1. I feel bad for Lamar, unless he did request a trade.
2. I will be the maddest person in the world if the Clippers get Paul, it would be B.S
Looks like that didn't work out. Not sure what the NBA is doing with the Hornets franchise. They turned down a pretty good package from the Lakers and the other team (can't remember the other team involved). No way they get a package like that now, even the Clipper trade was a decent haul for Paul. I still think Paul is destined to be a Laker, I think it will happen...eventually.

The NBA is just asking too much for Paul, thus hurting the Hornets chances of getting a good deal. The Lakers Rockets deal was probably the best deal on the table for the Hornets, but now that offer is off, the season is two weeks away and the hornets don't even have a full roster thanks to the commissioner.
I doubt Chris wants to go to a small market team, which is the reason I believe they aren't pursuing his talents. He was only going to sign a two year contract with the Clippers if the deal had gone through, leading me to believe that he wants to play for another team.
Paul is going to sue the NBA for violating the CBA.
Chris Paul could file a lawsuit "in the next couple of days” charging the NBA, which owns and runs the Hornets, with collusion and violating the league’s collective bargaining agreement. The NBA’s labor deal has an anti-collusion clause that prohibits teams from conspiring with the league to influence contracts, signings or transactions.
If he proceeds, Paul would likely seek doubled monetary damages, along with injunctive relief, meaning he would ask the court to stop the collusion immediately and allow a trade to go through to the Lakers or Clippers.
Both those teams have seen their trade efforts in recent days blocked by the NBA, which is enduring a PR nightmare involving one of its marquee players. While Paul has been practicing with a skeletal team, consisting mainly of D-League caliber players, his representatives, lawyers and officials of the NBA Players Association met for several hours Monday to discuss taking the league to court in an effort to get him out of New Orleans.

That's the way Paul, if you want things done right, you gotta do it yourself!
Except, if he got to choose what team he wanted to go to, would he go to the Lakers, or Clippers?

I bet if Lebron went to the Spurs you would have agreed.
Only if it made sense, so I can't understand the logic you're using here going against my point. lol
My Spurs play too slow for Lebron anyway and we're too interested in winning.

Two interesting games on TNT tonight. Dallas VS OKC at 8:00 and the Knicks VS Lakers at 10:30.

The Bulls had the Heat's number last reg. season, and we all know how that turned out. I don't think that's necessarily indicative of their worth. I think Indiana still has a ways to go before they reach their full potential, and while I haven't seen any details, that Granger injury could set that back.
Like I said, they could. And I don't think many people would pick New York over Indiana to cut the Heat short, and to say the Pacers have NO chance but the Knicks might? That's a stretch. I was just speaking in terms of the Pacers. If I was going to pick one team out of the East (that isn't the Bulls) to upset the Heat .... it'd be Philly. Only other team, besides Bulls n Heat, that sit in the top three in point differential (nearly 10pts). In the entire league. Philly may have had some rough games, but they right in it too.
Just look at Denver at the top of the O line ... team ball. Losing some sub-20 games since the Melo trade. Team ball is huge, and it's becoming the theme of the league. We will see how New York plays with their new-found-savior and with the rest of the team healthy. What about Baron Davis? I know dude is way past his prime, few LBs short of a TNT gig, but if he comes back and is ready like they thought he was gonna be ... this whole Lin thing might fall off a bit and the Knicks may return to mediocrity ... not they've exactly escaped it with Lin ...
And as for Jeremy Lin, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah. Been hearing about this cat for the last couple years, had that big summer league show against John Wall. This cat can ball, there is no doubt, but I do think people are getting a little too high on him. I mean, sheeeit, starts 5 games and essentially leads the Knicks to a 6 game winning streak. That's awesome. That's what it is all about. But I want to see him play a decent squad like the Bulls or Miami. Lakers have been his best comp, for the most part.
Kid has to get those TO's under control as well. And what if Shumpert doesn't poke that ball free and get that 2? Knicks most likely lose that game last night.
But that three .... COLD BLOODED. If anyone says that what this kid is doing isn't "something" special, then they just hating. As a ball fan I dunno how you can't enjoy the story. :cool:

Are you saying that the Knicks are going to ruin Lin's contributions by forcing Baron in there? Hell no son. Baron will likely contribute 10-15 minutes of backup time, which will help a lot. But nothing more.
Fuck Lin.

