The Magic are lighting it up in the first quarter. 35 points with 2:31 left.

[ORS]

43-23 to end the 1st. Incredible.

[Cocos Disciples]

There were some good games yesterday. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the Suns-Spurs series plays out. I didn't get to watch much basketball because of passover but I saw bits and pieces, and highlights.

[See Red]

Toronto has made a game of it but Dwight Howard is incredible.

 

25 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks...

[Mr Crunchy]

brutal ass kicking that wasnt as close as the 24 pt difference

atlanta is pathetic

[rician blast]

My only (slight) concern...too easy of a series sometimes breeds bad habits.

 

I stress, though, slight concern, as I think the younger guys get good playing time in this opening series, which fosters depth and confidence...and I don't believe KG and other vets would allow complacency.

 

Something about the combination of being a Boston Celtic AND having a chance to make a title run that keeps these things in check.

[YanksHater213]

anyone else see kg almost bite powe's head off? jesus christ, the guy is a nutcase, but i love every bit of it.

 

this series is a snoozer, bring on the cavs or wizards.

[schillingouttheks]

I would much rather play the Cavs. The Wizards f***ing dump on us.

[redsoxrules]

LB 4 rebounds away from a triple double with the cavs leading by 20 with 5 to play in the 3rd quarter

[YanksHater213]

I would much rather play the Cavs. The Wizards f***ing dump on us.

 

then you're an idiot

 

the games we played vs. the wiz, we played pathetic basketball. it was not celtics basketball at all. they're a very good team, but very beatable. SEE: last night.

 

we dont have a single guy who could guard lebron, nor do we have a guy who can go bucket for bucket with him when its under 2 mintues left.

 

the guy is flat out special. put him on a good team, people are calling him jordan version 2.0. his size, athleticism, strength are all unmatched.

 

if delonte and wally are knocking down their outside shots, theres no reason why they can't make the finals again.

[ORS]

Dwight with another 20/20 game. Beast.

 

Chris Paul is the player I take to start a franchise.

[TheKilo]

Lebron?

[ORS]

Maybe, but there's a case for Paul.

[TheKilo]

Maybe' date=' but there's a case for Paul.[/quote']

 

Oh absolutely. I just think LeBron is way too good to pass up.

[Mr Crunchy]

when lebron wore a yankee hat to the jake in a playoff game he slapped his entire fan base in the mouth

it aint like a home boy rooting for his home team

just the opposite in fact

f*** him

i want to see him beat the celts in a 7 game series

jordan made a lot of people champions and i dont see this guy in that class yet

[See Red]

Hawks and Celtics are knotted at two games.

 

I love this.

[Mr Crunchy]

celtics again failed to put this away when they had these guys by the short hairs early on.

the only good thing about this week is detroit is locked up in a s*** fight with philly.

canada is gone as expected in 4 and orlando has been the most consistant teams in the east so far.

out west?

that denver team needs a penis implant and a complete overhaul

on paper they should be terrifying but on the court they play defense like old people f***(meaning they dont)

the playoffs are just begining here

im rooting for phoenix to take san antone at least 6 deep

thats another team that disappoints and is ripe for a house cleaning or at least a coaching change

[Cocos Disciples]

James Posey needs to cover Joe Johnson in the 4th quarter. And PP needs to get his s*** together. Better not be hurt. At least we're back home.

Iverson wants an extension in Denver. Nuggets have a tough choice... Iverson could fetch a LOT in return since he'sgot a $20 mill contract that comes off the books after next year, or the Nuggets could keep him and take a run at it without George Karl... maybe pickup TJ ford. I tend to think a complete overhaul is in store... keep 'Melo, buildaround him again.

 

Anyone want proof that the NBA is a joke? The fact that KG won't be sitting out any games. I don't care what is going around all this, if you put your arms on an official like this it should be at least a game...

Especially if the NBA thinks it was right in suspending Amare last year.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah I was pretty suprised that nobody, especially KG, got suspended.

[redsoxrules]

I was kinda surprise to see Avery Johnson get fired

Kevin Durant wins the Rookie of the Year Award

[The Dustball]

A nice win for the C's last night. I think that they can end this series on Friday and give their guys some rest

[schillingouttheks]

Doc Rivers is a terrible coach.

[redsoxrules]

Doc Rivers is a terrible coach.

 

dosent matter in this series , the series should be over weather its me or doc rivers coaching. blame the players right now
