett needs to re-emasculate himself, to make up for the fact that his body his breaking down and he can't get on the court this year, fine. But last night was worse than usual. Last night crossed a line. After Brad Miller missed the first of two potentially game-tying overtime free throws, Garnett took time out of his busy injured schedule to yell "choke" at Brad Miller. Classy, man. (And this is coming from us, someone you'll rarely ever see complain about "class" in sports.) There's also this photo of a snarling Garnett getting in Ben Gordon's face, the same Ben Gordon who played through his injury last night while Garnett threw on Armani and did his cheerleading from the sidelines.
Garnett's Adidas campaign slogan is, get this, "Basketball is a Brotherhood." If our brother acted like such a raging, overcompensating, confused and classless d-bag, we'd have disowned him long ago.

Houston will never win with Tracy Mcgrady, he can help em win 20 straight but can never win 4 in the postseason.
as for Greg oden, dude is a bust, yes a bust, i know his young and all that, but he showed nothing but stupidity this season, his a fouling machine, most likely cause he is to slow on his feet cause there full of pins and shit

you know oden just came off microfracture knee surgery right?
remember when amare came back after the same injury? in took him about 2 years to regain his explosiveness. Combined with the fact that this was essentially odens rookie year...hes far from a bust

ok, im really tired of people referring to amare as a example, amare was a offensive force before he did his knee in, this guy is no force, he cannot defend, have you ever watched a whole game with greg oden playing, he cannot move well, hence the foul trouble, people say his a great defender?? how? i cannot remember alonzo mourning getting into foul trouble as often as this guy, and Zo contested every shot.
and maybe bust is a bad word, he was mad overrated and i am sure portland head office is disappointed.

what does offensive force have to do with anything? Oden wasn't a force before his injury? LOLZ. Are you saying you don't use your athleticism to rebound and block shots? Kenyon martin had the same injruy and it took some time for him to get anywhere close to his pre-injury explosiveness.
Did you watch his freshmen year at ostate? The guy had serious hops. He was extremely explosive. He averaged 10 boards and 3 blocks during his time at ohio state.
now one is saying he's a great defender scott. He has all the potential to be one.
-

Maybe. But I think the series is lacking without Kevin Garnett playing in it. I also think this series would have been wrapped up in 5 games if the Celtics still had Powe and Garnett in the lineup. That takes away any notion that this series is a classic, in my opinion. The Celtics are a much better team than the Bulls when healthy. 62 wins versus 41 wins. 'Nuff said.
-

a good series but not even close to being considered great, to be great you need great players.
i was a young kid when i watched the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls,Kincks and Pistons battle it out, those were great. i would rank the late mid to late 90's Heat-Kinicks above this one also, those teams hated each other.

If my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle.....you don't judge classic games/series by who's healthy.Or who won more regular season games.....that being said...yea of course the Celtics are a better team with Garnett,Powe goes without saying doesn't it.

well obviously you don't watch espn or listen to sports talk radio,as you are doubting something that has been being discussed constantly the last few days..Your point goes out the window when you start your argument with "I was a young kid"listen.everyone gets that warm fuzzy feeling thinking back to the games they grew up watching.especially if it's a team they root for.but take your bias and nostalgic memories away and see things as they are.I could care less who wins this series but I still know sports enough to appreciate what I'm watching.It's all subjective but...the numbers don't lie this series has brokin many records and they still have one more to play.
-

Your point goes out the window when you start your argument with "I was a young kid"listen.everyone gets that warm fuzzy feeling thinking back to the games they grew up watching.
apparently im not the only one who thinks those series were some of the greatest being that the NBA still uses the highlights of those Lakers, Pistons, Bulls, Celtics and Knicks playoff battles in todays highlights.
will people still be talking about this series 5,10,20 years later and still using some of the highlights? dont think so.
i can see how some casual sports fans can be a bit short sighted and get caught up in the hype, it is a good series. but you might want to let the dust dust settle and look at the entire NBA Playoff history that is encompassed by so many great players and moments before you crown it one of the greatest ever.
like a kid who immediately says this Christmas was the best ever because he sees the new toys in front of him at the moment, when he gets older he forgets the trendy toys with all the bells and whistles and appreciates the bigger moments.
all the overtimes and lead changes are fun to watch and makes for a good game/series but does not equate to one of the greatest series ever. like a toy with all the bells and whistles, dont get so easily mesmerized.

it is a very exciting series but theses teams dont have enough history with each other for this to be considered one of the greatest ever, or the stars.
MJ's shot over Eloh, Magics baby hook to beat the Celtics, Birds multiple clutch shots..so many great moments with great players.
it would awesome if KG came dressed to play in the middle of game seven like Willis Reid did, that was mentioned on Mike and Mike this morning. wont happen though, but it would be great tv!

yes...It is being discussed as one of the best in history.and It's already been said that 5,10,20 years down the line 3-4 of the games will be in regular rotation on NBA classics...Rose passed wilt Chamberlain and tied the all time record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 36 points in his rookie post season debut.factor in record lead changes,And more over times in one series than theres been by one team in all of a post season run combined you got what?An instant classic that what.this series has people watching that don't even follow the NBA.It's got people that don't care for either team(like Myself)watching every game..but yea your right it's nothing special ::)..And you shouldn't feel to good about BeachBum agreeing with you..He thinks Dinosaurs and Man walked the earth at the same time. :o

and It's already been said that 5,10,20 years down the line 3-4 of the games will be in regular rotation on NBA classics...
where? i would like to see this.
Rose passed wilt Chamberlain and tied the all time record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 36 points in his rookie post season debut.
no one cares about that.
..but yea your right it's nothing special
when did i say this. ive said many time this is a very exciting series.
And you shouldn't feel to good about BeachBum agreeing with you..He thinks Dinosaurs and Man walked the earth at the same time.
why does that bother you so much? people have different beliefs like you and I.
i guess the main thing is we are both enjoying one hell of a series by these two teams, if you want to consider this one of the greatest series ever, you can do so, who am i to tell you what to think. by all means enjoy the heck out of it. its entertainment and thats what its for. time will tell whether this series is regarded as one of the greatest ever, though that really is missing the point of enjoying what have now i guess which is the set up to a great game 7, im looking forward to it.

that was Magics rookie year, 79-80?
i think i was 2 or 3 years old then.
i started watching in like 85 or so, i would still take Magic to start my team. McHale is so underrated, Bird was ruthless seemed almost cold blooded when he played, as a kid he really reminded me of Darth Vader for some reason.

Yep. Rookie year. Incredible.
I don't think we'll ever again see teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, and Sixers, just loaded with HOF players.
My all-time favorite team would be:
PG: Magic
SG: Kobe/Jordan
SF: Bird
PF: McHale
C: Kareem
I'd win a title every year with that team. :)

Get rid of Kobe and you have a team. I mean WTF the best player ever shouldn't have to share with some rapist. ::)

He's arguably the best player ever. If we're talking purely offense, I think Kobe is better.
And he's not a rapist. Did you follow the Colorado case? Kobe did not rape Kate Faber.
-
I dont think he will be a force defensively, his timing sucks, i know his a rookie, but cmon, he had no impact whatsoever in the houston series, besides ending Dikembe's career
point taken. But just keep in mind
A. this was his first year
B. He came off micro fracture knee surgery

D-Whistle shot 17 free throws. Should be a good game 7.
Too bad we have to wait till Monday for this:
-
yao has come along way.
hes probably my favorite player to watch. He's10x more agressive and plays with more anger than when kobe dunked on him. Thank god tmac is out.
-
I predict Kobe will dunk on either Yao, Artest, or Battier.
-
na...when the last time he dunked on someone? hes an old fart..plus the olympics...then another 82 games
im talking about a poster...it doesnt count when you dunk on smaller guys ala steve nash last year
-
I guess you didn't watch the Utah series.
Old fart? lol . . . Dude do you just make stuff up just to argue with people? lol . . .
He didn't dunk on Nash last year.
-
He didn't dunk on Nash last year.
that was the 07-08 season scott.
and kobe is getting old. Notice how i said he played all summer last year after a deep playoff run and 82 games this year.
youre just ignorant if you dont think kobe has lost some of his explosiveness
-
okay. it does says 2006 Lol

:'( I miss Brandon Roy.

You need to grow up. People aren't ignorant because they disagree with you.
You didn't say Kobe was getting old. You called him an old fart. Ridiculous. If you think he has lost anything at all then you don't watch Laker games. I watch almost every televised Laker game and he has not lost a thing. He's still the best player on the planet. He can still get his shot off any time he wants. He still cannot be guarded one-on-one.
That said, I'm really interested to see how he does against Battier, who has guarded him as well as anyone in the league.
-
You didn't say Kobe was getting old. You called him an old fart
you say tumato i say tomato
What did you think i meant when i said he played all of last summer(before that an 82 game season and finals run) and another long season this year? He's not 17 anymore. He doesnt have the same explosiveness as he used to.
its perfectly fine of you, ignorant though, but fine to think otherwise

Yes, Kobe has lost a step, Kobe dunked on Nash last year, Kobe never dunks on anyone, etc., etc. Got it.

chances that he does all this in one game is pretty good.
loved the Showtime Lakers, dont like the Kobe Lakers i hope they lose. Kobe is great though.
what's this about him losing a step? crazy talk.

Yeah. Nuts.
Looks like we got us a series. I still don't think Houston will give LA much trouble. That's about as bad as LA can play and Houston shot the ball extremely well. No way does Artest continue to drain 3s.

i kept waiting for Kobe to turn it on...game two he will be on fire.

He has always been streaky. The whole team looked bad today.

Still rooting for a Lakers v. Celtics Finals. They both have some work to do. I think the Lakers win by 20 today. Not sure about Boston.

WTF? >:(

interesting game tonight.
joey crawford has a quick trigger, and artest should NOT have been thrown out. pathetic. kobe got away with that elbow.
not suprised if he gets suspended
-
he won't get suspended.
Game 3 should be fun to watch
-

i didnt see the elbow. was it as flagrant as Howard's?
Houston can beat LA, they just need to get Yao more touches and he needs to stay out of foul trouble. Bynum hasnt showed up at all.

