BOS @ CLE Game Thread

[KidCongo]

Cavs are 18-0 at home. Will Boston put an end to this streak and get out of this slump they are currently in?

Fuck NO!

Cavs FTW

[Lakers_55]

This will be a fun game to watch. I am curious what bias the announcers will have. Will there be excuses for Boston? will Cleveland be "crowned" champion? etc....Hope it's a good game!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Cavs by 16

Big baby is crying by half time

Dream team if you put LeBron in a Celtics jersey.

[KidCongo]

Dream team if you put LeBron in a Celtics jersey.

Except LBJ is not a punk like the rest of them.

True, but his presence alone would add much needed class. :lol

Good point!!!

I hope it's a good game!

I believe Boston will get the road win and hand the Cavs their first home loss this season.

Boston needs to play well and this is the game they will do it!!


:flag:

[Armando]

Boston

[LnGrrrR]

Here's hoping my C's can pull it off and right the ship.

[SmellyFeet]

One of them will lose.

[JoeTait75]

They'll be biased in favor of the team that's winning.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Final Score: Cleveland 180 Boston 60.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

This should be an easy game for the Celtics. The Cavs are extremely overrated... just like their best player.

:lmao

Cavs might be overrated, but please elaborate on LeBron being overrated.

[urunobili]

Cavs blow out

[Indazone]

Celtics tired of losing..blow the Cavs out

[DrHouse]

Why do I think the Celtics will do much better than people think?

[stretch]

This should be an easy game for the Cavs. The Celtics are extremely overrated... just like the guy wearing #5 on their team.

Fixed.

[stretch]

but please elaborate on LeBron being overrated.

It's because people put him in the same class as Kobe, and Kobe cockgobblers like lakaluva feel threatened by it.

[Allanon]

I hate, hate, HATE the Celtics but I too believe the Cavs to be over-rated. The Cavs will continue stumbling this month.

I'm rooting for the Cavs to win but unfortunately, the Celtics will win this game.

[LnGrrrR]

:lmao

Cavs might be overrated, but please elaborate on LeBron being overrated.

He can't turn water to wine? :D

[Reck]

I want cavs to get this but I have a funny feeling that Boston will bring their A-GAME and stomp the Cavs to give 'em heir first home lost.

[xtremesteven33]

Celtics will win in a nail bitter.

[Texas_Ranger]

Cavs by 26!

[SpursDynasty]

This game isn't much of a big deal and I'll tell you why. Cleveland acts like they are championship contenders when they're not. They're not on Boston's level, Boston will win this one easily, plain and simple.

[DrHouse]

I don't know who's going to win this game but I can tell you one thing for sure.

Some team is going to be shooting some shots.

[td4mvp21]

I'm hoping Cleveland wins. They really need to prove that they are legit and they need to kick this Boston team while they are down.

[it's me]

This game isn't much of a big deal and I'll tell you why. Cleveland acts like they are championship contenders when they're not. They're not on Boston's level, Boston will win this one easily, plain and simple.


Yea I know…the winner will be the team that is supposed to win right???? Nothing new here. :wakeup

[Lakers_55]

A Boston loss keeps them in a funk. However, that may be a good thing.
A Cleveland loss makes them question themselves. However, that too may be a good thing.

If Boston loses, it won't be long before they snap out and Cleveland has a letdown. If Cleveland loses, Celtics still will get better soon. I think Cleveland needs the win more.

What I hope for is a well-played back and forth nail-biter, with the outcome in doubt for as long as possible. That's what I look for in any game I watch that the Lakers don't play in.

I have no prediction, and I don't care who wins. I just know that one of them has to lose and Lakers gain ground on one of them, provided we win tonight as well.

I agree that Cleveland needs the win more. I'm just sick of Boston's attitude and I want them to keep losing as much as possible. Plus I like Cleveland alright all Lebron hype aside (I like Lebron but I get sick of ESPN sucking his dick).

I'm hoping for a good close grind-it-out game as well.

[YellowFever]

There's been rumblings coming out of boston that they really weren't motivated to play hard the last 8 games or so.

well, tonight is definitely a motivation game for them.

Let's see how they do.

[SpursDynasty]

This won't be much of a matchup...117-93 or so Boston.

[DrHouse]

I'm also feeling that BOS will either win or make this close. It's hard for me to see the defending champs who were so dominant early in the season go down for very long.

