Magic vs Celtics - Game 3

[djohn2oo8]

Another sweep?

[ffadicted]

2-2 going back to florida

[j.dizzle]

Orl by 9 today, just got a feeling Rashard, Carter & Nelson will play well. Dwight just needs to hold down the paint & stay out of foul trouble.

[NewJerSpur]

Good morning, Vietnam.

[DJ Mbenga]

its about time damn softball sluts.

[cobbler]

its about time damn softball sluts.

too fuuny! You're not into thunder thighs and popeye forearms? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

And so it begins....

[NewJerSpur]

Bad pass by Nelson.

[NewJerSpur]

Orlando getting better shots to start, but just aren't hitting.

[NewJerSpur]

Good job by Howard of following the shot and not giving up on the play.

[j.dizzle]

LOL Orl missing wide open shots now, they're in a HUGE funk after hitting everything in their first 2 series'. If they get in any rhythm from three they'll win today

[j.dizzle]

Does Vince Carter play defense?

[siraulo23]

:lmao:lmao:lmao mark jackson

[djohn2oo8]

:lmao:lmao:lmao mark jackson

I missed it, what did he say?

[NewJerSpur]

Good job of stemming the Boston's early serge by Orlando, and it's nice to see them getting quality midrange jumpers to start.

[ATXSPUR]

mark jackson is on the short list of people I would love to kick in the balls.

[NewJerSpur]

I missed it, what did he say?

When commenting on the replay for Allen's dunk he did the "De, de, de, de, de" you hear before a crowd of soldiers scream charge. Mike Breen clowned him.

[j.dizzle]

LOL carter still taken 20 foot contested fadeaways when he can just drive to the rim. Orl is a not a very intelligent team.

[NewJerSpur]

You never see any of the Magic hitting the glass when Dwight shoots that fading hook.

[gaKNOW!blee]

anyone see that subtle elbow by howard?

[Bob Lanier]

Has this Orlando team actually played together before tonight?

[NewJerSpur]

Celtics making a series of passes that get higher percentage shots around the rim......Magic still trying to get it done with the drive-n-kick.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao at Orlando's passing

[j.dizzle]

No Three's = No Wins hahaha...Orl looks so confused when their 3's arent falling. Jameer Nelson is not a real PG

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Barnes was just throwing the ball to a spot on that last lob rather than actually looking at the play in front of him.

[NewJerSpur]

Nelson finally attacking the rim rather than waiting on the pick and pop.

[Ghazi]

Damn... if Boston can make Orlando/Cleveland look the way they have, how are they gonna make a mere Western Conference team look?

[4>0rings]

8 points by the end of the first? epic :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

J-will.

[NewJerSpur]

That left-handed sweeping hook sure is ugly.

[4>0rings]

Magic this bad or Celtics this good?

[NewJerSpur]

Nice play by Vince....need to get this game under 10 going into halftime; preferably keep it within the 5-7 point range. Got to stay aggressive on the perimeter and if the Celtics collapse when Howard goes to the center of the court for a move he's got to look to hit the open man.

[TampaDude]

Magic this bad or Celtics this good?

The Celtics are that good. The Lakers are in deep shit come Finals time.

[TampaDude]

Another sweep?

It's sure looking that way right now.

[NewJerSpur]

That's all Dwight Howard on that brick.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao at Big Baby bowling ball

[NewJerSpur]

Nice shot by Wallace.

[NewJerSpur]

:lmao at Big Baby bowling ball

:lol

[TampaDude]

Rondo is fucking $$$...

[Bob Lanier]

:elephant

[itzsoweezee]

LOL. Jason Williams is a horrible basketball player. How is this guy still in the league?

[NewJerSpur]

Damn shame what they did to that dog.

[Bob Lanier]

God, Boston's defense is fucking fantastic. :tu

[TampaDude]

Damn...Rondo is outplaying everyone in the fucking building!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

[4>0rings]

Williams getting clowed on national TV. Way to go for the ball dick face.

[j.dizzle]

hahahaha nice effort there White Chocolate. Orl isnt playing like this is must win game.