As long as Lin continues to start, I don't see how the team could be less successful with Baron stepping into the rotation.
Remember when Baron was with Golden State, he thrived in that up and down system. The Knicks most likely new about this and figured he would fit in perfectly with what D'Antony is running there.
I know NY has Stat, Melo, and other good players, but if NY wants to continue to have success under D'Antony offense, Lin has to be the leader of that team. Its hard to run that offense with mediocre point guards. D'Antony had his most successful days here in Phoenix because he had Nash running the offense, simple as that.

Yep, Baron will definitely help the team as long as he is still somewhat like his old self and does not eat up too much of Lin's minutes. I'm just glad Toney Douglas is no longer playing. That guy is one of the worst point guards I've ever seen.
I like the guy. But all the hype and media attention is kind of annoying. I'm all for a nobody to somebody story, but when it's on a sub .500 Knicks team and the guy hasn't faced a top team yet, should calm down a bit. Especially when the Atlantic division leading Sixers continue to be vastly underrated because they play great team ball and don't have that superstar. Doug Collins for coach of the year.

I'm confused with the bold part. Isn't it even more impressive that he's leading a losing team to wins? Not to mention Amare was out and Melo is still out.
I agree with the second part though. The Lakers and Jazz are good teams, but it will be interesting to see how he fairs against a top 5 team.

They should have used the waver on him instead of on Chauncey.
I think the Knicks are going to have a bigger problem implementing Melo into the system, he like to hold the ball on the wing while the rest of the players stand and watch. Thats something that will disrupt the flow of their offense.
Its going to be interesting to watch how they fit him in there. :)
I still have the heat and bulls going to the eastern confrence finals, and also you can't count out the C's if healthy.
They should have used the waver on him instead of on Chauncey.
You want the waiver to be used on Baron? He's being paid the vet minimum. lol
He's a no-risk, high-reward signing. Chauncey was making around $15 million. Waiving him allowed the Knicks to get Tyson.
Unless you were referring to Douglas. But he's not making nearly as much money either.

Yeah I was referring to Douglas, Chauncey is a proven leader and champion, he also is a clutch player hence why they call him "Mr. Big Shot".

Lin was almost dropped for Mike James, to spell the period of Baron's return. Baron was close to returning, and word had it that people were actually thinking he might be able to do something ... not the regular, "shoot, BD looks like he contracted a VD and sat on the couch eating Ice Cream all off-season." But the, "hey, I guess when you think about dude has been on some bad teams since his Golden State Glory Days, and he seems to be serious after that clip / cav stint ... " Dude was supposed to be prepared, and even if dude played like he did the last two seasons I still think he could thrive in this NY system. It's coach D, it's the PG ... do you really think Jeremy Lin could start on, at the most, 5 other teams?
If so, I'd like to hear. I'm not dogging Jeremy Lin, but this is 6 games, 5 against mediocre teams. They have yet to play some real competition. I want to give them the LA benefit of the doubt, but Fish is old, tired and not as quick as he used to be. Jeremy worked him, that was awesome .... I admit that. I loved it. I hate the effing Lakers. LOL Sorta. I dunno, Heat take that top honor ....
Anywho;
I repeat, had Iman Shumpert not jacked that rock and netted that 2 with 1:30 left .... that game doesn't end on that Lin shot. But, at the same time, the Toronto game is almost the most impressive ... huge 4th for him and he had 2 big 3 point plays down the stretch. Not to mention the Knicks as a whole battled back, but still. It's little things like that. I could look, but I won't, but I believe the Knicks play the Bulls mid-March. If someone doesn't do it by then, well, Rose will make this cat look silly.
_edit_
I will say, Baron Davis did look in amazing shape the last I had seen him on the screen, but not sure how he is supposed to be shape wise this year. I mean, seriously, apparently this cat was supposed to come out balling. I do love this Lin story and I don't want them to, or expect them to, break it all up .... but this cat gives up some silly turnovers and in one of those games he scored 20+ (wait, all of them right? lol) but he couldn't hit water from the edge of the ocean in one of the 4th quarters. Dude is young, he is showing that he should have been taken seriously before, but I seriously hope that all this hype doesn't get to his head. NY Is a big market ... they embrace you before they stab you in the back.
I say this; full week after the AS break and we'll see where this whole thing is going, complete with Melo and Co. being back. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Yeah I was referring to Douglas, Chauncey is a proven leader and champion, he also is a clutch player hence why they call him "Mr. Big Shot".
But using the amnesty on Douglas would be silly. You can only do it once per CBA and Douglas is not making much money. And using the amnesty on Chauncey got the Knicks a center, and now they have both Lin and Baron at PG. So it looks like the right move.

