Scott Brooks sucks but I don't blast him from playing Westbrook as much as he did, he's the only other guy on the team who can score.

Except Rose is actually receiving the calls when he flails down the middle. Westbrook just keeps on trying with little success, and has no alternative to fall back on. Not to mention the Thunder actually have another option they could look to.
Kings getting another year. My worry is the Maloofs will quietly delay any arena deal by continually demanding obscene control and profits while not putting any money into the building. I think the county is going to have to circumnavigate the owners on getting an arena plan approved just like they did in getting the team to stay.

Im hoping this was an eye opener for people willing to listen more to the need of a new arena. Still scared they will just leave next year as people might just go back to how they were beforeetiolate said:

I think the fact that they're involving the surrounding counties and not just the city will help in getting an arena started.

I really hope they do since a new arena is all they need. Sac has the fan-base they just need somewhere you can sit and watch the game without getting vaccinated beforehand.

Yeah it should help get the ball moving quicker since there will be more public support.

lolspurs! Read back to when it happned. TCB's 50 win post nearly brought tears to my eyes.
3 weeks til he's unbanned, eh? Kind of fitting. He goes out in the 1st round like his team.
I only watched the last 5 mins of that game. Seeing Duncan go out like this is a bit odd. Even last season the dude had a 25-15 game in him. No more. He's regressed a lot on offense. I will miss him. Spurs have some hard decisions going forward, especially with Jefferson failing in the playoffs again.
Didn't see Heat-Celtics (was on the road). I'm surprised to see Celtics getting their butts kicked (for the most part) when stopping Bosh and Lebron not having a great scoring game. James Jones getting 25 was not on my expecting things to see list. I wonder how Celtics will adjust. Their help defense had to be the culprit as was the bench, I'm sure. They need that lane clogger.
Saw only the 1st Q of OKC-Mem. Individual inside defense is a big weakness for OKC, still. Game 2 is a must win for them. Lose and I don't think they recover. Also, dumbrook!
Glad I can finally get back to watching games. Tried to get tickets to tonight's Laker game but failed.

Would help. So many people go to games that live outside of Sacramento (myself included). I guess some people from the Bay Area even go to Sacramento for concerts/events due to it being easier to navigate rather than bay area traffic.etiolate said:

Well fuck, I had a break down of matchups for the Lakers/Mavs game tonight, and my piece of shit computer crashed. Anyways straight to the point, Pau/Bynum/Odom will be the matchups to watch. They have all been more detrimental to the Mavs than Kobe has actually been in the regular season games. Slowing the Lakers frontcourt down will be key to the Mavs this series.
Dirk, and his fellow boys in blue are going to have to be on top of their game. Dirk averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds per game in the Lakers season series, but he'll need to probably score more than that for the Mavs to have a chance. Jet has sucked against the Lakers, so he'll need to have a series against the Lakers like he did last round. I just hope Steve Blake doesn't get into his head again...
This is going to be a very tough match up, and the only way the Mavs can win is if they can contain Bynum/Gasol (which is harder said than done), while having more than just Dirk score.
I predict Lakers win game 1, 106 to 95.

I don't think the Lakers will care too much about Dirk's scoring. I mean, they will try to stop him, but they won't overload to do it. The focus will be on making sure other guys (Terry and Kidd) don't get many wide open looks. And the Lakers really don't need to double Dirk.
Dallas doesn't rely much on dribble-penetration (only Barea who is short), so the Lakers should be able to defend the long shots well.

Terrible comparison. Osama's post game was more complete than Bron'sbishoptl said:

Im gonna guess he blows at moving without the ball. Also when he'd receive the ball on the wings, it would be no mans land for him as he's used to being at the top of the key going 1on1...That's a lot harder working from the wings and you could probably nullify(trap) him easier due to less space. Not saying he can't do it but that's something you work on in the offseason, not now.

Honest question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PWuIr4KzRc Has Westbrook ever made a play like this? Rose does it pretty frequently.

These types of plays were the reason why the Pacers were in the game.

Oh, come on. Free throws again?dIEHARD said:
Yeah there were a few phantom calls for DRose but I think he earned them from taking all the cheap shots that he was getting throughout the series.
pharmboy044 said:
So you're saying that a play that didn't prevent the Bulls from scoring nor help the Pacers score somehow helped the Pacers stay in the game? You're talking about that play that caused no injury or drew no fouls? That one? Ok, gotcha.
pharmboy? More like phanboy, amirite?

Ah okay. Don't know much about the Hawks aside from the few games we played this season. Most Bulls' fans know the shit the Pacers throw at us constantly. Playing at Conseco Fieldhouse is just hell.

Because Rose probably went on to shoot about 30% for the game after that, which was much worse than the 35% he was shooting before.
I really hope that they aren't whistle happy for Rose again in this series. That was brutal to watch. A 1 seed should be good enough to beat an 8 seed team without that crap. San Antonio didn't need a FT parade to easily defea--oh, hmmm.

Yeah, I understand there were a lot of free throws for Rose and maybe that video wasn't the right one to link to but my point was the Pacers were playing like thugs (except for Granger).
Anyway, against Atlanta, as long as Hinrich is hurt, I don't see anyone stopping DRose.
I see this series only lasting 5.

He lit up Noah in March for 31 so there is a really good chance of him having a good game. Hopefully Noah can hold him to less than 20 points otherwise it's gonna be a long night for the Bulls.verbum said:
