Wow...big break for the Mavs with Baron Davis hurt.

Halx · 05-03-2007, 07:39 PM

Davis isn't giving up. He's gonna keep shooting until he's dead.

powerclown · 05-03-2007, 08:04 PM

LOL...it looks that way. Warriors leading at the half. Incredible.
Do we still go with Dirk for MVP after this series?

Halx · 05-03-2007, 08:26 PM

The warriors are just throwing the mavs into shell shock.

powerclown · 05-03-2007, 08:47 PM

Not out of the woods yet. Dallas can come back from this.

Entire city of Dallas, Texas said to be on suicide watch for the next 48 hours.
I can't believe what just happened.

pmb145 · 05-06-2007, 04:26 PM

Even though I'm a Piston's fan, I hope we dont' get another Pistons/Spurs finals. I think the Sun or Warriors /Pistons would be more fun to watch.

Kadath · 05-08-2007, 06:40 PM

Man, New Jersey has no heart. The Cavs shot like garbage and still won.

I'm a Cavs fan, and even so I'm pretty tired of the announcers fellating Lebron.

powerclown · 05-10-2007, 09:15 AM

Do or die for Chicago tonight. I'll be shocked if they lose by 20 again...Im already shocked they've played so meekly thus far. The Pistons melted down this exact time last year, although now they don't have the injuries or internal bitching they had then. Not sure what NJs problem is...with their talent and experience, they should be giving the Cavs more of a fight. Great game in Utah last night...that series has been a dogfight thanks to the Warriors. As good as the Suns are, no way are they getting past San Antonio.

Craven Morehead · 05-10-2007, 09:19 PM

What a terrible second half for the Bulls. After an incredible first half. The Bulls are done. No way to get back in this. Pistons have their number now. Going to be a long and ugly off season for the Bulls.

And the pisser is, I've got tickets to Game 6 in Chicago. Or not.

powerclown · 05-12-2007, 08:37 PM

Too bad about the tickets...but who saw this coming from the Bulls? So now they must be completely shot after being up 20 in the 3rd. Ok, Detroit has played great defense throughout, but Chicago has played so poorly I feel bad for them. I was expecting this series to be total war - a culmination of 3 years of bad blood, plus the Ben Wallace trade - but nobody on the Bulls has yet scored over 20 points in 3 games.

6'2" Baron Davis hammering 6'9" Andrei Kirilenko into the floor like a box nail:

Kadath · 05-16-2007, 04:29 AM

Congrats on getting to use your tickets, Craven. I hope the Bulls take it all the way. The "no team has gone down 0-3 and come back" record has to fall sometime; it did in baseball.

Good game, Chicago Bulls. You have a very, very bright future. We won't be able to hang with you for many more years with our current lineup. Keep and develop Tyrus Thomas...don't let him get away like you did Elton Brand, Ron Artest and Tyson Chandler. The Suns got jacked in the arse on Wed, too. Horrible, horrible call, David Stern.

Craven Morehead · 05-18-2007, 05:45 AM

Not feeling too badly this morning. The best team won. The Bulls played one good quarter, that's all. They are one really good player away from being 'there' where ever that is. At times in the 2nd quarter they looked so good, I love their passing game. And they play defense with a lot of energy but they couldn't sustain that for a full game. It was fun at the UC last night. Tons of atmosphere. It was a fun night, that could have ended better but didn't.

powerclown · 05-18-2007, 10:14 AM

Looked like a good time. The crowd seemed totally nuts for a while there.

Kadath · 05-21-2007, 05:50 AM

So let's all wait for about a week until the inevitable Spurs/Pistons final. Depressing. I hope the Cavs can take two.

powerclown · 05-21-2007, 08:09 AM

No offense but off the top off my head I can't think of a more boring team to watch than the Cavs. They were unwatchable in the Nets series (so were the Nets)...they scored 8 freaking points in an entire quarter last game. They have that funny looking brazilian clown with the jerry curls, Z always looks like he's on a heroin bender, and Drew Gooden has a tribble growing out the back of his neck. And is there a whiter crowd in the NBA? Is every game in Cleveland Amish appreciation night? Cleveland has 2 watchable players: LeBron and Larry Hughes. Most of the time they're bricking jump shots. Detroit actually plays somewhat creatively in the half-court. I pray it doesn't go any further than 4, if only to avoid injury.

Kadath · 05-21-2007, 10:23 AM

So (if I might sum up) you don't like the way the Cavs players look? Are you watching the game for the game or looking for a potential boyfriend? No offense, of course.

powerclown · 05-21-2007, 11:18 AM

You make sure to catch our annual Gay & Lesbian Motor City Pride Day now.
Dress in your sunday best!

