NBA Playoffs

[GreekGodX]

Lakers won a crazy game last night. Kobe goes off for 40 and a whole bunch of people are ejected..

And Eddie House was huge for Boston as they beat the Magic. Celtics are looking much better against Orlando. I still cannot believe how good Rondo is playing. Another Triple-Double in the playoffs. He is going to be a great player for them for years to come.

Artest looked like he wanted to choke Kobe there at the end.

Yeah he did...I think there is going to be a few fines handed out this week and possibly another suspension or two...

And all before game 3 I bet!

On a side note, Boston still doesn't look too great. Rondo and House kept them in the game o/w they would have been down 2-0.

Go Nuggets!!

[GreekGodX]

Lebron is from another planet.

Looks like it ain't gonna happen for the Mavs...

That was a horrible no call at the end of the 4th quarter, though.

Yeah... but I always say if you have to leave it to the refs to win a game, then that was the first mistake. The nuggets LOVE to leave games in the refs hands in the many many years I have been a nuggets fan... There are always a ton of bad calls in the NBA... dunno if its the nature of being a ref in the league or what...

It does suck to get a win that way though...

[GreekGodX]

It does suck having a game end in that fashion. But I look at Dirk missing that fade away before that play, he makes that shot and the foul makes no difference. Antoine Wright should have fouled Carmelo way before he was at the 3 point line too. I just don't think that missed call really impacted the game that much. Considering also Dallas had a chance at the end of the game to win. The NBA admitted they made a mistake and it happens. We will definitely see this series go to at least a game 5.

Mavs dont stand a chance regardless... the bad call was called "human error"... deal

Can you saw SWEEP? Get the brooms out. The only question now, is do the Nuggets have enough to stop the Lakers?

God let's hope so... I seriously hate the Lakers and they have MORE than enough banners hanging from the rafters... time to let someone else have some. I mean hell I would be happy just playing in the NBA finals (something the nuggets have never done). And only the Clippers have gone longer in the NBA without making it to the finals... not the kind of company I wanna keep so its time to break that drought.

I was hoping to play Houston over the Lakers, but without Yao that isn't gonna happen... so bring on the Lakers and let's get this dance going. The nuggets have always had mismatch problems with the lakers, but with the way they are playing right now, it may not matter. The lakers just don't seem to have enough fight... so the question is can the Nuggets outscore the Lakers for 4 games? I'm a believer...(but I'm also a Delusional nuggets fan...)

No Yao and Rockets still kicked butt tonight...

[GreekGodX]

I love the small feud that is going on between Kenyon Martin and Mark Cuban right now.. Apparently Kenyon Martin's mother yelled out something to the tune of the Nuggets are "thugs". Cuban responded by saying "that includes your son". Well of course Martin's mother claims Cuban said something else and the saga continues. Now Martin vows to settle the feud with Cuban face-to-face. Very classy.

Haha gotta love how the refs can't even call an intentional foul but are overly eager to call a flagrant every 5 minutes. Let 'em play basketball!

[white_s2k]

It's hard to win a game playing 8 on 5, but the Mavs pulled it out. That was one of the worst officiated NBA games I have ever seen.

That was a pretty damn ugly game... while I agree with one of the flagrant fouls, the other were definitely suspect... nice job for the Mavs pulling the game out though. You could tell they definitely wanted that win. Now back to Denver!

I'm cheering for the nuggets big time because I'm a huge Chauncey Billups fan, but Carmelo has got to get his head examined taking a shot at Wright like he did last night. When I saw the replay, I thought there was a good chance he would get suspended for the next game because he took an obvious shot at his head. I haven't heard anyone make a big deal out of it so maybe it will slip under the league's radar, but you are 1 win from the conference finals! Don't be an idiot!

[GreekGodX]

Another sweep for Lebron. I'm eager to see what the Western Conference can do to him in the Finals..

[white_s2k]

Orlando had a complete meltdown in the 4th. God I hate Boston!

[GreekGodX]

And Dwight Howard is complaining publicly about their coach. He is supposed to be their superstar. He needs to shut up, demand the ball in the 4th and do work. Plain and simple.

That would be the smart thing... I can already see the water filling the boat in Orlando... can you say sinking ship?

The only question that remains is will it be game 6 or 7 that does Orlando in? Cuz I just don't think they can keep it together for 2 more games and even if they do, Lebron will own them...
