After watching the Cavs/Pistons game last nite do you think we can make it to the Finals? I do.. I think they just grew up last nite and LeBron finally starts making some free throws..

The Cavs have as good a shot as any to make it to the Finals, then get trashed by whoever comes out of the west.

No one will beat my Mavs :grrhee:

Honestly though, i think its going to be Dallas & Cleveland in the Finals this year.

As long as we get there is all that matters to me. The rest is up to LeBron. If hes the next Jordan he will show it in the finals

No. LeBron can't do it himself.

Michael Jordan didn't win a chip until he had Pippen. Larry Hughes is no Scotty Pippen. Anderson "Sideshow Bob" Verajao is not Dennis Rodman. Whoever the hell plays point guard for the Cavs is not Steve Kerr.

not much of a basketball fan but id have to go with the bulls being my favorite team if i had to pick

The Bulls are the team I worry about the most. Cavs and Bulls would be a good eastern confrence championship game

How bout dem Cavs?

3 in a row going for 4

Multiply that by four and you have the Mavericks win streak

lol

Multiply that by four and you have the Mavericks win streak

you better believe it.

Were on an absolute role. Going for 17 in a row tonight in LA.

Chalk up another win for the Wine and Gold.

Cavs Mavs Nba Finals

Cavs get crushed :(

I hate Miami.

I hate Miami.

with a passion :moon2:

How about my knicks?

with a passion :moon2:

I don't mind Wade, despite his favourtism, and Shaq is alright but Posey, Walker, Williams didn't deserve a ring.

DAYUM Mavs are amazing lol. Lakers got pwned.

Cavs vs Mavs
Pistons vs Mavs

thats what i see.

maybe the bulls if they can get passed us or det

108-72 :ha:

The boys ran the Lakers out of Staples....

Dallas is great, and they probably would have beaten LA anyways, but the Lakers right now are completely decimated by injury. Odom is out, Kwame hasn't been the same since he came back, Mihm hasn't played a minute this year, Luke Walton is out, and Andrew Bynum has cooled off considerably since the beginning of the year.

Well at least the Bulls 72 - 10 won't be broken.

yeah we didn't look too good last night danny. Actually that was the first back-to-back game we lost all year, we were like 16-0 or something like that. Oh well, gotta lose once in a while :ha:

Mavs & Suns Wednesday Night though on ESPN 9pm EST

Cavs on a little winning streak. And notice for the haters.. we put away the Kings without LeBron...

Can I get a little IRAAAAAAAAAAAA NEWBLE!!!!

Dude.... it's the Kings

Dude it dosent matter.

For a team that "only wins cuz lebron is on the team" it was good.

We crushed them without our star player.

Were going deep into the playoffs...

You're going deep in the playoffs in one of the worst conferences in the history of sports. The freaking Knicks are still in the running for a playoff spot for gods sake. Yeah you might make it to the Finals, but as far as i'm concerned the Western Conference Finals will be the real Finals.

We were 1 shot away from tying the Mavricks a week ago....

Cavs arnt just a "team in the east"

Youll find that out in the next few weeks

Dude it dosent matter.

For a team that "only wins cuz lebron is on the team" it was good.

We crushed them without our star player.

Were going deep into the playoffs...

You crushed the Kings, they are last in the Pacific. LeBron or not they aren't that good.
And you barely beat Milwaukee.

We crushed Boston, big deal. You're expected to do it to be a playoff team.

We beat the Mavs and were the last team to do so before Golden State and we did it easy.

Big deal, one win means little.

Oh My God! The Cavs beat the Grizzlies tonight! They're going to the Finals! Watch out, baby!

cleveland sucks, they'll get eliminated in the first round.

Cleveland has a shot to make it to the finals in the "weakest conference in the history of sports" eastern conference, then they'll just get pimp slapped by either Dallas, Phoenix, or San Antonio

This Dallas v Phoenix game is great.

This Dallas v Phoenix game is great.

Watching it right now... NBA at its absolute finest. Potential Western Conference Finals matchup

I'm predicting Dallas and San Antonio.

What a great game. Dallas was still in the Golden State locker room in the 1st quarter but since then have absolutely exploded & looked great. GO MAVS :grrhee:

Mavs are absolutely on fire in the third. They might run away and hide with this one. This crowd is going nuts.

sure we will.. were clickin on all cyliders. No one will stop us the rest of the way.. Detriot watch out. were commin.