I don't think Kobe's elbow was that bad..but what fisher did on the other hand deserves a one game suspension.
-
Great game. Kobe is just on another level. Incredible player. He was talking a bit too much trash though.
No way does Kobe get suspended. Artest was trying to push him out of the lane and Kobe pushed back. Artest acted like a big baby. If you're going to try and push people around, you have to expect them play you tough too. He needs to man up.
Absolutely loved the Derek Fisher foul! That was worth a one game suspension. Gave me chicken skin. Beautiful hit. Give that man a helmet and pads. The Niners could use him. :)

yes he is on another level
he pushed back with his elbow, he like Dwight Howard should be suspended. players should not be treated differently
-
Lol bb making a case for his hero.
that bow' was no different than what howard did to dalembert.
the refs were in the pockets of jerry buss last night, the calls were that bad
-
yes he is on another level

They should treat them as different situations, because that's what they were. The play was over when Howard threw the elbow and connected with the guy's head. Kobe was fighting for position with a guy who outweighs him by about 30 or 40 pounds and was trying to push him out of the lane. Really no comparison IMO.
-
it doesnt matter if the play was over, or the game was over. He threw an the 'bow intentionally and it connected above the shoulders.
he needs to sit 1 game.

didnt Kobe elbow Arrtest? Arrtest doesnt outwiegh him by 30-40 pounds? however im just going by the letter of the law, i didnt see the elbow play or the replay. and a weight difference shouldnt matter at all.
-

He elbowed Artest to the extent he was trying to get position. That happens under the basket all the time. I watched it live and have seen several replays. It wasn't anything like the Howard elbow. The refs actually called a foul on Artest on the play. Artest then ran all over the court and got in Kobe's face crying. Artest is a tough player, but he acted like a sissy on that play.
Artest is actually about 50 or more pounds heavier than Kobe. He's about 260. Kobe is a little over 200.
I think the weight difference matters, because it takes a lot more effort for a small player to fight for position with a larger player. Size difference also plays a huge rule when it comes to calling flagrant fouls.

The tech foul on Artest was an overreaction by the refs, partly based on Artest's past. nothing wrong with getting in the face of someone who through an elbow at you, regarless if it was while trying to get position.
i didnt realize Artest was that much bigger than Kobe. still though it shouldnt matter, an elbow can hurt anyone no matter the size.
Fisher got a flagrant though he was half the size of whats his face.

They called a personal foul on Artest on the play. Then he got two technicals. Artest said after the game he deserved the first technical. Actually, he could get suspended for not leaving the court in a timely fashion after getting ejected, but I don't think should or will happen.
Yes I agree his reputation played a role in getting the second technical, but he was really acting like a little girl. A complete overreaction.
Fisher deserved his flagrant II and should be suspended for 1 game. But I still loved it. :)

this is why i hate kobe fans.
you dont elbow someone in the neck to get position, and if you do it gets caled. You're acting like its allowed.
and artest is not 260. more like 250 and kobe is about 215-220. But this has nothing to do with anything. You can't justify elbowing someone in the neck because he's bigger than you and is boxing you out correctly.
star players get calls.
-
Cut the shit. Anyone who says that Kobe does not play by his own rules is full of shit. As said above, star players get calls in the NBA. If the situation was reversed, Artest would have been suspended. It's ok to say that Kobe lost his cool and threw a cheap shot. it's not going to change the fact that he is one of the best players to ever live. Kobe is a good guy on the court 90% of the time.

this is the logic that seperates casual basketball fans and basketball purists.
get a grip.
suspension for not leaving in a timely manner? HAHAHA thats golden.
-

Calm down son. Your facts are almost always wrong. I would pull the weight figures, but I don't feel like trying to educate you anymore. It's a waste of time. Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
We have a different opinion of the play. We'll see who Stu Jackson agrees with. I'm not sure what he's going to do. There are several decisions I haven't agreed with during the playoffs, including not suspending Rondo for throwing a player into the scorer's table in one game and throwing a punch in another.

I don't think he plays by his own rules. He's not a dirty player. In fact, like Shaq in his prime, he probably doesn't get nearly enough calls. They let fouls go on him all the time.
And reputation matters.

and the decision has been made. Kobe will get a flagrant 1 for he elbow and fish is out for 1 game.

Yes, the decision was made. No suspension. Neither Kobe nor Artest should have been suspended.

fast foreward to about 1:00 min...Beach say what you want bro kobe intentionally elbowed artest and put a little something on it for good measure, What would have been great is if artest would have ripped that little twink apart. Houstons line up is much bigger then the lakers they should think twice before they start shit I garuntee those dumbasses dont pull that shit in houston.

You Houston homer. lol. j/k. :)
And what, in your view, was Artest doing? I just looked at again (for about the tenth time). They were fighting for position. Big guy against little guy. Little guy won. :)
If the Lakers start Bynum, Houston's lineup isn't much bigger than LA.

LOL so it would have been ok if artest would have just cracked kobe with an elbow? LOL be honest beach that was intentional and was more then just a tap. Little guy played the bitch card and ran to the side of a ref kobe would get ripped apart by artest and you know this.
Your joking yourself bro, artest, scola, battier, yao...LOL rockets outweigh the lakers by a good amount man.

What, in your opinion, was Artest doing?
Ran to the ref? Oh come on. The only one crying like a woman was Artest. That's why he got tossed. Like I said earlier, he's a tough guy, but he acted like a sissy.
If you're talking weight, then yeah the Houston starting 5 is probably heavier, but not by that much. Bynum is 7' and about 280. Gasol is 7' and proably about 250. Ariza is about 6'8", but light. Kobe is light. Fisher probably outweighs that little water bug who plays the point for Houson by about 30 pounds. :)

They were fighting for position, fighting for position doesnt entail throwing an elbow to somebodies throat beach.
Artest was trying to do the right thing and not bury that twink like he wanted to
LOL waterbug? did you see that waterbug in game one? LOL you are right though fisher does outweigh him but its all fat :-X

Well at least we agree on the fighting for position part. That's in large part why I didn't think it was a dirty play. Artest was trying to push Kobe out of the lane. I don't think Kobe was trying to elbow Artest in the neck, AND . . . the league said it was an elbow to the chest.
I think there is a big difference between an elbow like Howard's, where the play was over and he was clearly trying to clock the guy in the head, and an elbow that catches someone during a fight for position.
I called him a waterbug because he is tiny and runs around like Barry Sanders. :) Fish can't keep up with him.
Fisher fat? Oh come on dude. That guy drives some iron:

LOL the elbow was clearly meant for above the shoulders bro, thats not even a question, whether the league said it was or not doesnt change that fact. Fighting for position doesnt include throwing elbows above the shoulders kobe should have been called for that not artest. It wasnt an elbow that artest simply caught, it was an elbow intentionally thrown at him that connected watch that video beach youve said youve seen it you cant seriously tell me that kobe didnt intentionally try to throw that elbow and elbow above even kobes shoulders where do you think he was aiming?
Ya fisher looks like he has leaned out alot i actually thought the same last night i wouldnt be suprised if he was supplementing with something ;D hahahha

I've looked at it and don't believe he was trying to elbow Artest in the throat. I seriously doubt he was aiming for anything in the heat of battle. He's simply not that kind of player. He doesn't have to be. He's more talented than anyone on the floor.
Now, I have seen dirty play from Artest.
Hey can you get someone in Houston to put something in Artest's soup or something? :) He has been killing the Lakers. I didn't think he was going to be able to keep draining 3s like Reggie Miller.
Not sure if Fish used. I think Odom has. Kobe probably used something several years ago when Phil wanted him to bulk up and play more SF and he put on about 20+ pounds of muscle very quickly.. I don't think Howard is clean. There are probably many others.
-
This is the best angle. Notice how this is no different than dwights elbow. It was intentional and out of frustration.

Nice angle. Jalen Rose was right. He must have been reading the board. :D And this angle shows, as Rose points out, Artest's elbow in Kobe's back and the back of Kobe's neck.

I've looked at it and don't believe he was trying to elbow Artest in the throat. I seriously doubt he was aiming for anything in the heat of battle. He's simply not that kind of player. He doesn't have to be. He's more talented than anyone on the floor.
Now, I have seen dirty play from Artest.
Hey can you get someone in Houston to put something in Artest's soup or something? :) He has been killing the Lakers. I didn't think he was going to be able to keep draining 3s like Reggie Miller.
Not sure if Fish used. I think Odom has. Kobe probably used something several years ago when Phil wanted him to bulk up and play more SF and he put on about 20+ pounds of muscle very quickly.. I don't think Howard is clean. There are probably many others.
I dont think NBA'ers are on stuff. call me naive but i cant see it.

yes his elbows make contact with the back of kobe's head. Also notice he gets lower than kobe and starts to box him out at the same time, his elbows wern't intentional. It's important that we distinguish between the two. This is called fighting for position, kobe gets mad, cocks back, and throws a elbow.
its really that simple. All i want is consistency from the nba.

i just want the nba pre-2000, hell even 2000-2004.
the nba was so much more fun to watch. Seriously, the hand check calls ruined the game, the intensity that tough play invited is gone, and just the competition. the nba is so watered down.

Although it's not nearly as pronounced, check out Odom's vascularity around his shoulders, and the size of his delts (though those have atrophied too). Same with Howard. I’m not 100 percent certain, but they look like they’ve used.
Have you been around people on the sauce? It's easier to spot users if you've ever been around or trained with them.

everyone looks huge on t.v.

I have never used but i grew up in the gym first The Gym and when it converted to Gold's. I know a lot of juicers. you cant base it off of vascularity esp the type that NBA'ers have. they are not that vascular. their uniforms make them appear more muscular than they are.
Did you hear about Kim Willoughby? busted for sause..crazy

hahaha did anyone catch this
yeah thats embarrassing. you cant slap a grown man on the back of the head on tv like that. i'd rather he punch me in the face for crying out loud.

Hey you go way back. :) Did you know Gold's is gone? Forget which gym is in there now.
I agree you can't look solely at vascularity (although oftentimes that's enough), which is why I mentioned their delt development.
Yeah I heard about Kim. STUPID! Like she really need it? She is the best volleyball player I've ever seen (live).
I saw the Alston slap. Deserved the suspension, but that was really funny. ;D

EXACTLY what artest was doing was positioning what kobe did was malicious he intentionally threw that elbow at artest.
There are probably tons of nba players on shit right now LOL look at the mlb most of those dudes dont hold anywhere as much muscle as these guys and they are juicing.

Yeah Gold's closed, everyone went to Powerhouse on Keave street across from where The Gym was. lots of characters there.
Kim; most of all she got busted for nandralone which is what i believe a very common steroid right? so wouldnt you figure it would be easily detectable? i wouldnt think female volleyball players were on the stuff. how long was she on it? in college?

