Hey cmon you know Kobe was framed by The Man!
It would be a dumb move to trade Kobe, but I wouldn't mind it because we could get rid of all the Kobe lovers and fairweather fans. Plus, think of the hilarity that would ensue if the Lakers traded Kobe to the Hawks, Konex would just fall apart.
And you know who he would latch on to after that...
The incredible Bill Walton says Van Gundy's Rockets' getting beat up in the first round coupled with his huge ref complaints outburst... means Van Gundy is out and it gives Phil Jackson the perfect opp to slide in as the new head coach of the Rockets.

I hope not, I could care less who wins, just play some good competive BBall.bionic77 said:
OK, having gotten over the clear robbery Sir O'Neal of Dunkenstania, I can now shed a tear for T-Mac and his new squad of worthless chokers. You know...you can't win for losing. What's the guy gotta do to get some support? Yao is quickly gaining on Bradley for the biggest waste of height. He plays stupid, just plain stupid. I mean, the Mavs just abused him last night. *sigh* Now as much as I like Mark Cuban as an owner (I think he runs a great organization), I don't want to see his stupid fucking face next round. But when the Rox totally implode in the 4th, what else is there to do? TMac made some poor decision taking some 3's early in the shot clock, but that's his normal game. It's not like he's the weak link in that Houston team. Someone needs to light a fire under Yao and get him to stop playing like a 5'10" pussy. Grow some fucking balls, big man. I'm giving him one more season to get his shit together, then he's gonna be tossed on the scrapheap with the other oversized bums that managed to sucker teams into drafting them high.
I'm getting over the Nash thing thanks to Le Batard's article in the Herald today. I used to hate Dan Le Retard with a passion, but he's grown on me in the last year. Sometimes you gotta pick the underdog. Shaq's not sweating it, so why should we? And as Shaq said, since having Phil as a coach, he's learned to focus on the bigger picture. So ... *gulp* ... congratulation to Steve Nash on a well-earned MVP. It's all the hw he'll be taking home this year.
Anyway, y'all ready for this hungry Heat team to topple this dark-horse Wizards squad? It'll be a tough series, but I'm confident Wade and the Shaq Pack will have their game faces on. This is playoff time, no half-stepping. Bowo down to your new kings:
Your 2005 NBA Finals Champions. Oops...did I just say that? David Stern told me to keep that little secret under wraps, but you heard it here first. PEACE.
EDIT: I just wish Rasul Butler wasn't in that pic. I forgot he was the early-season starter.

Look at all those empty seats....Bitch ass fans.

Yeah Shaq truly is shit at the FT line.... though he has his moments..(thank god that's usually at crunch time) that hesitation shot of his reminds me of how awkward it was to watch Bill Cartwright shoot... he though just had an awkward looking arm motion when he shot, elbow all splayed out to the side...
Geez Shaq 2 fouls already.....
Damn Wade just made some folks look... STUPID.
Anyone have a list of the oldest players in the NBA? I've been keeping up with the playoffs now, rooting for Miller Time to come through, going old school like its 1998. I hope the Pacers win it all for Miller, despite Jermaine "Al Sharpton" O'Neal and Ron "Mike Tyson" Artest.

They're just fans in red. The playoffs are pretty much soldout down here. Miami has fair-weather fans, but when you're up, this town is one of the best to be in. Fans will show up and make a ton of noise. Miami love a winner.
PEACE.EDIT: I said it earlier this year, but I don't know how long we're gonna keep Dooling. He's stepped up his game this year. He's a lot more confident, and if you've seen him live, you'll know he's extremely quick. Watching him in warmup earlier this year, he covers the court *almost* as quick as Wade. That's no joke right there. I can see him starting for another team next year. If he works on his 3 shot over the Summer, he'll make a nice shooting guard for someone.

Good ol' eastern conference. Could you imagine a team like the Wiz even making the playoffs in the west? Upset of the century. They should just give Miami a bye for this round.

It is Official All teams in the Eastern Confrence Sucks Donkey Dick except Detroit..
Pimpwerx said:What? This Wizards team is formidable. I'd make them a 4th seed in the West.
OK, so they're not that good, but they're not that bad. I like to think it's the overwhelming dominance of my Miami Heat hunter-killers that's fucking up the Wizz's game. PEACE.
Agreed I don't think the Wizards suck I just think that unlike some other series in the playoffs right now, this is a team in the 2nd round meeting another team that just totally outclasses it.. .unlike some other second round series which I expect to be close...
Biggest problem I've seen so far is their POOR shot selection...
Uh somebody needs to practice their behind the back move....

Yes, they're good for the East. This team playing against the Suns or Spurs would lose the series 4-0 by a 20+ point average margin per game.

Looks like their fans didn't show up either.
I have seen regular season games with more emotion and noise.
Edit: That was a beautiful play at the end for the Wizards. The Wizards might develop into a really good team in the future once they learn how to run a offense.
LOL! If we lose this game, you can rip my shit, but this game is under control. It's not the first time we've gone numb heading into the half. SVG will have them straightened out for the second half. They're just not taking smart shots. It's pretty easy to remedy IMO.
As for the Heat losing to a West Coast team 4-0...LOL! What a load of bullshit. Miami held it's own against the best in the West during the regular season. If you want to use a 5 minute stretch of one game as a basis for their chances, then I guess the Spurs aren't going anywhere. Afterall, they lost a 1st round game.
BTW, who told me Shaq can't pull 30/20 duty in the playoffs? 17 in the first half, bitches. And that's with 3 fouls. He keeps the fouls down and gets busy on the boards again, he's pulling 30/20 duty.
Sorry ladies, this playoff Shaq has not yet begun to stung. Wait 'til the diesel builds up steam, then it's fucking curtains.
"Move, bitch. Get out the way." PEACE.

I was the one who said that and he has 4 rebounds in the first half. I never said he couldn't score I said he wasn't the rebounding or blocking monster he used to be. I could see him even going as high as 40+ in the playoffs, I just don't know if he can get 20 boards in a game anymore. He certainly hasn't shown me that in a few years now.
Granted Shaq has not played a lot of minutes, but he is pulling down Yao Ming type of rebound numbers.
Pimpwerx said:
:lol
He doesn't belong in the same categoy as Yao, for one he can actually change his game when required. I was just making a point that his rebounds have not been anything special lately (for Shaq's standards).
I wasn't sure whether or not to use the word 'girly' or compare him to Yao. I thought it might be more insulting to compare him to Yao.

People who put Shaq and Yao in the same sentence should be shot... hung... revived... drawn... and quartered.

Look into the Stands, Half the seats are empty.
Wrong. It's the "red zone". Basically cheap advertising for Old Spice, but everyone wears these red shirts that match the seasts really well. Take a closer look, the lower section is most likely completely sold out. There aren't gonna be empty seats in any arena during the playoffs IMO. Oh shit, foul #4.themadcowtipper said:

You are right that it is sold out, but why is it so quiet?
That was no steal Haslem wasn't paying attention... WTF? How was that a foul on Jones... boooooooo.
No flashy moves in the game right now.. Wade's playing poorly, Shaq is on the bench... the role players are contributing but they aren't contributing anything that is like....oh wow!
Damn Wade... geez....
EDIT: Whoa can anybody lip read? :lol