Plenty of Knick fans are grateful for Shump's defense. Of course Lin isn't the entire team. And yes, Lin VS Rose will be interesting. You're a Bulls fan, right?

Granger wasn't the only with an injury, I don't know if Chalmers is still ok from that awkward maneuver during the second quater. I respect with how the Pacers are going, they just need to be more stronger in both ends and that's about it. Granger and Hibbert will be beasting at both ends. Hansborogh and Armusson to me are key pieces.
Just remember this though, Miami has been blowing out teams too but we don't have a complete roster yet and by time we will continue upgrading.

I guess what I meant was, if it came down to crunch time at the end of the reg. season ... last two weeks of utmost importance .... I don't think it'd be that crazy to plug Baron, the vet - the man who has been there - into the starting spot. I dunno, I just don't think that'd be that crazy. Dude was supposed to be ready, but who really knows these days with "The Baron." I'm not suggesting he'd steal Lin's 40 minutes either ...
So I see the Knicks are now .500, looking like they should be able to lock that last spot up. I dunno, I want to believe that Milwaukee won't make a final push, but if they do .... do you see the Knicks starting Lin at the point for every single game out, no matter how important they are? Obviously Baron doesn't have his spot locked, waiting for him when he returns ... but, whatever - in time.I will admit I had to check the box score after hearing he only scored 10 .... was expecting a 3-14 or something. :snicker But 4-6 and 13 assists? He's already prepping for Melo. :eek: Good sign. Lin doesn't need to put up 20, and 25 minutes sounds better than 40.
And, yes, a Bulls fan.

And it's nice to see Hibbert actually playing up to his potential.And I still think Miami is the only team Chicago needs to worry about. I expect both teams to make it to the ECF. I know they'll continue to add, tweak and better that roster ... but even presently, they are one of the scariest teams in sports.
No mention of my Spurs? Manu told Lin to "Come at me,bro." :lol:Will be in Austin, Texas at the end of the month and gonna try to get to that Bulls v Spurs game! Hopefully. lol Glad Manu is on the return. This amnesty clause talk .... don't even get me started. *cough*Boozer*cough*

Physical ability only allows the contestants to do so many different kinds of dunks. So now they resort to props and what-not. The dunk contest really isn't a sustainable event, since it's about creativity, but it's constrained by physical limits.
Aaaaand JR Smith to the Knicks. Wow.
And once Baron and Jorts return, the Knicks will actually be a very deep team all of the sudden. Of course the only worry is JR's attitude problem. Hopefully he's matured.

I am reconsidering my comment about New York not having a legit chance to upset someone or make it out the first round. If they can get right on both ends of the floor and this JR Smith signing doesn't backfire ... hey now.

They hyped up that dunk so much, but it was actually the lamest dunk of the entire contest. It was essentially Blake just dunking from four feet within the free throw line. lol
But since they hyped it up so much, people just voted for it anyway. SMH
IMO its nothing amazing when guys well over 6 ft are dunking that way. You take their height and throw in their arm reach above their heads, they really don't have to put much effort in dunking on a 10 ft basket. Now raise it 2 or 3 more ft and lets see who really have the hops. I'd rather see a guy who is only 6ft or under dunk. To me that is much more impressive.