Cav's still dominating.another 20 point win in the books.

Yeah. I think Alan Ichinose is running that one?
Kim was using hardcore stuff. Can't claim it was something in her supplements. :) Bone head move on her part. Not sure how long she was using. I never thought about it while she was at UH. I know a lot of the football players use, but I just never suspected a woman's volleyball player would be on the sauce.

artest didn't deserve the flagrant 2
van gundy is a good commentator.
when he is on ABC he is annoying
-
Nice win. Kobe was outstanding again. Did you see him block Yao's shot? Don't mess with The Black Mamba. :)
I didn't think Artest deserved a flagrant at all. It was just a hard foul IMO. But given how inconsistent the league has been, it would not surprise me if they suspended him. His reputation precedes him.

NBA downgraded Artests Flagrant 2 to Flagrant 1
Also, the NBA downgraded Ron Artest's flagrant foul against Pau Gasol in Friday night's Lakers-Rockets game from a flagrant-2 to a flagrant-1.
...
The downgrading of Artest's foul means he will carry only one flagrant foul point into Game 4 of the Rockets-Lakers series.
"The Artest play did not fit the criteria of a flagrant-2 -- unnecessary and excessive. It was unnecessary, but certainly not excessive," Jackson said.

Good decision.

Good decision.
if he keeps hitting 3's like Dennis scott then thats a bad decision.
You need to excuse me, im in hater mode at the moment, i need yao out of game 4 and artest to commit another flagrant foul, which i think means he will be suspended
-

Dennis Scott. Haven't heard that name in a while. :) Hitting 3s was about the only thing he could do.
Hate on mang. You have a financial interest in the outcome. I think LA wins the series regardless of whether Yao plays and/or is 100 percent.
The Mavericks suck. Should not have fired Avery.

Injury forces Yao out of Rockets-Lakers playoffs battle
By JONATHAN FEIGEN
Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle
May 9, 2009, 8:28PM
Rockets center Yao Ming was ruled out for the remainder of the sesaon after a hairline fracture was found in his left foot Saturday evening.
The Rockets had hopes he could play Sunday in Game 4 in their series against the Los Angeles Lakers, but additional diagnostic tests found the fracture.
The hairline fracture will not require surgery but will require an eight-to-12-week rehabilitation. This is the third consecutive year that Yao's season was interrupted or ended by a fracture of a bone.
“Yao Ming had an initial test taken in the early morning hours on Saturday following the game,” said Rockets team physician Tom Clanton in a press release. “The original diagnosis of the left ankle sprain was based on the results of that test. Further diagnostic procedures performed later in the day revealed a hairline fracture on the top of his left foot. In order for the bone to heal properly, Yao will need to immobilize the foot by wearing a walking boot. No surgery is required and he should be able to resume his regular workout routine sometime between the next eight to 12 weeks.”

Denver is playing very well, but I think you have to consider their competition (just like the Cavs). The Mavs stink. I doubt Denver has much of a shot against LA. No answer for Kobe. Pretty sure LA took the series from Denver this year. Only problem Denver poses for LA is Billups, but he can't carry them.

pathetic officiating today. Not even worth it to discuss.

This has the making of a Lebron-Kobe showdown, first Manu goes down, Duncans knees fail, Yao ming breaks leg, Kevin garnett shutdown with leg problems, i got a feeling denver will have a scare on it's way to.
and by the way Beach, where the heck is Andrew Bynum?

He is MIA. Lost his starting job to Odom. He doesn't look comfortable. Don't think he's 100 percent yet. Hopefully, he'll be ready by the Finals.
Kobe v. LeBron would be a good story, but I'd still rather see Boston v. LA.

this ones for you deke :-X

in defense of bynum he did a great job of fronting Yao ming all game

Mehh this Hawks team got a little lip service and people, before a game was played, were giving the Hawks some credibility...but now they aren't an opponent. If we play Orlando, people will bring up season records and such before the series...then, after we tear them apart, will talk about how the Cavs received no competition.
::)

I know you hate all things Boston, but how can you hate big baby? He's the type of guy who plays hard all the time. The Pats drafted Butler from your alma mater. Infact, Uconn has the second most players slected this year I think,

I think last year's sub-500 playoff Hawks were better than this year's version. They're banged up and not playing well at all.
I'm not a Cavs believer yet. If they run through either Orlando or Boston I'll be impressed.

UConn had a huge draft year. Never had a pick above the third round until this year. Four in the first two. Should be interesting to see how they pan out. They all had monster combines and pro days. Brown went from around the third to first with his combine workout.
About Davis, it's that reason I hate him. The guy has been carrying a ton of the load for Boston this season and has been knocking down clutch shots. I need those Celts out of the playoffs!

I'm not a Martin fan at all, but Cuban is out of control. If this is true, I think the league should suspend Cuban for at least one game (which is probably all Dallas has left in the playoffs anyway).
Nuggets' Martin: I'll talk with Cuban
ESPN.com news services
A day after Mother's Day, Kenyon Martin lobbed a verbal salvo to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban in defense of his own.
Martin, whose mother was verbally confronted by Cuban after Saturday night's game, said he was going to "take care of it" as early as Monday night, as the Nuggets looked to sweep the Mavericks in their second-round playoff series.
"I don't feel I need to call his name in the media and all that, but it's a little personal," Martin said after the Nuggets' shootaround in Dallas, according to a report on The Denver Post's Web site. "And I'm going to take care of it."
The incident, during which Cuban referred to Martin as a "thug" or a "punk," according to an earlier report in The Post, was part of a raucous postgame scene the NBA said it was reviewing.
Cuban told the Denver newspaper by e-mail that as he walked off the court after the Mavericks' Saturday night loss in Dallas, he saw Martin's mother, Lydia Moore, as a fan was yelling that the Nuggets were "thugs."
"That includes your son," Cuban said to Moore, according to his e-mail to The Post.
Martin's agent, Brian Dyke, had a different take on the incident, The Post reported. According to Dyke, an unprovoked Cuban told Moore, "Your son is a punk."
Neither scenario amused Martin.
"Don't say nothing to my kids or my family," Martin said, according to The Post. "If you got something to say, say it to me. But I'm going to take care of it. I'm not going to do the whole media thing, back and forth. That's his thing. I'm more of a face-to-face type of dude."
"So whenever the opportunity presents itself, then I will address it. But I got a game to go win. At some point I will, but I got a game to go win, first and foremost. So that's my focus and concentration right now."
Asked if he thought the confrontation was Cuban's way of trying to get under the Nuggets' skin, Martin said yes.
"That's what he's trying to do, but it ain't going to work," Martin said, according to the newspaper. "I'm focused on what we need to do as a team. That's what I'm here to do. But if other things present themselves along the way then you got to address them. And this is one of those situations. I don't back away from nobody except the law."
Martin said he had not experienced anything like this during his nine-year career in the NBA.
"Nobody in his position, not at all," Martin said. "But of course, a college game where people in the stands are saying stuff to your family, that's fine and dandy, during the course of the game. But when the game is over, you don't say nothing to nobody's parents; especially mine. My mom or my kids, you don't have no words for them. I'll take care of it."

No way. Cuban is the man. It's awesome to see a guy that lives and dies by the team he owns and doesn't just see them as another means of making money. More power to him for standing behind them. Sports needs more owners like him and not these billionaires that couldn't give two shits.

I like the fact he isn't an absentee owner, but c'mon. Talking trash to a player's mother? That cross the line IMO. I could see him jawing with a player, but not a family member.
-
Cavs playing like caca right now :(
-
Cuban told Martin's mom that Kenyon was a punk. whats the big deal? from early reports the mother was talking trash during the previous games.
Kenyon's stance of trash talking to his mom is over exaggerated. Cuban didnt say anything personal about his mother.
Cuban is reported to have said "that includes your son"

He told his mother that her son was a punk. He didn't say anything to her. Which he is. He was still on the court talking shit after the rest of his team had left.

I guess UConn mirrors itself on the pats system (I could be wrong on that, buts that what I read)....which is obviously going to translate well into the NFL. I'm very high on Butler and Donald Brown. Manning and Brown are going to be a bitch to defend. Polian never misses on first rounders, so you can bank on him being a beast.
In my opinion Butler has the best feet of any db in the draft. The pats know how to pick cb's. I loved the Butler pick and the Chung pick. I liked Beatty, but he was gone when the pats picked near 60.
Aside from KG coming back, I can't see Boston having the bench to go all the way. I think Perks hurt again.

mark cuban is worth 2 Billion dollars
holy shit :o

That photo of Lebron carrying a stick with Varejo's head on it strikes me as odd and kind of creepy......I get the concept of his hair as a broom but still kind of creepy looking....... :-\

Quite the impressive run by the Cavs. Even though their competition hasn't been very good, I will say that great teams perform well regardless of competition. Good wins.

Yeah, Edsall keeps a pretty tight ship. If UConn could get a QB that wasn't awful in every sense of the word then they would have a decent program. As it stands, they can't hang with the big boys because they get out gunned and Donald Brown can only do so much when they're stacking 9 guys in the box.
Butler should be a beast in the Pats system. That guy worked his way into the first round because he wasn't nearly as good a few years ago.
As for Beatty, I don't like his motor. He's got work ethic issues.

holy shit, the lakers are getting every call imaginable. Its really blatant at this point.

I think part of their problem is arrogance. Had the same problem with the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. They know they're most talented than most teams they play and don't play as hard as they should. Kenny Smith made this point last night. I agree with him.

david stern did not make the Rockets shoot 32% from the field and miss almost 24 3 pointers, landry, artest and brooks played like ass, hopefully LA wraps it up in houston and gets a little rest for the Nuggets (maybe)
if you were watching, refs called 2 quick, ticky-tack calls on hayes...the rockets best defensive big. There were bs calls the whole night even when houston was down by 30.
-
yeah fuck all this conspiracy talk. why the fuck would the spurs or even detroit be in the finals in the last decade.
conspiracy theorists make me laugh, the nba's conspiracy was to have detroit and san antonio two defensive minded teams win the majority of the championships in the last 10 years ::) and yet allow the Knicks to be completely awful.