[itzsoweezee]

Lol @ van gundy giving the scrub jason williams playing time.

[NewJerSpur]

LOL. Jason Williams is a horrible basketball player. How is this guy still in the league?

That was pretty bad hustling, or lack there of, but he has the ability to help the Magic stay in the game from behind arc. Just can't over do it on the dribbling, which he's been known to do.

[narmerguy]

I've realized now that Orlando just doesn't have the killer instinct like Boston. Boston wants it more, much much more. It's hard to watch but Orlando just doesn't have it together.

[anakha]

Ok, which player on the Magic's banging Dwight's mom? Good Lord.

[NewJerSpur]

God, Boston's defense is fucking fantastic. :tu

Definitely showing they want it, and their rotations look pretty good.

[Bob Lanier]

:rollin

[TampaDude]

Big Baby is BALLING tonight!!!

[Ghazi]

24-6 in the paint :wow

[Venti Quattro]

I can't watch this game anymore. The Magic look pitiful out there

[j.dizzle]

Listen to the butthurtness in Van Gundys voice..Why do they make him call his brothers games? hahaha

[sa_kid20]

Ok, which player on the Magic's banging Dwight's mom? Good Lord.

My money would be on White Chocolate :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Nelson needed that.

[NewJerSpur]

There you go.

[NewJerSpur]

Need to get stops.

[j.dizzle]

24-6 in the paint :wow
:lmao at ppl callin dwight the best center in the league. Defense is good but his offensive game is hard to watch

[sefant77]

Dwight is a joke

First Sterns media clown as "bible guy", then banging porn stars and...hell, who need to spend time in the gym to develop any postgame if i can be a star anyway with just dunking every shit?

[NewJerSpur]

:lmao at ppl callin dwight the best center in the league. Defense is good but his offensive game is hard to watch

This HAS to be the summer he develops some type of jumper...he doesn't need a lot of range, just some touch. He has to be able to face-up and present a shooting threat because right now guys know he has to get to a certain spot to even attempt to get a shot off.

[TampaDude]

Just when it started to get ugly, Rondo sits and the Magic go on a run...only a 16 point game now.

Will Boston blow yet another huge lead???

[NewJerSpur]

Nice move by Rashard, good job of staying down by Garnett.

[TampaDude]

Rondo coming back in with the Celtics up by 20.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic keep getting beat on the same damn play.....the trapping they're doing is killing them on defense.

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics passing is crisp as lettuce on some plays. And that hustle play by Rondo to grab the ball on the floor, then make the layup? Sweet.

[narmerguy]

I can't watch this game anymore. The Magic look pitiful out there


:lmao at ppl callin dwight the best center in the league. Defense is good but his offensive game is hard to watch


Magic keep getting beat on the same damn play.....the trapping they're doing is killing them on defense.

Truth x 3

[NewJerSpur]

Lewis has to at least try to attack the rim when he's isolated at the top of the key with KG and Van Gundy needs to get him some more opportuinities along the baseline, possibly with some down screens. The only guy they're putting in that area is Howard.

[j.dizzle]

Orl CAN come back but doubtful, they dont look hungry. If the lead is only 12-15 by halftime then you never know.

[peskypesky]

bye bye SVG

and lol at dumbass Magic FO for thinking soft-as-Charmin Vince Carter was the answer. get the fuck out of here.

this is what they deserve for getting rid of the player that carried them in last year's playoffs

[NewJerSpur]

Even before he blocked Davis' layup, why the hell was Dwight helping on Ray Allen in the post....that's not his shot and it just left an open man on the court.

[j.dizzle]

Damn big baby has balls for a fat midget..He went straight at howard but got owned.

[sefant77]

Magic hitting 5-11 from downtown and its -19....they are dead

[sefant77]

bye bye SVG

and lol at dumbass Magic FO for thinking soft-as-Charmin Vince Carter was the answer. get the fuck out of here.

this is what they deserve for getting rid of the player that carried them in last year's playoffs

Im laughing more about that 11mio + 11 mio LT that is sitting on the bench playing mediocre minutes.