I think the Chicago Bulls are showing how good of a team they really are. They are winning games without the MVP of the league.

Yeah I should have realized that when you said you were watching all the Heat games. lol
And the Knicks lost? I have been avoiding the hoops news as them Bulls didn't play tonight, and right you are about them keeping it up. It's amazing how they bring damn near everyone back from last year, yet everyone (we ain't talking about Boozer here) has really added to their game. Ronnie Brewer has been HUGE and Korver has been playing some SOLID defense. Deng just being Deng. Lucas has been a spark when they needed him and how about Mike James playing solid ball when they give him time? Taj and Omer showing that they could start on nearly half of these teams. It's crazy.
The thing is though ... and it's sort of the running joke amongst the Bulls faithful ... the only person standing in the way of a Bulls championship is Thibodeau. Sounds like Rose is nearly there, but those 40+ minute games when they have the W locked up? Uggh. Same with Deng, his game back after successfully avoiding surgery ... was something like almost 40 minutes. Deng is a warrior, sure, but man he gonna run these cats into the ground!
I did want to watch that Knicks game, Vasquez and Lin .... and apparently this game was supposed to be on ESPN tonight? Was scrapped a couple weeks ago for the Philly / Dallas game? SMDH

True, D'Antoni's system needs that proper point. I was teasing about the dub though ... his line;
26 points - 8/18 - 2/5 behind the arc - 8/10 FT
5 assists
4 steals (word!)
9 GOT DAYUM TURNOVERS! That has to stop.
+/- was a -8
I think you have to give the kid a pass on his TOs ... he is young and there have been a few instances where he does seem to take some chances that a player with a couple more years under the belt wouldn't. That said, from what I've seen (seems like a lot, can't get away from it all) he obviously has crazy awareness and ball IQ.

Yeah those TO's definitely have to turn around. Give em time though, like you said hes young... not only that but he went from sitting at end of the bench to playing starter minutes so those TO's don't surprise me, but definitely needs to address that issue.

Thing is, Boozer can't play D. Can't even pretend to. You see Korver actually playing some decent D compared to last year, but Boozer seems to have gone in the opposite direction. I know he is a small big, never known for his D, but shit. He is the one player on this squad that can't defend anyone. That one glaring flaw is the sole reason this trade probably doesn't go down. I want to believe it can.

“I wish management would come out and either trade him or not trade him,” Bryant said crisply after the Lakers’ 102-90 loss Sunday. “It’s just tough for a player to give his all when you don’t know if you’re going to be here tomorrow. I’d rather them not trade him at all, but if they’re going to do something, I wish they would just … do it.”
Bryant sympathized with Gasol, sprinkling in expletives while talking about the situation of the four-time All-Star.
“If they’re not going to do it, come out and say you’re not going to do it,” Bryant said. “This way, he can be comfortable and go out and can perform and play and he can invest all of himself into the game. You can’t have one of our pillars not knowing if he’s going to be here or not. Do something. One way or another, do something.”
“He’s been the consummate professional,” Bryant said. “He’s going out and he’s trying to do what he can. But let’s be real. If you didn’t know you were going to be here tomorrow, if your head’s on the chopping block … it’s tough to put all of yourself into the game.”

Ah True 07 they took it from LBJ now that I recall, dunno what i was thinking. And yeah it sure seems that way, they've had great seasons and then bad postseasons. Think its the nagging injuries and age. That organization is top notch though, they'll always contend imo.