I agree

Artest needs to stop shooting the ball..

lakers better smarten up

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

fyi, those 2 teams won 5 chips in 10 years.
i guess the conspirators didnt want to make it too obvious then huh? ::)
conspirators also wanted unmarketable teams, heaven knows how much of money they made of off Tim Duncan and Rip Hamilton jearseys..
-
Fell asleep again. They better quit cruising if they want to win a championship.
-
Fucken lakers, are you fucken kidding me, no Mcgrady, No yao and still go to a seven game series.
-
This sucks..!!!I really wanted the Cav's to beat the Celtics and the Laker's on there way to win the title.It just wouldn't be as fun to beat the Magic and Nuggets.
-
The NBA is salivating over a potential Lebron/Kobe Finals matchup. That would draw monster TV ratings....
I wouldn't mind seeing a Lebron/Carmelo finals matcuup. The two guys drafted in the same year, back to back, playing for the NBA championship. If Melo takes the Nuggets to the Finals, he would really elevate his status to one of the top five best players in the league. The Lakers will have their hands full with the Nuggets if they beat Houston. Billups is such an outstanding player.
-
the lakers have Fisher and bynum which at this point are pathetic, bynum is a bum.
i actually prefer if houston wins the series, lakers dont deserve it, then again, its at LA so its a blowout.
-
Bynum had zero points. Pathetic.
But keep in mind the Celtics had two seven game series on their way to a championship last year, including their first round series against a sub-500 Hawks team.
-
Houston wont beat the Lakers at home. they whould win by ten at least.
however more people need to be involved other than Kobe, that being said i hope the Lakers lose!

i hated Jordan when he was in his prime, but his last year in Chicago 98' i was amazed at what he could do and accomplished. I always hated the popular teams, like the Cowboys when they were winning all their Championships, along with the Rams and New England and the Shaq and Kobe Lakers, though i liked that Rick Fox and Fisher got rings. i think the over exposure just gets to me.
When Montana was a 49er i hated him, the next season when people said he was washed up in KC i rooted for him.
I have a hard time watching the NBA during the regular season.

I have the same mindset.I guess you have to though if your a Cleveland fan Cav's,browns,Indians love um to death.Even if they were to never win anything.that's something these frontrunner/fair weather fans could never fathom.

I'm watching the lakers vs spurs in game 4 2002 WCSF.
its nice to watch the old games.

how?
i expect nothing but the best from LA from now on, maybe billups can torch fisher, but carmelo is a high schooler against kobe.
-

i expect nothing but the best from LA from now on, maybe billups can torch fisher, but carmelo is a high schooler against kobe.
for starters, it took la 7 games to close out this series against and undersized and overpowered rockets squad. They were scrappy and crafty but were serious not in la's class.
second, gasol is soft. Nene and chris anderson and kmart will make WORK of pau gasol and bynum. Carmelo can put up equal points kobe can, billups will do whatever he wants and jr will rain 3's from 30ft out. Overall I see no way the lakers can win the series, im sure it will be competitive, but i dont see the lakers winning with their non commitment on defense.
I like denvers chances.

good post man.
we can go back and forth but will let this rest.
my stance on it is the lakers will learn there mistakes, if gasol plays like he did tonight and bynum can rebound they wont even need bryant launching 20 footers with 3 defenders on him.

lakers in 5
That's about how I see it. LA matches up very well with Denver. I think they have won something like 11 out of the last 12, including the last 2 or 3 after the Billips trade. LA also beat Denver by a bunch when Denver was on a 10+ game winning streak.
Regarding Cavs v. Magic, I'd give the edge to the Magic. They handled the Cavs this year and I think they have better overall talent.

i think Denver is too physical for LA..i hope. I hope to see an Orlando/Denver finals..just because everyone wants the opposite

Unless they have made leaps and bounds since LA beat them 3 out of 4 this season, and something like 11 out of the last 12, I doubt they out muscle LA. I really don't see Denver as all that physical. Nene maybe? Carmelo is more of a perimeter player. Martin is a fraud.
-
Why is Martin a fraud? He's a pretty productive defensive player and probably the best defender they have down in the blocks.
His red tattoo of women's lips on his neck is pretty cute, though..... ::) What the fuck is that all about? I don't get some of these NBA players and their tattoo's. Do these guys have ANY idea how fucking retarded they look?

He tries to act tough, and will have the occasional emphatic dunk, but did you recall when the Nets played the Spurs in the Finals several years back? Duncan abused Martin so badly I thought Duncan might get arrested. He really does not impress me.

didnt they play early in the season? LA is a finess team filled with passive players aside from Agent 24
Billups,Nene, Martin, Anderson and Carmelo are all physical. Grant Hill was on Mike and Mike this morn talking about how physical and strong Carmelo is. Persoanlly i dont care for Carmelo though.

They played four times this season. LA won three out of four, and something like 10 of the last 11.
The only player I'd call physical on their team is Nene and he's neither bigger nor stronger than Bynum. Billups is a point guard. He's not going to be backing anyone down in the lane, grabbing boards, etc. I doubt he's stronger than Fisher. Martin is phony IMO. He'll have his hands full with Gasol and Gasol will do just fine against him. Carmelo is strong, but he's not really a post player. He's more of a jump shooter. I think Ariza, who is a very good defender, will do okay with him.
And they have no answer for Kobe.
If you think about it, if this team was such a tough match up, they wouldn't be constantly getting drubbed by the Lakers. I know this is the playoffs and you can almost throw regular season records out the window, but that's all we have to go on at this point.

Lol your knowledge of the nba shines once again.
Billups is known for his tendency to post up and is very good at it. Swing and a miss.
Carmelo is not a post player? hes as versatile as they come offensively.
ariza having his way with carmelo? Lol, he could barely contain artest. Funny.
And losing the last 10/11 to la means fuck all. Sure they were swept last year inthe playoffs...newsflash, chauncey billups is their new pg. This is their first trip to the conf finals in 25 years....look who is leading them. It's no fluke.

The board's resident teenager at it again? :) School is in session:
Billips is not a post up player. Like most point guards, he creates shots for his teammates. He's an excellent point guard. A very good distributor. But his name was brought up in the context of him being a "physical" player. That's not how he's going to hurt the Lakers.
No, Carmelo does not live in the paint. As I said, he's more of a jump shooter than a back to the basket player. Yes he has an all around game, but again the issue was whether Denver is more physical than LA. Being “physical” is not how Carmelo is going to help Denver win.
You have a reading comprehension problem. I didn't say Ariza would "have his way" with Carmelo. ::) I said "I think Ariza, who is a very good defender, will do okay with him."
Ariza could barely contain Artest? Good grief. Here is what Artest did in the series:
Game 1: 8-15, 21 points
Game 2: 8-14, 25 points
Game 3: 10-23, 25 points
Game 4: 4-19, 8 points
Game 5: 4-15, 9 points
Game 6: 6-17, 14 points
Game 7: 3-10, 7 points
I'll ask again, don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
I didn't talk about last year's playoffs, which I don't think are relevant. I talked about recent history, including the fact the Lakers beat the current Denver team, with Billips, including ending Denver's double digit winning streak late in the season. Of course you have to look at how the teams have played each other this season to help determine how well they match up against each other.
Class dismissed.
-
I think its going to be a high-scoring, exciting series. I'm looking foward to watching it. Carmelo vs. Kobe.
I think both conference championship series will be hard-fought and fun to watch.

Resident teanager Lol swing and a miss you geriatric nimrod. And i'm not going to read any of that shit because youre nothing more than a casual fan. Once you typed "billups is not a post player" I said, no fuck....he just posts up smaller guards, and is known for doing so.
And thank you for listing artests stats, now you know what hapens when your team loses the best offensive center in the game....your shots become more contested.
I really get a good chuckle when you try to make points like I'm going to take what you say seriously, People on here knowall you do is regurgitate what you hear from espn. You have zero insight...except when it come to defending you lakers.
lakers down 10 in the 1st, peahead

Anyone else think that fate is punishing Kevin Garnett for his actions last year? I mean first the injury, and now the World Champs aren't even playing in the ECF.

Great game. Very impressed by Carmelo. Terrific game by him.
Atheist I think you were right about how physical Denver is. They were pushing LA all over the place. Still, as bad as it looked, LA out rebounded Denver and had more blocked shots. I couldn't believe it when I looked at the stats. It really looked like Denver was punching LA in the mouth all night.
Fisher shut me up. I was complaining about how he couldn't shoot the ball in the ocean, and then he drains the cold blooded threes at the and of the half and end of the game.
Kobe is the man. Had 18 in the fourth. Denver really has no answer for him. Carmelo can't guard him. Kobe really can't guard Carmelo, but he did block his shot in the fourth. I think Kobe is the toughest player in the NBA.
Jerry West keep talking. Brilliant strategy. :)
-
Starting to become a fan of the "Bird man" Chris Andersen out of Blinn College(where the fuck is Blinn College??)
That white boy can play defense! Between his return from suspension and the trade for Billups, that's the reason Denver is no longer a soft defensive team.

i was surprised at how big Carmelo was compared to Kobe. Carmelo impressed me with his play
of all the games for Fish to hit big shots...geez
i knew once LA was within 5 points in the 4th it was LA's game
George Karl got out coached in the 4th.
if there is a gawd, LA will lose.
Kobe is so damn precise with his execution, i hate him.

Kobe hits 2 ft's. game over.

yea after a nine da lay off that will happen to the best of um.I'm one of the few that thought the layoff would hurt them.you can't simulate game intensity in practice.west and Williams shot's weren't falling but that won't happen again.most of the time one of them guys are on and can't miss.He will get the support he needs but it still won't be easy like I said 7 game series here.
-
Another great game. I think Orlando wins this series.
-
Hope so.
But that loss for the Cavs was a huge reality check. They were controlling the game for the entire first half and they let it get away in the end. Look for Lebron to go nuts in game 2.

He went nuts in game 1.

