Celtics vs Cavs, Game 2

[picc84]

When the season started I thought the Big Shaquisition was the best thing to happen to Boston.

[TampaDude]

If the Celtics advance, y'all think they'd get by Orlando???

[picc84]

dang, very good 3rd quarter by the celtics

better stay a blowout so that the spurs game will be shown in its entirety

Forgot we've got a whole other game tonight.

Gonna be a good night. :toast

[redzero]

Celtics in six. I've been saying this all year long.

And lol people coming in the thread now because it's a blowout.

[TampaDude]

Celtics in six. I've been saying this all year long.

And lol people coming in the thread now because it's a blowout.

Hey, redzero...what's with the lizard guy in your sig???

[DJ Mbenga]

Shh... I'm hoping Mike Brown doesn't realize that.

dont worry. brown is too much of a coward to bench shaq and play hickson

[TampaDude]

With ease. Howard is the second biggest joke in the league, right behind James.

Y'all hoping for some payback for 2008???

[LnGrrrR]

If the Celtics advance, y'all think they'd get by Orlando???

We took them to 7 without KG, so it's possible, but not likely. The Big 3 are a year older and the Magic played great even without Howard.

I'd give the Celts a 30% possibility. Then again, I figured Cleveland would be playing MUCH better than they are.

Edit: Obviously, I'm a sports pessimist. :lol

[DJ Mbenga]

wow doc not fucking around. rondo already back

[The_Dude]

Is Doc Rivers trying to injure Rondo? Why is he coming in?

[TampaDude]

Rondo about to get dime #20...

[Ghazi]

With ease. Howard is the second biggest joke in the league, right behind James.

sup SpursDynasty :)

[LnGrrrR]

Rondo about to get dime #20...

This is why he's back in. Like I said, if we're still up by 20 with five minutes left, he'll sit.

And if they get within ten, he'll be back.

[myhc]

If the Celtics advance, y'all think they'd get by Orlando???

Kenny should ask Chuck after the game.

[Hank the Tank]

Sheeeed! lol

[portpower_11]

Rasheed really has a nice game

[DJ Mbenga]

omg sheed's fat ass can still dunk?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Mike Brown is one giant dumbass. Why would he try to play a slow paced grind it out game with Boston, he should be trying to push the tempo.

[TDomination]

Did i hear a subtle amount of boos?

[LnGrrrR]

Wow... how do you leave KG THAT open in the post?

[Fpoonsie]

:lol

Holy shit. How does THAT happen?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lmao too fucking easy

THE CAVS ARE HAVING THEIR SHIT PUUUSHHED IN BRO BIG TIME!!!

[Banzai]

cleveland getting owned right now.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Boston players should be talking shit right now and fouling very hard on every play.


Just so Cleveland knows KG can still bully niggas :lol

[icem]

LOL cavs... overrated ass team

[Chillen]

If Boston wins tonights game they could very well head back to Cleveland up 3-1, they have the experience to accomplish it, the Cavs better win one in Boston.

[TampaDude]

Did i hear a subtle amount of boos?

Why, yes you did. Expect them to become less subtle here soon.

[oh crap]

lol @ the cavs being exposed. contenders my ass

[Capt Bringdown]

If the Celts keep playing like this, they'll be in the finals.
Orlando is another over-rated Leastern farce of a team. Rashard Lewis? hahah ah ahahhah

[SPURSCHAMP]

cavs getting fucked

[j.dizzle]

LOL Lebron is a beast but Kobe will never look like he aint even trying like Lebron right now. Kobe would be cussing out his teammates for playing like this. Jameson & MO williams fuckin suck dick on defense, good god.

[Spurologist]

1-9 FG 0-4 3 pt FG 4 pts

Guess who????????

[Ghazi]

Huh??? The only trolls I have re princess peanut and a Rappin troll, and I forgot that name.

JK :lol... he always shits on D-Ho and Lebron.

[portpower_11]

LOL no Big Z and 17 mins for Shaq

Cavs have the big two just for matchups with L.A.

[Killakobe81]

The clock struck midnight on Mo willams (again)
if lebron is smart he would sign with a decent PG and give up some ballhandling duiyes he may lose some assists but if you paired him with another elite passer Lebron might win 3 titles in a row ....