Otis "owning" other GMs

[LnGrrrR]

Way to draw the foul on Howard, Rondo... good effort by the Celtics all around.

[Bob Lanier]

That wasn't his body Davis sacrificed. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

That was lazy rebounding.

[LnGrrrR]

Last shot Boston... make it count.

Edit: Ah well, good shot, just didn't fall.

[NewJerSpur]

Another player throwing the ball up rather than looking at the play in front of them.

[D-Wade #3]

Boston is gonna destroy L.A

[j.dizzle]

what a stupid fuckin team lmao this would be a 10 pt game if Orl werent a bunch of mental midgets

[TampaDude]

Boston is gonna destroy L.A

Yup...Rondo is way better than he was in 2008...the Lakers are in deep shit.

[Venti Quattro]

Orlando is lucky to be down 17.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic are going to have to play smarter in the 3rd and will need to get it below 10 going into the 4th to have a shot. At least Nelson hit a couple of 3's to possibly get himself going.

[sefant77]

Yup...Rondo is way better than he was in 2008...the Lakers are in deep shit.

That time Radmanobitch and Walton "tried" do defend Pierce...

[peskypesky]

Yup...Rondo is way better than he was in 2008...the Lakers are in deep shit.

i don't think the Lakers are in deep shit at all. a team with that many excellent players, a coach like PJ, home-court advantage and Championship pedigree? i see a 7-game series.

[TampaDude]

i don't think the Lakers are in deep shit at all. a team with that many excellent players, a coach like PJ, home-court advantage and Championship pedigree? i see a 7-game series.

I see a repeat of 2008.

[NewJerSpur]

Orlando's going to have to at least send someone else to the rim for a rebound when Dwight puts up a shot. There are usually 3 Celtic jersey's there surrounding Howard with barely a trace of blue.

[Chieflion]

This is really scary, the Celtics defense, I mean. Against a team which curbstomped their past 2 playoff opponents, and looked to win a title, and just ran their train into the steel wall called the Celts defense.

[LnGrrrR]

i don't think the Lakers are in deep shit at all. a team with that many excellent players, a coach like PJ, home-court advantage and Championship pedigree? i see a 7-game series.

Agreed. Should be a good series.

Then again, I thought we'd lose to the Cavs, and beat the Magic in 6. I'm hoping these Celtics keep playing better than I expected.

[Giuseppe]

I see a repeat of 2008.

Woe be to you if it ain't, daddy-O.

[j.dizzle]

Orlando is lucky to be down 17.
:lmao Was gonna say the same thing...A couple three's & they'll be back into it..Orl needs to sign some veteran leadership if they ever wanna win a title..Nobody looks up to Dwight or Carter.

[TampaDude]

This is really scary, the Celtics defense, I mean. Against a team which curbstomped their past 2 playoff opponents, and looked to win a title, and just ran their train into the steel wall called the Celts defense.

Looking forward to the Boston-LA series...it's gonna be a war!

Celtics in 6.

[peskypesky]

Looking forward to the Boston-LA series...it's gonna be a war!

Celtics in 6.

Collusion has worked again. Stern is giggling.

[TampaDude]

Collusion has worked again. Stern is giggling.

[LnGrrrR]

As soon as they mentioned the no hitter, Dice-K gave up a hit.

Those bastards.

[NewJerSpur]

Be interesting to see if Van Gundy starts to empty the bench a bit more or tighten the rotation as the game goes on....there was an Anderson sighting in the 2nd, lol. Bass next?

[TampaDude]

As soon as they mentioned the no hitter, Dice-K gave up a hit.

Those bastards.

Heh...I was just thinking the same thing..."Way to jinx Dice-K, asshole!" :lol

[4>0rings]

Addicted to ecstasy? :lmao

[Venti Quattro]

Orlando snagged Bass away from Dallas and now SVG is not even using him. What a waste.

[lefty]

Addicted to ecstasy? :lmao
Um yes it's possible

[j.dizzle]

How come they dont play Bass? I think he actually has the balls to get to the rim unlike 95% of the magic team.