Said the same thing to my friend last night. That guy is going to be out for blood.
-
Cavs Magic was a case of one team getting hot and the other well not. LeBron scored 49 yes but his team was out rebounded, out shot and out scored. Simple really. Is that how the series will continue to go? I doubt it. The rebound battle will likely continue to be won by Orlando should howard stay active because Z isn't going to box him out and for all his energy varijo doesn't have the strength or footwork to consistently keep howard off the glass.
I doubt the magic will shoot that well again though so it's really no biggie for the Cavs. If LBJ can get some help off the bench then he won't need to score 49 again, if he doesn't get the help he needs and howard, lewis and turkolu stay hot it could be a bit soon to crown the "king" so to speak.
-
The Cavs like to play defense. If both teams score in the high 80's, low 90's then the Cavs have the edge. If both teams break 100 points, I think the edge stays with Orlando.
Howard is going to have a big series against the Cavs. He will play circles around Ilgauskas who can't stay with him. Look for Howard to average 25-30 points a game in this series if he stays out of foul trouble.
The x factor is Rashard Lewis who is a really talented player. He jacks a lot of 3's but he needs to get to the foul line more often. He also has a surprisingly good post up game but settles too often for outside shots.

how do you figure?
magic get the win.
are you watching LAL-DEN game 2?
look at the difference in play.
West will win

The Nuggets are in complete control of this series.
Really like Odom and Fisher as guys, but one or both of them will need to be dealt in the off-season.

it will be interesting to see how Orlando responds in game 3. That loss could really sink Orlando for the rest of this series. It's amazing to think Orlando should be up 2-0 going back home in this series. Orlando is playing like they're the better team but that shot by Lebron can completely change this series with a huge momentum shift.
-
What an incredible shot by LeBron. That's how legends are made. One of the best shots I've ever seen. Orlando is the better team and should win the series, but man was that just amazing.
Denver has been playing lights out. Very impressed by them. Carmelo is a stud, but Billips was the difference in game 2 IMO. They couldn't contain him. You suck Joe Dumars! :)

The Black Mamba. :) He's just an assassin. They bottled up Carmelo pretty well. Bynum finally defended the paint when he was in the game.
Anyone see Karl at the press conference? They asked if his team could come back and he hemmed and hawed. Never said "yes." Sounded pretty weak.

Lebron>Kobe all day long..wether on the basketball court or otherwise.Lebron's got charisma,personality to spare.Kobe on the other hand haha.
-
Denver is predictable, isolate carmelo anthony, baseline plays for martin and birdman and 3 point shots, thats all they have, now when melo is off who else can they turn too?? JR smith lol...This last lost could of hurt the nuggets psyche cause the media was all over there nuts after game 2, now its all about kobe and the lakers, the key to the game was denver scored fuck all in the last quarter and kobe and ariza kept hitting there shots and kobe was cool as ice on the line.
Remember this, whenever Kobe is in Colorado he is scoring, no matter what.
-

Ariza did a good job on him in game 3. If Bynum can stay in the game they might be able to keep Carmelo from scoring 30+. But that kid is a handful. Regardless of who wins the series I think he has to be mentioned in the same breath with Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Paul, Duncan, etc.
Great games. The entire playoffs have been pretty entertaining.
-
Lebron>Kobe all day long..wether on the basketball court or otherwise.Lebron's got charisma,personality to spare.Kobe on the other hand haha.
True, i heard kobe is/was a asshole especially before the rape case, he would never sign autographs, apparently he does not sign his lakers 8 jersey when its presented to him, his 24 jersey is the best selling jersey season, not sure if they get a % from it.
Lebron does seem like a better all around dude, but just like kobe his a assasin on the court..Im a fan of both.
-
Denver can still win the next game, but only if LA do not play well, Kobe does his thing, gasol needs more shots, bynum needs to be out of foul trouble and ariza/odom just have to play good and its a wrap.
though LA is LA they only play 4th quarter basketball, so will see.

Yo BB,
i dont think anything the lakers did slowed melo down, he was just cold, i watched the game, he was never under pressure, he just missed and bricked.

Yeah I watched it too. It looked to me like they bothered much more than games 1 and 2. Blocked his shot a couple times. I don't think they can stop him. Just need to make it tough for him.

Not yet. Game 4 is the series.
I was not impressed with either team today. LeBron was 11 for 28, missed 6 FTs, and they were still in the game till the end.
Neither one of these teams are championship caliber teams IMO. The bench for both teams is pretty bad. Can't see either team beating Denver or LA in the Finals.
Anyone else think the officiating just flat out sucks? The last foul on Howard was a horrible call. I've seen those kinds of calls repeatedly in different games.
-
lebron missed 6 ft's but he made 18. If you think 24 ft's in dwade easque or in otherwords pathetic. Watch game 4 and it will blow your mind what the refs will do keep the cavs in the series.

Cavs are so lucky lebron hit that "shot" in game 2, all else it would be 3-0, Cavs are playing like ass lately, or maybe Orlando is better?
Anyhow, Lakers and Nuggets next, I'm hoping for Kobe, Gasol and Ariza/Odom to have the game of there lives, they need to shut denver down and totally destroy any kind of confidence they have...but most likely lakers will falter and get blown out, if Denver stops playing silly this could easily be a 3-0 denver advantage.
But thats denver for you, full of mistakes.

Terrible game by LA. They had it on cruise control the entire game. After watching the first four, I think they will win the series, but man did they stink today. Denver had a lot of help from the refs (another ridiculously officiated game), but they crashed the boards on both ends, hit shots, and were in the paint all game long.
I couldn't believe Phil said after the game that Bynum played a better game. I thought Bynum stunk. Must have given up about 10 dunks and layups.
Jones better get suspended for tripping Kobe. He was already assessed a flagrant 1 for pushing Kobe in the back in game 3.
Smith is a punk.

Cav are on struggle street with Orlando, they are giving lebron jumpers and limiting his drives (good luck)
as for the lakers, denver is all over them, lakers are smarter, but they do have lamar odom, he can win and lose a series for u, he has been irrelevant in this series.
Denver knows they can use there bigs and keeps driving in and out hustle LA, LA's advantage is Kobe Bryant, he can shoot them back into the game at will, and gasol needs more shot attempts, wtf is sasha still in the rotation with his selfish ass.
Lakers are real tired to, kobe has not stopped since the Olympics, and he logs to many minutes.

the nuggets know how to beat the lakers, the lakers are smart enough to keep it within striking distance and force errors, but if Denver just plays the way they are now its going to be over for L.A.
if you forget the hype and just look at the two teams u should agree with me.

Horrible call.
I can't believe they didn't suspend Jones. He called it an instinctive play?? You don't trip someone by “instinct” after getting beat unless you're a dirty player. ::)
NBA upgrades trip to flagrant foul
By Marc Stein
ESPN.com
Denver Nuggets guard Dahntay Jones is on the brink of a one-game suspension after the NBA upgraded his Game 4 trip of Kobe Bryant to a flagrant foul.
The foul -- deemed a flagrant foul 1 by league officials -- is Jones' third flagrant of the postseason and his second in the past two games in the Western Conference finals. That gives Jones three flagrant-foul points in the playoffs, with players receiving an automatic one-game ban when they exceed three points.
The league confirmed Tuesday night that Jones' third-quarter trip -- which was not spotted by the officiating crew -- has been reclassified as a flagrant 1. It also confirmed that Andrew Bynum's fourth-quarter flagrant 1 against Denver's Chris Andersen has been downgraded to a personal foul.
Bryant beat Jones on a backdoor cut to the basket but was sent tumbling when Jones stuck out his right foot. Jones called it an accidental, instinctive move to getting beat on the play. Lakers coach Phil Jackson nonetheless accused Jones of "unacceptable defense, tripping guys and playing unsportsmanlike basketball."
Nuggets coach George Karl told reporters Tuesday: "I'm glad it just was a flagrant and no suspension. I don't think this series is anything but a pretty even NBA playoff series. They're not liking us, we're not liking them and it's not getting any kinder. It's going to be harder, tougher and meaner.
"[But] I don't think the precedent is good. If [referee] Bennett Salvatore saw that play, would he have called a flagrant? I think he would have called a foul, but I don't think he would have called a flagrant. I think the mood of the game is being overridden by the mood of the [league] office. I'm not sure that's the right precedent."
Asked Monday night if he thought Jones' trip was deliberate, Bryant quipped: "I just fell on my face for no reason. I'm a klutz."
There were also four technical fouls in Game 4, with Denver's Carmelo Anthony collecting his fourth T of the postseason and Kenyon Martin and J.R. Smith each picking up No. 3.
Players who reach the five-T barrier in the playoffs receive a warning letter from the league office, with one-game suspensions assessed after the seventh technical and every other one thereafter (ninth, 11th, 13th, etc.).
Martin has actually collected six technical fouls this postseason, but his previous three before Monday night's T were rescinded by the league office. Bryant's tech total is five, with one rescinded by the NBA as well.
After collecting his fifth T in the first game of the Denver series -- with potentially 13 games left in his season at that point -- Bryant vowed: "I won't get another one."
Jackson and the Lakers each received a $25,000 fine Tuesday after his pointed postgame comments Monday about the Game 4 officiating, during which Denver shot 49 free throws to L.A.'s 35. The Lakers had a 45-31 edge in free throw attempts in Game 3.
"Basketball is a game where the aggressor gets the advantage," Jackson said after Denver evened the series at 2-2. "And tonight we didn't know what a foul was and what wasn't a foul. Start of the game, we got guys knocked around going to the basket, they said, 'We're going to let those things go.' By the end of the ballgame, little fouls were being called all over the place."
Jackson is the second coach to attack Jones during these playoffs. New Orleans Hornets coach Byron Scott registered similar complaints during the first round when Jones relentlessly hounded Chris Paul.
"I wouldn't expect them to call me the greatest player in the world," Jones said.
Said Karl: "Everybody knows how we use him. We sic him on the best perimeter guy. That's his job, that's his assignment. A Bruce Bowen mentality and he's done a good job with it. He's done well with it."
Denver's physical nature has been a prominent topic throughout the playoffs, but Jones isn't backing down from his detractors.
"They know there's a presence there and I'm going to play hard and I'm going to scrap and I'm going to try to help my team win, so whatever you want to call it," Jones said. "We call it playing hard."
Karl added: "If I was Kobe I wouldn't want [Jones] to cover me. He's a pain, he's a nag, he's always bothering you. He has a good defensive base, he has a good stance. He's professional. Whatever we want him to do, from fronts to denials, he's willing to do. I think he's doing as good a job as anyone on our team."

-
atleast it was only a flag1. I know some laker fans that are calling for a flag2 which is pathetic, he tripped him..purposely sure but he didnt punch him in the head.
im glad they called it a flag1. Too bad mo williams didnt get "assesed" for a tech for throwing the ball atd12 in game 12. Inconsistancy as usual.

PS.. I guarantee a cavs win...