And what was to the guy who said we suck and we will get eliminated in the first round. Stop being jealous. And all you haters will find out who the Cavs really are come playoff time.

I must say this...

What a game... Im jealous of that crowd. Id love to be there...

and Nash ties it up with a 3!!!! OMG this game pwns!!

Oh My God! Steve Nash is absolutely carrying the Suns on his back!

wow Nash hit the 2nd chance 3.

scores are even

what a game

NOWITSKI! OMG!!! NO he missed! oveeeeeerrrrtimeeeeee

OT baby

OT Baby! What a game. Steve Nash willed Phoenix into overtime.

:p

Amare Stoudamire is unstoppable right now. If he starts playing like he did in the '05 playoffs, Phoenix has a legit chance at the championship

i hope this game doesnt end but I think Phoenix will win it now.

i want about 6 OTs

Amare has hit his last twelve shots. He's coming up on Wilt's record of 18

talk about nerveracking....

jesus :wall:

Steve Nash... MVP?

I wish the Cavs had Amare.. He and Lebron would light it up

When you look at Steve Nash, do you think he's a hall of famer? Because if he wins three straight MVPs, you have to start considering it.

What a collapse by my mavs :suspect:

I wish the Cavs had Amare.. He and Lebron would light it up

They could have had him in 2002. They took Dajuan Wagner from Memphis

omg your kidding me

Jason Terry ties it up!

well remember jordan won mvp 2 straight... so yeah.. Nash is a HOF'er..

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He hit the 3!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH this kicks every cavs games arse that i have ever seen.....

Jet!!!!!!!!!

Why the hell did Phoenix not just foul Terry right there? He would have been at the line for two down by three.

Lets Go D!!!!!!!!

well remember jordan won mvp 3 staright... so yeah.. Nash is a HOF'er..

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He hit the 3!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH this kicks every cavs games arse that i have ever seen.....

Jordan also won 6 championships, plus scoring titles and all nba teams on O and D

Why the hell did Phoenix not just foul Terry right there? He would have been at the line for two down by three.

i think they still had fouls to give anyway.

Double OT Fellas!

Double Overtime! I could watch this game all night

sweet another OT

4 more to go

How do you not go to Nash right there?

Dantoni is an idiot. He let Barbosa have the last shot, what a bum.

cos that a/hole Barbosa shot a game winner against the Bulls awhile ago and he is there man for it.

How come he couldn't miss against us.

I love this fellas! This is like the Colts & Titans in a playoff game.

GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If these two meet in the playoffs, I would not leave my seat for the entire series

Ouch. Josh Howard has fouled out. Big loss for the Mavs

man what a pass by Nash.

Dampier has 10 rebounds and all of them have been offensive.

make that 12.

Steve Nash sees passing lanes that only Magic Johnson could ever see. That man is amazing.

dampier is gone too

dampier is gone too

Maybe Stoudemire can grab a defensive board now

Maybe Stoudemire can grab a defensive board now

not likely lol

Dang.. Dirk got a tech

Is Phoenix playing defense? Wow this may be a first

Stoudamire kills Dirk in the lane & no call?!?!? thats ludacris.

This game is absolutly unbelievable..

Stackhouse breathes new life into the Mavs.

Sorry RyansTitans, but I think we know who the two best teams in the league are.

Lord how mercy. Come on fellas....

Barbosa looks like Ginoboli flopping 20 yards down the floor.

don't forget that Dallas are missing Harris and George and now Howard and Dampier.

Captain Barbosa is out now.

When were healthy & have a full line-up, no one can beat us straight up....

man Nash what a play.

That went off NASH!!!!!!!

Great heads up play by Nash

WOW! if he woulda made that i would of chit my pants

crazy

Dirk just missed...well someone had to.

weiipwejffno3fneuofnbierfbiefbiefb

Why weren't the Mavs at the rim for the offensive board?

That went off NASH!!!!!!!

no it didn't.

We still only lost to the Mavs by 3 points :)

CRAZY GAME THO..

I think we all know who the best teams are now... lol

no it didn't.

danny, it hit his leg before it touched out of bounds!

One of the best games I've seen all season. I am now convinced that every Phoenix Suns game should be considered must see TV

jeez this is like losing to the friggin colts :irked:

danny, it hit his leg before it touched out of bounds!

it didn't.