[Jace]

Magic calls Rondo the best all around PG, then says Deron may be the best PG but Rondo is the best all around PG bar none. Fisher has done well on Nash but I don't think he can compete with Rondo.. Kobe might have to take him which will leave Allen/Pierce open

[Venti Quattro]

Artest is on Pierce. Phil may put Fisher on Jesus.

[4>0rings]

Magic calls Rondo the best all around PG, then says Deron may be the best PG but Rondo is the best all around PG bar none. Fisher has done well on Nash but I don't think he can compete with Rondo.. Kobe might have to take him which will leave Allen/Pierce open
Did you just compare Fish to Rondo?:wow

[Jace]

No.. I was talking about how Magic called Rondo the best PG and then mentioned that despite Fisher's success against Nash I don't think he can do the same to Rondo.

[TampaDude]

3rd quarter will decide this game.

[NewJerSpur]

Bass at the very least could give them more effort on the offensive glass, and maybe another option below the FT line offensively.

[4>0rings]

Garnett just made ESPN getting kocked on his ass. :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

3rd quarter will decide this game.

Yup, and that hook shot was awful.

[j.dizzle]

LOL Ouch KG. ..Stop shooting Dwight, you suck balls bro hahaha

[4>0rings]

Perkins argues every damn call.

[LnGrrrR]

Wow... that was one hell of a shitty call on Perkins.

[NewJerSpur]

Maybe that gets Lewis going.

[Venti Quattro]

Somewhere in America, Shaq is laughing at SVG.

What a pathetic effort from SVG.

[4>0rings]

This game is like a train wreck. It's fucking horrible to watch but you just can't turn away from it.

[NewJerSpur]

Better rotation defensively by Orlando.

[TampaDude]

Wow... that was one hell of a shitty call on Perkins.

I agree...total bullshit.

[Jace]

Somewhere in America, Shaq is laughing at SVG.

What a pathetic effort from SVG.

Van Gundy can't turn Vince Carter and Dwight into players who care.. They are who they are....talented but lazy and apathetic

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass by Barnes.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao Pierce

[siraulo23]

the fuck

[TampaDude]

That's a flagrant!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Barnes screwed up with the shove at the end.

[Bob Lanier]

Oh, please. That's just a hard foul.

[lefty]

Crofl

[LnGrrrR]

Cheap play by Barnes.... bush league stuff

[siraulo23]

lol garnett hitting van gundy as well

[Jace]

Damn.. Goes to show just how much respect Pierce has for the Magic.. Celtics know the Magic have no heart

[4>0rings]

Marc Jackson clowning JVG biting ankles.

[Bob Lanier]

"the Notorious JVG" :rollin

[Jace]

Not a flagrant, these people are constantly whining about players being soft and then call that dirty?

[j.dizzle]

LOL Barnes, this guy turns into a butthurt faggot when he gets mad

[Venti Quattro]

I got away from the TV, can someone please tell me what happened?

[Bob Lanier]

Barnes's square head looks weirder than Garnett's giraffe neck

[TheProfessor]

If someone could make a gif of Garnett running into SVG from the side-view, it would be greatly appreciated, we're watching it over and over and it only gets funnier :lol

[IronMexican]

Lol at IronMexican not going to a party to watch this.

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight needs to do more of that.

[Bob Lanier]

Glen Davis wants to eat you.

[NewJerSpur]

Barnes's square head looks weirder than Garnett's giraffe neck

So who's your money on?

[ducks]

nelson is sooo overrated

Getting destroyed by Big Baby, lololololol

[TampaDude]

The ball movement by the Celtics is some of the best I've seen. This is truly a TEAM. They're gonna be very, very tough to beat.

[Venti Quattro]

http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/images/2007/03/21/glen_big_baby_davis.jpg

oink oink

oink oink

[LnGrrrR]

Not a flagrant, these people are constantly whining about players being soft and then call that dirty?

I don't think it should be a flagrant. But pushing someone out of bounds with a hard shove? It's cheap play.

It's one thing to foul hard when they're going up for a score; it's another thing to give someone a shove going for a ball near the sidelines.

Barnes wasn't even going for the ball... it's pretty obvious he just ran up to KG and shoved him.