He still the fave for this one ...but Mo is a weaklink

Also his coach sucks ...

[Ghazi]

I can't believe how superior the Celtics look after how shitty they looked for the last 50 games of the seasons. lots of injuries but still.

They appear to have 4 of the 5 best players on the court..

[KidCongo]

Playing like a bunch of pussies. Especially LeBron on his day.

[j.dizzle]

shut the fuck up reggie, seriously.

[portpower_11]

1-9 FG 0-4 3 pt FG 4 pts

Guess who????????


Mo, he is a much better player than Terry though

[Killakobe81]

LOL no Big Z and 17 mins for Shaq

Cavs have the big two just for matchups with L.A.

Wont matter Cavs better with Verablow and Hickson

[myhc]

Mo with the TO....Wouldn't it be funny if they accidentally played the Godfather theme right about now.

[Tmac&Luther]

Playing like a bunch of pussies. Especially LeBron on his day.

This is the difference between todays game and the 80s and 90s. I don't care what anybody says the playoffs today aren't near as epic as they were back in the day. The last great playoff series I really saw what the Kings and Lakers. Everything else is too hot and cold.

:toast That was REAL basketball, ppl getting thrown all over the place n shit...This shit is just so god damn boring these days & you cant even touch a player without getting a foul.

[TDomination]

shut the fuck up reggie, seriously.
you can say that again lol

Should be a life and death type of game but no they'll go back and 'work on some things'.

[Budkin]

Damn what is wrong with the Cavs?

[Spurologist]

Mo, he is a much better player than Terry though

Really? Terry has had better numbers this year but I'd say it's a wash. They are both chuckers, with no D, and tend to disappear. When they do disappear, they are pretty much useless. Exhibit A = Mo Williams tonight

[Budkin]

:toast That was REAL basketball, ppl getting thrown all over the place n shit...This shit is just so god damn boring these days & you cant even touch a player without getting a foul.

It was when they added that stupid hand check rule that shit went downhill and guys like Steve Nash started winning MVPs.

[TampaDude]

That should be a T on Pierce.

[DJ Mbenga]

lmao mo flop

[picc84]

Is Pierce going to show up to this series?

[j.dizzle]

LOLLLLL beer bottles on floor & MO flopping like a little bitch, wowwwwwwwww

[Pistons < Spurs]

weak ass tech call

[LnGrrrR]

Are you SERIOUS?

Cmon! There should be a flagrant on MO for that obvious flop.

[TampaDude]

:toast That was REAL basketball, ppl getting thrown all over the place n shit...This shit is just so god damn boring these days & you cant even touch a player without getting a foul.

WERD...bring back Laimbeer and the "Bad Boys"!!! :toast

[DJ Mbenga]

ball dont lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

ball don't lie!

[Lp26]

The Celts played the Cavs tough in the reg season too, at least the last game i remember :lol

Never did i think i'd be so happy too see BOS winning. If only they didn't choke away Game 1 . . .

[Bob Lanier]

Ball don't lie! :rollin

[KidCongo]

Give the ball to JJ!!

[The_Dude]

Any contact after the whistle , especially like that, will be a T.

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics need to tighten stuff up. Too many stupid fouls, lazy on the rotation on D.

[Capt Bringdown]

I tend to agree, but there were blowouts between the Lakers and Celtics during the Magic/Bird era.

I've always considered the Magic/Bird era to be the best basketball I've ever seen. You had legends at every position.

For me, the NBA started to go downhill with their 80's/90's expansion, which produced a watered-down league, which led to the Jordan era.

[TampaDude]

LOL Sheed...BALL DON'T LIE!!! :lol

[4>0rings]

Celtics giving up the most 4th quarter leads in the NBA. :lol

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

I picked Boston to win this series, anyone else?

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4293579#post4293579



My take, for what it's worth.

Boston has seemed to me most of this season to be headed for an early playoff exit.

However. Game 1 vs. the Heat, they seemed headed for yet another home loss and suddenly started playing the defense they did two years ago.

Now, that was just the Heat, but still, it has to give Boston confidence.

This is Boston's last shot with their big 3. LeBron has 10 years ahead of him and will probably win 2 to 3 rings in that span, whether he stays or goes.

I won't pick Boston to win it all, let alone the east, but they will beat Cleveland if they can get a split in the first two.