It seriously diddnt im watching rite now. I love tivo :)

im speechless. what a heartbreaking loss.

we had the game in the 4th & let it go with stupid mistakes. the only people that can beat us is ourselves. lord how mercy. a loss like this hasn't hurt this bad since last year's finals.

There's no shame in losing that game man. It was possibly the best game played this season.

If anyone is watching the Lakers games, Kobe might go off for big numbers tonight. He has ten through four minutes right now.

Ok so anyone wanna talk about the Cavs now?

8 game winning streak..

just beat the 4th best team (record wise) in the NBA..

1 game back from the Division leading Pistons..

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=270318020

The Cavs are still in the East. Click the link and see what happens when the West meets the East. Albeit, the Cavs are a better team than the Sixers.

Kobe with 38 through three. Lakers playing well vs. a mediocre T'Wolves team. LA could be a tough opponent in the playoffs now that they've got Walton and Odom back from injury.

I might expect that type of outcome from any 42-25 team playing a 26-41 team, I know the West is dominant right now, but you coulda come up with a better example

This is a better example :grrhee:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=270318008

Mavs have rebounded very nicely since the 2 OT game against Pheonix.

Pheonix on the other hand has absolutely gotten blown out of the water in 2 games since against Detroit & Denver by 25+ each. Clearly the Solars in the desert have no killer instinct & play no defense :ha:

GO MAVS :woot:

This is a better example :grrhee:

that works, four points isn't really a dominating win, but I will grant you that it is a game between the #1 teams in each conference

I might expect that type of outcome from any 42-25 team playing a 26-41 team, I know the West is dominant right now, but you coulda come up with a better example

What you say is true, but the Sixers are only five games back in the playoffs. Kinda tells you the state of the Eastern Conference

Um hey buddy. Im not sure you even follow the NBA. Cuz uhhh...

well look

http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/schedule/

we beat the Rockets.... Jazz.... Kings... lost by 3 points to the Mavs.

plus we swept San Antonio eariler in the Season.

Stop saying the Cavs are just good cuz we play in the East.

Were not a team to F with.

Were 18-9 against the West...

We play the Mavs after the Bobcats in 2 days I think.. So when we beat them I dont wanna hear no crap about how the Cavs are only good cuz we play in the East..

Um hey buddy. Im not sure you even follow the NBA. Cuz uhhh...

well look

Um yeah buddy, I do follow the NBA. That West vs. East comment I made earlier was pretty much a terrible one. Look, i'll give the Cavs some credit. Them and the Pistons are clearly the class of the East. I just have some worries about them. Lebron has disappeared for stretches this season, and it's clear that as Lebron goes, so does the Cavs. What's gonna happen when the Pistons (a good defensive team) start slowing down LBJ. Where's the scoring going to come from? Do you really trust Larry Hughes to step it up that much in the playoffs? What about top five pick turned disappointment Drew Gooden? Or whoever plays point guard for them? (who is it, Eric Snow?) All i'm saying is that I don't think the Cavs have the horses to run with the best of the west. They have a real legit shot to make the finals, and as far as i'm concerned, you have to consider that a success. But can the Cav's starting five run with the Mavs (Jason Terry, Josh Howard, Jerry Stackhouse, Dirk, and Eric Dampier), or the high powered Suns (Steve Nash, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudamire), or the San Antonio Spurs and their smothering defense? You really think that Big Z and his bad feet could handle Amare in a seven game series? Or Duncan? Or Dirk? Don't think so.

The East vs. West comment earlier was supposed to say that the East as a whole is very weak. The top of the Conference is good (Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, maybe Washington and Miami), but after that it gets pretty darn terrible.

"and it's clear that as Lebron goes, so does the Cavs."

Have you looked at our record this year without LeBron???

This is just like with the Titans... we were supposed to be a bad team but ended up good. Just cuz the Mavs Suns Spurs ect. are stacked with players dosent always mean there going to run threw the East. Didn't the Pistons just easily take care of the Suns? Then lost a close one to the Mavs?

Players do mean alot. But anyone can win on any given day. When the Cavs are in that zone like we are now I dont see why we cant beat any team that steps up to us.

Youll find out in 3 days. Were going to beat the Mavs then I wanna see what you say about that.

Playoffs are getting closer and closer we will see who the better team is sooner or later

no one ever said the Cavs were a bad team, they were expected to be amongst the top in the East.

Have you looked at our record this year without LeBron???

