NBA '08 Playoff Thread

No. None, unless someone goes off for 45+ for the Celtics.

 

I'm guessing Ray will be wearing the white sleeve Friday night. I think that was new and it certainly worked.

 

keep beating each other up Eastern conference teams. Lakers need to seal the deal tomorrow night.

 

Certainly more relivant than your question, which has nothing to do with anything.

 

Let's all store this one away for when everyone decides to say Garnett doesn't show up in big games at some point down the road.

 

You're right, and now back to the game tonight...

 

Why the WWL has ruined sports, Chapter 338: Yes, this was a good game. But it wasn't, as Stuart Scott just said, "One of the best games you'll ever see."

It wasn't even close to that. Name one defining play made down the stretch. Just one, I beg you.

It was a fine game and a very important game. But because it was on ESPN, Stuart Scott had to overblow it by 17 and a half miles.

 

My thoughts exactly when I heard that O_T.

 

I think so. Celtics are playing well enough to win on the road again. I can see it ending Friday.

 

I hope you're right, but it sure won't be easy. I think the nature of this series has shown that the previous game has no bearing on the next, at least not for the winning team. C's have won 1, 3 and 5; Pistons 2 and 4.

 

We can store it all away for the way he showed up in the first three quarters -- but he and the rest of them were passing up shots, turning the ball over and shitting their pants again late.
The Celtics played fantastic for three quarters again, but they have GOT to find a way to keep the piss from running down their legs when the opposition makes a run late. They just can't seem to ever put the final bullet in Detroit's head. If they'd have finished this off and won by 20, then no doubt it'd be over in six. Now, I really don't know. And do you really want to let this bunch hang around with a chance to steal G7 and ruin your season because you couldn't put the death blow on when you needed to?

 

The Celtics looked scared in the last 5 mins on offense. Somebody show Rondo how to make a bounce pass, that floater looks like something my 8 yr. old was throwing in his games this year.

Mark Jackson called that "the worst pick and roll basketball I've ever seen." The Celtics seemed to run the pick and roll just to go through the motions without any clue as to what to get out of it, is it a Garnett jumper at the elbow? Why doesn't he roll down the lane like Amare?

Nice to see Allen show what I saw from the 5th row last year, one of the sweetest, purest shots in the past 20 years. Too bad he can't dribble worth a damn now.
