I think it speaks volumes that LeBron can have his worst game of the playoffs, KG have his best game and the Cavs still were in it til the end in Boston.

Clevelands defense is extremely underated. They are soo deep off the bench. I just wish we could get more consistant play from them. Im pissed that Daniel Gibson isnt a starter though, thats a pretty bullshit coaching call if you ask me. I would run LBJ, Gibson, West, Big Ben, and Z.

Oh yeah Lebron had a bad game I'll give you that but are you kidding me? Ray Allen goes scoreless. Pierce, who can take games over by himself and he couldnt get it going either at all so don't just say Lebron wasn't playing like his usual self, I knew after the game thats what everyone would be saying and its ridiculous. Did you watch the game?. We put a lot of pressure on him, made him take stupid shots/travel/turn it over. Granted he missed some wide open lay ups but give the D some credit.

I say celts in 5 and fuck Boston?

best sports city in America easyyyyyy. Say what you want about the Pats, Im already pumped for next season. Cant fuckin wait.

Yes the entire country knows how Massachuettes and New Englanders turn a blind eye to their cheating franchise. thats why its fucking hilarious and thats why we rub it in your face every chance we get. the elite of Boston could careless if they raped 12 year old girls to get those superbowl rings, they just care that they have them.

Yay Boston. And dont get ready for a NBA championship, unless you guys plan on paying the refs off. I cant wait to see the Lakers and Kobe down the Celts in a 4 game sweep.

Yeah I'm an all mighty New Englander who thinks cheating and rape is essential in sports, look at me. If your favorite football/basketball/baseball team was caught in a scandal like SpyGate what would you do? Would you really stop liking your team. I hope to God not. You stick with them through thick and thin. Im not "blind" to spygate and if all the allegations are true then fuck, what do you want me to do? come on here and make a thread denoucing my patriots fanhood? Your ignorant as hell if you think all New Englanders and Boston sports fans are like that. Absolutely ridiculous.

Id love to see the Lakers win it. Kobe deserves it. Think how sick they will be next season when Bynum gets healthy. They have a real good chance to be great for the next 5 years.

I wish my Cavaliers would make a big trade to bring in some more talent around LeBron. We have soo much depth but not a lot of solid contributors.

[Escape The Fate]

I see the Spurs taking down the Hornets tonight at home.

And the Celtics winning by about 6. This game will have a lot more offense from both teams.

All-NBA First Team

http://www.nba.com/news/all_nba_080508.html

G - Kobe Bryant
G - Chris Paul
F - LeBron James
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Dwight Howard



It's the same as the top 5 in the MVP poll lol

[pinacolaaadas]

Hmm... I think the final game will be Detroit and LA, and then LA winning by about 5-8 points, let's say 98 - 106. You can't guard Kobe, unless you put two men on him, but the Lakers have such great shooters that if you drop a guard on say Lamar Oden, the lakers would still be scoring points. I don't see the Cavaliers going far either, because if Lebron's game sucks, the Cavaliers suck. Boston is going to dominate them because of their fantastic defense. The Hornets might have a shot at playing the Lakers if Chris Paul's game continues to be as good as it has in the playoffs, but he's still a rookie. David West is very good, and him and Chris Paul practically carry the team.

So to be completely honest, it will either be Boston or Detroit going up against LA, but LA is still my overall pick to win it all.

CP3 Ballin' out of his mind right now for a reason




Paul will honor boy whose wish to see the Hornets went unfulfilled
by Katy Reckdahl, The Times-Picayune
Wednesday May 07, 2008, 10:07 PM
Before tonight's playoff game, the New Orleans Hornets' superstar point guard Chris Paul will write the name "Brian" on his shoes, paying tribute to an 8-year-old fan who died Monday night before he could meet his basketball hero.
Brian, who had cancer, wore his Chris Paul jersey nonstop, said Michael McMyne, president of A Child's Wish of Greater New Orleans, an all-volunteer nonprofit that helps fulfill the wishes of about 100 critically ill Louisiana children each year. McMyne asked that Brian's last name not be used to respect the privacy of the grieving family.
Brian's wish was simple: He wanted to go to a Hornets game.
So McMyne got him tickets to Monday night's playoff game against the San Antonio Spurs.
But at the last minute, a friend of Brian's family called to cancel. The boy had been rushed to the hospital with a high fever, she said. He died hours later.
In his final weeks, Brian told his family that he knew he was going to heaven and that he wanted to meet Jesus wearing his Chris Paul jersey.
Someone within the Hornets organization sent around an e-mail telling Brian's story. It caught the eye of Paul and Hornets owner George Shinn. Both cried.
"It was very touching to me. Tears welled up in my eyes," said Shinn, who sent flowers and a letter to the family and offered to help with funeral costs. The family, overwhelmed with grief, was touched by his kindness but declined. The location and time of the funeral also are private.
Shinn and his wife hoped to attend the funeral with Paul and his parents. But the team will be on road at the time, so that isn't possible, Shinn said. The family plans to bury Brian in his favorite jersey, as he requested.
Footwear tributes aren't new, Shinn said. But usually the name is directly connected to the player. His mother. A family member. A favorite coach. "The NBA allows you to do that, to honor that person," Shinn said.
Shinn has never before seen a player write a fan's name on his footwear, "particularly a fan that the player hadn't even met," he said.
The tribute is "above and beyond imagination," McMyne said. "This genuinely heartfelt response by Chris Paul made this delicate family feel fortunate as they grieve their angel."

Glad to see someone else in here rooting for the celts! (...from a fellow Bostonian)

btw... Cavs got wrecked tonight now that Pierce and Allen scored.

[NAMushrooms]

The Cavs have looked fucking pathetic. Im pretty pissed with their poor proformance in these first 2 games, If we dont win both of the home games, we are finished.

Props to the Celtics though

Hornets aren't letting up for shit