What... 3-0 vs. the Kings, Golden State, and Philly? Yeah they're undefeated, but those teams aren't exactly setting the world on fire

we were supposed to be a bad team but ended up good.

When were the Cavs supposed to be a bad team? I don't remember this...

But anyone can win on any given day. When the Cavs are in that zone like we are now I dont see why we cant beat any team that steps up to us.

This is true... Basketball is more a game about streaks than probably any other sport

Youll find out in 3 days. Were going to beat the Mavs then I wanna see what you say about that.

Yeah I guess we will see... it should be a good game

Kobe drops 50 on the T Wolves....

What else is new... ha

Players do mean alot. But anyone can win on any given day.
but it usually evens out over a 7 game series, which is why I prefer single-elimination tournaments

Youll find out in 3 days. Were going to beat the Mavs then I wanna see what you say about that.


:eh?: :biglaugh: yeah right.....

:eh?: :biglaugh: yeah right.....

laugh all you want. we already almost beat you guys. Lebron missed two 3's in in like 5 seconds. If he woulda hit one then overrrrrtime.

Same with the Pistons. They woulda beat u if Ba ba ba Billups played.

You guys aint as tough as u think.

Look kid, the only reason you came within 3 points of beating us was that we were up by double digits in the 4th & let off the pedal slighty.

The Pistons without Billups arguement doesn't hold water either as we were without our top 2 defenders/role players in Devean George & Greg Buckner, both of which play key roles on our team.

Letting off the pedal is 100% b/s. You dont stop playing at the end of the game. EVER.

Cant wait untill Wednesday.....

And I dont want none of that oh we lost cuz our top blah blah blah was out.

If you lose to us... a "just another East team" as all of you say... then I dont want no more of this crap about how were only good cuz we play in a "Mediocre Confrence"

Dirk cant stop LeBron...

:rolleyes:

What?

No one can stop King Jeezy

BTW have you ever see that patch of hair on the back on Drew Goodens head?

And have you ever wondered why Rasheed Wallace is always chasin him around when we play each other....

I think he stole Wallaces hair on the top of his head

ahhh thoes Bobcats get us again :bonk2:

Ah oh well. 8 in a row was good for me. A loss isent gonna hurt us.


Mavs tomorrow!!

:yes:

I guess King James is more of a loyal servant then one who cannot be stopped.

You guys lost to the Bobcats? :suspect: Come on now, thats one of those teams on the list of "You can't lose to ________!" :ha:

Teams on the list include: Charlotte, Atlanta, Memphis, Boston & Philly.

See you tomorrow night :grrhee:

We blew a double didget lead... unexcusable..

Your rite. We cant lose to them. But... every team has there bad night.

That was ours.

Untill tomorrow...

Why the hell is Lebron James in a lawnmower commercial?

LMAO cuz hes Lebreezy the King Jeezy

man lets just get this game on.

24 minutes.

And if we get smashed you'll never hear a word out of my mouth about how good we are again..

LeBron --> :makefun: :slap: <-- Dirk and Terry cuz Dirk missed the game winning shot

Its over already.

SASHA FOR 3333333333333

holy crap

http://www.nba.com/media/lebron_050403_330.jpg

Dirk and Bron are a combined 2-16 wtf!

And Dallas are winning.

No LeBron, No Cavs.

And Dallas are winning.

No LeBron, No Cavs.


dude. look how close the game is.

and were missing every single shot.

theres no excuse why were even remotley close to them.

2nd half its over were taking it.

only Sasha is keeping you in the game and he is a hack.

No bench points

If Dallas could rebound worth a damn this game would be over.

Ur about to get prooved wrong. Cavs gonna come out and win this thing

Nevermind we still cant make a shot to save our lives

There is a reason Dallas are the best team in the league.

Ouch. LeBron got killed.

LeBron is the man. Id still be on the ground

Ok i must say this..

Dallas are some bad mo fos.. but...

this game is far from over.

down 10... gettin it goin rite now. if we can pull this off you have to give us some credit.


and another thing. how do i get the time to show up right on the board? since we had to turn our clocks up an hour the time has been rong for me on here

win first then we can discuss credit.

Verajeo must be Ginoboli's brother.

I should see if this game is on down here.

Mavs just pulling away.

Cleveland tops are terrible.