Ok, Cleveland played pretty good defense...they probably should have won the game on that 3. We got lucky.
Oh and apart from being the most boring team in the NBA, Cleveland may also be the ugliest. Donyell is so ugly that when he entered an ugly contest, the jugde said no professionals please. HeHe!

Kadath · 05-23-2007, 06:18 AM

powerclown, I was being a jerk. I apologize. Let's ditch this whole "You're gay" "No, you are!" thing, hey?

I feel like all the complaints that the Cavs are boring to watch has to do with the fact that they are tenacious on defense and deliberate on offense. They don't just huck the ball down the court and go for the jam, they take their time and pick their shots. That bad news about that strategy is it means they can lose on a bad three like they did Monday. I feel like LeBron's low scoring is not really encouraging or discouraging; at the end of the day it's all about who got the W. But I think the Cavs lost the game for one reason: garbage free throw shooting.

Kadath · 05-25-2007, 04:57 AM

Ugh, depressed. The Cavs are taking garbage shots and missing them. I know LeBron got fouled at the end, but they shouldn't have let it come to that.

powerclown · 05-25-2007, 07:52 AM

No problem Kadath...sorry.

The Cavs haven't been anymore boring to watch this series than the Pistons. Its back to the old trench warfare style of play, nothing flowing, nobody in rhythm, poor shooting, constant whistles. I just think its the matchup...this is how these 2 teams play eachother.

I agree whole heartedly. Taking a 12 point lead into halftime, going in getting your cookies and milk and taking a nap on your own mat, some may have colored and when they went out to the court, for the start of the second half, they seemed they were worried more someone may have seen they colored outside the linesthan winning the game...

You're up by 12 points and you come out and your first 7 possessions are 5 long shots that turn to bricks and lost possessions and 2 outright turnovers.... and you WANT to win??????? This team destroyed themselves, the Pistons didn't beat the Cavs, the refs didn't beat the Cavs.... THE CAVS BEAT THE CAVS with stupid play and no killer instinct.

The Cavs are a good defensive team and deserve where they are (Eastern Conference Finals), but they are a stupid team that will not be able to reach the next plateau unless they learn how to maintain the lead and develop a killer instinct, not just one where they are trying to hold a lead but one where they want to crush the opponent and not even give a chance for them to come back from a 12 point deficit.

All the Cavs needed was to win 1 in Detroit.... that's it just 1 and take it to Cleveland and rack up a 3-1 lead..... now they are deficit playing and Detroit IS a championship team and WILL go for the kill.

pan6467 · 05-29-2007, 09:05 PM

hmmmmmm Them Detroit people are mighty quiet.........

Kadath · 05-30-2007, 03:57 AM

You really going to brag, pan? This is a very close matchup. It's who gets the lucky breaks that wins this series. We could be singing a different song in a few days.

In my opinion Chauncey Billups should be feeling pretty low right about now. He had some big mistakes in the last few minutes. That's what made the difference here.

powerclown · 05-30-2007, 05:04 PM

I'm sick and tired of how Detroit is playing right now.
Lazy fuckers just refuse to play the game for 4 quarters. And Chris Webber is doing exactly nothing this entire ECFs.
I seriously hope Detroit loses in 6...I'm sick of watching them play 46.5 minutes of garbage every night.
Props to LeBron James. The sickest thing is that this is a 22 year old kid.
The last Utah/SA game was awesome. Very, very entertaining game.

It's possible, but the Cavs showed something the last 2 games that I bitched about them not having the first 2 games...... the killer instinct... go in for the kill, play to win..... if you go in with a 12 point lead at halftime, play to protect that lead.... Detroit scores 2 you put the 2 back on the board and kill time as you do it. Detroit sinks a 3 pointer, you go in and fight to sink one or make get the 3 point foul.

You don't sit there and throw 5 bricks and allow 2 steals and in 7 uncontested possession losses give up those unanswered points and expect to win.

The Cavs are showing the first 2 games they fucked up and miscalculated.... now they have a chance to correct things.

Even if they lose the series.... the last 2 games showed they can have what it takes, they just need to have it with a consistancy and the ego of "you have to beat us, we won't beat ourselves anymore."

ONETIME · 05-31-2007, 12:48 PM

man o man i hope the cavs win. I'm already disappointed at the western outcome.

lets go cavs

Kadath · 05-31-2007, 07:38 PM

I want to go to sleep! What is this double OT horseshit?!

Edit: And now I can, and sleep easy. That is rising up and carrying the team on your shoulders. LeBron has the chops.

pan6467 · 06-02-2007, 09:16 PM

WHOOP THERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALS BABY

Kadath · 06-03-2007, 04:19 AM

So what do you think, are people going to change their tune and say the Cavs aren't serious underdogs in this series?