I study the game alot, outside of lebron...Nothing, seriously lebron needs to do it alone from here on out, I am dead serious, he needs to drive in on every possesion and if he runs into a wall either draw a foul or kick it back out for a restart of the offense with him being the focus.
Lebron can go for 100 points, orlando cannot guard him, if he gets tired then good for the magic, lebron aint winning shit with Mo william and delonte west, i fucken guarantee it.
As for L.A i expect the nuggets and melo to go and shoot the lights out, then again, as reggie miller has said time and time again "I can't trust them"

Dont be a bitch, go back to you're original sig, its not over yet, beleive me, Lebron has to will this team to win himself
-
The Cavs are not a one man team. One man teams don't win 66 games. But his teammates are disapearing down the stretch in every game. Lebron didn't sit the entire second half and overtime which tells me that Mike Brown doesn't have much confidence in his bench players.
It's crazy to think that the Magic should be in the NBA Finals right now with a 4-0 sweep.

66 wins means fuck all without a ring, at this point seems like a wasted effort, they failed.
in the regular season they were hitting 3's and defending, in the postseason there building fucken houses using a spalding ball, mo william was 0-3 from the 3 point line, in a game they really needed to win..
lebron is a motherfucken machine, his defending perimeter players and scoring 40+ i expect at least 60 in the next, i fucken guarantee it, motherfucken guarantee it.

if he has to score 60 points, then the Cavs will definitely lose the next game.

I agree with what most of you guys are saying regarding the cav's.But I don't get the whole series should be over by 4-0 sweep...I mean are you guys saying last second shot's shouldn't count?
-

They Cavs deserved to lose Game 2 and they should have. Hitting a 3 point shot to win a game at the end with 1 second left definitely counts for sure. But how many times is Lebron going to hit that shot in the same situation and with the same amount of time left and a catch and shoot? He didn't do it last night.....
The Cavs are lucky that they haven't been swept 4-0.

This could very easily have been the Cavs series. Not much separating them from Orlando. Orlando needed every single one of those 17 (or whatever) three pointers to win the game.
I know Stern must be worried. A whole lot of people will not be watching a Magic v. Nuggets Finals, if that's the way it turns out, including me.

Stern's wet dream is a Lebron/Kobe NBA finals matchup. Still a possibility but seriously in doubt now.
I wouldn't mind watching Orlando vs. Nuggets in the Finals, though.

Me either. It would be a ratings nightmare for the NBA.

are u kidding? that would be an awesome matchup.

I agree. It would be a very high scoring, entertaining series. I would tune in and i'm not a fan of either team.
it would definitely get chippy between Kenyon Martin and Dwight Howard down low.

i think denver orlando would be an interesting matchup
why does the nba always need big market or the "sexy matchup" for people to watch?
in the nfl you can have jacksonville play green bay for the super bowl and it would still be watched by everybody

Ratings, plain and simple. Lebron versus Kobe is a wet dream for David Stern and the NBA. He got his wish last year with Lakers/Celtics. The NBA has money problems like all major professional sports do these days and good ratings only help their cause.

Not too confident about your team's chances tonight, huh?
If the Cavs don't win this game by at least 10+ points, something's wrong. They are going to be aggressive as hell on the offense end. Don't expect the Cavs to come out jacking 3's early. If they Cavs don't get to the foul line more often then the Magic, then season over and chalk about another disappointing season in Cleveland.

Im already looking forword to our off season
maybe hedo turkeyglue will be a cav next season lol

They Cavs deserved to lose Game 2 and they should have. Hitting a 3 point shot to win a game at the end with 1 second left definitely counts for sure. But how many times is Lebron going to hit that shot in the same situation and with the same amount of time left and a catch and shoot? He didn't do it last night.....
The Cavs are lucky that they haven't been swept 4-0.
sorry bro I just don't subscribe to thinking a team doesn't deserve to win.this is sport's,the team that scores the most points deserve's to win.
-
sorry bro I just don't subscribe to thinking a team doesn't deserve to win.this is sport's,the team that scores the most points deserve's to win.
I hear you. My point is only that the Cavs could've easily been swept by now, if not for the miracle shot in game 2.
-
Was LeBron's shot anymore of a miracle than Turkoglu's shot a second earlier? I don't think the series is over. Every game has been close.
Loved the effort by the Lakers yesterday. That's one of the best games I've seen them play this year. They are much better when Kobe doesn't have to take 25 or 30 shots.
Odom was huge. Showed great heart. After getting his shot blocked three times by the Bird Man, he dunked on him on the second half with an "and 1."
Shannon Brown posterized the Bird Man too.
I hope they close out Denver in game 6. So much for my 5 game series prediction. . . .

Lol did you even watch the game?
denver coltrolled the whole game and bullied la. Denver missed like 12 free throws. When it finally caught up to them it was a tie game...the refs called a cheap ass foul on martin to decide the game. The whole game they let em play rough, then call a stupid "reach" foul on kobe. Kobe hits 2 ft's. game over.
You're money buddy. "Denver will make quick work of L.A." "The Laker's ain't winning it, I guarantee that".

yep i was wrong..but id rather go out on a limb than be a docile SOB who justs co-signs shit like yourself.
by the way, do you make any predictons at all?, no you dont...you just stick your 2cents in when its cute to do so.

Im a lebron fan, but the magic will wrap this up today, it will be a high scoring effort, orlando will need hedo, alston and lewis to hit most of there threes, if not the cavs will take em out in Cleveland.
i expect the cavs to attack the rim more often and try and howard in foul trouble early, when he is out its a different ball club.
orlando needs to go to howard, they cannot guard him.
Lebron will get a triple double again today.
Quickerblade prediction: Orlando win.

Even though you can be a bit of an jerkoff I do agree with you here. Flopping is ridiculous and should be penalized in the NBA. Once that starts there will be a lot of NBA bench players losing their jobs.
-
all that flopping will not help the cavs, they are down and almost out against orlando at halftime, i expect a furious rally by lebron if not a 30 point blowout in imminent

Everytime the Cavs hit a shot, Orlando turns it on and starts to pull away.

34%?? is that for the series or the last game, I'm positive Orlando hit 40%+ of there 3's in this series.
is orlando going to shoot worse?? I dont know
get shut down by lakers?? who knows, all i do know is that cavs lost cause there frontcourt is useless, LA will most likely out play the magic and win.

Man...Lebron sure is showing his true colors. No post game hand shakes or talking to the media?? Big lack of respect there. I'm sure he pissed the media off something awful. He's the guy everyone wants to talk to and he leaves without speaking.
I remember how he was breezing through Atlanta and Detroit and smiling and goofing off and he was having so much fun.
Now??? Not so much.....
yeah, his life could be worse and he has more money than God. But ultimately, winning defines your career. But he's only 24 so he has time to win a title. Not as a Cav, though.......Winning a championship for Cleveland this year would have increased the likelihood he would stay after his contract was up. Now?
See ya in New York!!!

theyre shooting 34% for the playoffs. And orlando's frontcourt particularly whoever is playing the 4 position during the game(hedo or rashard) will cause problems for whomever. Pau is going to have to come out and guard rashard or hedo on the perimeter more often than not.
-
The Orlando Magic will make this a competitve series, if not have a solid chance to win the whole thing. Petrius will be probably guard Kobe most of the time but he needs to stay out of foul trouble. Easier said then done when asked to guard Kobe.
The key is Bynum being able to guard Howard one on one down low so that the Lakers guards can defend the perimeter against the 3's. But Bynum is playing with no heart right now and his confidence is affected.

lol. Dude you crack me up. :D
Van Gundy finally got smart and kept feeding Howard. He should have touched the ball on every possession. The Cavs had no one who could guard him.
Very poor sportsmanship by LeBron. If the Cavs would have won he would have been talking to reporters after the game and assuredly would have sat for his post game press conference. He has some growing up to do.
Can't see Orlando beating LA. Orlando's bench is very weak. LA will have trouble with Howard, but Orlando doesn't really have an answer for Pau and more importantly Kobe.

simmer down man, i couldn give a fuck if he spoke to the media or not, it is big news though.
Im sure he was devastated, he has everything except a ring, he really believed this year was his year.
Remember its Lebron, the media want to chat with him, who gives a fuck what mo williams has to say????
I believe he should of congratulated the Orlando players at the very least
-
lamar odom will make lewis work hard to get a shot off, i look forward to the series.
That depends, will phil start him?
either way when hedo and rashard are both on the floor, one of l.a.'s bigs will have to play the perimeter

No. Odom is coming off the bench.
Lewis will draw Pau away from the basket, but Lewis will have to defend Pau, and Lewis is not a great low post defender. Ariza will probably guard Hedo.

I find it hard to believe odom wont start like he did in houston with the smaller lineup,even with his injury. I dont see him starting bynum+pau...maybe the first game.
IMO only when bynum is on the floor will rashard have to guard pau. Otherwise its gonna be dwight.
I feel comfortable with rashard guarding pau, hes not going to bulldoze his way over rashard.

Bynum started all six games against Denver. He'll start on Thursday and the rest of the series. No way does Phil put Pau on Howard to start the series. Pau will play the 5 quite a bit like he always does, but absent injury Bynum starts.
Pau isn't a physical player and doesn't power through anyone, but he is an excellent low post player. I'll be very surprised if Lewis can handle him. Martin is a much better defender than Lewis and Martin had a hard time with Pau.
-
Bynum started all six games against Denver.
this is true but denvers bigs were not perimeter threats
If phil wants to stress defense he'll start bynum. If he wants a better matchup offensively he'll start odom like he did in houston where the rockets had a bundle of 3pt shooters and their bigs wern't a threat in the post so odom could play the 4. Bynum has been so inconsistent....i don't see him playing more minutes than odom even if he does start.

Lebron is only 24, Jordan got his first ring at 28, Im sure he will atleast win one, he just needs a better frontline, Anderson Varejao and Zydrunas Ilgauskas are fucken pathetic

this is true but denvers bigs were not perimeter threats
If phil wants to stress defense he'll start bynum. If he wants a better matchup offensively he'll start odom like he did in houston where the rockets had a bundle of 3pt shooters and their bigs wern't a threat in the post so odom could play the 4. Bynum has been so inconsistent....i don't see him playing more minutes than odom even if he does start.
Bynum started the first couple games against Houston.
Yes Bynum has been very inconsistent. He has pretty much been a non factor the whole playoffs.
Odom always plays more minutes than Bynum.
-
Bynum started the first couple games against Houston.
this was during pre injured yao, remember? It was safe to start pau at the 5 after yao went down even though scola ended up scortching odom in game 3.