And I don't blame Kobe for saying something, think that's quite admirable, considering, but I don't have a problem with the FO (or any, for that matter) letting it be known about possibly moving someone. Little push in the back. If Gasol wants to stay, use that as motivation. Gasol can be a force, but at times he has been too soft, too often. What about the tail end of last season? Who knows if that off the court stuff really was bothering him, but if it was? Hell, I wouldn't want someone on my team that couldn't separate the two. I know we all human, but when you a grown man being paid millions of dollars ...
I dunno, maybe a cynical view on the modern day athlete ... but, still, these people act like they don't have to go out and prove their worth daily. Or nightly. Or every other day. Or every other night.

This is a big reason why Boozer is alienating Bulls faithful. You have a team that is built around defense. Boozer is the one odd man out. It's frustrating because that dude has a post game seen by few in this league.

To answer your first question: Yes, Joakim and Asik, they aren't the All-Star type but they're legit at Center. Why? Rebounding was the main reason we gave up to that huge lead. Chicago has the BEST quality of players. You saw how we came back to ALMOST tieing the game? ECF Game 5 flash back? Ok, that's how Miami is going to run. Who's Joel Anthony? A shot block defensive type. He doesn't have the strength to fight back. Miami's Bench wasn't there, neither in the game against Orlando. Yes, we lost to their bench.

lol, Noah and Asik are not legit centers at all! That is like saying Will Perdue was a legit center. And the Heat almost came back to beat the Bulls bench....... The Heat never should have needed to come back. The Bulls 3rd string guard made the Heat look like crap. That game was very important for Miami and they could not defeat the Bulls when they were missing the league MVP.
The Bulls are the best team in the NBA because they play TEAM basketball. I lost count at how many times a Bulls player dove for the ball.

The Bulls do play TEAM ball. The center position doesn't always have to be about rebounding, blocking shots and every thing else. It's the size that they bring to the court that matters the most. Which was the reason why the Celtics would have killed the Heat last year if they didn't trade away Perkins or had a healthy Shaq.
Joakim averaged last season a double double, plus his size matters too. He's 6'11, with his shoes, he's 7'0. His wings are big too, just look at those biceps.

You don't think Jo has enough muscle? He definitely bulked up, turned muscle in his years with the Bulls. Even last year you could tell. Jo will never have Howard's arms, shoulders. But he doesn't need it. He's strong enough and can bang with almost anyone in the paint. Now if he is going to start working on a post game (which he isn't) then maybe I think he could do with more work.
And Lu isn't that bad with the ball in his hands, hardly the worst ball handler on the team (Korver). I mean, it may not be the smoothest, prettiest handling of the rock, but I think his length is what makes it look more "awkward" than anything. And if we're making fun of ANYONE on the Bulls that runs funny ... hands down it is Ronnie.
And I could maybe understand someone not liking Noah, due to his attitude, but he isn't demonstrative like KG. He is just a high intensity dude. Lot of cats like that in the league. Either way, you can't deny this dude is a total team player, hustles his a** off. I want people like that on my team. They change games. They bring it night in, night out. He's also one of the better rebounding bigs in the league and is easily one of the best passing bigs. I will say I get sick of seeing him holstering the guns after hitting just one 13 footer ... but whatever. Something we can live with. :D
And Deng? What is there to dislike about Lu? Besides, apparently, the way he runs ... :lol:
And I'm glad to see the Knicks rolling. Coach was a big problem and obviously Melo was another issue, but coach had to go before you really take a look at Melo and your options. Now, obviously, we're only into a few games after the shift ... but things looking up. Big WTF with Portland too ... such high hopes going into the year and shit just crashed. Literally. With Crash going to NJ. Gerald has an option coming up, I hope for the sake of the game that he uses it and goes somewhere he really wants to play. That dude has been a pro's pro through the years, if anyone has earned it ....
Dwight Howard... :lol:

At first I was against them losing Noah in a deal, but it makes sense. Losing Deng wouldn't make sense at all as you eluded to for real. Dwight needs to stop being bitch made and continue trying to create a dynasty in Orlando. Don't go the Lebron route to try and manufacture a ring. It isn't going to work as noted!