The Cavs will have to play aggressive and like they did in Games 4 and 5 EVERY game to win the series. It can be done but they'll need to focus and not rely on just LeBron.

powerclown · 06-03-2007, 04:31 PM

The problem is that the Spurs have more depth and talent at every position and I don't think they're going to let Boobie bomb 3s all night like the Pistons did. Ginobili is playing out of his gourd right now, and the Spurs as a team - unlike the Pistons - are extremely motivated. Let's face it: the Cavs aren't even as good as the Jazz, so LeBron is going to need multiple 50-60 point games for the Cavs to last even 5 games. Hide the women and children - its gonna be a bloodbath!

Seriously though, props to Cleveland for getting it done, and for an absolutely amazing and unforgettable game 5 performance from the King. Get that man some help STAT!

ARauckhorst · 06-05-2007, 07:34 PM

I think the cavs have a chance. The Piston's zone forced the outside shot; a man-to-man will allow Lebron to really shine.

just my two cents.

Kadath · 06-07-2007, 05:11 AM

An apropos article from The Onion:
http://www.theonion.com/content/news..._for_cavaliers

Article click to show

SAN ANTONIO—San Antonio Spurs All-Star center Tim Duncan told reporters yesterday that he is rooting for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win this year's NBA Finals, stating that a Cavaliers victory is "exactly what the NBA needs right now."
"They're an exciting team, a breath of fresh air, and with the way this year's playoffs have gone, something interesting definitely needs to happen," said Duncan, adding that with the Cavaliers in the Finals people will "finally have a reason to watch [the NBA]." "Since the Western Conference immediately became dull when the Phoenix Suns were eliminated, the league has been gasping for a team that transcends basketball and appeals to the casual fan."

"Quite frankly, if the Cavs win, I really don't know who loses," Duncan added.

According to Duncan, one of the main reasons he wants the Cavaliers to win the championship is so that Cleveland small forward LeBron James has a chance to flourish in the national spotlight.

"LeBron has a certain magnetism a lot of other players don't have," Duncan said. "Not only is he the best player on his team, but he is also charismatic, which is rare. He's the only player I can think of that the league can market on a global scale, but the only way the NBA can do that is if Cleveland wins the title. Fingers crossed that they do."

Though Duncan said it would be optimal for James to hit a game-winning jumper in the closing seconds of Game 7 to win the championship, he stated it would be equally beneficial for the league if James simply dominates from the outset of Game 1, is given the opportunity to show off his tremendous athletic ability, and sends his opponents home early.

"No matter what, an NBA Finals that ends in a Cavaliers victory will be fun to watch," Duncan said. "Much more fun than a bunch of guys with no real personality playing good, fundamental basketball, which is basically the type of thing you can expect from mind-numbing teams like the Pistons and the Jazz."

"Most important," Duncan said, "the league needs a team that inspires kids to get out on the court, run up and down and take the ball to the basket—not a team that dumps it into their big man and lets him do all the work. That's why I didn't root for the Miami Heat last year."

"Go Cavs!" added Duncan, who then put on a LeBron James jersey and a Cavaliers cap.

Duncan isn't the only one in the Spurs organization openly rooting for the Cavaliers. Coach Greg Popovich, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and team owner Peter Holt all agreed that a Cavaliers victory would be an excellent story for the league.

"The NBA has been looking for a premier team since Michael Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA championships," Popovich said. "Truthfully, I couldn't even tell you what teams have won NBA titles since."

In addition to current players and league officials, former players such as Dennis Rodman, Sean Elliot, and David Robinson have come out backing the Cavaliers. Even fans from cities other than Cleveland have voiced their support.

"To be honest, in the past couple of years I have watched more college basketball than the NBA," said San Antonio resident Derek Hill. "But there's something about the Cavaliers that gives me a reason to keep watching them, something that really draws me in. They're really a lot of, you know, what's the word… Fun."

dlish · 06-09-2007, 03:45 AM

like ive constantly said... im a spurs man through and through.

i dont see the cavs coming even close. duncan may e boring, but hes got a few good guys round him..bowen, gino, horry to name a few. not just a one man show.

dlish · 06-16-2007, 09:53 AM

SPURS win their 4th championship. it may not be the razzle dazzle of the Lakers or Bulls..but they do their job well.. a record 16-6 in this playoff is a record....

shall we deny them the honour of being the best team in the past decade?