Celtics over Cavs in 6.

The Celtics fans in this thread need to be a bit more confident in my opinion. This series is going to be a war.

[KidCongo]

Put Boobie in, take Mo out and watch the 3's rain.

[redzero]

Celtics choking. Hold on to your butts.

[picc84]

Why would the league schedule Spurs/Suns for 10:30 when they know the first game wont even be close to over by that time.

[portpower_11]

Really? Terry has had better numbers this year but I'd say it's a wash. They are both chuckers, with no D, and tend to disappear. When they do disappear, they are pretty much useless. Exhibit A = Mo Williams tonight


:lol,

then

I hope that cuban can trade Terry for Mo

[j.dizzle]

Celtics sleepwalking now, if this gets within 10 with 3-4 left you never know what can happen

[The_Dude]

Why would the league schedule Spurs/Suns for 10:30 when they know the first game wont even be close to over by that time.

Games are normally between 2.5 and 3, so it's cutting it close. It's because the games are on TNT.

[The_Dude]

Boston Choke-its?

[TDomination]

lol

[DJ Mbenga]

lol travel on that dunk

[LnGrrrR]

*sigh*

Boston, for once, why can't you just put your foot on the throat of an opponent?

[Killakobe81]

you can say that again lol

Im a UCLA alumni and I THINK he sucks as an announcer he is smart, but talks with what sounds like a lisp ...stutters too much, and just sucks ...

Helluva a player though ...

[bostonguy]

*sigh*

Boston, for once, why can't you just put your foot on the throat of an opponent?

:bang:bang:bang

No kidding LNG. :depressed

[picc84]

LMAO doing the same thing they did in game 1

[Pistons < Spurs]

Boston better wake the fuck up. I'm gonna be pissed if they let them bitch ass Cavs get this one.

[Tmac&Luther]

:lol LMAO at Harden for thinking that play will make a difference in this game.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

If I hear anyone talk about LeBron's elbow again, I'll puke. Marv Albert is a Knicks homer, he used to be public announcer at MSG. Maybe Marv kisses his butt because he wants him in NY.

[Tmac&Luther]

Boston better wake the fuck up. I'm gonna be pissed if they let them bitch ass Cavs get this one.

Dude, this game is over

[j.dizzle]

When they were up 25, they stopped trying & fouling players on and-1's

[myhc]

damn celtics with the deer in the headlights look last few minutes.

[Spurologist]

not so fast my friends

[bostonguy]

Now Pierce with 5 fouls! Another fucking turnover. I knew this shit was gonna happen. Even up 25, I just saw this coming.

[DJ Mbenga]

omg the flopping is getting ridiculous(even though it was a foul)

[LnGrrrR]

Can the Cavs fall down without flopping? Even if it's a legitimate foul?

[The_Dude]

I honestly think the Cavs feel they can "turn it on" whenever they want. Well, bad news, it doesn't work.

[Killakobe81]

This could be the GREATEST comeback or CHOCKE in NBA playoff history ...

The Blazers fans are PRAYING for the Celts to surpass THEIR failure ...LOL

[Capt Bringdown]

Why all the hate for LeBron?

Compared to all the pricks in Celtic green (both on the court and in the stands) LeBron seems like a pretty cool dude.
Same-same for Laker yellow. Compared to Kobe, LeBron seems like a real human being.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Isn't that a normal NBA call...just sayin

[4>0rings]

:lmao the refs want to see the Celtics choke.

[myhc]

that's not a fouL??

[j.dizzle]

Pierce flopping like a little bitch

[The_Dude]

PP bad flop. You can't lean into him, you need to jump. LeBron avoided the contact.

[Tmac&Luther]

Sorry, that was a foul.....if you get a player in the air and he hits you.....it's a foul.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol not a foul??

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics REALLY need to slow this game down, rotate the ball for good looks, and stop committing stupid reach-in/and 1 fouls.

[DJ Mbenga]

FT contest

[pauls931]

:lol

Isn't that a normal NBA call...just sayin

Ref's changing the rules on the fly to help the cavs comeback. Celt's are not going to get any calls, good luck Rivers...

I hate what Pierce tried, but odd that the refs change how they call this suddenly.

