Such a boring series. Mike Brown is a terrible coach.

 

Whatever teams wins this series will proceed to get their s*** stomped in by what appears to be the best team in the league, the Magic.

 

Hate to say it, but I agree.

 

The Celtics would need an other worldly effort from the Big 3, which I honestly don't see them as having right now. Orlando is too deep off the bench, and the only chance one of these teams would have is if the streaky Orlando team shows up that loves to jack up and miss threes.

I agree, but I do think the Celtics have the larger capability to surprise than the Cavs would. The C's are much more balanced from top to bottom than Cleveland and can play much better defense. We took them to 7 last year without KG, so having him back is nice. Though Orlando is much better than what they were last year, especially with Vinsanity's added shooting ability now.

 

The Celtics would be a harder task for the Magic than the Cavs, IMO.

If I see Mo williams in a cavs uniform at the start of the season, I'm gonnna go up to cleveland and beat the s*** out of him. He can't play a f***ing spec of defense. Don't get me started about the refs.

[Spudboy]

Suns, it had nothing to do with the refs. The Celts just out played the Cavs.

Shaq, Andy, and mo put their hands straight up and theres a foul. Celtics do the same and no foul. Ray Allen dunk when mo didn't touch him.

[Keeper]

Blaming the refs again, suns? Really? Stop being a sore loser.

Blame LeBron and his 9 turnovers. That's what really f***ed you over.

 

You know what's funny? The supporting cast of the LA Clippers would be a better fit for LeBron than what he has now.

[Emmz]

I think that was Lebron's last game with the Cavs. I don't think he's stupid enough to stick with a team that will continue to make him carry the entire load. That's unless they get one of the big names, even Jordan needed Pippen (and others) to be what he became. Jordan didn't win his first title until he was getting close to 30 though.

I bet their PG can play better D than mo.

[schillingouttheks]

He can also probably play better O.

[italstallianion]

And the Wizards get the first pick in the draft, followed by the 76ers, and the Nets get the 3rd overall pick.

[suns]

I can't stand the Nets owner and he hasn't done anything yet.

[schillingouttheks]

lol why?

[suns]

lol why?

 

I mean he looks evil. I mean look

Well, he is Russian.

[Jasonbay44]

As a Wizards fan I'm psyched. John Wall is likely to be picked #1 and we have quite a bit of cap space.

What's that mean? If it's a reference to being a communist, someone who takes advantage of the privatization of business at the fall of the Soviet Union to become the 30-something most wealthiest person in the world sounds like a pretty big capitalist to me...

[italstallianion]

It doesn't mean anything. It was just too easy to quickly make a cultural reference by bringing up one's nationality. I'm sure anyone can be portrayed as evil when you sum them up in a few quick stereotypes. You're reading too far into it.

[schillingouttheks]

I guess I did. Whoopsies.

[suns]

As a Wizards fan I'm psyched. John Wall is likely to be picked #1 and we have quite a bit of cap space.

 

Some of my friends say Evan Turner will be a superstar and Wall won't and that's why evan turner should go first.

[Flynnatic10]

john wall will be a bust because anything with the word "wall" will stand in 1 place and not do anything

[Jasonbay44]

I don't see how you pass on Wall, he just has so much potential.

[Keeper]

Agreed. Turner could wind up being more of an impact player right away, but Wall's ceiling is much higher.

[msubulldogs21]

Evan Turner is one of the most complete college players I've seen in years and I think he will be a very good pro, but you just can't pass on Wall.

[italstallianion]

MSU, your homeboy Jarvis Varnado went #41 to the Miami Heat.

[msubulldogs21]

MSU' date=' your homeboy Jarvis Varnado went #41 to the Miami Heat.[/quote']

 

Yep. Good for Jarvis. I hope he has a long and successful NBA career. By all accounts one of the all time good guys around. It's a shame the Celtics couldn't get him. We could use someone who can rebound.

[italstallianion]

I wanted the Spurs to get him. I'm happy that we got James Anderson at the 20th pick, but I really wanted Solomon Alabi at 49, and it doesn't help that he got taken IMMEDIATELY thereafter to the Mavericks at 50. F***.

[msubulldogs21]

James Anderson is a very solid pick at #20. Dude is a baller. I remember he was the Arkansas Mr. Basketball in 11th and 12th grade.

Why do the Nuggets hate the NBA draft?
