NBA '08 Playoff Thread

Lexington High has one of our state's top basketball programs. Conference champs every year, record ranging from 17-3 to 19-1, able to compete with the city schools. And every March, as sure at St. Patrick's day, they lose in state tournament to Central Catholic. Nobody knows why, but CC just has hoodoo on the home town team.
So it is with the Suns and Spurs. After gacking away Game 1, Phoenix knew it was done, and so it is. Shaq is still valuable, but he's not able to rally anybody past their collective neuroses anymore.

 

Maybe the grossest thing ever typed on SportsJournalists.com

And, I'd have to agree. The Spurs look awful good. I'm a Laker fan, but I just don't know if the Lakers are healthy or experienced enough just yet. Now, if Bynum were back and healthy, it'd be a different story. That Laker team would just be too much, I think. But I think the Spurs look like they have one more run in them.

 

The Sheed romance amongst true Pistons fans ended when he couldn't get his ass over to cover Robert Horry on that inbound pass late in Game 5 of the '05 Finals.
After that, he's barely showed up, gotten technical after technical in terrible situations and pretty much ran his mouth without ever backing it up.
I personally wanted him moved last year.

 

And let us not forget about how he STILL bitches constantly after MULTIPLE league rules have been altered or outright scrapped/added for his success. We finally saw someone call an illegal free throw on his fat ass last night, the Shaq circle's been added and they've made it so you can't foul his fat ass during the final two minutes of a game because he refuses to learn how to make a free throw consistently.
"I'll hit them when they matter," he always says ... news flash douchebag ... they're free, and free always matters.

 

You, my friend, are no rube.

 

This Atlanta shot clock debacle is a joke.

 

Come on BB, surely that's not the reason why your Celts are down 10 heading into the fourth?

 

Yeah, I hope that's not the excuse, considering they've also turned of the Hawks' so neither team has the advantage.

 

Celts getting a little exposed here from an athletic standpoint. They're missing shots and not getting back.
They need to finish strong win or lose here, and minimize any momentum Atlanta might take into Game 4. They've clearly awoken.
Oh and PS to Doc Rivers, get Cassell the hell out of there ... good God.

Nice.

 

They took the game off. It happens, even in springtime.