[TDomination]

lol at the rondo foul

[Killakobe81]

Lebron or Kobe gets that call Pierce you are NOT n THAT level ...

Celts had a chance to choke the life out of Cavs now they are JUST CHOKING ...

[The_Dude]

that's not a fouL??

Now when the defensive player avoids the contact. Pierce actually initiated by leaning into LeBron.

[myhc]

celtics in the penalty now. if you're the cavs, or lebron, you drive it to the hole every single time.

[Tmac&Luther]

PP bad flop. You can't lean into him, you need to jump. LeBron avoided the contact.

Lebron hit him. Peirce baited him..but Lebron hit him.

[BRHornet45]

here come the whistles!!!

[bostonguy]

:lmao:lmao:lmao


Now these fucks are committing silly fouls, stopping the clock, and giving the Cavs free throws!

[LnGrrrR]

PP bad flop. You can't lean into him, you need to jump. LeBron avoided the contact.

Uhm... LeBron pretty obviously hit him.

[picc84]

Nice eye flop by West. :lol

[bostonguy]

celtics in the penalty now. if you're the cavs, or lebron, you drive it to the hole every single time.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

LOL REFS stop being so fucking obvious.

[Lp26]

Why do the Celtics always do THIS?! :bang

[KidCongo]

I want to be angry at the Cavaliers and every fucking player but this is bullshit. Why start playing now?

[Spurologist]

Mike Brown has found his balls

[pauls931]

Holy shit!!!

[Tmac&Luther]

The only thing that's going on now is the score is going to be closer than the game really was. Celtics got this.

[TDomination]

wow, out of bounds off boston??

[4>0rings]

:lmao these refs, clearly out on Cavs.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

WTF? Boston may lose this. Both teams want to choke! The Orlando Magic are licking their chops and can't wait to play the winner.

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao

NBA REFS

[Pistons < Spurs]

that should be Boston ball

[DJ Mbenga]

wow the refs are in full force

[Killakobe81]

Why all the hate for LeBron?

Compared to all the pricks in Celtic green (both on the court and in the stands) LeBron seems like a pretty cool dude.
Same-same for Laker yellow. Compared to Kobe, LeBron seems like a real human being.

Ok yeah walking around with a Chosen One tatoo is what real human beings do ...

They are all pricks Lebron too ...EXCEPT teh Spurs of course LOL!

[Fpoonsie]

Woooow. Cs gettin some REALLY unfortunate whistles.

[The_Dude]

Uhm... LeBron pretty obviously hit him.

Dude they showed the replay. LeBron avoid the contact and Pierce stepped right into him.

[LnGrrrR]

Reggie Miller is such a pussy... "It could've easily been out on JJ Hickson"...

No it WAS out on JJ Hickson, you pussy announcer. Call it like it is. I hate that shit.

[Greg Oden]

holy shit. that's the worst obvious call I've ever seen. Out on Perkins? For real?

[Tmac&Luther]

LOL REFS stop being so fucking obvious.

I know, it's hilarious. :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

LOL REFS stop being so fucking obvious.

[portpower_11]

Boston chokes!

0 pt in 5 mins

[Capt Bringdown]

Jamison with the big miss, what else is new?

[Pistons < Spurs]

finally, the C's score.

[TampaDude]

This is NOT happening...

[pauls931]

Celts need a bucket. Can't believe they didn't find something to call on pierce's layin, offensive foul for breathing lebron's air or something like that.

[Tmac&Luther]

Game over, can we please get to the SA game already?

[portpower_11]

If Aj make the three, Cavs can right come back to the game!

[bostonguy]

WTF? Boston may lose this. Both teams want to choke! The Orlando Magic are licking their chops and can't wait to play the winner.

Orlando's best shot at the finals is by facing Boston. They want nothing to do with the Cavs.

[timtonymanu]

Ok yeah walking around with a Chosen One tatoo is what real human beings do ...

They are all pricks Lebron too ...EXCEPT teh Spurs of course LOL!

plus acting like a sore loser against the Magic and getting dunked on by a sophomore and having the tapes taken away.

[myhc]

ROFLs. that was Hickson who last touched the ball. NBA REFS

[Killakobe81]

Mo the weak link again ...

Cavs may come through Celts ...cant believe they didnt just shit their mouths and coast to victory but hey they are the Celts ...all swag less substance than in 2008 ...

