Manu and TP can't be missing clutch fts like that. They better not lose game 4 or else they'll start thinking about last year...


PS: LMAO @ Snaq, "I'm playing like Erik Dampier" :lol :lol :lol :lol

Who wants to murder Steven A Smith? If he's trampled in a stampede, surely it's no one's fault right? Why the hell is he so damn intense about a non issue like Shaq playing game 5, this late?? Just shut up. Say it, and shut up. If I ever meet him I'm going to beat his ass, and yell in his ear while he's on the ground.

The ref looked like a WWE ref when Big Dog pushed Lewis into him. He looked at Lewis like "WTF! Why did you run into me?!" I was just waiting for someone to get a chair shot soon after.

Yeah, the way the Spurs played the PnR tonight was pretty stupid and effortless.

You just get the feeling they had everything to go for the kill, but they just got lazy and ended up the game flat.

SA missed like 20 fts and only lost by 1. They are the better team by far.... :)

Sonics missed 14 threes, trailed by 10 on multiple occasions, and were FAR from anything resembling a healthy team and still beat the Spurs.

Wow, these kind of word games are fun!

you say it as if they missed 14 OPEN 3's. that's like saying "oooh tim duncan missed 9 shots! thats why!" bottom line is the spurs have the sonics on lockdown for the most part, but the spurs shot themselves in the foot with horrendous ft shooting. just incase you didn't realize, the sonics 3's were being contested so the spurs could have had something to do with them missing 14 3's. no one was defending the spurs at the FT line, that was their own doing.

p.s. don't be delusional incognito, the sonics wont live to see a game 6 in this series

When asked by a reporter about what he said before the game that the Sonics were giving the Spurs too much respect. He answered he had no respect for the Spurs and walked away into the tunnel.

Just you wait until Duncan hears about it. He'll drop 40 on his ass. :D

p.s. don't be delusional, fmt, the 49ers won't live to win 3 games next year

why are you bringing up the 49ers in an nba playoff thread?

but, nevertheless, why dont you put your money where your mouth is? i'll bet you $20 paypal that we will win more than 3 games this year. i pay all my bets here on GA (ask mrbob, eminem, triumph, mig, and whoever else i have lost money to over the years), so lets make this season a little more interesting.

p.s. unless you are just passively talking shit without actually meaning it, in which case i will take your shit talking for now, but realize that after week 3 when we have won our 3rd game you'll be hearing about it

Miami has an interesting problem right now... I've noticed it as the playoffs have gone on... they asked Dwayne Wade to take control and he's done that... points wise he's doing well... but particular this series his TO's are increasing, 4, 7 and 8 so far.... that's gotta stop they aren't going to be able to afford that against Detroit.

It happens everytime he's asked to take over. He tries too hard and really Kobes it up. If Shaq's out, they just double-him, and there are only so many guys he can evade before coughing it up. He's gotta realize his handle isn't as good as AI's, so he can't try doing all that crazy shit with so much pressure on him. His game works great with Shaq in there, but with him out, he doesn't compensate and starts giving away points. PEACE.

In the run-up to the NBA Finals, you won't see Steve Nash dish to a guy in jeans, and Ray Allen won't be hounded by a defender who refuses to take his watch off. But here's a list of some of the pickup archetypes you'll see in the next month.

Funny Shot Guy
The Guy with the Funny Shot Who Can't Miss: Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns

Shawn Marion doesn't shoot a jump shot, exactly. It's more like a jump spasm—dribble, dribble, twitch. And it goes in! Every time I watch Marion, I think of Nick "Butter" Brown, my childhood teammate who dropped out of competitive basketball in seventh grade before becoming a pickup sharpshooter of the "How the hell?" variety. In a league full of players with mechanical, one-handed releases, Marion's shot is a homegrown monster. So ugly. So miraculous. So butter.


Too Much Gear Guy
The Guy Who Wears Too Much Protective Gear: Rip Hamilton, Detroit Pistons

It starts with ankle tape that peeks over the sock line. Then it spreads upward: a knee brace, an elbow wrap, a wrist support. Does your hypochondriac friend really need to play in shin guards and a fitted plastic face mask? Probably not. But those protective goggles might come in handy if there's an earthquake.


