Out of all the C's players this season, I've been very disappointed with Allen, especially with his shooting. He's had nights where he looked like a sharpshooter but more nights where he's just awful. At least with KG/PP, he have a bit of defensive effort to work with when their shooting is off.

whoa whoa whoa there. i wouldnt go and say they shut lebron down. he couldnt buy a basket tonight and i wouldnt credit that entirely to the celts defense. i mean, lebron was had one of his worst games ever and they only lost by 4. could you imagine what would have happened if he showed up tonight? the celts would have got spanked.

well another "GREAT NIGHT" for Lebron

I guess Shutting down could be the wrong phrase for game 1
But last night.. How can you have that bad of a night twice?!?!
Pierce and Allan atleast came back for game 2

I honestly think the series is OVER, Cleveland is NOT Atlanta, where they had alot of players who are willing to drive at the rim, Bibby, Smith, Childress, and of course Johnson- who was lights out in a couple of games in the ATL.

Cleveland rely mostly everything on LeBron and as long as the C's can keep him in check like they have in Boston, then Cavs are done.

The Celtcs won their first two games over Atlanta by an average of 20 points and then look what happened. They have beat the Cavs by an average of only 10 points. It isn't neccesarily over, but the Cavs will be hard pressed to make this a respectable series...

cant' stop the C's baby - they are back to hang another banner !

Spurs. Now that everyone's had a chance to heal, Timmy is back on form, I think we have a chance to turn this series around.
But, I must say that the Hornuts at home were the first team since the old Lakers to get in the Spurs' heads. They LOOKED defeated the first two games. Granted, I think they just know when they don't have it and face it, shots just weren't falling for them.
Chris Paul is fucking a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! I knew he was good, but he is making the Spurs look foolish, carving them up like a Holiday turkey. They have looked a step, sometimes two behind his penetration so far.

At times this season, the Spurs have reminded me of Michael's Bulls. THey would dick with teams the first three quarters, then turn the key and obliterate you, exposing your weaknesses to step on your throat. Don't misunderstand, Mike was Mike and none of the Spurs have THAT. But collectively, Manu (sooooo good), Parker, and Timmy have something similar.
I still believe. Go Spurs Go!!

pistons advances to the eastern conference finals for the 6th straight year. let's see how the cavs, or especially celtics (should they advance) fair against the team to beat in the east, IMO.

Only suprised at the road record. I saw a sign at the end of game 4 that made me laugh, and it said "Where 0-5 Happens". That was pretty good.

uh oh...horry's at it again. did he injure david west? correct me if im wrong...

flashback: 2007 playoffs, he fouled steve nash hard which led to the unfair suspensions on stoudemire, etc which turned the series around.

I've said all year that the Lakers won't get out of the West Finals. I've also said i think it'll be Spurs/Celtics.

I want the Lakers to get through and hopefully play Boston, just because, but i do think the Spurs will come out of the west.

Spurs are boring to alot of people because you dont hear about them beating up their girlfriends, shooting "fools" at the tittyclub. Ginobli and Parker can pretty much do whatever they want, some nights they have off nights like others. I'm a Knicks fan(no need to make fun of me all at the same time)but I've grown to respect the Spurs, cause they are a real, dare I say TEAM, In every sense of the word.Always lookin for the open man.On the otherhand I read tons of Laker Posts.I cant deny this franchise, some of the greatest players,teams,and coaches in NBA history.

Kobe is a phony piece of shit.Aw all lovey dovey with his teamates, before the season he did everything to throw others under the bus.I dont need to get into all Kobe's discretions over the years but this guy is such a tool.He is a great player, but there are other greats in the league you can appreciate like CP3, King James, Wade etc. I mean did you see his press conference when he won MVP, his laughter is sooo fake.

celtics advance. they're really struggling in this years playoffs. let's see what they do vs the pistons.
