Reminds me of the Chicago dynasty, when MJ was passing to Wennington and Longley... it was odd to see them lay it up off the board instead of dunking. :shakehead:

Bill and Luc were big softies that just couldn't get off the ground.

"White man can't jump" .... ne? :beaten:

Pistons eliminate the Magic.

Nuts. :grumble:

I'm worried about Kobe's condition going into Game 5, but he's a gamer already playing with that injured pinky, so I guess I shouldn't worry too much.

Pistons back in the conference finals, where they'll get dominated by Lebron again :beaten:

Speaking of Lebron, lets just hope his mom washed his mouth out with some soap. I understand he's bringing in the money, and it was in the heat of the moment after Pierce had wrapped him up, but still, that's his mother.

LOL, she shoulda known better being a parent....

Props to LeBron for going up to Pierce and giving him an "It's cool" thump on the chest... I thought that was really classy. :victory:

Yeah, it was a nice gesture on Lebron's part, especially after the abuse he took in the first round. Pierce clearly wasn't trying to hurt him, just didn't want to give up the easy two.

and I thought the Magic would put up more of a fight with their so called "Superman" :sweat: :sweat:

Spurs on the brink, losing again in New Orleans, 101-79.

West went postal, and the Spurs scored 11 points in the 3rd. I'm stoked. :metaldevil:

That seems to be the Spurs M.O. lately: come out weak in the third quarter.

That won't get it done. :sweat:

The 2nd Round has been a bit odd this year. Outside of the Pistons series, every other series only the home team has won ..... and most of them have been blowouts! :headscratch:


The trend seems like it'll continue .... meaning 3 possible Game 7's !!! :fingerscrossed:

David Stern and ABC/ESPN must be peeing in their pants with excitement. :beaten:

Spurs don't go down without a fight, winning 99-80 and forcing a game seven in New Orleans. :sweat:

Lakers almost blow a 19-point lead, but they eliminate the Jazz, 108-105. :sweat:

Cavs force a game seven: Celtics lose on he road again, 74-69.

Is game 7 in Boston???

Yup. The question is will Lebron be able to carry the Cavs on his back for one game or will the Celtics dodge the bullet again with the notorious Boston "home cooking" during 7th games at home.

What "home cooking" you referring to? Some fishy new england clam chowder soup for Lebron perhaps? :bleh:

If you mean some conspiracy theory ... not buying it. I only believe in bad refereeing and Cavs/Celtics stinking on the road. :shakehead:

Boston can win it all if they just win all of their home games... :bleh:

Let's hope the Cavs can break that streak. :fingerscrossed:

The Celtics have a history of strange things happening in 7th games, going back to the 60's. There was a series against the 76ers, they had the game won, all they had to do was inbound the ball, it hit a wire used to hold up the backboard, Havlicek stole the ball and the Celtics won. Then there was the time in the 80's when Detroit was just starting to get good, Kevin McHale hit a last second 3-pointer to win, only everybody (except the refs) could see his foot was clearly over the line and it should have been a 2 pt. basket. Stuff like that seems to happen only in Boston. [/list:u]

Cleveland can't make a shot in the closing minutes of the game, so Boston wins at home again, 97-92...

LeBron scores 45, but no one else helps out (shades of the Lakers in years past).... :shakehead:
