This will be one of the few time I'll root for the C's. :mrgreen:

Me too, networks would probably want a Kobe vs. James finals but if it's the Celts then they'll play up that rivalry to the nth degree. :beatyou: Curious to see what happens when James becomes a free agent this summer, NY post has a countdown every day on how many days until the Knicks sign him, wishful thinking on their part, :usuck: Stern came out saying he really wants him to stay with the Cavs.

Stern is a chump, plain and simple.

:hehe: Straight and to the point. Very stern. No pun intended.

That he is, been there too long, change is probably needed. :beaten:

He was there during the Magic-Bird-Jordan days and is trying to relive it.

Celtics eliminate the Cavs from the playoffs. 94-85. :woot:

Now you can watch the rest of the playoffs from home, Shaq. :P :P :P

Why, you sound happy about that. :hehe: True team effort from the Celts, James had his triple-double but also had 9 TOs and shot 38%. Gonna be hard for the Celts against Orlando, don't think it'll be another sweep for the Magic but they are on a roll.

PS- Think Shaq will throw something at his 100 inch TV if Kobe lifts that trophy again? :mrgreen:

You have no idea.

If Jabba the Shaq wasn't on the Cavs, I'd have rooted for them, their loss. :mrgreen:

Nah, he'd probably choke on one of the dozens BK doubles he's downing during the game. :hehe:

And those dozens were before halftime. :doh: Sat on the bench for so long, wonder what his dessert(s) was. :bleh:

Nestle's Crunch bars, of course.

:doh: With all the Crunch bars and BK doubles he consumed, what did he wash them down with or would that interfere with the food consumption? Knicks looking to sign at least one big name, he sure would be a big one to sign. :hehe:

Nah, he's looking for a team to ride their coattails for another ring.

Maybe he can bury the hatchet and rejoin the Magic on Sunday as Howard's stand-in. :rofl:

Jeeesh, wouldn't think they would go that route but you never know, had Oklahoma had a decent big man they may have over taken the Lakers. :shakehead: Know the NY papers are drooling over the fact the Cavs lost, they'll all be writing how it's certain the Knicks will get him, man I hope not, anybody but them. :usuck:

Add-on...few not so nice comments from the Cavs faithful after their loss.

Not surprising: Laker fans were like that during their post-Shaq/pre-Gasol era.

They were probably the same morons lighting fires and flipping over cars when the Lakers won their championships. :shakehead:

Wassup with all the Shaq hating?

I posed the same question here in April. I'll save you the trouble of having to dig up page 270 of this thread for the answers:

gaijinmark wrote:Don't like Shaq because he's such a jerk. After he left the Lakers he trashed not just Kobe, but Phil Jackson, Mitch Kupchak, the owner Dr. Buss. He put out that rap video about Kobe which was pretty childish. He needs to grow up, which, if it hasn't happened by now, probably never will.

+1.

The guy is self-involved and self-serving... He has no dedication to the game, just himself... Which is why is whoring himself at Cleveland, since he thinks it's the best place to nab another ring without having to make any effort.

@ Takoyama - Answer your question? :mrgreen:

^ Not to worry: he's out of the playoffs and out of the discussion. :victory:

The national media is too busy talking about the King without the crown. But they should be talking about the Celts' defense, they really stepped up their game. Tony Allen did a great job on James. :victory:
What will Charles Barkley say now. :shakehead:

The thing that bugs me is that he has always gotten away with traveling. :shakehead:
