Rajon out indefinitely. Interesting. I still think they can beat the Celtics in 5, but Washington looks daunting now.

The first 22 minutes of the 2nd half, the Pacers scored a grand total of 30 points. 30 freakin points! There was a stretch early in the 4Q I believe (might have been late in the 3rd, idk) where they just let Lebron drive straight to the hoop on 5 straight possessions.

I text one of my friends last night at half time "Pacers up by 25 at the half. Watch em lose by 12."

Bunch of fuckin bums. Fuck Lebron.

G.O.A.T..
or 1A.... enjoy the time watching him. There's only a few years left.

Agreed.
@HesCalledDyer Kobe was never this exciting, Magic, Bird and Jordan were. You should be relishing this. Oh and I wonder if this pisses off George to confront Bird about getting more talent on the team?

Washington found themselves for one game, let's not get crazy.

I know he's very talented (not the greatest of all-time however) but I don't like him. I'll be glad when he retires.

Jordan's the greatest (couldn't stand him either). Top 5, heck I don't know. I can't even rank Pearl Jam albums. But since I'm on the spot, no particular order, first 5 names that come to mind: Jordan, Russell, Magic, Lebron, Duncan? But hard to leave out Bird, Kareem, Shaq, Wilt, Kobe, Hakeem, & Robertson. Personal favorite all-time player is Reggie followed by Bird, Dirk, The Admiral, & Grandma-ma.

I agree about Jordan. Lebron is quickly becoming a front runner for me.

Larry Johnson huh? Loved him on UNLV teams. He and Stacy Augmon with Hunt shooting 3's! Now that's old school!

.

Only problem is the only significant way Bird can acquire any decent talent (or very high draft picks) would be to trade George.
Catch 22 (or would it be a Catch 33 in this case?)

I love sports in general and don't have a Fav so to speak in college hoops. I rooted for UNLV, Duke, NC, St Joes, and Georgetown when Zo, Motumbo and Iverson were on their respected teams.

Loved Big country, Tractor Trailer, Chris Jackson(Abdul-Rahouf) and every other high profile rookie the last 15 years!

Ostertag. Only reason I remember that is when Shaq got in the twitter battle with Jim Rome after Rome said he had no legacy.
"If he doesn't want to get Ostertagged, he better watch it!"

Lived in vegas at that time. It was nuts. 1987 team was pretty good, too. Now, they're such shit they can't even attract a coach.

I loved barry bonds and he should have been "relished" but I understand why he wasn't. the best players are the most hated.

Bonds was an absolute TREASURE to watch play. I tell people that he is hands down, without a doubt the best ball player I've ever seen play. He single handedly almost beat the Angels in the world series... And I'm an Angels fan.

Hey e'rybody! Thanks for the discussion on here. I truly am enjoying it.

Without Rondo the Bulls fell apart tonight!