Good job Devin Harris. Way to sit everyone down in the crowd.

i dont get it.

we start off clearly better then them making everything

then we just miss miss misss miss miss whats up with that?

down 13 now. we can still do it. but we need to start off fast and dont slow down

Mavs are 46 - 3 when leading to start the 4th.

and more importantly Cavs won't get past round one if they don't get bench points.

were comin...

yeah...

cavs will win mark my words

:blah2:

If we lose this game I will never say the word Ted Ginn JR on this board ever again

:blah2:

:bully:

If we lose this game I will never say the word Ted Ginn JR on this board ever again

Come on Dallas.

I dont care about Dallas just want Cleveland to lose so Chicago can catch up.

What seed are u guys currently

within 6... against the best team in the NBA?

The best team? hmmmm

5th, but we get home field over Toronto as the moment.

God this is like the Titans going to the SuperBowl for me come on guys. Its not about trash talking anymore we need this win to shut up so many haters

within 6... against the best team in the NBA?

The best team? hmmmm

55 - 11 is the best team.

And they are 5x better than Cleveland. One game won't change that.

haters?

who is hating on the Cavs?

I hate Dirk. I hate him. I freaking hate him

haters?

who is hating on the Cavs?

Everybody. They keep saying we cant take the next step in the playoffs.

Everybody. They keep saying we cant take the next step in the playoffs.

Well it doesn't help that you don't have a 2nd option beind LeBron at all. They spent a boat load of cash on Hughes & he's done absolutely nothing but throw up bricks. Without a 2nd option, its hard to win consistantly, especially against the best teams.

Just think. If we made half of the shots that we missed in that what? 15 shots? we would be leading rite now

I hate Dirk. I hate him. I freaking hate him

Don't hate because he is better than anyone in Cleveland.

Just think. If we made half of the shots that we missed in that what? 15 shots? we would be leading rite now

:ha:

and if Dallas made half the shots they missed they'd be up by 20.

That is just stupid.

COME ON!

We are so close to tieing up this game lets go!

Don't hate because he is better than anyone in Cleveland.

LeBron is better the Dirk..

LeBron is better the Dirk..

a true homer

LeBron is better the Dirk..

:spit:

COME ON!

We are so close to tieing up this game lets go!

your down by 11, how are the cavs about to tie it up? :suspect:

mistook 83 for 93?

come on sasha

you guys are done buddy. were going to win this game.

lebron is better then dirk by far. fastest to how many points? how many records broken?

what has dirk done?

Lost a championship?

If that were Kobe he'd be suspended.

you guys are done buddy. were going to win this game.

lebron is better then dirk by far. fastest to how many points? how many records broken?

so LeBron is better than MJ?

haah dirk air ball that was funny

so LeBron is better than MJ?

No that question is dumb because no one will ever be another MJ.

LeBron can only be LeBron.

what has dirk done?

Lost a championship?

what has lebron done?

Not gotten out of the 2nd round?

Until he gets a legit 2nd option, Cleveland won't win anything.

No that question is dumb because no one will ever be another MJ.

LeBron can only be LeBron.

Then the stats you pointed out are meaningless.

Dirk at this stage is better than LeBron.

There is a reason he is a MVP candidate.

Ballgame.

Just another W on our schedule.

Thank god, no more mention of Ted Ginn Jnr.

What a glorious day.

45 games over .500, that is just insane

:sad2: We had that game and we blew it with our horrible shots

Thank god, no more mention of Ted Ginn Jnr.

What a glorious day.

Unless of course we draft him. Then ima have to buy you a jersey with his name on it. Instead of his number ill make it customized with the word "Ha"

You were never in it.

Unless of course we draft him. Then ima have to buy you a jersey with his name on it. Instead of his number ill make it customized with the word "Ha"

:blah2:

not happening.

Devin Harris is going to be a star. I've liked him since he was at Wisconsin

:sad2: We had that game and we blew it with our horrible shots

yeah right :rolleyes:

After watching the Cavs/Pistons game last nite do you think we can make it to the Finals? I do.. I think they just grew up last nite and LeBron finally starts making some free throws..

The Cavs can beat anybody in the East in a best of 7. As long as the D is tight and situations like last night don't happen, we'll be OK.

No one will beat my Mavs :grrhee:

Honestly though, i think its going to be Dallas & Cleveland in the Finals this year.

Never count out San Antonio, and Phoenix won't go down easy either...