Spurs doing it again. What a team, organization. Still can't believe some folks don't love Pop. What'd he say the other night? To the keys to the game? "It's all bullshit, make it up and say I said it." :lol:
Him and Thibs, neck and neck. I'd like to see Pop get it, but it'd be a damn shame if Thibs doesn't make history.
Btw, why on earth would you trade Deng away to get Dwight Howard? He should stay.. If you really want him then Noah/Boozer.
I agree, but at the same time Deng is going to be part of any major trade that gets swung. And is part of the reason you won't see that major trade get made. Especially for a guy like Howard. Bulls have put too much effort into assembling a team with arguably the best chemistry in the league. Outside of Derrick, no one else is "safe." But, should there be one, Deng is the guy you have to try to hang on to. I love Jo, but it's no contest.
The Bulls game was amazing.. exactly the reason Dwight would never fit in.. he's too much of a Diva. Imagine if he was put on the bench the dying moments.
The Bulls bench beating the "Big Three" ... what can you say, brilliant efforts by CJ Watson, Korver, Asik, Deng etc..

As for Artest and his impending suspension ... he isn't quite the player of yesterday so I don't think he'd be terribly missed in the lineup. Still, pulling that shit right as the playoffs are about to kick off? Shit. Guess this dude isn't as far along as he appeared to be.

Going to be a fun run. I'm not sure we'll see any sweeps, but if I had to pick one it'd be San Antonio. Since I'm giving Philly one, I'm throwing one at Utah. My "surprise" pick will be the Nuggets, but I don't think that'd be all that shocking.

Lakers kept pretty much a 10 point lead the whole game, no matter what OKC did and I thought they were good to win. Glad OKC won and hopefully can finish it at home! Kobe, you better join ya boy on TNT!!

This is why I don't really take the NBA seriously. Are they watching the same shit I am? This Pacers/Heat series is a football game. Clothslines and throat chops, this shit is ridiculous. They should find the Refs for not calling this bullshit on both sides. But I do see one side doing it more than the other. I just hope it goes 7 games.

Really looking forward to Spurs v OKC, what a series that will be. Heat v Pacers getting really physical, can't see the Pacers taking it though.

Two years in a row, lakers out in the second round. Smh, that team needs new players. In the last couple games only Kobe and Gasol tried, especially Kobe. Gasol proved that he is still dependable, but only when kobe purposely announces how poor he does. Also, im very disappointed in bynum. He had one maybe two decent playoff games. But all in all he never showed. In some games, he did very well in the first half, then the lakers switched tactics and he never got the ball in the second half. Stick to what works!, am i right? Bynum needs to gather himself, idc if he is phenomenal in the regular season, its the playoffs that counts. Also, the lakers need a new bench, its pathetic, theres so much to say about it, but you can see whats wrong with their bench by it's performance. Then Kobe tried to hard in the OKC series. He took unnecessary shots, I know that he wants to win, but sometimes he needs to be a better team player. Lastly, the Lakers need a new point guard. Kobe and Bynum cant do everything. They need a good point gaurd that is a play maker, is good under pressure, and isn't scared to shoot (and is also a good shooter)

Eh! It's a Wesmore sighting! The Lakers problem is that they thought their "shit" didn't stink. Thought they could coast in the series and found out the hard way. Mike brown and his vanilla coaching didn't help them much either. Bynum won't be a Laker next year nor should he. His attitude towards the game makes you think he doesn't care. But then again, I love when the Lakers face hardships. I hate them so.
Looks like the Heat finally showed up after 6 games. Showed that the Pacers were really too young and out of their league. Wade just went too ridiculous on them kids and showed them why he has a ring already. But hopefully, it all comes to an end with Boston going to the show to ultimately get dealt with by the Spurs. Regardlesss if my team wins it all or not, rest assured the NBA finals are OKC vs. SA. :lol:

Same here. I think that this is gonna be the last run for the Celtics for awhile, so I'd like to see them have a good run at least. Also I think Boston could beat the Heat in a 7 game series. What do you guys think?

Now with Avery Bradley out of the picture, Dooling has to step up for them. Also, if Kevin Garnett stays consistent then they can compete against the Heat. If Kevin plays like last post season, then the Heat are going back to the Finals.

