    rajon rondo is taking over this series ... C's are making cavs a jump shooting team which they cleary are not ...

    go suns!

    Doc Rivers and Co. really capitalized last night on LeBron having an off night. Made me so happy to not see LeBron taking over. Although I found it funny how the commentators kept reminding the viewers every 10 seconds how LeBron has yet to score. :roll:

    Piss on the Cavs, hoping the Celtics can put the stake through their heart once again on Thursday.

    Would love, love, love to see a Suns / Celtics finals.

    I would like to see the Lakers and Celtics at the Finals....GO LAKERS!

    That would no doubt be a good series. I thought that at the beginning of the playoffs. Let's start the 80's all over again and have Boston and LA play each other like every year, haha.

    BEAT LA!!!

    Hoping to see LeBron leave the court pouting again tonight like last year with their loss to Ron Jeremy-look-alike and Co.






    The Magic, in other words. :)

    Someone agree...Stan Van Gundy totally looks like a more cleaned up Ron Jeremy.

    Full disclosure, I'm not a huge basketball follower, I mean, I know the names and teams but it's my #4 sport of the major 4.

    But, I did watch tonight's C's v Cavs game ... holy shit, is it me with their playoff life hanging in the balance, did the Cavs give up with 3 minutes left and down by 9 or so? Completely letting the Celtics run the full 24 off the clock, taking their time up the floor.

    What a gag job.

    let the lebron watch begin

    shaq needs to retire... or go play nose tackle in the nfl. dude is a blimp of his former self.

    boston has a lot of talented players...cleveland not so much.

    i wouldn't complain if James came to chicago. :mrgreen:


    is Reggie Miller the worst commentator or is it just me.

    wow ... they were defeated before they stepped on the floor ... cleveland should have won but they were outcoached ... mike brown's offensive sets are too easily defended ... they will give lebron 35 a game as long as no one else steps up ...

    antawn jamison was throwing up some huge bricks in the second half ...

    and people in my fantasy league laughed when i drafted rondo early and made him my captain ... well a league title later and watching him basically take over games in the second half is pretty sweet to watch ...

    I see Rondo developing into even more of an elite player in years to come. Now if he could only get his free-throw shooting down. :shock:

    With the right signings, trades, and moves made...if James came to Chicago, I think you'd have a great chance at being a top contender once again.

    The first step was sending Del Negro on his way -- that just wasn't working out.

    :lol: ... yeah ... he killed me in the FT% cat a few times this year ... but he's got a decent jump shot that he's getting more confident with and that should translate into more FTs being made ...

    He's also got that floater that he's getting down quite well. I swear that thing could get over even the hands of Shawn Bradley (if he still played.. ;) )

    all they would need is James...and a few 3 point shooters. a bigger 2 guard would be nice, but not a requirement.

    i was on the fire Del Negro bandwagon early in the season, but at the end, with what he had to work with (trading 2 of his top 8 players for chumps) and all the injuries, i thought he did a nice job. I would have let him coach out his contract.

    Considering that I don't follow the Bulls at all, I'm sure you're knowledge is more solid and supportive. I'll take your word that Del Negro did the best he could with what he was dealt. Too bad he went out on a bad note though with the management?

    I'm a Celtics fan for sure, but in the West my team has been Phoenix, and Utah for a while now. Since Utah took a flop as usual, I've got a lot of love for the Suns and hope that they can make us all happy and kick the Lakers to the curb.

    I'm rooting for the Suns as well in the west. (overall go C's though) But it makes me wonder what a successful run in the playoffs will do to Amares chances of staying around? I'd like to see him move, but now I don't think he has as much reason to. I like all the hype of the offseason moves and what not.

    amare is overrated ... his post moves are average at best ... he scores a lot of easy baskets off the pick n roll with nash who executes it to perfection ... both him and bosh are not guys who are gonna win championships on their own without a partner in crime ... i suppose everyone needs a wingman ... but neither bosh or amare are the main guys ...

    Steve Nash could get anyone to score off his pick n' roll. Like you said, he executes it to perfection.

    I completely agree (but I think Bosh is more overrated than Amare. Hell, I would have looked good playing for the Raptors.)

    Kinda reminded me of Nick Andersen circa 1995 Finals. Can't hit a free throw when you need it.

    Finally someone who thinks Bosh is Overrated. I live in Toronto and the way that the media talks about him you would think he has made it past a 1st round. he is a decent player but no where near what people say about him.

    i live in toronto too and if you read the comments on the star ... most people feel that way ... there isn't a huge campaign like there is in cleveland for bosh to stay here ... he's not gonna be the guy to take us to the promise land ...

    what we need is a point guard ...