[Armando]

Let ESPN's lovefest with LeBron begin

[anakha]

Since the Cavs have the better record right now (and I'm rooting for all teams with better records than the Spurs to start piling up losses)... go Celts...

[Rockhound]

KG is the Tebow of the NBA.


Grade A ESPN quality ladies and gentlemen.

[ManuTP9]

cavs ftw lmao

[Armando]

Great to see a ref finally call Varejao for a flop.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

take that shit Garnett

[dirk4mvp]

LOL KG was scared shitless when he saw LeBron coming at him.

[Reck]

Boston has become a team that you're suppose to beat. Very sad.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

KG is the Tebow of the NBA.

Lol, I don't think KG ever had a 3.8 GPA.

[mystargtr34]

Cavs scoring at will.

[KidCongo]

I'm here now to watch. Come on Cavs.

[Armando]

Boston has become a team that you're suppose to beat. Very sad.



You need to stop getting your sports news from Stuart Scott. Of course when he has LeBron's dick out of his mouth long enough to talk.

[supermana]

F U Garnett

[dirk4mvp]

LeBron just took a huge shit on Pierce.

[supermana]

i want to see the 'crab cross'

[Armando]

Wow where is Boston's defense? Cavs shooting 67% is not acceptable.

[Armando]

Time for the crab dribble

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I understand they're a defensive team, but a team with Pierce KG and Allen should be better than what Boston is on offense.

[Armando]

I understand they're a defensive team, but a team with Pierce KG and Allen should be better than what Boston is on offense.


For real there is no reason why a team with those 3 guys should not be scoring better and averaging at least 105-110 points per game. And still be a good defensive team.

[KidCongo]

Wallly!!!!!!!!

[KidCongo]

Jj!!!!!!!!

[KidCongo]

WTF Rondo how you make jumper

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

For real there is no reason why a team with those 3 guys should not be scoring better and averaging at least 105-110 points per game. And still be a good defensive team.

Well they aren't an up tempo team so the 105-110 thing won't happen but they shouldn't be just as bad as the Suns in turnovers.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

LeBron: Kendrick how my ass taste?

[Reck]

Wow that one announcer just had a cavs orgasm.

[Armando]

WTF Perkins next time just kiss LeBron why don't you. Give him a hard foul don't just give him an easy dunk. Put his ass on the floor.

[KidCongo]

Now LeBron will be subbed out for about 5 mins. Lets see the Cavs hold the lead.

[DazedAndConfused]

BOS has never had to rely on their offense to win games, and they shouldn't need to if their defense was doing its job.

[Armando]

Wow that one announcer just had a cavs orgasm.



Mark Jackson right?

[Lakers_55]

One of these teams will lose the NBA finals to whoever survives the west.

[Armando]

Kendrick: LeBron how does my ring taste?



Fixed

[Reck]

Mark Jackson right?

Dont really know his name but one of the two for sure. :lol

[endrity]

The Cavs right now look really good, and LeBron is playing out of this world. I know ESPN overhypes him, but he is reallyyyyy good.

[Armando]

Watching Boston I think I agree with Avery Johnson. They need to give Nellie a call about SJak. Yes I know he is not all there mentally but you can't deny that he will give Boston a fresh shot of energy. He would be a lot better then picking up Marbury. Plus he is a good shooter and defender.

[I. Hustle]

I have said things this season that I have never said before.

Christmas I said go lakers

and tonight was C'mon Cavs!

[Armando]

I have said things this season that I have never said before.

I hoping for Boston the lesser of 2 evils. If the Cavs win ESPN will go into a LeBron frenzy.

[ManuTP9]

cavs FTW XD

They already are, but honestly if anyone ever deserved it, it's him.

[Armando]

I have never seen a ringless player get so much hype.

[endrity]

I have never seen a ringless player get so much hype.

Never seen a 23 year old be this dominating!

[Chieflion]

Lebron for 3.

[Reck]

Boston sucks.

[KidCongo]

Never seen a 23 year old be this dominating!

+1

[I. Hustle]

Holy crap 101 55?!

[DazedAndConfused]

Doc Rivers motivational crap just isn't working anymore. His team needs strategy, not a pep talk.

[hitmanyr2k]

I like the way Cleveland is moving the ball. Boston is paying way too much attention to Lebron. They have two players shadowing him all the time even when he's on the perimeter lol.

[Chieflion]

Celtics getting owned.