Daddy's Boy
The Guy Whose Dad Brought Him To Play: Damien Wilkins, Seattle Sonics

His uncle Dominique is a basketball legend. His dad Gerald played in the NBA for 13 seasons. What's Damien doing in the league? His pops didn't have time to take the station wagon home after school.


Fat Guy
The Guy Who's Fat: Anthony Johnson, Indiana Pacers

Who doesn't love the roly-poly playground point guard? Every time down the court, you get to try out another nickname as you call for the ball. What will it be this time, Big Boy or Big Wheels? Big Stuff or Big Bubbles? Jelly Roll?


Good Guy's Friend
The Guy Who Has a Friend Who's Really Good: Damon Jones, Miami Heat

At first, you don't notice him. He comes to the gym in the shadow of a big man. Then the action starts, and the big guy starts to dominate. The little guy starts to squalk about "my man's" unstoppable game. Sports Illustrated recently reported that Damon Jones' Miami teammates call him Lil' Him and Donkey (to Shaquille O'Neal's Shrek). And when Shaq takes the day off? Donkey starts playing like Eeyore.


No-Show Guy
The Guy Who Doesn't Show Up: Kwame Brown, Washington Wizards (suspended for the rest of the playoffs)

Oh, you're running a little bit late? I see, you thought we meant p.m., not a.m. You'll be another 10 minutes? Now you're at the wrong J.C.C.? No, no, don't worry. We have enough to start without you.


Hustle on Defense Guy
The Guy Who Plays Defense: Bruce Bowen, San Antonio Spurs

Seattle Sonics guard Ray Allen on Bowen: "He pulls on you. He grabs you. He hits your elbow when you shoot. When you go to the basket, he'll shove you and then he'll fall. Just stuff like that that's real annoying." We've all been guarded by someone who tries just a little too hard. This raging maniac will tell you that he just loves to hustle. But we all know he's overcompensating for his small point total.


Quick Foul Guy
The Guy Who Calls Too Many Fouls: Reggie Miller, Indiana Pacers

If you touch his elbow, he calls a foul. Graze his nonshooting hand—foul. Step on his toe—foul. Make a little too much eye contact—let's take that one out at the top. After this year's playoffs, Miller is hanging it up. Shake his hand in congratulations for a long, successful career—foul.


And1 Video Guy
The Guy Who Just Bought an And1 Video: Jon Barry, Houston Rockets (already eliminated from the playoffs)

Wait, what do you want us to call you again? I can never remember, is it Handles McKrissKross or KrissKross McHandles? OK, please stop spinning the ball on your finger. And yes, I'm pretty sure it is traveling when you run into the lane with the ball tucked between your knees.


Half-Court Guy
The Guy Who Wants To Play Half-Court: Shawn Bradley, Dallas Mavericks

"We'll get less tired," he cries. "We can play longer!" Stringy beanpole players who are long in the arm and short on energy will say anything to convince you that it's a bad idea to run back and forth. Half-court basketball is their evolutionary niche—they can stand under the basket gobbling up rebounds and tapping in misses without ever moving their size-19 feet. Shawn Bradley is just one rule change away from being the NBA Finals MVP. So, how about a half-court championship series, Mr. Commissioner? Come on, we could make it best five out of nine!

This was funny but I'm not sure I understand the reference to playing like Eeeyore... Damon has been tearin it up with Shaq up or down...[/quote]

The Spurs are weird in that they play better on the road than at home.

What? For a divison leader, they are one of the worst road teams. They are best in the league at home, that is only reason they finished so well.

(May 12, 2005) — Organizers had to cancel Earvin "Magic" Johnson's two appearances in Rochester today because he isn't feeling well.

An event organizer said this morning that the basketball legend is OK, but that he's caught a bug that's going around and that his doctor advised him to take it easy.

At least Jordan wasnt wearing a skirt in front of Wacko Jacko.

Did Jacko also invite Magic to one of his "parties" during the shoot?
