^^ haha

its just interesting that you made that post 48 hours after one of the best performances of the playoffs.

Marion always struggles offensively in the playoffs because they force him to play out of position on defense every series... what other player has to guard Lamar Odom in the first round, Sam Cassell in the 2nd, and Tim Duncan/Dirk Nowitzki (if they advance) in the third?


Nash is certainly proving in this series why his MVP is a joke. You can't be the MVP if you give up just as many points as you create... it makes no sense. He's exciting and incredible but he's just not anywhere near MVP level.


By the way Im going with ANOTHER underdog tonight and taking the Spurs moneyline. But I'm sure thats not a tough call either!

Dear Rasheed,

Next time you make a guarantee, back it up on the basketball court.

Signed,

Lebron

I don't think it's a tough call to say they'll win...but I don't know what the money line is.

5/15/2006 10:19:06 PM

Stackhouse and Sheed both looking like dopes in a matter of days

UNC draft class of '95 represent!

5/15/2006 10:44:36 PM

Does anyone know what the fuck is wrong with the left side of Ernie Johnson's face/neck.?

(he's the host of Inside the NBA w/barkley and k. smith)

5/15/2006 10:55:13 PM

it looks 10 times worse in high def

I think he has hodgins or something, some kind of lymphoma that makes his glands swell up

5/15/2006 11:37:29 PM

whatever it is, shit is nasty

almost as bad as Frank Beamer's nasty ass face/neck

5/15/2006 11:58:04 PM

MY HEART CANT TAKE THIS SHIT

5/16/2006 12:40:22 AM

5/16/2006 12:59:27 AM

suns/clippers should be fun tonight

5/16/2006 2:40:32 PM

My Heat bout to close em out tonight.

Go Diesel.

5/16/2006 8:02:13 PM

haha, suck it vince carter

5/16/2006 10:44:05 PM

tho i wanted the heat to take the series, a NJ win woulda been nice to extend my daily basketball watching routine

det will win the next 2, assuming rasheed is healthy enough to play

i hope this suns clips series goes until 7

5/17/2006 12:16:05 AM

Holy shit Elton Brand just thugged up the end of the Suns game.

First he blocked the shit out of Jumaine Jones in a moving screen to free up Cassell. (should have been a foul)

Then he hit Marion from behind to send him sprawling. (should have been a technical)

5/17/2006 1:22:18 AM

holy shit

double over time

5/17/2006 1:43:45 AM

fuck, man!


this shit has me all on edge

5/17/2006 1:47:14 AM

^^^a flagrant not a technical, and it was too close to call
and thugged up? do you consider michael jordan "thug"?




but anyway, i came here to say they should only give 1 TO per team per OT period

this shit is ridiculous

5/17/2006 2:06:30 AM

the defining image of this game

5/17/2006 2:09:04 AM

^^not to mention jumaine jones plays for the bobcats.

5/17/2006 2:53:30 AM

this games are insane. and i never knew the studio guys were so amusing. can't wait to see kobe on there tomorrow. hopefully they talk about raja bell.

5/17/2006 3:04:33 AM

nba sure ain't college.....but you have to admit, its entertaining; just no passion

5/17/2006 3:15:28 AM

Thank you Marion. Let's keep it up.

What a game.

5/17/2006 7:31:32 AM

no passion???

wow

moron's abound in this thread



and yea i completely missed "jumaine" i was tired b/c of all the damn timeouts so my bad.

5/17/2006 10:52:23 AM

gg Cavs. Lebron tearing it up. Sheed playin like shit since he made those comments. Good series.

5/17/2006 8:46:26 PM

GG Da' Sheed.

Lost your cool again, and will miss the 4th quarter of game 5.

[Edited on May 17, 2006 at 9:16 PM. Reason : good riddance]

5/17/2006 9:13:42 PM

that was a terrible call.

Its not a charge if a guy jumps in front of you AFTER you pass the ball.

5/17/2006 9:21:14 PM

yes it is...hence a charge being a "player control foul"

5/17/2006 9:29:41 PM

it's also not a charge if you buckle your knees to start your fall (think about the difference between sitting down in a chair vs falling out on your couch after a long night)

had this cat I useta play against in district in HS, I had to tell a ref before the game to watch his knees every time there was a chance he'd get knocked over

5/17/2006 9:31:05 PM

BTW...Rasheed will not be out for the next game. They said he would have to have 7 technicals for him to miss a game (that seems like a lot though).