The Yao injury definitely made it easier to start Odom, but that decision had more to do with Bynum playing like crap than anything else.

Just heard LeBron saying he shouldn't have to congratulate someone who just beat him and that it "didn't make sense" to him. Not good.

WOW...That hurt his PR..He needs to set up an interview with mike and mike or another sports talk show and say "My comments reguarding congradulating The orlando magic was purley out of fustration. I would like to congradulate my olympic teamate D. Howard and his team on a great playoff series. Please accept my apology and congrats."
-
I think the whole thing is over blown. he didnt shake hands or talk to the media, ok he should have but come on now. i think its the media coping with Lebron not being in the Finals and them trying to keep his name in circulation until the finals start.
-
i cant believe lebron is 24, he looks so much older.
-
He has always looked like an old man. Greg Oden is the same way. He looks like LeBron's father.

There's a chance jameer will get pt some time this series.

That would be huge for Orlando, if he's 100 percent. Fisher has to be crossing his fingers. :)

Hopefully will be a good series
Wont miss the 1st game

fisher needs to fake an injury, he is beyond pathetic

If he's not 100%, Nelson could hinder the momemtum and flow of the Orlando offense. The Magic got this far without him so unless he's completely healthy, I would keep him in street clothes.

absolutely agree, he hasnt played in a while and will be rusty. Mark Jackson said the same thing about missing that length of time and being effective, said he was in the same situation when he was in NY.

Both Nelson and his teammates think he'll play.

Players: Nelson to play in NBA Finals
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando Magic players say Jameer Nelson will play in the NBA Finals, even though the All-Star point guard and his coach remain publicly pessimistic.
Nelson participated in a full team practice Tuesday for the first time since tearing the labrum in his right shoulder Feb. 2. While Nelson and coach Stan Van Gundy still said the point guard's status won't be determined until game day, players said Nelson looked "terrific" and expect him to be on the court against the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I expect to see him out there at some point in the series," backup point guard Anthony Johnson said.
Nelson had what was then called season-ending surgery Feb. 19. Nelson's rehabilitation was supposed to take at least another two months.
Game 1 of the Finals is Thursday night in Los Angeles, and healed or not, Nelson wants to play.
"I'm not saying I'm any tougher or stronger than anybody, but I've been known to do some amazing things sometimes," Nelson said Tuesday, again lobbying for playing time.
Magic general manager Otis Smith had repeatedly said Nelson will not play again this season. But he recanted his comments Monday and said a quicker recovery and the chance of winning a championship has forced him to at least take a look at Nelson
"It's still no in my mind," Smith said. "There's a very smidgen of a chance he can play."
That "smidgen" seems to be growing.
Nelson has been playing full-court games and practicing in non-contact drills for the last two weeks. Tuesday, he participated in every drill.
Players said Nelson wasn't in his All-Star form, but even not completely healthy, he was better than most NBA point guards.
"He was terrific," Magic forward Mickael Pietrus said. "Hopefully, he will play and can help us win."
Starting point guard Rafer Alston expressed similar optimism.
"I was going to try to run him ragged out there, but I didn't want to cross him over," Alston said. "He did cross me over a couple times."
Orlando was 2-0 against the Lakers this season. Nelson was Orlando's leading scorer in both those games, averaging 27.5 points. He has been trying to convince the Magic for a chance at playing since the playoffs began, with each round the team advances the idea -- and the talk -- of him returning growing.
"I'm a competitor. I want to play," Nelson said Tuesday.
The Magic's title hopes took a major hit after he was injured. A trade-deadline deal that brought Alston from the Houston Rockets largely saved the Magic's season, allowing the rotation to remain the same and Johnson to continue to provide solid play as Alston's backup.
The Magic are hoping Nelson can only add to that success.
Van Gundy, perhaps trying to keep his coaching strategy a secret, again expressed doubt Tuesday whether Nelson could seriously return for the Finals. But he also said that even if Nelson doesn't play in Game 1, he could play later in the series.
"He was OK," Van Gundy said, shrugging his shoulders. "We'll have to wait until and see."

-
hopefully he plays and plays well!
-
Or not. :D He'll definitely help, but I think LA wins the series with or without him.
-
Alston is playing great in the playoffs on both sides of the floor. He should log the bulk of the minutes at PG.
Nelson is going to screw up the Magic's flow on offense. You have to respect his competitiveness but he might be hurting his team rather than helping. But I'm pulling for the guy because I want to see the Magic win.
-
HAHAH I love the Orlando optimisim here, with or without jameer its all over, lakers are to tall, hedo will struggle to get his shot off against kobe or lamar, howard is foul prone also, expect kobe and gasol to attack him.

Ariza will guard Hedo. He did a good job against Artest and Carmelo.
Didn't Howard foul out of about three games against the Cavs?
No answer for Kobe. Kobe and the bench are the two biggest problems for Orlando.
Did you hear the league didn't fine LeBron for skipping the mandatory press conference?

Tell me about it. He probably would have been suspended. Terrible precedent they're setting. Clearly superstar treatment.

Here is what Stern had to say:
Stern withholding judgment on snub
ESPN.com news services
NBA commissioner David Stern says he has reached out to LeBron James about James' refusal to speak with the media after the Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the Eastern Conference finals.
But Stern is withholding judgment and not ready to makes his views on the incident public until he talks to James about what happened, he said Tuesday on ESPN Radio.
In an appearance on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," Stern acknowledged he was not pleased that James, the league's reigning MVP, didn't meet with the media, or shake hands with the Orlando Magic, following the Game 6 loss Saturday night.
Noting that in the recent past, other players and teams have been fined for failing to meet the league's media guidelines, Cowherd asked why James had not been fined.
"I'm in the process of making a phone call or two now to talk to LeBron ... so I don't want to speak to that at this moment," Stern said.
"So you're not happy?" Cowherd asked.
"I think that's fair to say," Stern replied.
When further asked about James' storming off the court without postgame handshakes with the Magic -- and whether one action was more troubling than the other -- Stern said both were important. "One goes to rules, another goes to values," he said. "I think both of them should be followed."
"Everything's big when you follow the NBA, so I'm going to step back and ask not to be pushed too hard right now [on the incident]," Stern added. "I've got a few irons in the fire."
On Monday, NBA spokesman Tim Frank told 1050 ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand that James would not be fined, adding, "We haven't had any issues with him before at all."
Stern was also asked about the NBA's 19-year-old age limit for rookies, with recent allegations involving NBA Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose's one college season at Memphis raising questions about whether talented high school stars should play a year in college before entering the NBA. Rose has been connected in media reports to NCAA allegations that a player on Memphis' 2007-08 Final Four team had a stand-in take his SAT. (Memphis said Tuesday that it was unable to find proof that a former player had cheated on the SAT.)
Stern pointed out that the NBA does not require that young players spend a year at college, noting they're free to play in Europe, the NBA Development League or in junior college. That, he said, gives them a year to play against tougher competition -- and better informs the teams that might draft them.
And despite the success of some players who successfully leapt from high school to the NBA, "there's a long list that I won't mention who didn't make it," Stern said. "The idea that allegations of wrongdoing suddenly get put back on the fact that like all employers we set entry-level requirements ... doesn't make any sense to me."
Stern also offered cautious optimism for the league's long-term economic outlook, saying he expects decreases in revenue next season despite recent record TV ratings for the playoffs. "Our business is affected by the economic downturn but not as badly as some others," he said. "It won't be cataclysmic but it will be noticeable."

The prez says LA:
Obama's NBA prediction
Posted: 08:49 PM ET
From CNN White House Producer Xuan Thai
(CNN) – As he departed the White House Tuesday evening for his five day trip to the Middle East and Europe, President Barack Obama made a quick prediction:
“Lakers in six, I think," the president said when asked by a reporter for Bloomberg News who he thought would prevail in the NBA finals — beginning Thursday and pitting the Los Angeles Lakers against the Orlando Magic.
Fans of both teams can take heart. The president correctly predicted the NCAA Basketball champion in March (The University of North Carolina), but falsely predicted the Lakers would win the NBA finals last year, also in six games. (Instead, it was the Boston Celtics who won in six.)

I'm pulling for the Magic but I starting to think Kobe and the Lakers win this easy.
The black mamba is not fucking around this year, it looks.
-
I think The Black Mamba will dunk on Dwight Howard at least once.
Also think Howard will foul out of at least one game this series.
-
at least two games. :D
-
at least two games. :D
Only if the series goes six or seven. :)
-
jameer has officially been activated, i doubt he see's minutes in the first couple games.

jameer with 4 points and 2 assists in like 2 minutes.

Magic shooting a horrible % ....
dont think they can keep up, this series may be a quick one.
cant get shots off as eaily as they did against Cleveland, Lakers are a lot longer.
Pietrus is goose eggs
Magic need to be able to take 3 games at home to win the series, the 2-3-2 schedule doesnt fall into their favor

I tend to agree with you. But it's only game 1.

atleast you realise i root for the under dog. Except when my teams are playing.
point taken, i also usually take the dogs which is why i suck at predictions.
too many Laker front runners. this series may already be over...
-
I tend to agree with you. But it's only game 1.
yes but the way they got handled tonight..hope is slim.
most irritating of all, i have a friend who is a front runner of a Laker fan who is ecstatic now. he became a Laker/Kobe fan a few years ago..he also like USC and the Yankees..go figure..
-
holy crap, orlando shot 29.9% LOL
2nd fewest fg made in finals history.
They can't play worse than they did.
-
shows how awful cleveland was..
man the east is weak
-
the east has like 2-3 elite teams every year compared to 6-7 very good teams and 1-2 elite. The east also has more expansion teams.
still waiting for the hornets to rejoin the eastern conf. No idea why they're in the west. That would shit the balance a little more.
-
this is why I said earlier the West will take it.
-
Nice win. No dunks for Howard. :o His offensive game is really limited. If he catches the ball more than five feet away from the basket, he's pretty useless (although he does pass out of the paint pretty well to open men).
For all the talk about how soft Gasol is, he did a pretty good job defending Howard.
The Black Mamba was incredible. Not just the 40 points, but 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, including blocking Howard's shot.
That said, I'm hoping Kobe was just trying to set the tone for the series and will not be taking 30 shots a game. I think the Lakers are a better team when other guys step up and make shots.
I think Kobe will probably have more than 10 assists on Sunday if the Magic start to double him.