[4>0rings]

[TampaDude]

Boston continuing the ownage.

[LnGrrrR]

The ball movement by the Celtics is some of the best I've seen. This is truly a TEAM. They're gonna be very, very tough to beat.

Their passing tonight has been some of their best that I've seen all-season and playoffs. Really patient, finding the open man. That's gotta be frustrating the Orlando Magic mentally.

[sefant77]

Huhu Dwight, its me!

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzumb0UqSE1qzel1vo1_500.jpg

[LnGrrrR]

lol... "AAIIIGHHGHH" - Orlando Magic player

The refs are allowing some hard play under the basket. Can't believe Ray-Ray missed that easy layup!

[mingus]

this is why teams that build around the 3-point shot don't win championships. it's got to be a big part of your offense, but it can't be all or close to all of it.

[Bob Lanier]

lol Gortat

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Davis just lost the ball on the way up.

[NewJerSpur]

Ball don't lie.

[LnGrrrR]

Questionable foul call on Gortat. He didn't leave his feet, and his hands were straight up. Sure, he was moving and inside the circle, but I don't like those calls.

Even though Rondo hasn't been shooting great tonight, his penetration is still opening things up for other C's.

[Venti Quattro]

[DJ Mbenga]

who do people hate more for flopping nowadays? rondo or cp3?

[Bob Lanier]

Well, it's almost time for Dwight Howard to come back in and pad up those stats.

[Scola]

This game is unwatchable, it was over a long time ago. I really thought the Magic would give a better effort, I guess not.

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:vsWK68dZRc-3uM:http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees-redsox-blog/broom_big.jpg

[LnGrrrR]

who do people hate more for flopping nowadays? rondo or cp3?

CP3's flops are much more comical/non-sensical. Rondo does flop, but at least they're somewhat grounded in the realm of physics. Some of CP3's flops only would occur if the Earth had 1/3 the gravity it does.

[TampaDude]

Can't believe Ray-Ray missed that easy layup!

Heh...it happens...not like it's gonna matter tonight... :lol

[j.dizzle]

Their passing tonight has been some of their best that I've seen all-season and playoffs. Really patient, finding the open man. That's gotta be frustrating the Orlando Magic mentally.
And we all know Orl is mentally fragile..They remind me of the Cavs. They only play well when they have a big lead. That game 2 choke was basically a kick to the balls.

[NewJerSpur]

Well, the Magic are going to be paying for pride in Game 4, but that won't help them with their execution, or lack there of. Poor ball movement and bad passing is going to plays right into the hands of this aggressive Celtics defense.

[Giuseppe]

Questionable foul call on Gortat. He didn't leave his feet, and his hands were straight up. Sure, he was moving and inside the circle, but I don't like those calls.

Even though Rondo hasn't been shooting great tonight, his penetration is still opening things up for other C's.

Ln still skulkin' around like he can't quite believe what's he's seeing. Yes, Ln, you can be happy, ya f'in mook, you.

[Bob Lanier]

This game is unwatchable
:wtf This is a beautiful exhibition of defense and passing. It's not competitive, but this is excellent, excellent basketball.

[LnGrrrR]

Ln still skulkin' around like he can't quite believe what's he's seeing. Yes, Ln, you can be happy, ya f'in mook, you.

Can't be happy until our hands are on the LOB trophy, you know that Cully. Being happy for a series win will work for some fans, but it doesn't count for our teams.

[NewJerSpur]

Questionable foul call on Gortat. He didn't leave his feet, and his hands were straight up. Sure, he was moving and inside the circle, but I don't like those calls.

Even though Rondo hasn't been shooting great tonight, his penetration is still opening things up for other C's.

He's also hit some pretty big jump shots throughout their playoff run....something Dwight can learn from this offseason.

[j.dizzle]

Mark jackson ripping on Cle & Orl hahaa

[NewJerSpur]

At least someone from Orlando is still hustling, lol. JJ shoudld take home the majority of the playoff earnings from this series.

