Both Deron Williams and Raymond Felton, proven college guys, will be at #5. The Cats will take one of them and groom him as their starting PG. I think at this point the only things the Cats are considering is trading up or staying put.

Bernie Bickerstaf has said they would consider trading down if another team offered a pick and a "young veteran" they want on their team. The only question now is if Caron fits that bill.

Well, I just hope that Bickerstaff is thinking something like "Joe Johnson" when thinking of a "young veteran" than Caron Butler -_-

Looks like the Sonics are going to add Chris Webber to their lineup.

Scoop Jackson for President.

Scoop Jackson is the most racist journalist in basketball. I am so glad he is gone from SLAM. I could not stand him.
Sure he knows basketball and he's a pretty good writer, but he feels the need to bring race into every article he rights.

Shaq on Thursday night

Shaq on Saturday night

Shaq on Monday night

You know it to be true.

Shit, Wade is out today.

 

[strikeselect]

Ah crap, I hope D.Wade starts tonight(and most importantly, is effective). If not, Shaq needs to come up with more than those 20 points he's been averaging. :lol

 

[Loki]

Oh wow-- the game is TONIGHT? :lol I thought it was tomorrow afternoon/night. And here I went and made plans.


Dilemmas. I guess a couple of my friends are gonna get the shaft, then.

 

[VPhys]

This just in. Wade is sitting out.

 

[Loki]

This just in. Wade is sitting out.

:O


That's huge. It'll suck if Miami loses this series due to Wade's injury, considering that they already had to overcome Shaq's injury.

 

[SKluck]

You know what, Miami is in a lot deeper shit than they realize. Forget if Wade plays or not, the fact that he has an injury so serious that he has to sit out a game means when he comes back either in game 7 or vs the Spurs, he is still not going to be nearly as effective as he normally is. Probably not even 50%.

I'd expect a Spurs sweep if Miami sends Detroit packing.

 

[strikeselect]

I'd expect a Spurs sweep if Miami sends Detroit packing.

As long as Shaq is out there, a sweep of the Heat is not possible.

 

[VPhys]

Uh oh Sheed is getting involved.

 

[SKluck]

WTF was that :lol

Ben grabs the ball while Haslem has the rebound and pushes him out of bounds, Piston ball :lol

 

[Bowser]

That was a BS foul on Shaq...he barely touched Wallace.

 

[VPhys]

Shaq's arm didn't even touch Wallace.

 

[Cloudy]

Refs lulling Detroit to sleep with calls. They will strike as usual in the 2nd quarter :lol

 

[strikeselect]

Wow, what a stupid way for Shaq to pick up his 2nd foul.... I mean my god he barely touched wallace

 

[SKluck]

I thing Sheed may be on to something :lol. Borderline charge by Rip on the previous play, not called. And a touch charge on Shaq on the other side of the court.

The powers that be want a game 7.

 

[Bowser]

Two fouls on Shaq...looks like Wallace wasn't kidding when he said the refs would ensure a game 7

 

[Cloudy]

This is a Pistons-friendly score...

 

[Loki]

One of the ugliest first quarters ever. :lol A combined 33 points? Hopefully it won't be indicative of the rest of the game.

 

[SKluck]

The Pistons can't buy a bucket, even if the officials are paying :lol

Wow, this is whoring to unprecedented levels by TNT :lol Skeet you suck now.

 

[etiolate]

East Coast basketball still sucks.

 

[VPhys]

There's going to be riots in Detorit after that call. :lol

 

[Bowser]

Wow, Miami with a nice 9-0 run.

 

[VPhys]

Eddie make something!

 

[Bowser]

Eddie Jones needs to stop shooting.

 

[VPhys]

I'm sure Miami would have liked to end this quarter 60 seconds ago. :lol

 

[Cloudy]

Miami has ZERO ball-handling without Wade...

 

[SKluck]

Oh Shit Rasheed with the 3 to end it.

Seriously, Miami with 12 TOs in the first half. Pistons with 7 STEALS in the first half.

Rip is playing awesome though.

Pistons still sucking overall. Not playing like they can.

 

[Incognito]

Fuck. Had no idea the game was tonight.

 

[strikeselect]

Wow, are the Heat even trying?

I feel like I'm wasting my time watching this pitiful effort in the 3rd quarter from the Heat.


EDIT: Oh great now EJ is out for some stitches

 

[SKluck]

I'm kind of expecting Miami to take a timeout and refuse to come back on the court, this is just awful.

And as much as I hate Wade and Shaq, Miami deserves this series, especially considering all their injuries and shit. Detroit has a habit of stealing these sort of things from other teams though :lol. But if losing one player does THIS to your team, you got problems.

I don't understand Van Gundy's logic though. Our best player is out, let's throw in guys that haven't played in 3 MONTHS YEAH AWESOME.

 

[bionic77]

Miami sucks without Wade. Detroit will once again luck out from a crucial injury to the opposing team.

Even if Detroit wins I still believe Miami clearly established they were the better team. Miami losing will be because of an injury. Something tells me Detroit lucks out with a Duncan ankle sprain in the finals.

 

[impirius]

That is some early, early damage control, dude.

 

[SKluck]

Rasheed is pissing me off. He's going crazy as if he is the innocent one. Sit down.

 

[strikeselect]

Well, that about WRAPS IT UP for this game.

I look forward to game 7

Hopefully D. Wade can come through and lead the Heat to the finals (injured and all)

 

[SKluck]

Ben rejected Shaq. This is the twilight zone here.

NOW Detroit decides to shoot their lights out, when it doesn't even matter.

 

[Socreges]

Miami getting SPANKED, wow

 

[bionic77]

I can't think of a group of fans that deserve a finals trip less than Detroit's.

 

[DarienA]

Just got in.. g*ddamn are the Heat getting spanked... oh well <fires up PS2>

 

[Nutter]

wallace was right about the refs :lol shaq got a little pissed when ben blocked his shot then dunked on him on the next possesion lol, D.Wade will play next game for sure, shaq needs to have a BIG game on monday

 

[The Faceless Master]

first to 90 wins?

 

[evil ways]

"It's the fiiiiiinaaaaal countdoooooowwwwwn!!"

Oh snap, Darko and Arroyo sent in. Game Over Miami.

 

[DarienA]

first to 90 wins?

Shit first to 60 probably won this....

 

[strikeselect]

game 7 is going be f'n huge.

the AA arena is going to be rockin down here.

D. Wade will hopefully be back, and you know Shaq and the rest of the team are going to be motivated after this horrible performance.

 

[Cloudy]

Shaq can't win without a star guard....

 

[SKluck]

Bomb threat before the game?

KUDOS to TNT for not mentioning it until the end of the game. Respect +1.

 

[DMczaf]

LMAO! Dude called in a bomb threat before the game, and was in jail by halftime :lol What an idiot.

 

[Cubsfan23]

who would get home court advantage between spurs and miami? they both have the same record, and were 1-1 against each other