But who is Mo gonna guard vs the Magic?

[The_Dude]

Boston just lost a lot of confidence heading back home...

[bostonguy]

Game over, can we please get to the SA game already?

As long as Lebron is on the court, the game is NEVER over.

[lefty]

In other news, the Suns-Spurs game has been postponed to tomorrow, due to whistle blows

[LnGrrrR]

Sheed with a stupid foul....

Celtics, why are you fouling when LeBron drives? Just let him take it to the hole and hope you can get a charge on him.

[BRHornet45]

the ball don't lie like the refs do!!!

[The_Dude]

I bet the Cavs wish they could make foul shots. They'd be winning!

[pauls931]

looks like ref's are back to reality.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

too bad the refs can't make the free throw for lebron :cry

[TampaDude]

Ballgame...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Boston just lost a lot of confidence heading back home...

Nah. They rarely close out opponents well... I think they're used to it by now.

[Bob Lanier]

Perk running the break! :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Ok yeah walking around with a Chosen One tatoo is what real human beings do ...


Seems like an understandable folly of youth.

Unlike rape, throwing your teammates under the bus, holding a press conference to present your wife with a "I'm sorry" ring and weeping like Richard Simmons...

[The_Dude]

Briiiiiick.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

rofl Lebron can't take advantage of the refs.

[KidCongo]

I bet the Cavs wish they could make foul shots. They'd be winning!

So frustrating.

[BRHornet45]

son this has been one hell of a Monday Night Raw in Cleveland ... although I thought WWE was on channel USA

[Fpoonsie]

:lol

Is there a funnier sound than "M-V-awwww" after a FT line brick?

[Lp26]

Boston just lost a lot of confidence heading back home...

THIS.

but it looks the Celtics are rebounding slightly. In the future though, someone needs to explain to them when the game REALLY ends.

[The_Dude]

Did the refs just ignore the intentional foul and let Garnett convert a 3pt play?

[KidCongo]

Well it was an interesting little spurt but this team has to fuckin play 48 minutes. It's the playoffs for fucks sake.

[myhc]

holy crap did Mo complain about the foul after delonte slapped KG in the head?

:lol

[LnGrrrR]

son this has been one hell of a Monday Night Raw in Cleveland ... although I thought WWE was on channel USA

:lol

This game is an example of why it's so hard to come back from 20 down... even if the team ahead chokes, usually they can wake up after 10-15 points.

[The_Dude]

holy crap did Mo complain about the foul after delonte slapped KG in the head?

:lol

He complained because they intentionally fouled Perkins and the refs didn't call it.

[TampaDude]

Damn...can we please get over to the damn Spurs-Suns game???

[lefty]

A timeout?

Switch to phoenix already

[LnGrrrR]

Did the refs just ignore the intentional foul and let Garnett convert a 3pt play?

Edit: When you intentionally foul someone, you have to foul them... not just brush your hand past their shirt as they walk by. :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lol

Is there a funnier sound than "M-V-awwww" after a FT line brick?

Yup...no surprises here... :toast

Now Sheed will get lots of minutes in the series and suck. :lol

Cavs better get their shite together if they plan to win in Boston.

Edit: Too bad Rondo couldn't get dime number 20.

"guys don't worry. we tried to get Lebron back in it tonight, but its a long series. Lebron will go to the finals this year, but keep in mind that the more games played the more money for all of us" - David Stern moments ago

I dont care i like Kobe as a player dont worship as a player or person even my all time favorite Magic was a great guy shitty husband ...

Oh, well. I lived in SA for a few years their guys seem genuine even that prick Bowen (off the court)

But unlike you I dont judge him or anyone else as being better than the othert MOST NBA players are self entitled pricks ...but they have their asses kissed for years what do you expect.

Save that anti-Kobe shit for somewhere else doesnt bother me and I refuse to respond to it. I am not Dr. Phil ...

I post here to discuss BASKETBALL if you want or care about that drama crap watch "Basketball wives" not the NBA ...rookie.

[redzero]

LeBron made a bee line to the locker room.

[The_Dude]

Edit: When you intentionally foul someone, you have to foul them... not just brush your hand past their shirt as they walk by. :lol

He grabbed him around the waist. Do you watch the game on an 8" black and white tv?