[BUMP]

CP3's flops are much more comical/non-sensical. Rondo does flop, but at least they're somewhat grounded in the realm of physics. Some of CP3's flops only would occur if the Earth had 1/3 the gravity it does.

+1

CP3's flops are ridiculous

[sefant77]

this is why teams that build around the 3-point shot don't win championships. it's got to be a big part of your offense, but it can't be all or close to all of it.

Its when your young franchiseplayer things he is allready good enough and stop working on his game

[Cane]

Lewis = Matt Bonner?

[TampaDude]

Ray Ray with the dagger 3!!!

[LnGrrrR]

Rayray, you just made up for that missed layup.

[sefant77]

CP3's flops are much more comical/non-sensical. Rondo does flop, but at least they're somewhat grounded in the realm of physics. Some of CP3's flops only would occur if the Earth had 1/3 the gravity it does.

Rondo is physical, Paul is just a cheap bitch.

[NewJerSpur]

Lewis = Matt Bonner?

He's going to have some questions to answer after this series.

[IronMexican]

Well, it's almost time for Dwight Howard to come back in and pad up those stats.

Why do you hate the Hawks?

[Killakobe81]

Que up the BEAT L.A> chants in the 4th ...

Why do you hate the Hawks?

[BUMP]

Comes with a 3-0 series lead

Yeah I know, this game for whatever reason feels like the final elimination game.

[TampaDude]

Sheeeeed!!!

[Venti Quattro]

Yeah I know, this game for whatever reason feels like the final elimination game.

Because Orlando is making it look like one. They have totally given up.

[NewJerSpur]

That was ugly.

[Bob Lanier]

lol Pietrus

[Bob Lanier]

Sh3333333333333333333333d

[Venti Quattro]

PEAAAACHESSS!!! :lmao

[Venti Quattro]

Orlando isn't going to reach 70 points.

[TampaDude]

Sheeeeed for threeeee again!!! 32-point game!!! This one is OVAH!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Because Orlando is making it look like one. They have totally given up.

I think it started to unravel when they took the lead in the 4th quarter of the last game after Perkins fouled out and Boston regained it for the remainder of the game....that was the time for Orlando to seize whatever momentum they could in the series and they couldn't get any stops. Then the missed FT's....

[TampaDude]

Orlando isn't going to reach 70 points.

Yup...as soon as the Celtics got to 70 points, I knew they had it won. :toast

[Bob Lanier]

This is so fun to watch I'm actually forgetting how much I hate the Celtics.

[NewJerSpur]

Now Dwight decides to start kicking it out after posting.

[LnGrrrR]

It feels like I'm watching us play a college team.

[NewJerSpur]

If Howard doesn't come back next season with some sort of jumper, the whole entire coaching staff needs to get axed.

[Ashy Larry]

they paid dwight howard to shoot in the post ..... no need to double and the shooters and shooting jumpers with contested hands in their faces .....

[TampaDude]

It feels like I'm watching us play a college team.

Heh...feels like watching the 2007 Gators play some scrub 16th seed in the first round. :lol

[Ashy Larry]

if doc rivers leaves,give the gig to tom thibadeau

[sefant77]

59 FGA....28 from downtown hitting 25%

epic

[Bob Lanier]

Looks like Dwight's attempt at stat-padding has come to an end.

[Venti Quattro]

Patrick Ewing, a center with a great midrange game, is Dwight's mentor.

Certainly Dwight hasn't learned so much from his teacher. The Lakers have shown what's wrong with him from last year's final and still he hasn't addressed it.

[NewJerSpur]

they paid dwight howard to shoot in the post ..... no need to double and the shooters and shooting jumpers with contested hands in their faces .....

The hook shot just ain't getting it though. He needs to be able to face up without having to get to a certain spot for a predictable, mechanical one-hander imo.

[j.dizzle]

Can anybody find out how many points 18 million dollar a year Rashard is averaging? lmao..probably like 3, what a humiliating series for Orl. Nobody on boston even had a huge game, Orl just shrunk when they went down by double digits.

:lmao Dwight Howard

[NewJerSpur]

Can anybody find out how many points 18 million dollar a year Rashard is averaging? lmao..probably like 3, what a humiliating series for Orl. Nobody on boston even had a huge game, Orl just shrunk when they went down by double digits.