Have you guys seen what Toronto is building? Not that i'm a fan of theirs, but with TJ Ford and Chris Bosh... they could become a force in the East in the next couple of years (actually they're fourth in the standings right now). I'm happy to see that Ford has come back nicely from that nasty injury with the Bucks a few years ago. By the way, how has Charlie Villanueva done in Milwaukee? I haven't heard a thing about him

The Cavs can beat anybody in the East in a best of 7. As long as the D is tight and situations like last night don't happen, we'll be OK.

pfft stop LeBron and the Cavs are nothing.

No bench scoring.

One and done if they don't pull their finger out.

CV is done for the season, but I think he did alright when playing.

How can you say we were never in that game? In the beginning we were making every shot and beating them soundly. We lost so you talk your smack. But when you were getting nervous cuz we were comming back you were saying even if we win 1 game means nothing. Make up your mind. The Cavs are a great team. We make some mistakes but who dosent.

Michael Jordan didn't win a chip until he had Pippen. Larry Hughes is no Scotty Pippen. Anderson "Sideshow Bob" Verajao is not Dennis Rodman. Whoever the hell plays point guard for the Cavs is not Steve Kerr.

The Bulls didn't have a PG per se, they used a lot of 3 G sets with MJ, Kerr and Ron Harper (replace Kerr and Harper with BJ Armstrong and John Paxson from 90-91 to 92-93).

I think I'd take Hughes over any of these 4 tho as my PG...

Call me crazy, but I'd take Sasha over Kerr...

How about my knicks?

Too bad David Lee's hurt...

I hear Allan Houston wants to come back...

Dude.... it's the Kings

Still a road game without Lebron...

No I said one game because it is the truth.

We beat Dallas once, doesn't make us great. Its a game of consistency. Not a one off fluke.
Bulls once swept the Lakers the year they won the championship and Chicago were still a lottery team.

Dallas are 56 and 11. That is a great team.

You were winning through the first quarter and that was it. Dallas handled you the rest of the way.

Still a road game without Lebron...

Still the Kings.

You're going deep in the playoffs in one of the worst conferences in the history of sports. The freaking Knicks are still in the running for a playoff spot for gods sake. Yeah you might make it to the Finals, but as far as i'm concerned the Western Conference Finals will be the real Finals.

I disagree. A Pistons-Cavs or Pistons-Heat matchup (with Shaq and Wade not being the walking wounded) would be a very entertaining EC finals...

When you look at Steve Nash, do you think he's a hall of famer? Because if he wins three straight MVPs, you have to start considering it.

Not because I'm Canadian, but I'll say hell yeah. Consecutive MVPs alone is HOF worthy, unless you die the 3rd year or something LOL...

Seriously, ask anybody in Phoenix, this team is nothing without Nash.. And with him, they're a legit championship contender

Imagine if he was still with Dallas :eek:

They could have had him in 2002. They took Dajuan Wagner from Memphis

Denver took Nene over Amare... :gag:

No I said one game because it is the truth.

Exactly. The Warriors have beaten the Mavs twice this year, are they a great team? Far from it...

Denver took Nene over Amare... :gag:

The Clippers took Chris Wilcox over him too

We took Jay Williams. What a great pick he was.

Josh Howard with the last pick in the first round :))

Josh Howard with the last pick in the first round :))

That was '03 but it was still a great pick

:sad2: We had that game and we blew it with our horrible shots

Dude that's our story, and it's a sad one. Bad shots, missed shots, that's us... The game last night killed our swing, now we're going the wrong way again...

Have you guys seen what Toronto is building? Not that i'm a fan of theirs, but with TJ Ford and Chris Bosh... they could become a force in the East in the next couple of years (actually they're fourth in the standings right now). I'm happy to see that Ford has come back nicely from that nasty injury with the Bucks a few years ago. By the way, how has Charlie Villanueva done in Milwaukee? I haven't heard a thing about him

That was a ripoff, something Grunwald or Bab**** could've never done...

pfft stop LeBron and the Cavs are nothing.

No bench scoring.

One and done if they don't pull their finger out.

Only Lebron can stop Lebron

That was a ripoff, something Grunwald or Bab**** could've never done...

Funny thing is... Jose Calderon is a pretty good point guard too. He could be a pretty good bargaining chip for someone that needs a point guard.

That was '03 but it was still a great pick

My bad, i thought we were just mentioning draft notes. Anywho, i don't see how JHo got passed up by every team in that first round. He played all 4 years @ Wake Forest, made the All-ACC team atleast 3 times that i know & was the ACC player of the year & First Team All-American his senior year where he was completely dominate at times. How you pass up a player like that is beyond me.

