NBA '08 Playoff Thread

Having read Simmmons' column today (a painfully truthful one at that) I'd love to see what hypothetical he would come up with for Rivers' halftime speech because it's like this team flipped a switch. Pierce just dunked for the first since about January and it came off of a good pass from Garnett -- in other words the type of plays they executed on a nightly basis all season before ditching their unselfish style in the playoffs.

Cassell starts almost every fourth quarter. NOT TONIGHT Doc. Rondo is your best PG by miles. He's 23 or so. He won't be tired, let the damn kid play.

 

LeBron scores 2 on 1-for-6 shooting in the third quarter.

Way to bring it, Your Highness. If your shot suddenly doesn't fall, you've got to at least get to the free-throw line.

Zero FT attempts in the third.

 

Varajo's inability to hit from the line is killing the Cavs. Celtics are mugging him instead of letting him get those backdoor layup and it's proving to be a good idea.

 

How about the chick with the yellow shirt on behind the Cavs basket? Great set of cans.

 

Here's my question and it's about 75% genuine: Do these guys who flop do it in practice you think? Or can they just turn it on during games? I wonder because it seems so natural for these guys, yet it would probably be annoying to teammates if you're flopping around in practice with no refs.

 

Indeed. Nice eye candy, particularly in HD.

 

I'd hope they just turn it on. I can't see Manu flopping around on the deck when Ian Mahinmi drives down the lane in practice.

Rajon Rondo is playing his persimmons off. He indeed is the MVP of this game so far, boston.

 

Crap. Wish I was DVRing this one. Can't see her too well on our office TV.

 

LeBron's mom?

 

I know it's not over, but somehow in the second half LeBron morphed back into the early series LeBron. Watch him score 15 points in the next five minutes now, but I'm pretty surprised that he's cooled off like this.

 

Wow Delonte West ... you just looked like a 5-year-old girl dribbling in a YMCA league right there.

 

Our TV is a 13-incher in the office, but they still looked nice.

I have a feeling LeBron isn't quite done in this game.