[CubanMustGo]

... and then we get five minutes of interviews with KG and the rest of the Boston fools before they switch to SA-PHX.

[Scola]

lol, there were like 9 cavs players on the floor with like 8 seconds left. :lol

[TampaDude]

Edit: Too bad Rondo couldn't get dime number 20.

Damn...I was really hoping he'd get #20 tonight...

[bostonguy]

Nice response. I still expect the Cavs to win this series, but it's nice to see them put up a fight and hold onto a lead.:lol

[Killakobe81]

Even though Cavs got some confidence ...I think the ability for Doc to chew them out after a win ...will be helpful ...same for Lakers ...

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

suicide alert in Cleveland.

[The_Dude]

suicide alert in Cleveland.

Nah, I don't think so. They laid an egg and Boston got an All-Star performance from Rasheed. The chances of that happening again are like Hailey's Comet - once every 76 years or whatever the hell it is.

[Lp26]

Are the Celts still really strong at home? I haven't really been paying attention to their record this season.

[LnGrrrR]

He grabbed him around the waist. Do you watch the game on an 8" black and white tv?

On the same play where KG converted the And 1?

He BARELY grabbed/touched his waist.

Look, when you intentionally foul someone, you just bearhug them. You know... to make it obvious? You don't brush your hand against someone's hips on a man away from the ball.

[BRHornet45]

sons Rasheed sums it up for it ... there ARE NO KINGS IN CLEVELAND

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LMlNUk5WvQ

[SomeCallMeTim]

I love it when KG blocks shots after the whistle.

Yeah, I've always liked that trademark move of his. Did he "invent" that? Don't recall anyone else doing it before him. Now Amar'e does it too.

[LnGrrrR]

Nah, I don't think so. They laid an egg and Boston got an All-Star performance from Rasheed. The chances of that happening again are like Hailey's Comet - once every 76 years or whatever the hell it is.

Right, because the fact that the Cavs were also down big in Game 1 before coming back has no bearing.

[bostonguy]

He grabbed him around the waist. Do you watch the game on an 8" black and white tv?

Do you think Mo Williams is better than Rondo?

[Danny.Zhu]

Cavs should have traded Shaq for Haywood+Butler...

In that case they would be better than Celtics and Mavs could have beaten us...

[Capt Bringdown]

Save that anti-Kobe shit for somewhere else doesnt bother me and I refuse to respond to it. I am not Dr. Phil ...

I post here to discuss BASKETBALL if you want or care about that drama crap watch "Basketball wives" not the NBA ...rookie.

OHRLY, it seems your taking my opinions personally. "Refuse to respond" is exactly what you didn't do.

Perhaps if your so upset by my posts you should add me to your ignore list. So sorry to injure your fragile hero-worship.

[The_Dude]

Right, because the fact that the Cavs were also down big in Game 1 before coming back has no bearing.

Down big? 11 points isn't big, boss. Especially against Boston, the biggest chokers of leads in the league. :lol

[The_Dude]

Do you think Mo Williams is better than Rondo?

Do you think ice is warmer than the sun? What kind of a retarded question is that? Mo Williams is a joke 98% of the time.

Are you new to basketball? Sure as hell looks like it.

[picc84]

I fully expect that by the end of the series the refs will be actual doctors, officiating the game in scrubs and tending to Lebron's elbow during every timeout.

[DJ Mbenga]

Nah, I don't think so. They laid an egg and Boston got an All-Star performance from Rasheed. The chances of that happening again are like Hailey's Comet - once every 76 years or whatever the hell it is.

you cant waste a +20 Ft advantage

[The_Dude]

On the same play where KG converted the And 1?

He BARELY grabbed/touched his waist.

Look, when you intentionally foul someone, you just bearhug them. You know... to make it obvious? You don't brush your hand against someone's hips on a man away from the ball.


No, not in a game where there have been T's and flagrants. Grabbing the player is enough to constitute the foul. You don't need to wrap them up with a bear hug.

[Lp26]

The one problem BOS will have is that if the game is close in the last 5 minutes, the LeBron whistles will come out.

[The_Dude]

you cant waste a +20 Ft advantage

The Cavs can get away with it, and have, if they actually run their offense the way it should be run. This means not involving Shaq.