I know you're an avid Heat fan. But the fact of the matter is this.. No one in the east can or will beat either of the remaining two teams left in the West. That's just facts my nig. I can't even take the Heat seriously anymore after they lost to them frauded Mavs last year. They are the biggest fluke champions I've seen in a very long time. And it's because the Heat can't handle the pressure.
Even to my dismay, I got the Heat beating Boston. I think Boston can win, but they ultimately won't because father time waits for no man. The Spurs can get away with such things because only Nobli and Duncan are ancient. lol! But we're gonna win it all anyway.
Duncan 5 Rings 4 Finals MVP's? YES PLEASE!

The Conference Finals starts tonight with:
Thunder @ Spurs
& tomorrow
Celtics @ Heat
My prediction will be
Heat in 6
and
Spurs in 6
How the heck did it disappear just like that? :( Horrible error.. whoever did it...

That's pretty lame to whoever did that! And I want my post back, potna! Now with that out of the way, as noted before the two series will go as followed...
1) Spurs in 6
2) Heat in 7 (As much as I believe Boston can beat them, don't think it'll happen)
I got the Spurs in 6 and the Heat in 6 (unless Chris bosh comes back in a few days).

Well, I wouldn't underestimate the Heat nor the Celtics. Yeah, the Spurs are playing incredible basketball and may win their 5th title (I have Parker winning his second FMVP if they win). I'm already hearing Chris Bosh may return for the Finals if they get there. At the moment though, the only team that you will only compete with are the Miami Heat.

I believe they don't use that group anymore and started a new one called SportsMemes.
Scared? Nope, Nervous...Yeah, Rondo definitely didn't get that final call.
I respect the Spurs and I know they can win it all. I believe nobody shouldn't underestimate the Heat nor the Celtics. If you know what I mean, you'd have watched Game 2 today.
Wesmore, your Lakers needs a consistent offensive shooter if they want to come out of the second round. Gasol and Bynum should stay and hope you get Lamar again. If the Lakers would've signed Caron Butler and try to get another solid shooter. The Lakers will be tougher than what they were in 2010.

If Chris Bosh comes back for the Heat they match up pretty well against the Spurs. If he doesn't it'll be extremely tough to beat the Spurs. The Heat's defense is a lot better than OKC's and offensively they can put up a lot of points.

What's more of a shame is the fact the Heat can play WWE matches and get away with it. But they're going to own Boston regardless of the fact, but its still absurd and lame. Spurs got super dealt with by the Thunder. I was telling my grandfather I'm not as confident as I was game 1. Towards the end of game 2, their defense (OKC) started getting tighter on my Spurs. I expect this loss tonight as this is OKC's Superbowl. I still believe the Spurs will take the series in 6, but man, OKC was ON last night.

Miami missed 10 freethrows, Shane was 0-6 and 0-4. And the Heat a bad second quarter. To end up bring that 22pt lead back to 7 and only to lose by 10. Crazy. The Refs were hard on our this time lol.

Boston certainly didn't do themselves any favors though, to lose the lead they had through out 3 quarters and then in OT, to not take advantage of rebounds Pietrus got them. Would have taught them a lesson if they lost, still not bad for a bunch of "old guys"...

I knew those adjustments from game 2 was going to bite us in the ass. Scott Brooks makes one fucking move and we can't stop it. This is depressing. But I'm not going to panic.

My thoughts exactly for the Eastern Conference Finals. The officiating is being ridiculous all of the sudden. It's ruining the series for the both teams. The Heat definitely look like they have control but I got admit they are not alive in first half which doesn't surprise me. I wanted to see San Antonio in Finals though :(

I'm starting to think this shit is fixed. Spurs and Heat dominated both games at home. Then the road teams make adjustments and go on power surges to take 3-2 leads. Now if both the Spurs and Heat win out, I know the fix is in. I just don't believe in coincidences like that. But regardless, just fix it for the Spurs to win!