[Armando]

Celtics getting owned.


Yet for how well the Cavs are playing is only a 9 point lead.

[KidCongo]

Z makes the Cavs such a better rebounding team.

[Armando]

Doc Rivers motivational crap just isn't working anymore. His team needs strategy, not a pep talk.



A team coming off a championship shoudn't need a motivational pep talk from thier coach. Seriously Rivers think they need confidence? :wow

[endrity]

Doc Rivers motivational crap just isn't working anymore. His team needs strategy, not a pep talk.

Sounds like Avery Johnson, once plan A is figured out by the rest of the league, they have no plan b.

[Chieflion]

Yet for how well the Cavs are playing is only a 9 point lead.

It is the slow pace. Actually, I don't even care about the outcome of this game.

[crc21209]

Boston and Cleveland- 2 OVERHYPED, OVERRATED machines.

[dirk4mvp]

Cavs are easily the best team in the league.

[crc21209]

ESPN is having a field day with this game, sucking both teams off at the same time.

[Armando]

Cavs are easily the best team in the league.



A team in LA might disagree with you.

[dirk4mvp]

A team in LA might disagree with you.


damn dude, we get it. You don't like the Cavs. They're better than the Lakers though.

[crc21209]

Too early to tell who's gonna take it all in the end, Lebron's cast could fold, Boston could step up and repeat (or choke) , Kobe could will the Lakers to the title, Orlando could surprise a hell of alot of people, and NEVER count out the Spurs either.

NBA (Realistic) Power Rankings as of now:

1. Lakers
2. Cavs.

LOL get real homer. Hornets are much better than the Spurs.

[crc21209]

The East AND West is a 3-way race in my book.

West- Lakers, Spurs, Hornets

East- Cavs, Celtics, Magic

[KidCongo]

Yep:toast

[crc21209]

I'm sorry, who is your team? Oh the Grizzlies!?!?! GTFO and come back when ur team is actually doing something. The Hornets and Spurs have the same amount of losses but the Spurs have 3 more wins. Spurs-24-11 and Hornets 21-11. So you have no argument there.

[dirk4mvp]

I'm sorry, who is your team? Oh the Grizzlies!?!?! GTFO and come back when ur team is actually doing something. The Hornets and Spurs have the same amount of losses but the Spurs have 2 more wins.

Yeah you could take those glasses off and realize the Spurs aren't that good.

[crc21209]

I think we are going to be in for a surprise in the East. I think either the Cavs or Celtics is going to be upset prior to making it to the ECF. Everyone is counting out Orlando and everyone forgets about Detroit. The Pistons are quietly winning games. And they still have a chance to catch Cleveland for the division. I doubt that either Boston or Cleveland wants to see those 2 teams come playoff time. And don't even forget about the Nets or Heat. While I don't expect those teams to win a series but Wade and Carter/Harris is going to give teams fits in the 1st round. Those guys alone could win you a couple of games.

I agree. Still waaay to early to tell. Detroit, Miami, and New Jersey could upset Orlando, Cleveland, or Boston. We know what Detroit brings to the table and now with A.I. have a little more offensive punch, Miami has Wade, I dont count that guy out ever, and New Jersey now has Carter AND Harris.

[Chieflion]

LOL get real homer. Hornets are much better than the Spurs.

That was the NBA true power rankings. The Spurs may rise this Monday and the Hornets may fall further.

[crc21209]

Ask Phoenix the same question, as their fans and players always said the yr before didnt mean shit, but each time have gotten spanked by the Spurs each time they met in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure losing a Game 7 on your home floor may mess with your mind when you meet up with the same team who knocked you out the previous year.

[Armando]

I think what is going to make Detroit especially a tough out for any team is Rodney Stuckey. That kid is just playing great. Combine Stuckey,AI and Rip with Sheed and Prince and Boston and Cleveland are going to be in for a dogfight. And Wade is going to be great in the playoffs won't be enough but I can see him pushing the Cavs or Magic to 6 games in a series.

[IronMexican]

What does last year have to do with this year?

It has nothing to do with the WCF, but everything to do with WCSF.

[crc21209]

I think the teams who get less time in the limelight fuels them a bit, Orlando, Detroit, etc. Because all the media talks about in the East is Cleveland and Boston, that may fuel Detroit and Orlando to wanna upset these media darlings.

