Celtics vs Cavs, Game 2

[bostonguy]

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

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.

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.

[Killakobe81]

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.

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 ....

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.

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 ...

LeBron is not fine.

He is

Brwon will be lucky to coach a high school team next season



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

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.
