At least i've had something to get into since the regular season ended.

What, Derrick Rose's ass?

goddamn.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Your team struggled against a bad team, and Rose looked like shit doing it, you really want to get into this?

He won the first 2 games, hit the winning shot in the 3rd and took over the close-out game...

Oh wait, I didn't see it was you.

If only dIRon would toughen up on the court, like he does refusing to listen to coaches, he may dominate one day as well.

Gave up on coach, gave up on new team, kind of shameful.

 

[Black Mamba]

I think most of these are credit to Jerry for being a tough negotiator, for not willing to give the max while still keeping the players happy. Don't forget Fisher and Artest's contracts are very reasonable too, and I'd bet most teams would resign Farmer to a bad contract just for the sake of not breaking up a championship core.

When Jerry passes away or goes senile, it will be a real worry since his sons are dumb asses.

Welp just finished watching the draft, time to watch this game. Who picked it up for the Mavs, because last time I looked they were down by like 12 I think.

 

[charsace]

Kobe's the one who told everyone that Kobe wouldn't play for them.

Because West talk him into it.

 

[reilo]

Awful second quarter.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

What, Derrick Rose's ass?

The ironic thing is, you mention Rose likely more than any Bulls' fan does.

He's your new Rondo, both better than your irrelevant buttbrother for life(who ironically again assfucked your franchise).

holy fuck Maverricks...

Terry beastin

What, Derrick Rose's ass?

I could be a minute man and still last longer than DWill in the playoffs.

 

[Pkaz01]

wow that went to shit for the blazers

 

[Darkman M]

Portland blew teh load.

 

[Black Mamba]

Terry with a Daggah!

Sorry Portland, but this looks really bad going into the 2nd half, unless Wallace can come back.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Blazers won't come back. Dirk wants this to be over.

 

[brianjones]

this ones over if wallace isnt coming back

I like her. Does she still make those vids?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Oh, Blazers.

Outscored 33-16 in the 2nd quarter?

This one's over. I called Dallas in 7. Guess I didn't give the Mavs enough credit.

 

[zero margin]

Bleak is having to pay Hedo Turkoglu and Gilbert Arenas over $96 million the next three years.

ok you got me there. Ouch.

Lol you Bulls fans are just terrible at this.

Yes, but only with Phil.

... game 4 was not even a week ago. Although Roy looks human tonight.

 

[zero margin]

Mavs finished on a 30-10 run. Wheeler sounded ill.

 

[Branduil]

I told you guys we'd end it in the swamp.

 

[Cubsfan23]

RIP Portland

 

[dallow_bg]

Oh yay, found a stream!
Get to watch at least the second half.

 

[THRILLH0]

Lol you Bulls fans are just terrible at this.

Sure mate. You're the one that feels the need to make shit personal every time. Get a life, it's fucking sad the way you latch onto people.

 

[SamuraiX-]

I told you guys we'd end it in the swamp.

Be honest, are you gonna implode if it's Dallas vs. LA in the 2nd round?

 

[Black Mamba]

I told you guys we'd end it in the swamp.

You ready to take out the Mavs in round 2? Jason Terry doesn't have much help on that team, so Lakers should roll 'em.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I told you guys we'd end it in the swamp.

You make a shitty Lakers' fan, at least you were amusing "cheering" on your terrible team.

 

[Darkman M]

I told you guys we'd end it in the swamp.

Do you see us beating the Mavs next series?

 

[ghostofsparta]

I wouldn't bet on the Mavs winning tonight just yet. Lets not forget what happened a few days ago.

But damn I sure hope so.

Let's take a look at the events of the past two games. When the Heat failed to close out Game 4 against Philadelphia, the overwhelming majority of the blame was placed on LeBron after he had a potential game-tying floater blocked on the Heat's final possession. This was the case even though Wade had missed a pull-up jumper one possession earlier and had two 3s drained right in his face. The outcry was unanimous: Wade should have taken the last shot.

Of course, Wade is 0-5 in last-shot situations this season, but every one of those shots was apparently impressive enough to make LeBron's failed floater particularly egregious.

When the Heat actually managed to win a close one in Game 5, there were some issues with Wade's performance in the waning minutes of the game. After he missed on an out-of-control layup attempt that Chris Bosh rebounded and drew a foul on, Wade received a technical foul for taking issue with the non-call.

Think about that for a second: In a one-possession game, Wade cost his team a point for arguing that he should be shooting free throws instead of his teammate, who happens a better free throw shooter.

Later in the game, with the final seconds ticking off the clock and the 76ers declining to foul, Wade punctuated the series with an uncontested dunk that Spencer Hawes would later call "bush league." It was the kind of behavior that becomes an instant controversy with LeBron, but it was a non-issue with Wade, just like the technical foul.

Imagine, just for a second, what the reaction would have been if James had been whistled for the technical, then thrown in that salt-in-the-wound dunk to end the series. While the power of winning as the ultimate deodorant should never be underestimated, I can't imagine that those things would have been complete non-issues if James had done them.

lol sucks to be you lebron

Louisiana? Oh you're a laker fan now.

 

[Branduil]

You ready to take out the Mavs in round 2? Jason Terry doesn't have much help on that team, so Lakers should roll 'em.

You can't count out Portland yet, but either way, the second round shouldn't go longer than six. Portland looks a lot worse than they did before the playoffs, and Dallas is still Dallas.

 

[Resilient]

I wouldn't bet on the Mavs winning tonight just yet. Lets not forget what happened a few days ago.

But damn I sure hope so.

This.

I expect a massive implosion from Branduil if Mavs make it through and we end up with LAL v DAL. Damn, Western conference.

 

[diehard]

Sure mate. You're the one that feels the need to make shit personal every time. Get a life, it's fucking sad the way you latch onto people.

Personal? Lol who got Personal? You too salty bro.

I just noticed Atlanta won. How much hatemail is that columnist getting right now?

I don't get it, whats wrong with LAL vs DAL?

 

[dream]

lol sucks to be you lebron

He's right. Wade blows as much as Lebron does but he doesn't get any flak for it because his decision wasn't televised.

 

[JoeFu]

You don't know about lifelong Lakers branduils hate for the Mavs?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I don't get it, whats wrong with LAL vs DAL?

Conflict of interest, he's a phony fan of both.

 

[THRILLH0]

Personal? Lol who got Personal? You too salty bro.

All the LLL shit is old dude. Now "lol your dick in Rose's ass!!!1!"

It's annoying to come and post positively in support of my team only for people like you to respond with the equivalent of "derp you only started watching teh basketball 2 weeks ago".

I've been lurking this thread for years so I know there's an antagonistic tone that's pretty much accepted here but some people take it too far. I try to keep my posts basketball related but half your shtick is questioning people's credentials to post anonymously on a videogame forum. I ain't salty man, i'm just tired of your bullshit.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

He's right. Wade blows as much as Lebron does but he doesn't get any flak for it because his decision wasn't televised.

I think a lot of that as well is that LeBron is talked about as being the best player in the league moreso than Wade.

The best players are supposed to close out games.

Personally, I think Wade is better but that's irrelevant.

Wade just wanted to ice the game, heat were only up by 4 at that point, Phili could have stole the ball and got a 4pt play.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Kobe #6 all time? I'm no hater, but that's too high.