You know I am actually rooting for Detroit to at least knock one of them off. And I have never been a Pistons fan. I think is just me always rooting for the underdog.

[Chieflion]

True. Among those of my friends who watch the NBA, when they ask me who are contenders in the East, I said Detroit and they said I was a homer.

[Reck]

Hornets are better than the Spurs.


Dont be ridiculous.

Hornets are heavily dependent on one guy. You take CP out of that team and it turns to shit.

[KidCongo]

Finally.

[Armando]

Hornets are better than the Spurs.



Really? Take away CP who on that team can create thier own shot?

[crc21209]

Dont be ridiculous.

Agreed. As a Spurs fan we've seen plenty of times Manu carry the Spurs without TD and TP, and most recently TD carry the team without Manu and TP. You take CP3 out of the Hornets, that team is hardly competitive.

[dirk4mvp]

The Spurs wouldn't be in the playoffs without Duncan as the Hornets wouldn't be in the playoffs without Paul.

[BlackBellamy]

LOL get real homer. Hornets are much better than the Spurs.

Prove that in the slightest and I will owe you a coke.

[Armando]

The Spurs wouldn't be in the playoffs without Duncan as the Hornets wouldn't be in the playoffs without Paul.



Don't know about that. The Spurs are deep and have more options besides Duncan,Manu and Parker. You can't say the same of the Hornets.

[crc21209]

The Spurs wouldn't be in the playoffs without Duncan as the Hornets wouldn't be in the playoffs without Paul.

I didn't say playoffs did I? No sir. I said "staying competitive." Can you read? You ok there? I didnt say Oh if the Spurs didnt have TD they would still make playoffs, cuz I'm not so sure they would. I'm saying the Spurs can stay above water with 1 or 2 of their stars out still, and the Hornets can not without Chris Paul.

[dirk4mvp]

Prove that in the slightest and I will owe you a coke.


So the Spurs are clearly better than the Hornets?

[Reck]

They probably wouldn't have those champs but to say they would miss the POs is also ridiculous.

You're an avid fan of bringing the playoffs up when it fits your argument (bread and butter for spurfans), so I'll do it too.

Fuck Delonte is playing shit.

Rondo is a fag. (Not really)

[crc21209]

Woo Ray Allen Wow. Never really liked the cry baby bitch, but HE CAN SHOOT.

[Chieflion]

So the Spurs are clearly better than the Hornets?

You said the Hornets are better than the Spurs like it was so easy.

Hornets without Paul would be a chicken without a head.

Chris Paul is responsible for at least 40 points on their team. Once Chris Paul goes to the bench, shit happens.

Their 2 guard is not starter material. Peja cannot create his own shot, Chandler has to be force fed alley oops by Paul. The only exception would be David West, and he definitely cannot pick up the slack from Chris Paul.

[dirk4mvp]

But in that post I clearly brought up the playoffs, on the post your talking about never did I type the word playoffs. So your fucking yourself man. lol.


No shit you fucking dumbass. It's not smart to question someone's ability to read when you're the one clearly lacking in that department.



You're an avid fan of bringing the playoffs up when it fits your argument (bread and butter for spurfans), so I'll do it too.

[crc21209]

Soooo I'll move on now your not worth my time. lol. or my typing.

[hitmanyr2k]

Lebron totally walked before that shot lol. Dude shuffled both pivot feet while sizing the shot up. Great defense on the fast break layup though. That's a bigtime momentum swing.

[BlackBellamy]

So the Spurs are clearly better than the Hornets?

I think the qualifier 'much' was a bit 'much'. I s'pose that we will most likely see come post season, but considering that neither team has had radical personnel changes (except Posey for them and Mason for us) I would have to give the edge to the Spurs considering the (albeit close call) playoff exit we handed to them last season.

[Armando]

Jesus, Rondo blows. He's not doing anything right.



He is really sucking in this game but that was not a foul. Great acting job by James to sell it though.

[Armando]

Lebron totally walked before that shot lol. Dude shuffled both pivot feet while sizing the shot up. Great defense on the fast break layup though. That's a bigtime momentum swing.



I guess his crab dribble is allowed. Or is the Cupid Shuffle?

[lil_penny]

Lebron=M.V.P.

[crc21209]

Wouldnt it be the shit if both Boston and Cleveland got eliminated prior to the ECF's. lol.

Payback after Rondo got the call at the start of the 3rd when James blocked him from behind.

that was not a foul either so it cancels out the other.