[Greg Oden]

lol spurs

[Killakobe81]

OHRLY, it seems your taking my opinions personally. "Refuse to respond" is exactly what you didn't do.

Perhaps if your so upset by my posts you should add me to your ignore list. So sorry to injure your fragile hero-worship.

I responded but not to the drama stuff ... just pointed out all NBA players are pricks ...Im not mad it's all good.

I was hoping to educate your holier than thou ass ...

But if you dont wanna or incapable of an intelligent discussion why should I bother?

Here is a test is any one sin greater than another? Isnt eNVY just as bad as LUST?

Think on that for a minute and get back to me ...

[SASPURS09]

Big Z should be fuckin pissed off to come back to cleveland for this shit

[bostonguy]

Do you think ice is warmer than the sun? What kind of a retarded question is that?


That wasn't the question I asked. It had nothing to do with ice and the sun.




Are you new to basketball?

Nah

[The_Dude]

That wasn't the question I asked. It had nothing to do with ice and the sun.

Nah

Well, now we know who rides the short bus to school.

[LnGrrrR]

Down big? 11 points isn't big, boss. Especially against Boston, the biggest chokers of leads in the league. :lol

Considering that the Cavs were favorites, I would think that Cleveland is a lot more concerned than Boston is.

[LnGrrrR]

No, not in a game where there have been T's and flagrants. Grabbing the player is enough to constitute the foul. You don't need to wrap them up with a bear hug.

Obviously they did need to, as it wasn't called.

If you want an intentional foul, you should probably make it look... I don't know... intentional?

[redzero]

Here, have some of the best photoshop has to offer.

You asked me a question about ice and the sun followed by another question asking how retarded did I think it was. Now you are talking about yourself riding the short bus to school?

What does that have to do with basketball? :lmao

[Jacob1983]

Stern is trying to get Lebron and the Cavs to the Finals but it's sad that the Cavs and Lebron can't take advantage of the help. I wonder if Stern is thinking about a rematch of the 2008 Finals? This time the Lakers would have the homecourt advantage in the Finals if it was between the Lakers and Celtics.

[jonnybravo]

How the fuck do you lost a game when it's 2 to 1 free throw disparity in your favor. Has that happened before?

Horrific.

Lakers...2 to 1 in OKC favor. Not a peep out of fucking anyone. Same ass shit.

[Capt Bringdown]

Yeah, that David Robinson, he's a real prick.

Sin? So I'm holier than thou? You're grasping at straws.

Some players are admirable for their conduct on and off the court, some are not.
Some are community leaders and start schools, others commit rape.

There's no need to get personal with me. I believe character is an issue, and certainly not all NBA players are pricks. Again, if this bothers you, I suggest putting me on your ignore list.

[JoeTait75]

Boston played great basketball, showed the championship pedigree.

We all know if LeBron is really hurt the Cavaliers are fucked. There's no need to belabor it.

If LeBron isn't really hurt the Cavaliers can win at least one in Boston.

Cleveland Sports was in the house tonight, boys. Had the Jack Nicholson seats. Night like this is when those ghosts start coming up.

Lebron is fine Joe. Game 1 proved that. He had an off game. It happens. Cavs will be fine. As far as those ghosts theories, theyll be gone within a week. Cavs in 5 or 6. Boston just showing some fight. Nothing else.

[bostonguy]

:nope

Luva if the celts win this series, I will put "Lakaluva's bitch" as my title. Deal?

[JoeTait75]

Lebron is fine Joe.

LeBron is not fine.

[bostonguy]

LeBron is not fine.

So he had a bad game tonight. Game 1 showed that elbow isn't a serious issue. That injury isn't anything to worry about. Plus he is so damn good, he will adapt. A week from now, you'll realize I was right about this injury not being a real concern.

[picc84]

So Lebron is not fine...guess he can join the other hundred injured players in the postseason.

[KidCongo]

I liked the Mike Brown press conference.

Answer this question honestly son, would you rather win some money or would Boston losing this series make you more happy?

[bostonguy]

I want Boston to win even at the expense of me losing money. I just don't buy into the "Lebron is seriously hurt" talk.

[ChrisRichards]

LeBron is not fine.
Lebron is fine. MRI reveals no fracture no dislocation, nothing. He was great in Game 1. He was just off tonight.