We could be singing a different song in a few days. In my opinion Chauncey Billups should be feeling pretty low right about now. He had some big mistakes in the last few minutes. That's what made the difference here. __________________ it's quiet in here

powerclown Junkie Location: Detroit, MI	I'm sick and tired of how Detroit is playing right now. Lazy fuckers just refuse to play the game for 4 quarters. And Chris Webber is doing exactly nothing this entire ECFs. I seriously hope Detroit loses in 6...I'm sick of watching them play 46.5 minutes of garbage every night. Props to LeBron James. The sickest thing is that this is a 22 year old kid. The last Utah/SA game was awesome. Very, very entertaining game.

Kadath Muffled Location: Camazotz	I want to go to sleep! What is this double OT horseshit?! Edit: And now I can, and sleep easy. That is rising up and carrying the team on your shoulders. LeBron has the chops. __________________ it's quiet in here Last edited by Kadath; 05-31-2007 at 07:55 PM..

Kadath Muffled Location: Camazotz	So what do you think, are people going to change their tune and say the Cavs aren't serious underdogs in this series? __________________ it's quiet in here

powerclown Junkie Location: Detroit, MI	The problem is that the Spurs have more depth and talent at every position and I don't think they're going to let Boobie bomb 3s all night like the Pistons did. Ginobili is playing out of his gourd right now, and the Spurs as a team - unlike the Pistons - are extremely motivated. Let's face it: the Cavs aren't even as good as the Jazz, so LeBron is going to need multiple 50-60 point games for the Cavs to last even 5 games. Hide the women and children - its gonna be a bloodbath! Seriously though, props to Cleveland for getting it done, and for an absolutely amazing and unforgettable game 5 performance from the King. Get that man some help STAT! Last edited by powerclown; 06-03-2007 at 04:36 PM..

ARauckhorst Upright Location: Ohio	I think the cavs have a chance. The Piston's zone forced the outside shot; a man-to-man will allow Lebron to really shine. just my two cents. __________________ Thanks for the killer game of Crisco Twister

Kadath Muffled Location: Camazotz	An apropos article from The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/content/news..._for_cavaliers Article click to show SAN ANTONIO—San Antonio Spurs All-Star center Tim Duncan told reporters yesterday that he is rooting for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win this year's NBA Finals, stating that a Cavaliers victory is "exactly what the NBA needs right now." "They're an exciting team, a breath of fresh air, and with the way this year's playoffs have gone, something interesting definitely needs to happen," said Duncan, adding that with the Cavaliers in the Finals people will "finally have a reason to watch [the NBA]." "Since the Western Conference immediately became dull when the Phoenix Suns were eliminated, the league has been gasping for a team that transcends basketball and appeals to the casual fan." "Quite frankly, if the Cavs win, I really don't know who loses," Duncan added. According to Duncan, one of the main reasons he wants the Cavaliers to win the championship is so that Cleveland small forward LeBron James has a chance to flourish in the national spotlight. "LeBron has a certain magnetism a lot of other players don't have," Duncan said. "Not only is he the best player on his team, but he is also charismatic, which is rare. He's the only player I can think of that the league can market on a global scale, but the only way the NBA can do that is if Cleveland wins the title. Fingers crossed that they do." Though Duncan said it would be optimal for James to hit a game-winning jumper in the closing seconds of Game 7 to win the championship, he stated it would be equally beneficial for the league if James simply dominates from the outset of Game 1, is given the opportunity to show off his tremendous athletic ability, and sends his opponents home early. "No matter what, an NBA Finals that ends in a Cavaliers victory will be fun to watch," Duncan said. "Much more fun than a bunch of guys with no real personality playing good, fundamental basketball, which is basically the type of thing you can expect from mind-numbing teams like the Pistons and the Jazz." "Most important," Duncan said, "the league needs a team that inspires kids to get out on the court, run up and down and take the ball to the basket—not a team that dumps it into their big man and lets him do all the work. That's why I didn't root for the Miami Heat last year." "Go Cavs!" added Duncan, who then put on a LeBron James jersey and a Cavaliers cap. Duncan isn't the only one in the Spurs organization openly rooting for the Cavaliers. Coach Greg Popovich, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and team owner Peter Holt all agreed that a Cavaliers victory would be an excellent story for the league. "The NBA has been looking for a premier team since Michael Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA championships," Popovich said. "Truthfully, I couldn't even tell you what teams have won NBA titles since." In addition to current players and league officials, former players such as Dennis Rodman, Sean Elliot, and David Robinson have come out backing the Cavaliers. Even fans from cities other than Cleveland have voiced their support. "To be honest, in the past couple of years I have watched more college basketball than the NBA," said San Antonio resident Derek Hill. "But there's something about the Cavaliers that gives me a reason to keep watching them, something that really draws me in. They're really a lot of, you know, what's the word… Fun." __________________ it's quiet in here