[j.dizzle]

whats up fellas..damn whats goin on with rondo lately? hes a turnover machine that misses the easiest shots ive ever seen haha..the only person that is worse at makin layups is Derek Fisher :lol..& pierce looks slower then a 50 year old

[Armando]

Wouldnt it be the shit if both Boston and Cleveland got eliminated prior to the ECF's. lol.



That would be aesome. I think one of them won't make it. Won't be surprise to see a Magic/Cavs ECF. Or Magic/Celtics

[KidCongo]

Pierce has some of the best footwork in the NBA for a wing and LBJ shuts him down. Keep it up.

[Reck]

Pierce looks like a Zombie. They must be tired as fuck. lol

[KidCongo]

Yep.

[hitmanyr2k]

This is getting too one-sided so the refs need to manufacture some points for Pierce lol.

[Armando]

Pierce looks like a Zombie. They must be tired as fuck. lol



Chasing around LeBron is not a picnic.

[Armando]

The Celts offense is just awful. They are lucky to be down just 12.

[Reck]

My god, so much ownaged. I cant wait for the Spurs to play Boston. lol

[j.dizzle]

Whatever happen to Rondo the supposed All Star?

i'd take candace parker over rondo any day :lol

LeBron training with Team USA and players like Kobe has made his D so much better.

[lefty]

lololololololol

[Armando]

My god, so much ownaged. I cant wait for the Spurs to play Boston. lol



I am telling Ainge needs to call Nellie about Stephen Jackson. You now something is not right when an NBA executive says that other teams are lining up to take a shot at the Celtics. Other teams are seeing how Boston handles physicality. Just ask DJ Augustin

[lefty]

LeBron training with Team USA and players like Kobe has made his D so much better.

Kobe and D in the same sentence?

[Warlord23]

Anyone else think that the Celts have blown their load early in the season, and can't seem to get their second wind?

They had a pretty rough championship run, considering they played hard in the regular season, and then won their 4 playoff series in 7, 7, 6 and 6 games. Since no one on that team (including the coach) has won anything before, they may have fallen into a trap by going too hard at it early in the season (27-2 start).

Going deep into consecutive playoff runs is like running a marathon, the Celtics have been sprinting and are gasping for air now

[Larry89]

why the fuck is Scalabrine in the NBA

[Armando]

LeBron training with Team USA and players like Kobe has made his D so much better.



I don't think is that per se. Yes his D is alot better then I seen. I think what it is is winning breeds more winning. Is no accident that Wade,Howard,James and even Melo are having great seasons thus far.

[KidCongo]

Kobe and D in the same sentence?

I'm sure Kobe offered tips and they would have lined up against each-other in practice.

[lefty]

Mike Brown WTF

Anyone else think that the Celts have blown their load early in the season, and can't seem to get their second wind?

They had a pretty rough championship run, considering they played hard in the regular season, and then won their 4 playoff series in 7, 7, 6 and 6 games. Since no one on that team (including the coach) has won anything before, they may have fallen into a trap by going too hard at it early in the season (27-2 start).

Going deep into consecutive playoff runs is like running a marathon, the Celtics have been sprinting and are gasping for air now


I still think they will be fine. They are going to have one game when everything gets back on track. They are too good of a team to stay in the dumps for too long. But thier aura of invincibilty has been stripped.

[Reck]

why the fuck is Scalabrine in the NBA

Same reason why Jacque Vaughn is. :depressed

[lefty]

I'm sure Kobe offered tips and they would have lined up against each-other in practice.

Actually Kobe is a good defender..

...when he wants to play D

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm impressed with Lebron's defense tonight. His transition defense in particular has been very good. No easy baskets whatsoever for Boston.

[Armando]

Yes do you guys remember Game 3 of the Finals. He took Rondo completely out of the game. Like you said is when Kobe feels like playing defense.

[j.dizzle]

why the fuck is Scalabrine in the NBA

sometimes i ask ppl the same exact question..not Brian Scalabrine in general but there are a ton of players in the nba that would get lit up if they went & played at a local ymca :lol..making a shitload of money when you suck & play 30 seconds a game..life aint fair haha

[hitmanyr2k]

KG is paying so much attention to Lebron on help defense Varejao could slip the pick anytime for an easy dunk or layup if he wanted to. He needs to try that on at least one possession this quarter.