[DazedAndConfused]

Lebron is fine. He has no excuses whatsoever. The elbow is a convenient copout.

The reality is the Cavs are getting outcoached badly. If they make adjustments they can still win this, but I have little faith that Mike Brown knows what to do.

And Bostonguy we all know your reverse-jinx schtick. Give it up already.

[ChrisRichards]

If Doc Rivers is smart (and I believe he is smarter than Mike Brown), he should just take advantage of the Garnett/Jamison and Rondo/MO matchup. Jamison and Mo just cannot check KG and Rondo, thats how they almost won Game 1, unfortunately Mo Williams caught fire on the offensive end, but I dont see Williams catching fire again. Let Lebron get his numbers then neutralize the other scorers. The more ISO ball Lebron plays his teammates suffers by being out of rhythm.

[TheMACHINE]

lol losing homecourt... no excuses this time...his team is STACKED!

Oh hi Dr.House.



America, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my parents basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm forty-three.

Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Jesus come move my jaw for me, help me get my sloppy food down my throat.

Can you read?! I SAID I lived in San antonio and MOST of their guys are nice. I met or saw in person: Sean Elliott, Bruce Bowen, Malik Rose, Tony & Eva and David ...all seemed nice guy.


AGAIN read my post I said EXCEPT the Spurs ...

No need to grasp at straws buddy, there is plenty between your ears ...

But IF I WERE you Id focus on all those great guys getting beat tonight...
e
And like said David is a nice guy in fact too nice on the court tonight but very overrated ON The court (which basketball wise is actually important to me)

Id take Kobe, Duncan, KG Manu and even Shaq over him anyday even though Kobe, KG and Shaq are pricks ...basketball wise any of those are better than David. IMHO that guy stuff got his ass beat until Tim came to save his ass ....

[namlook]

I liked the Mike Brown press conference.

Who was Mike Brown talking too? It sounded like he gave his locker room speech to the media.

[Andrew Bynum]

Mike Brown will be coaching the WNBA next season. LeBron will probably hook him up with NY Knicks season tickets though so that'll make things a little less dim.

[Killakobe81]

smartest post you have made in a while ...

When kobe is not the subject matter you have some great takes... you just wont admit you personally hate Kobe and his style of play and try to frame it with it's just your "neutral opinion" ... or look at the "stats" but back to your post ...

This is why you I dont put you on "ignore" because occasionally you post a gem.

Agree Lebron will be fine and Cavs will (should) win in 6 (or 7)

BUT you are right on about KG & Rondo ...in fact when Charles pointed that as an advantage that Jamison would "dominate" KG I almost fell out on the floor laughing.

I like Jamison even back in his ACC days ...but even on 1.5 knees there is NO WAY KG will let him dominate THAT matchup ...because Jamison is not athletic enough to take advantage of a diminished KG. IF antawn was amare or Bosh, maybe ...

IMHO that matchup and the Obvious rondo one is a win for the Celts.
I also like ray over parker and even Perkins over Shaq (at this point in their careers)

Only advantage I give Cavs is at backup center Verejao and backup PF Hickson ...and of course Lebron>>>>Pierce ....

Im kinda starting to agree with Kenny Celts have more RELIABLE, PROVEN weapons they just older ...

I dont trust Mo, Moon, Parker or Shaq in the clutch ...

[lefty]

LeBron is not fine.
He is

[lefty]

Mike Brown will be coaching the WNBA next season. LeBron will probably hook him up with NY Knicks season tickets though so that'll make things a little less dim.
Brwon will be lucky to coach a high school team next season



Wait a second........ he is already coaching a high school team

[KidCongo]

Andy is suffering from back spasms which is why he has been less active. Let's hope the rest helps a fair bit.

[Giuseppe]

Andy is also suffering from getting "Perkined."

[DazedAndConfused]

It's put up or shutup time. Nobody cares about your injuries. This is the playoffs, every team left is playing hurt right now. It's all about who wants it more.

Lebron looked like he had zero faith in his team in the press conference last night. Mentally I just don't think he has that killer instinct yet.

[Giuseppe]

........and since media isn't goading him like they goaded in the past (MJ, Daddy, etc.) he'll probably never acquire "that killer instinct." He'll just be a check casher, extraordinaire.