No... how Atlanta passed on Chris Paul last year is an absolute travesty. They're one glaring need was and still is PG (that and a compentent coach and front office), and they passed on one of the best pure point guards to come out of college in a long time.

Yeah that too. Crazy how they took Marvin Williams instead of him. Don't get me wrong, Williams is starting bloom into a good player, but he's no Chris Paul. That line-up would be pretty skilled with Paul, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Shelden Williams & whoever their center is. Josh Childress is a pretty decent player for them too.

They are no Luol Dengs.

I think their center is Zaza Pachulia (sp?)

Yeah he is.

Yeah he is.

And to think that RyansTitans said that I didn't follow the NBA :ha:

ya big dummy

lol random. I just looked at your avatar and brought back memories

I just looked at the players in the D-League, and it's funny to see all the former college players that didn't make it in the NBA. Guys like Mateen Cleaves, Andre Emmett, Julius Hodge, Luke Jackson, Gerry McNamara, PJ Tucker, anybody remember Scooter McFadgon from UT. That could be a college all star team right there.

man anyone see the Bulls v Nuggets.

Great game.

Scooter McFadgon was a Globetrotter for a year or two. I've taken my son the last two times they were here and we saw him on the floor in 06, but not 07. Not sure what he's doing now. Playing in Europe maybe?

Kobe Bryant is absolutly rediculous. Goes for 60 again

Buckeyes are about to lose to Tennessee NO!!!!!

down 3

I am looking at the box score of the Buckeyes v Vols.

what is this BONUS business?

I have no idea.

ODEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! blocked it game over!

OMG wat a player

One Tennessee Team down... 1 to go..

The Rockets are going to take Dallas down. Mark it. The Rockets are on fire. They were 4.5 games behind Utah, and nobody thought they could catch them, now, they are within a game with a good chunk of season to play. They beat Philly by 50! The Rockets are going to beat Dallas and embarass them. Dallas used to be quicker than Houston, but Alston, Battier closed that gap advantage in the back court. The Rockets are primed to take them down. Pheonix, on the other hand, has Houston's number.

Houston will be out in the first round.

:eh?: :spit: Come on Phi, me & you both know Houston will not beat Dallas in a 7 game series. Will it be a great series? Of course but in no way will Houston beat Dallas.

im gonna laugh when dallas gets eliminated in the first round

Just like when you said Cleveland would smack Dallas on Wednesday night?

Yeah that turned out real well bud.

oh that glorious day when it was revealed Ted Ginn Jnr will never be uttered again

Yeah yeah yeah rub it in you beat us your better..

Dallas should kill the Clippers. But LA is respectable at every position. They aren't a complete pushover. For an 8 seed they are respectable. The Warriors have nothing, nor do the T-Wolves, nor the Blazers. So I hope that the Clippers get the spot. But Dallas will likely punish them 4 games to one.

I would love to see Kobe play the Suns again. That would be fun. But right now he is headed to San Antonio. Not as much fun, but Kobe should still light up Bowen.

Utah is suprising in that Boozer is so good. His shot in unblockable. I think he's harder to guard than Brand. Sloan is a great coach, but Utah is slumping hard down the stretch. I still don't know how Brewer shoots 50% plus either.

If Nene plays well, the Nougats are much tougher than they used to be to. But no way they can run the suns right now.

I still see the whole round falling to the favorites. Setting up.
Dallas vs. Houston
Suns vs. San Antonio

In the East, I could care less, but Miami in the finals is tough for anyone if Wade is back. And Cleveland with Lebron is pure entertainment. So I will root for those two teams.

:chair:

:neener: HAAAHAA no Bulls

well luckily the opinion of one has no bearing on how things will play out.

He's going to have to. Last night when he scored 60, the Lakers needed every one of those points to beat the god awful Grizzlies. If he scores 57, they lose. If he doesn't get some sort of help from his "supporting" cast (especially Odom and Walton), the Lakers won't even be competitive in the playoffs.

He's at it again. Kobe has 44 through three.

I heard LA has officially renamed the team

The LA Kobetts :suspect:

Kobe scoring mass amounts of points is the only way the Lakers are going to win right now.

And unfortunately for Laker Fans, thats not a good thing :ha:

Kobe already has 9 points in 2 minutes.