[lefty]

Garnett is garnetting

What an #%^&&$

[dirk4mvp]

LeBron's defense this game is incredible.

[lefty]

Doc Rivers exposed

[lefty]

Mvp !!!!!!

[dirk4mvp]

oh that shot was ridiculous.

[Warlord23]

This is why I think Cavs with HCA seem damn near unbeatable this year. If Boston doesn't get to play game 7 at home every series they aren't getting out of the East

[lefty]

Damn, Lebron, whattaplaya

[j.dizzle]

This is why I think Cavs with HCA seem damn near unbeatable this year. If Boston doesn't get to play game 7 at home every series they aren't getting out of the East

true dat boston would of lost to atlanta last year if they didnt have homecourt :lol

I agree

[DazedAndConfused]

The Celtics defense seems to be OK. It's the offense that is horrific.

I mean they make so many idiotic turnovers. And nobody seems to be making outside shots. I think I've seen Eddie House brick 20 straight jumpers, he's awful.

[lefty]

Garnett LOL

Extremly idiotic turnovers. I guess Rondo still thinks West plays for Boston.

[timtonymanu]

why the fuck is Scalabrine in the NBA

ironically he's leading the Celtics in +/-.

[hitmanyr2k]

Pierce can't handle Lebron without someone playing shadow help defense. He's too good with the dribble.

[lil_penny]

Ok I've seen enough lebron games now to say he is easily the greatest player in the nba right now.. you would never see kobe or wade play like he does on both ends of the floor.. lebron is incredible. Its also great to see boston getting beat down so often.. they don't even look the same as last year.

Rondo can't Make a freethrow, a jump shot, or a lay in.. what the hell is he good for? except maybe a few passes. This dude sucks.

[Warlord23]

So does this change Pierce's opinion of who the best player in basketball is? Or is he so stupid he doesn't recognize a bitch-slapping when he sees it?

[lefty]

Woooooooow

[dirk4mvp]

wow

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn...with the left hand :lol

[td4mvp21]

Lebron is putting on a show.

[Reck]

Boston is all done.

[SpursFanFirst]

Boston is falling apart before our eyes :elephant

[pawe]

Take that in the ass KG! That's the way to shut that fucking chocolate stick, beat his arrogant punk ass on the court. GJ CAVS!

[lefty]

Owning Rondo and Allen with one move :lmao

[lefty]

2009 Celtics remind me more and more of 2007 Mavs

[KidCongo]

He's only 24.

[hitmanyr2k]

Take that in the ass KG! That's the way to shut that fucking chocolate stick, beat his arrogant punk ass on the court. GJ CAVS!

I don't think you'll see ESPN marketing KG as Boston's "leader" like they were earlier in the season lol. I always knew that was a joke.

[j.dizzle]

lebron- tell me how my ass tastes boston haha hes raping the whole team by himself

[SpursFanFirst]

2009 Celtics remind me more and more of 2007 Mavs

That's funny. I was thinking that exact same thing this evening!

[Armando]

I can't believe Rivers actually said his team is fragile. A championship team should never be called fragile. A team with Allen,Pierce and KG fragile?

[DazedAndConfused]

Lebron's defense is what separates him from Kobe right now. His impact on the game is unmatched by any perimeter player, hell by any player in the NBA right now. He doesn't need a jumpshot if his team can D up like this every night.

Cavs right now are looking like the best team in the league. Better than the Lakers.

[lefty]

Not only Lebron is dominating the NBA, but he has great charisma.

His commercials are funny as hell

[lefty]

Allenne with an unclutch open 3

[lefty]

That's funny. I was thinking that exact same thing this evening!

:toast

[td4mvp21]

Hack-a-Ben :lol

Now, is the media and ESPN going to make a huge ass deal out of it or are they gonna give it a free pass since it's Boston?

[Armando]

Ok I've seen enough lebron games now to say he is easily the greatest player in the nba right now.. you would never see kobe or wade play like he does on both ends of the floor.. lebron is incredible.

Have you really seen Heat and Lakers games? Other then against Portland.

[IronMexican]

Sons, the Rockets are tied with OKC

They do look like the best team and that's scary considering Boston and LA are both very, very strong teams.

[Armando]

Hack-a-Ben :lol

Can't blame them. You have to make them pay for keeping Wallace on the floor.

[td4mvp21]

Oh and KG ain't talkin' shit now :lol Little pussy

i was wondering the same thing, most likely they will give it a free pass.

