The hell it doesn't. Kobexology works regardless of circumstances as long as Konex believes it.

If he believes in it, it will go to straight to shit.

You know you're getting smacked when role players have the green light to keep shooting transition 3s on you :lol

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Rockets are getting ready for the playoffs...perfect time to find their A game again :D

goddamit, Griese!
Duhon 8/9 from 3-point land. Jesus.

I can't believe we're playing this good without Deng and Curry. Erasing a second half 19 point deficit against any team(yes, even the hawks) is awesome.

Magic are on their way to their 7th straight loss. I'd like to see us lose the rest of the games this season to have a better shot at a decent pick.

A Sonics/Rockets first round matchup will be fun :D

Nuggets can't do anything in the halfcourt. They will get swept by any team except the Sonics, Kings or Suns in the playoffs...

The only team that can and will sweep us is the Suns. Other then that I think we have a good chance against anyone. Tonights game is a minor setback, It just showed how much we need Camby on the court.

:lol thats true. Thats my theory as to why Mike Lupica is such a prick. Just look at him. He's such a little nerd he probably got picked on by all the jocks in high school for being a dork and now has it in for athletes.

:lol Lupica's a complete and utter choad...seeing the way he went from blowing up the "great home run chase of '98" andsucking Big Mac's cock in the process to thrasing McGwuire for ruining his memories is simply hilarious. That's what you get for overlooking the fucking obvious you dumb scrot.

:lol You can almost hear the bitterness...

Gotta say though, I agree with the Carlisle pick for coach of the year. The Pacers had every reason to go into the toilet this year, and instead they've not only made the playoffs, but put a pretty good streak together in the process to ride themselves into it. Batigol's pick for McMillan is an equally solid choice.

And I think Shaq or Duncan should win the MVP. Why? Cause no one's really listing the Suns as a title favourite even with Nash in the lineup, though everyone recognizes they're a lot worse off without him. Whereas the Spurs have been western conference favourites from day one, and the Heat moved into that position in the east in early December. Yet as soon as those guys went down with injuries last month, people were acting like they could lose in the first round (well, the Spurs anyway). And while both teams held their heads above water, the aura of complete and utter ownage you see when you face them with the big guys in there simply isn't there. I think those factors are pretty telling.

Having said that, it would rock if Nash won the MVP, being a Canuck and all. And Dirk deserves heavy consideration as well.

6 more days until freedom!

Damn, the playoffs always suck without the Lakers. I think I am going to be rooting for Dallas. It is obvious that Kobexology is going to give the Heat a title this year.

I see Larry Brown just losing it and trading all his good players for scrubs who 'play the right way' after the season. In Brown talk, that means guys who play defense and pass the ball for the first 23 seconds of the shot clock.

I see Duncan getting injured in the 2nd round and ending the Spurs hopes for a ring.

I still think the Sonics, Mavs, or Suns would give the Heat a serious run in the finals and have a good shot at winning. But, Kobexology will assure us that two of those teams will suffer an injury and the third will be upset by an overachiever that has no chance in the finals.

I feel sorry for the fans of whichever team Konex leeches onto for the playoffs.

I'm pulling for the Mavericks and Kings in the West. Lakers and Spurs dominated while they never quite made it. Anybody but Miami in the East :lol

The Mavs?

Damnit, everywhere I turn you are there, Kobexing up everything I like! Why don't you bother DM or some of the other GAFers for awhile. I am all Konexed out. :(

im pulling for the Heat to win it all actually. I don't hate Shaq (even though he went out like a bitch, and Wade is a fantastic player and fun to watch. Plus, between Shaq, Riley, and Eddie, they've got plenty of Laker mojo over there. Also, it would prevent the Spurs from winning a third title and matching the number of the Shaq/Kobe dynasty, though winning 3 in 6 years isn't as impressive as winning 3 in a row motherfuckers!

edit: :lol Bionic. Fucking KoHEX!

basically elden was being screened by some guy and lebron was driving what looked liked a clear path and then elden just nudges the guy with his elbow right into lebron"s way and they both go down...a flagrant was called, but post-brawl the nba is sure to be less forgiving of plays like that.

Good game. :) Not even Stern's minions could stop the Pistions. :D

Even if the Cavs somehow make the playoffs, they're going to get swept out of the first round. They just don't hold up to +.500 teams.

Lebron is a shitty ass on the ball defender. I don't care how many steals he gets in the game, tis cuz he always plays like 5 feet off of his guy just waiting for that steal. And he is a really bad help defender as well. Nevertheless....I'm not one to complain about 27, 7, and 7

:lol

The upside of the Cavs not making the playoffs is that we'll see what kind of person he is. Players like Michael Jordan when faced with similar disappoints continued to improve themselves and brought their game to the next level. They didn't play the blame game or bolt town.

If Bron really is the heir apparent, then he'll come out of this setback that much better. Might also help him to have the spotlight off him for a little bit.
