thuggins for life

Consistency is key but these playoffs have been too much for me.

Who ever wins game 7 will go on !!!

1. Lakers are playing like the Cletics of last year in the playoffs. Showing them whos boss one night and then crying to their mommas the next! Houston is running on fumes but with a great coach and decent players that gel if they play great any team could win like that. Lakers got the great coach, the players but no gel. Just mouse or hairspary

2. Nuggets got a great coach,a leader, decent players and a good bench and being consistent so unless a complet meltdown they should be some good competition coming for the next team.

3. Cavs..next

4. Orlando and Celtics make me sick. Orlando did not keep it close like I said this past game so that is the ticket. Up by at least 5+ with 30 secs to go. If not then Celtics will have a 99% shot at winning. Dwight got the ball so that helped. Right now Dwight is like Nate on the Knicks. Hes got all-star weekend talent but does he have playoff or maybe championship talent yet. Will see if he does it again sunday@ boston.

I'm looking forward to watching Cavs v. Celts in the Eastern Conference Finals


I mean, Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing (who went 0-9723409720487028937 as a player with his predictins) of all people is predicting it

Orlando did not keep it close so that was the main factor. Reason is their 4th quarter explosion and Turkolu with the dagger 3 and 2 after that around the 4 minute mark. Orlando def has a great overall front line and ehh bench so the only way they typical lose is by giving up massive leads meaning they typical have the lead.

Barkley said Orlando over Cavs but IMO Lebron is on a mission. He took down a stong Piston team before(remember that 4th qaurter a while back he had like 29 something !!!!) and I know this Orlando team is not as good as the Pistons of a couple years ago. I hope its a good series but if orlando stays in their and controls lebron which most cannot then they might have a shot. If not then James and mo and company will be going 4-0 on thier asses.

Lakers woke up again. I think if houston gave them a run for thier money then the nuggets are going give them pain if they play right. Karl Vs Phil.

I'm honestly stunned, but the aura of Starbury is even too powerful for the power of Ewing's prediction.

Step it up LAkers!!!!!!!!!!!

hope its 2-0 after tonight

trevor ariza is their secret weapon with 3s and nice drives.

who is guarding keyon. He is like dwight of the west but could of been that good if he did not hurt his leg his senior year during the tournament

The Nuggets finally closed out the fourth quarter. I enjoy the scoring back and forth by Kobe and Melo. Ariza keeps making good defensive plays in the fourth quarter.


BTW Melo didn't look so good at the end of the forth quarter. HOpefully he'll be alright, otherwise series goes down the drain.

I loved when Melo touches kobe face with his tight man to man and then gets tryed on (twice)!! The refs f'd up that last jump ball with the guy going across the lane which is a voilation but with a lead that close the lakers did not do a good job during the 4th to extend their small ass lead. Kobe can't get any more tech or he will be suspended also. 7 and I think he has 5 or 6

Right now there is no more easy for any team. Cavs had it until they played Orlando which they lost to during the season a couple of times. Reminds me of Dallas Vs Goldenstate. Playoff time came but golden state won every game during the season and then took it from them in the playoffs.

ahhhh nooooooo magic got the 2 point lead with 1 second left

no fucking way, i cant believe the cavs might lose (again)...1 second left...4th quarter....cav ball...

i dont see them pulling up a miracle


this sucks

HOLY SHIT!!!!
what a shot!!!!


he made me eat my words!!!


MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP!!!

AHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET VICTORY!!!!!
LEBRON = MVP

what a game

It is def lebron vs orlando. This shot could replace the MJ shot against cleavland back in the day. Pretty similar without the kick in the guys head after

Cavs are still hanging on by needles even though they have leads. Its typical for 1st half playing great and then trading off the 2nd but before this series Cavs were stong both. Now its one or the other agains this Orlando team. If Orlando hits 3s they will take the next game because I just feel when a team plays at home more can go wrong than right because their expected to win.

PS. That last 3 made up for his travel mistake Could not hide those 4 steps that time with the hop.

cleveland is so fucking over rated it's hilarious

So true.

LeBron practically outscored the rest of his team last night just to keep it close. Cleveland is a team of muppets and a guy who can't stand being out of the spotlight. No way he does like Chris Paul or Kobe and let his teammates shine from time to time. He whines whenever a call doesn't go his way, demands the ball on every play, and wants his face to represent basketball to the masses.

LeBron scores 42 and loses and the media says his teammates haven't done enough. Kobe scores 42 and loses and the media says Kobe is too selfish. ESPN is so far up LeBron's ass that it has ruined watching the NBA for me. Go Dwight Howard.

dwight howard is a tank.

Lakers are going to beat the Nuggets. Right now they are playing lazy but when they play good they beat you by 40 just like the Rockets. Too much cockyness by the nuggets this last game and there going to pay for it the next.

Orlando is in charge but the Cavs need to play like they did during the season. Right now they are still hanging on due to lebron.

tommorrow=redemption

bummer...cavs down 3-1 in series