:D

Lakers in 6
let me change that to Lakers in 4 ha!

the refs are definitly trying to reach their quota tonight. Game has been pathetic.

blah blah refs blah blah, whatever, Lakers 2-0.
the refs did not make stan van gundy use slow ass hedo to run the point guard, the refs did not call a foul on hedo's block on kobe, if that was lebron it would of been a flagrant.
the refs do not make the lakers play with more energy or give orlando no energy.

..your shit is getting tired.
Did you even watch the game? No, you didn't. The 1st quarter score of 15-15 was the lowest in the history of the finals. Reason is because there were an ungodlike amount of whistles being blown.
And by the way smartass, my comment was before the quarter ended and OBVIOUSLY before the game was over.
damn youre witty.

I think Orlando could get one at home, but I'll be surprised if it comes back to LA. I did think LA would win in six or less, but if they keep playing the way they have it will be "less."

i would hope that cities that pull crowds and have history in the NBA would have the majority of the All Star Weekends, makes better business sense. David Stern is promoting a product, I would do the same. who wants to see All Star Weekend in Milwaukee.

No shit. The NBA is a business and they want to make money. L.A is the largest basketball market in the country, the weather is good and there are stars all over the place. It makes perfect sense why Stern would make the switch. Ex: No one gives a shit about Orlando, nevermind a all star game in Orlando.
Let me guess, you want some of the small market clubs to have a shot? Not only would that be a terrible business decision, it would undermine the concept of the all all star game (it's a spectacle).
Ps, save the rhetorical bullshit. The first part is not rhetorical. We know what you're saying....it's not to hard to read between the lines, "chief".
Btw, I think your bfury.

Let's see, other than L.A being a far bigger media/basketball market (the second largest media market in the United States), having far better access to celebrities and production and also having the ability to house the actual allstar game in one of the most historic and recognized basketball venues in the world, nothing ::)
yea as a fan id love to see more cities host all star weekend, please just shut the fuck up. How did you become a mod here again?
Who gives a shit what you want? The NBA places their allstar game in the market that gives them the best chance to generate revenue. Let's see, would L.A fit that bill? Second largest media market in America? Check. Largest basketball market in America? Check. Stars celebs and location? Check. God you're a fucking moron. You make it seem like there is some sort of L.A bias....when the fact is that the "bias" = L.A being the perfect market for a NBA allstar game.

....Theres a difference between stating the obvious while in a dialogue to sound intelligent...versus doing a play by play of a live game.
by the way..your ad hominems are....sad.
But for someone as docile as you are it is to be expected.

to help prove yourself wrong yet again; stating the obvious is subjective, assuming we needed your play by play or got any value from it undermines your action because we in fact did not need it nor did we get any value from it, therefore you were in deed stating the obvious to us. i just explained how you were stating the obvious in simple english.
now perhaps you can explain how i stated the obvious by providing facts coupled with logic like i have above.
I provided ample reasoning as to why the ASW is in LA to contradict your assumption and undertone of the situation.
it is apparent that you are unable to hold a dialog w/o relegating to 4th grade insults and your critical thinking skills are just as juvenile. this greatly reduces the value of your relevancy here and actually burdens you with having to provide even more support for you opinionated posts to be taken seriously.
needing to depend on circular reasoning makes it obvious you are not accustom to a logical debate.
thats why we appreciate you here though, you keep the intelligence factor here heavily curved.
you may continue..tappity..tap.. tappity..tap

I appreciate your long winded attempt to sound intelligent, but you fell short in doing so. I indeed stated the obvious, but in a rhetorical sense, while you stated the obvious in the context of enlightenment. Do you see the distinction between the two? Good.
now, do you realise your attempt at enlightenment was a failure? I'm sure you realised this by now, hence the futile attempt to save face with that novel that you wrote up there.
-
Good game. I like the fact Orlando had the best shooting game in NBA Finals history and still only won by four. I like LA's chances in game four.
The Black Mamba is mortal. Huge misses at the FT line. His play in the first quarter was off the charts, but he was pretty average after that.
Gasol is playing like an MVP.
I am going to stop criticizing NBA players as much as I used to. Always thought they were the biggest cry babies in sports (no one ever commits a foul). But man the officials just flat out stink. Terrible calls all around throughout the entire playoffs. Three guys and they still can't get it right. I want to see refs take the podium after games just like the coaches and players and answer questions.
And no, the refs are not the reason Orlando won game three.

That was tough to watch as a Laker fan.
They had 0 FT in the 4th ... WTF. Nice they are up 3-1 !

If I had a Pennie for every time a laker fan has dogged and bitched about Derrick phisher in this thread I'd be a rich man.now they will be praising him again in typical fair weather fashion.....PS Gasol is one ugly SOB.

howard -_-
had 2 ft's. Only needed one to ice the game. Missed both.
Great game though.

Bryant Gets Plenty of Help
Saturday, June 13, 2009
ORLANDO, June 12 -- These NBA Finals have been all about Kobe Bryant, his facial expressions, his flaring nostrils and his scowl, which seems to be the permanent work of a plastic surgeon. His smiles are charted like an extra stat on the box score. Was that a laugh? Wait, that might have been a grin.
Bryant's glare of determination serves a purpose while coming across as somewhat scripted, but it also overlooks how the Los Angeles Lakers have a 3-1 lead over the Orlando Magic, how they are on the cusp of a 15th championship, and how Bryant is one win from his fourth title because his teammates are bailing out him, not the other way around.
The Lakers were able to come back from a 12-point halftime deficit to pull out a 99-91 overtime victory because forward Trevor Ariza, the player Orlando dumped on the Lakers last season because he supposedly couldn't shoot, scored 14 of his 16 points and made two three-pointers in the third quarter. They forced overtime and went ahead for good because Derek Fisher, who has been criticized for being too old and too inaccurate on his jumper this postseason, forgot that he missed his first five three-point attempts and made his last two. And they defeated the Magic because Spanish forward Pau Gasol, who has brushed off his soft label like lint on his sport coat this series, had two emphatic dunks and some choice words -- in his second language -- for Orlando's Mickael Pietrus in overtime.
"None of us can continue at times to just expect that Kobe is going to save us," Fisher said. "We all have to be willing to take blame, responsibility and accountability, when things go well, as well as [when things go] bad."
Lost in the spectacle of Fisher's two big three-pointers and Dwight Howard's huge missed free throws, was that since erupting for 40 points in the Lakers' Game 1 blowout, Bryant had his third straight forgettable fourth quarter in this series. Bryant missed six of eight attempts and had a turnover in the fourth period. His greatest contribution in the final seconds of regulation was attracting the attention of the Magic defense, so that Fisher could have ample space to dribble up the floor and fire the game-tying three to force overtime.
Bryant made two jumpers to start overtime, but also hit Fisher -- after he accidentally clocked Magic point guard Jameer Nelson in the face with an elbow -- at the top of the key for the three-pointer that put the Lakers up for good.
"He just has supreme confidence," Bryant said of Fisher. "And I think those shots at the end of the game are actually easier for him than the other ones."
Bryant may be gunning for his first title without Shaquille O'Neal, but he has never won one without Fisher, either. Fisher won three championships before signing as a free agent with Golden State in 2004. He spent two years with the Warriors and one in Utah before returning to the Lakers to find the best treatment after a rare form of eye cancer was diagnosed in his young daughter. Since returning to the Lakers in the summer of 2007, he has given Bryant a sounding board, a like-minded competitor and a complementary locker room leader.
"They've definitely been together for a long time," Ariza said. "They came in together, so they definitely have a good bond, and they show us how to do things."
Earlier this season, Bryant joked that his leadership was more similar to the confrontational style of Malcolm X, while Fisher took the more measured approach of President Obama. Immediately after the Game 4 win, Fisher didn't allow his teammates to forget that they still need one more win. He and Lakers Coach Phil Jackson reminded them of 2000 NBA Finals, when the Lakers held off Indiana in overtime in Game 4, then went out and lost the next game by 33 points before closing out the series in six games.
"We still know we have work to do," Fisher said.
Ariza didn't have significant postseason experience entering the postseason, but the fifth-year player has always had a sense for the moment, whether it was getting two steals in two wins in the final seconds against Denver in the conference finals, or on Thursday, when he got the Lakers off and running early in the third quarter with a steal and a dunk. "When I'm aggressive early, it kind of gets our team going," Ariza said.
And for the second time this series, Gasol was the player who slammed the door shut on Orlando. He scored seven points in the final six minutes of the game, finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds in 49 minutes. He also absorbed a closed-fisted shove in the back from Pietrus, then dunked and barked in Pietrus's face afterward.
"I said a couple things that I can't repeat on camera," Gasol said. "I said it in English so I made sure he understood it; if I had known it in French, I would have said it in French."
Whether it's in Spanish, French or English, the only phrase that Bryant and the Lakers are focused on now is winning that ring. Bryant is averaging a series-best 33 points. But he is also shooting just 42.9 percent. If he continues to shoot poorly, and his team continues to win, Bryant will take it -- by any means necessary. "It's playing with that passion all year," Bryant said. "Having that goal in mind, and just trying to stay the course. That's what makes champions."

This is dumb. You stick a microphone in a coach's face in the middle of a hotly contested game and them fine him because he didn't have the restraint not to criticize the officials? ::)
Jackson fined for Game 4 comments
ESPN.com news services
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The NBA has fined Lakers coach Phil Jackson $25,000 for criticizing the officials during Game 4 of the Finals.
The league also penalized the Lakers $25,000 on Saturday for Jackson's comments, which came during an interview with ABC between the first and second quarters of their 99-91 overtime victory Thursday.
Jackson said there were some "bogus" calls after the Lakers' Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum each picked up two fouls in the first quarter.
Game 5 of the NBA Finals is at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC.

Kobe with four blocks. That guy is incredible.
Great season. One of the most entertaining playoffs I've watched.

And . . . did you see how Howard didn't score when guarded by Pau Ga-strong? Whaaat. The "soft" label is out the window.

congrats you laker fans...i still hate them though ;D

thats cause Howard has no post moves at all. Howard needs to work on his legs in the off seasonso he doesnt get pushed out of the box so easily, Pat Ewing was one of the best jump shooting centers ever, cant he pass something along?

Not really. Only in game 5. He was pretty good, limitations and all, in pretty much every other game. He was an absolute beast in game 4, with 16 points, 21 rebounds, and 9 blocks.

didnt the Magic just renew Ewing's contract?
