So IF the thunder lose tonight...do the Grizzlies become the team you officially don't want to see in the playoffs? People compare them to GS, but after that first round GS was clearly outclassed. The grizz? I really don't know. If a few balls go their way, they could beat the Mavs. I think.

 

[SUPREME1]

Bunch of us rooted for the Lakers to beat Magic during those finals.

Why??

 

[DJ88]

Can't believe James missed that shot.

 

[Karakand]

Lakers-age: Am I mentally ill for hoping that Boston beats Miami in this series?

I would say you probably started watching the Lakers around the mid-90s (at the very earliest) and that you hate workers' self-management but that's about it.

 

[giri]

have a link? can't watch the game right now anyway.

At work, but I've only read ESPN this morning, so it must be somewhere on there. Though i did end up on the ESPN Boston site, and fuck it felt dirty.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Bosh's midrange shot is gone. Dude needs to do something else with the ball.

 

[Sanjuro]

Why??

- Lakers were the better team.
- Respect level.
- More motivation to step up our game for the upcoming season.
- Magic weren't a very likable team.

Its a team built for the play offs. If they had gay back, he'd help their spacing so much too. He was shooting a good clip from the 3 before the injury.

I know they regularly beat the suns over the last 2 or 3 years.

Yeah I really have no clue what happened to him. Now every time he pulls up for a jumper I cringe.

Yeah there's nothing there about a tear, only that MRI's are negative.

 

[Bread]

Just checking in here quick, the Celtics have been getting some favorable calls, Rondo looks fine, and Bosh looks lethargic.

 

[SUPREME1]

Your thoughts on how the Lakers should move forward, Kara?

Haven't seen you in a while.

 

[Lkr]

why? I think I would cheer for the Mavs against you guys in the finals lol

edit: nvm realized you already responded haha

 

[alr1ght]

Craig Sager said torn ligaments.

 

[reilo]

smh. How's that not a foul on Lebron? You're a) not allowed to reach-in like that and b) not allow to trip someone.

 

[Lkr]

This is true, I'm not as old as you guys
08 still leaves a sour taste in my mouth though, and the rivalry means so much to me now, ever since it was renewed in 2008. I think I would rather have the Celtics win the title over Miami though. Miami just seems to be everything that is wrong with basketball(and, like most people, I liked KG and Ray Ray before they were on Boston)

Celtics fans hate the Lakers but still respect them.

 

[Nelo Ice]

id only want them to win if it meant that the lakers were the ones taking them down in the finals

 

[Jin34]

But Bread said we were getting favorable call lol

 

[StickSoldier]

Wow, I know Rondo can't shoot, but I love seeing a PG pass instead of shoot all the time.

 

[Lkr]

I think you can respect a team even if you root against them though.

Rondo is playing mind games with the Heat though. This will fuck them over I think

 

[The M.O.B]

IraHeatBeat Ira Winderman

Carlos Arroyo constantly up off Celtics bench signaling Heat plays to his teammates.

POS

 

[Jin34]

I guess Riley's speech was about how to play dirty.

 

[dream]

Holy shit, Chalmers just tried to finish the job Wade started.

How can anyone cheer for these cocksuckers?

 

[giga]

Too cute.

 

[Vestal]

thats dirty?!?! LOL

Thats what they were supposed to do last game. Pressure rondo make him uncomfortable.

 

[Lkr]

Shaq just learned that putting your arms up is a foul

We are just bred differently, we are just less hateful. Magic again really weren't a likable team so I didn't see much of a reason to root for them. Not to mention they were terrible.

 

[Spooks]

smh not a foul

 

[Jin34]

Bump him to do the ground is pressuring? Just like takedowns are accidental right?

 

[Sanjuro]

Heat fans should at least Wikipedia "Basketball" before they start watching games.

 

[dream]

Too cute.

All we need is

in the middle.

 

[Vestal]

lol that was a rub.. Look at the replay, Rondo was doing his own pushing aswell.

 

[xnipx]

Can we get a lebron and wade pick and roll for once in life? I wanna see d west switch onto Bron

 

[The M.O.B]

Players get bumped to the ground every single game, Chalmers is supposed to feel sorry for Rondo?

Plus that's a trademark Chalmers stupid foul, he does that every game.

[Bread]

Yeah so? One no-call erases those ticky tack calls from earlier?

The calls (and non-calls) the Celtics were getting earlier are like what the Heat got at home in the first 2 games.

 

[Lkr]

I love LeBron

"FOUL!?!?!? WHAT!??!!?!? ALL I DID WAS LOWER MY SHOULDER INTO HIM!!!"

 

[Bread]

Ok at least Pierce is getting 2 free throws from that, I've never seen a ref call a pump fake foul like that on the floor.

 

[Jin34]

You forgot the BS flagrant.

 

[Cubsfan23]

well this game is over. miami will have 40 fouls at the end of the game

 

[reilo]

Must not have seen yesterday's Bulls game where Slavatore blew a whistle on a Rose pump-fake and then he not only said it wasn't a foul, but ruled it an inadvertent whistle. Nevermind that after the game he said he got the call wrong.

 

[Bread]

How was that BS, he knocked Lebron's headband off his head...

Open your eyes, stop watching the game like you're at the Garden.

I said I've never seen the ref call it on the floor, not that I've never seen a ref change his mind after he blew this whistle

 

[Iadien]

So sick of hearing how "hurt" Rondo is. lol We have no idea how bad he dislocated the elbow. Can't be that bad, or he wouldn't be able to move the damn thing. I dislocated my elbow and I had to have it in a cast.

 

[Lkr]

Shaq got away with a nice clothesline :lol

 

[Vestal]

Umm ok..

How about boston? and they are only up 3 shooting 70%?

 

[The Chosen One]

Boston shoots 67% and they're only up 3....

I'm sorry Rondo isn't a pussy.
