Thank you Crespo.

 

Using your logic, Bosox, Kobe Bryant is no good, because on January 5th vs. Denver he shot 2-9 and scored only 8 points, so that means he had no impact on the Lakers season because he only scored 8 points in that game.

 

Go learn about logic, because you need some.

 

If you read my first post, you'll see that I said if he turns it up. Did he turn it up? Nope, and I'm not surprised by the result. Even though he shot badly he still had a huge impact, both good and bad. He opened up the inside for Williams to drive and Boozer to post up because of his outside shooting. On the other end he played legit no defense and should never have been guarding Duncan in the first place, he has no business doing that, that should be Boozer's job, can't blame that on Okur.

Well, like I said before, hes not nearly consistent enough to have a true impact on the series. He is such a one dimensional player and he will never be a legitimate option down low until he develops that part of his game, and that certainly will not happen during this series against Tim Duncan. Sure, he may come out with a 20 point game or maybe even two this series, but he is not the type of player that can have a huge impact because his abilities are limited.

[Mr Crunchy]

utah cant stay with these guys

san antone is too balanced offensively

[Manny Goes Boom]

Wow whats with all the Spurs hate? Dirty? Maybe, but they're not breaking any rules. There is a fine line between breaking and bending and they definitely bend them.

 

 

Maybe?

 

Try again

 

EXTREMELY.

 

I'm not even going to get into that past series because I was pretty depressed for awhile. But I will say, that they had the refs in their corner all series, as well as the league office. Oh well, f*** them and go Pistons.

ok the suns lost that series and its NOT because of the refs , they had game 5 and they gave it away and in game 6 tim duncan stole the show .

Steve Nash might as well of had bruises on his arms due to Bowen slapping the f*** outta him. Bowen should have been suspended for his ******** antics he ALWAYS pulls, and (I KNOW the rule,) but Amare and Diaw shouldn't have been suspended. Same thing happened earlier in that game and Duncan and Bowen both came off the bench during a tussle between James Jones and Francisco Elson. But do the Spurs EVER do anything wrong? Not according to themselves, and not much according to the league office.

 

Yeah they may have had game 5 but players who were used to 36-40 minutes and timely rest by Coach D, played nearly the whole game and were drained by the end of it, what do you expect?

 

And give me a break, I thought you were a Mavs fan...the Spurs are one of your biggest rivals. I hope your not happy they are still alive.

[BoSox34]

The San Antonio Spurs, NBA Referees, and David Stern combine to make an undefeatable playoff machine.

yeah i hate the spurs too , i hope the jazz turn it around and kick their asses. im not bashing the suns im just saying they still had their chances to win despite what happened . it would have definatley been interesting if amare and diaw would have played game 5 .

 

its verry shocking at this point that were in the conference finals and the one of the 2 teams in it isnt the mavs or the suns . im pissed too the mavs got beat by a team that played way over their heads .

[TheKilo]

It's too bad the NBA is irrelevant anyways.

[See Red]

The playoffs, up to this point, have been an absolute disaster for the NBA. Golden State beating Dallas aside, can anybody think of any great moments that have happened? And even with the Golden State/Dallas series -- that series was an absolute blowout, it's only noteworthy because of who beat who. San Antonio is running away in the Western Conference Finals, Cleveland's putting up a fight, but is there any doubt that Detroit wins the series? Nobody outside of San Antonio or Detroit will watch a rematch of the 2005 Finals. They've been terrible -- and that's without even mentioning all the controversy about suspensions, terrible officiating, etc. In fact, all the negatives that have happened for the league have been the only reason anybody's even been talking about the playoffs.

 

This League sucks.

[ORS]

Given the way the officials and commissoner's office has been during these playoffs, I put more credence in the validity of the WWE results than this year's NBA finals. Seriously. This league has serious credibility problems, IMO.

[redsoxrules]

another questionable call in lastnight's game

[schillingouttheks]

Lebron has been putting on a Jordan-esque performance. Scoring 29 of Cleveland's last 30 points. 109-107 Cleveland in double OT with 2.2 to go.

 

I f***ing hate the Pistons. Something rubs me the wrong way about them. I would love nothing more than to see Cleveland pull away in this series.

 

Cavs win!!! 3-2 going back to Cleveland. Probably one of the greatest performances I've ever seen put on by anyone in the playoffs by King James tonight.

[Rodney Harrison]

The question is, will the Cavs steal one from the Spurs?

[Mr Crunchy]

cavs will win 1 maybe 2 at home

i dont think they can win it all

 

of course the world series is in st louis

the stanley cup is headed to losangeles

the superbowl is in indiana

soooo anything is possible

The Kings haven't competed for a Stanley Cup since 1993, which was also the last time a Canadian team won. I think you mean Anaheim.

Denver Nuggets Guard JR Smith was apparently injured in a car accident in which he and a friend were ejected from their SUV. According to his father, though, he's alright.

Perhaps TW101 would agree that maybe he shouldn't have gotten into the car.

[redsoxrules]

spurs destroying the cavs ...58-33 at the half

[CrespoBlows]

Cavs look like they did against the Pistons in Games 1 and 2. Except, they are only putting a quarter together.

 

I like the Cavs as a mini-upset in Game 3.

[See Red]

Agreed. Crowd's going to be nuts for Game 3.

 

I think that's the only game they win, though.

[CrespoBlows]

If they win Game 3, then this series is wide open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, who the hell am I kidding.

 

Spurs in 4.

[jacksonianmarch]

2 things the Cavs have in their favor.

 

Technically, the series hasnt started yet. That happens when a home team loses a game. So, they should be alright (haha, yeah)

 

And they stormed back on the Spurs to make a blowout a game yesterday. I am gonna be an optimist and say this series doesnt end in Cleveland.

[schillingouttheks]

I just think the Spurs stopped playing with as much intensity when the game was a blowout. Tony Parker himself said during his post-game interview that they're human and when you're up by such a big lead, you don't play as hard.

 

I'm not going to read into the momentum thing. This thing ends in San Antonio in game 5.

[ORS]

I'll go ahead and guarantee it doesn't end in SA in game 5 (2-3-2 in the Finals).

[schillingouttheks]

Oh. Whoops. Then it ends in Cleveland in game 5.

[See Red]

Should've been a foul on Bowen at the end. Lebron's got a legitimate argument.

 

Oh well, anything to end this series quicker.

[YanksHater213]

i called the spurs at the begining of the postseason if anyone cares

[yankees228]

I don't think it would have been in the act of shooting though.

[Mr Crunchy]

it seems to me that sanantone is toying with them

gibbons got shut out

lebron is human

those 2 gigantic stiffs ilguaskus and the kid from kansas equelly suck and are ineffective

 

sanantone may lose a game but i dont think it will happen

this cleveland team maybe the worst finals team in history

[jacksonianmarch]

lebron cannot do everything by himself.