[SpursFanFirst]

Oh and KG ain't talkin' shit now :lol Little pussy

I wish he would though. Just imagine the entertainment value!

[KidCongo]

Offensive board hahaha

[Spurs Brazil]

Hack a Ben :lol

Fuck the Celtics

[lefty]

Oh and KG ain't talkin' shit now :lol Little pussy

He did slightly bump LBJ's shoulders a few minutes ago

[lil_penny]

yes sir, ill be honest I havnt seen a large amount of heat games but still a good amount though. I do watch a lot of lakers games though and based on this season alone neither kobe or wade compete with james on both ends of the floor.. these are my observations from the games I've seen.

[lefty]

Nowitzki to Terry while watching tonight's game: " See? we are not the only ones "

[SpursFanFirst]

This game is making me very happy. :)

[hitmanyr2k]

I like how Ben is putting a lot of air under his free throws. It always gives the ball a chance to go in when you arc it instead of doing a line drive like Shaq's dumbass.

[td4mvp21]

I wish he would though. Just imagine the entertainment value!

:lol I'm glad he finally shut up to be honest!


He did slightly bump LBJ's shoulders a few minutes ago
Right, because that bitch didn't have a damn word to say.

[lefty]

Doc Rivers needs to give Sam Cassell more minutes, or things are gonna get worse for Boston

They need real leadership; plus Cassell can shoot, unlike Rondo

[KidCongo]

This game is making me very happy. :)

Same.

[ManuTP9]

lmao celtics go for the hack a ben agian and wallace is still knocking the free throws down lol

[BruceBowenFan]

I like how Ben is putting a lot of air under his free throws. It always gives the ball a chance to go in when you arc it instead of doing a line drive like Shaq's dumbass.

I have never seen such a high arching free throw.

[SpursFanFirst]

hmmm...dallas? phoenix? which team do I root for?

Look at where the Heat are with that roster. Is nothing short of amazing that Wade has that team in the playoff chase.

[lefty]

Off topic: who will beat the Suns at the buzzer with a 3 tonight ?

[BruceBowenFan]

Off topic: who will beat the Suns at the buzzer with a 3 tonight ?

i would have to say jason terry.

[Armando]

Diop

[SpursFanFirst]

:lmao Garnett!

[lefty]

i would have to say jason terry.

Mason from the left corner
Granger facing the basket

So terry FTW from the right corner

[Reck]

Were those tears I saw from Pierce? :lol

[td4mvp21]

hmmm...dallas? phoenix? which team do I root for?

They both have the same # of losses; I say root for Phoenix since Dallas is in our division.

[lefty]

Diop

That would be funny if that really happens

[BruceBowenFan]

:lmao the crowd chanting overrated.

[BruceBowenFan]

Mason from the left corner
Granger facing the basket

So terry FTW from the right corner

that would be funny.

[lefty]

Now I know why Scalabrine has the best +/- on his team : garbage time

[KidCongo]

The Cavs have the Hornets at home in a week then they play the Lakers and Blazers on the road a few days after that. 3 BIG GAMES.

[lil_penny]

Can't argue with you there wade is doing a great job.

[Reck]

Haha all this Celtics pussies are crying now. Hahahahahahhaha

[lefty]

Good tests

[Armando]

Were those tears I saw from Pierce? :lol



IDK but is must be frustrating for him other then this game he is the only one on that team playing well.

[SpursFanFirst]

the c's gave lost 7 of 9. awesome :clap

[td4mvp21]

The Cavs have the Hornets at home in a week then they play the Lakers and Blazers on the road a few days after that. 3 BIG GAMES.

Can your team beat the Hornets? That would be great.

[Armando]

I sense a trap game coming up at Memphis.

[SpursFanFirst]

is there confetti floating behind lebron? it's a regular season game, people!

edit: maybe not.

[Armando]

is there confetti floating behind lebron? it's a regular season game, people!



For real last I checked the Celts still have the rings. :lol

[KidCongo]

Can your team beat the Hornets? That would be great.

Yes, and the Lakers.:hat

[SpursFanFirst]

For real last I checked the Celts still have the rings. :lol

I thought it was, but it was just the flashing from cameras.

[Armando]

I can't wait for the Boston game on 1/19.

[Obstructed_View]

So who thinks KG will get at least a fine for that forearm to Lebron's throat?