5/17/2006 9:31:31 PM

Hahaha...Billups just fucked up.

"Ahhh...I need to prevent this fast break...but I forgot I had 5 fouls already...so I won't be in the game, although I'm my team's most clutch shooter and it's a close game."

5/17/2006 9:34:17 PM

what the hell is up with all these bad passes late in games?


are they really monumental fuckups, or is it just espn gametracker's way of saying turnover?



shit says:

03.9 Eric Snow defensive rebound
01.9 Detroit full timeout *how they get to call a timeout on defense baffles me*
01.9 Eric Snow bad pass (Lindsey Hunter steals)
01.9 Detroit 20-second timeout
01.9 R. Wallace enters game for A. McDyess
00.1 Richard Hamilton loses ball


[Edited on May 17, 2006 at 9:52 PM. Reason : that shit reads like a WNBA line]

[Edited on May 17, 2006 at 9:52 PM. Reason : doof]

5/17/2006 9:48:33 PM

Prince took a shot...it got blocked...Eric Snow got the ball and decided to throw it the length of the court because he thought it would run out the clock....Hunter chased it down, grabbed the ball, and took a timeout with 1.9 seconds left....Detroit gets the ball out of bounds, passes it to Rip Hamilton, and Hamilton fucks up and loses the ball.

5/17/2006 9:55:13 PM

Can Detroit win the next two? I say 50/50

They sure have a fire lit under thier ass now


I'll be interested to see what the series price line is heading into game 6

5/17/2006 9:56:26 PM

I think the Cavs will close it out at home

5/17/2006 10:16:05 PM

^^^ ahh, okay. some of the sequencing is out of order

5/17/2006 10:31:05 PM

This is shaping up nicely for My Heat.

IF the Cavs win...they have no big man to stop Shaq. I know no one does, but thats how you beat the Cavs...pound it inside. Ben Wallace doesnt create his own offense and Rasheed falls in love with the three and/or cant stay out of foul trouble. Even though they dont fill up the stat book, get Clevlands bigs in foul trouble and they are fucked.

Heat win the title this year vs. the Mavs.

5/17/2006 10:34:10 PM

I'd like the Mavs in that scenario


LETS GO CAVS-CLIPPERS

5/17/2006 10:36:10 PM

^not a chance.

The Cavs are playing above themelves right now.

Like it or not, thier inexperience in the playoffs will ultimately be thier demise.

5/17/2006 10:37:05 PM

that would be the greatest finals ever.

5/17/2006 10:37:13 PM

Tim Duncan is ridiculous tonight, but he needs some help!

11-11, 28 points at halftime

5/17/2006 11:04:42 PM

im still pissed bout that pistons game,its gonna be chaos in cleavland for game 6

go pistons, go spurs

5/17/2006 11:50:47 PM

^^^^ i know, just blind optimism

I just don't want it to be Cavs-Mavs because I will get sick of the promotion that will bring before the series ever starts

5/18/2006 12:10:47 AM

its just basketball. not like its the big bad wolf vs the three little pigs or anything...

5/18/2006 12:56:52 AM

I wish the regular season was this good

then i could actually say i was a fan of the NBA

[Edited on May 18, 2006 at 11:24 AM. Reason : *]

these could be the best playoffs ever.

seriously.

5/18/2006 11:21:39 AM

so wtf happend in that phx la game. i was tired and sick as hell clippers had it won then raja hit that 3. it went into like 2 ots. i was in and out but thought clippers had it and just realized the suns won.

simply amazing, except for a few games, every game is decided in the last minute, so much fun to watch

5/18/2006 10:11:47 PM

OMG IS ANYBODY ELSES ESPN WHINNING RIGHT NOW? no other channel is doing it and my espn and espn hd are screeching like a mofo driving me crazy.

5/18/2006 10:13:45 PM

I just cost my team game six because I threw a punch at Michael Finley and got suspended

5/18/2006 10:20:33 PM

Looks like at least one game 7 in the second round

Lets make it 3 tomorrow night