I thought it was around 5 points or so coming into this game.

[Bob Lanier]

Howard wants this to end so he can go back to his hotel room and play video games.

[Killakobe81]

It feels like I'm watching us play a college team.

You are besides the Suns who else plays so much behind the 3 pt line?

THAT is a college offense ... only team that has won THAT way was Rockets .

But Hakeem gave them inside offense Howard does not on a conistent basis.

Hakeem>>>>>>Dwight on offense

Hakeem>>Dwight on defense

Dwight>>Hakeem at dunking

[LnGrrrR]

At least the bench is getting some playing time, and Rondo will get some rest this game.

Lakers fans reppin' their city early

lol epic fail on that alley-oop

[sefant77]

He actually has scripts to read for his NEXT movie ...

Howard has Shaqitis ...shitty FT's ...too much on off the court ...

[TampaDude]

Scrubs in...just being scrubs...garbage time...

[Venti Quattro]

but i read that lewis has a cold or something like that...so maybe he isnt full healthy

as far as i'm concerned, colds can't do shit to damage a player's game, especially of a professional athlete's. maybe if it's with a flu

[gaKNOW!blee]

lol what an awkward moment that was...JVG takes a shit on vince carter and the other two are just silent going into the break

$118M for Rashard Lewis, who is averaging 5ppg on 25% shooting and grabbing 5rpg from the PF position.

That's gotta be one of the worst signings in NBA history.

What were they thinking? I think everyone in Seattle knew this punk wasn't worth max money.

[NewJerSpur]

Jameer started to take and make more of the stepback 3's coming off of screens this game, but still needs to stop looking for the instant pass off the screen and look to probe the lane.

Magic have to look to get off more midrange runners coming off of screens and stop looking to kick it out for longer jumpers.

[NewJerSpur]

Alright Bass, show me something.

[j.dizzle]

Howard with a HUGE game..7 pts & 8 rebounds hahahaha...DJ Mbenga would have a bigger game sons..LOL at best center in the league talk..Pau Gasol has more offensive skill in his pinky

[Killakobe81]

I hope Harlemheat heard that ...and I agree ...EXCEPT for Wade (lebron obviously) and Pierce all the so called = or > than Kobe guys have fallen short.

Dont get me wrong Kobe appeared to quit in Game 7 vs. Suns (though there is proof he did not but whatever I agree he did ...I wanted more)

VC I was a big fan of ... I watched him at UNC and his star shone bright early ...

JVG just used the Deniro Bronx tale line on VC ..."the saddest thing in life is wasted talent" ... LMAO

[Bob Lanier]

Was I too hard on Vince Carter, comparing him to Kobe's will? Maybe I was, not that I really care.
:lmao

He actually does, that's the sad part.

[TampaDude]

Celtics win, 94-71...get the brooms ready!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Well, I'll still be driving the bandwagon 'til the wheels fall off and we wind up in a ditch. Got to go with the team I backed coming into the series.

[Ashy Larry]

the only good thing I saw from that game was the chick in the white dress with the big rack standing behind the Magic's bench

Funny ...

No team built around Dwight Howard will win a title.

Spurs fans can understand this with Big Dave -- he was Dwight (but with a lot more off-court character).

If your center is your anchor, and he has no go-to (back-to-the-basket) bread and butter offensive game--- you're cooked.

Unbiased and honest appraisal but to be fair at least David had a jumper and could hit FT's

David on offense was Ewing ...Howard on defense ....

[Bob Lanier]

Spurs fans have been saying this for years and I can only wonder if they actually remember David Robinson. The closest modern approximation to him on offense is in my opinion Chris Bosh, but in any event comparing his skillset to Howard's is an enormous insult to The Admiral.

Maybe it's because they're both goody-two-shoes bible-bashers with an uncompetitive nature or something, but Robinson had at least four more low post moves than Howard's ever shown, in addition to his face-up game.

Amen. Dont get me wrong David had flaws offensively but he is MUCH better at it (low post) than Dwight.
