i can't wait until the cavs get to play in the playoffs

LOL at that shot before half time.

its like the cavs are playing my high school team, man , is there anything they can do to win one game,
just one game, to make it more than a cavs highlight reel

Wait, wait.... hold on... let me get this straight.

Rondo throws Hinrich into the scorers table: Flagrant 1 during the game, gets taken away later.

Earlier game today, Perkins purposely puts an elbow into Pietrus' throat: Flagrant 1.

Artest makes a completely standard foul to stop the guy from scoring: Flagrant 2?


REALLY???

That was nothing but a normal fucking foul. These ****ing NBA refs are out of their mind retarded!!!

reputation call.

Ya, I think it was also that the game was over and less than a minute left. No reason for anything else to happen.


Re: The clock issue. It looks as though you were right. The only way to really tell by watching a game is when there's less than a minute left in a quarter, and the game clock starts but the shot clock is still at 24. I get it, but it still doesn't make any sense to me why there would be no consistency with the game and shot clock. So ya, I was wrong.

So if your name is Artest, you only get 1 foul per game instead of 6. Got it.

no, if it looks bad he is not getting the benefit of the doubt. you know what I mean.

Carmelo Anthony

Oh man, I hope Cuban writes a blog tonight.

Chauncey Billips is definitely the best basketball player named Chauncey ever

yao out denver up 3-0 can we just fast forward and start lakers nuggets?

The NBA admitted officials were wrong when they didn't call an intentional foul the Dallas Mavericks were trying to commit before Denver's Carmelo Anthony made a game-winning 3-pointer Saturday.

You guys still lose and you're essentially done but we want you to know that we are really really sorry

I know the Heat would have at least put forth more effort than Atlanta is. What a travesty of a series.

The thing that bugs me about that play is that the Mavericks all say they were intending to foul there and Wright even said that immediately after the shot went in.

But...he threw his arms up as Melo went around him acting like he didn't touch Melo. How do you expect to get a call when you don't make it obvious that you fouled the guy AND you made the international sign for "I didn't foul him"?

Obviously, I don't really care as the Nuggets are up 3-0 and would probably be pissed if the situation were reversed. But if you're going to foul somebody, foul him so there's no doubt (I'm not saying punch him in the face or anything) and don't act like you didn't foul him.

Real eye of the tiger by the Lakers today

When you have a team down keep them down

LOL what a bad beat for orlando. You can't stop big baby, you can only hope to contain him..

that was a crushing loss. they would have stolen the game and the series with that win.

great finish in the celtics game. celtics blew the lead and honestly as a celts fan, wow i cant be more relieved. could use garnett. way to go big baby

LOL it was such an ugly shot. It had like zero arc at all.

the thing about it though is that, big baby shoots that shot all the time. it was inevitable if you ask me. that is his range

Well that was ugly - see the cavs after another week and a half of Jacuzzi time

8-0 all by double digits

all this rest is paying dividends. Cavs are very healthy and will be well rested for the home stretch.

So is Nene pronounced Nay-Nay or Na-Nay.... these announcers are making me crazy.

I always went with the second one.

That wasn't nearly as annoying, though, as Steve Smith pronouncing Dirk's name as, "NO WISS KEES" the whole night.

And none of it was as annoying as him dropping 44 points.

that ball didn't hit the rim

that shot last night was a 3 not a 2

why do they have instant replay if they have no idea how to use it?

wrong.

also who will be the new coach of the magic next year?

Pulling for Houston to push it to 7, but I really want to see the Nuggets play the Lakers so we can see how good they are.

Gotta beat the best to be the best...

all im asking for are a couple of good game 7s, and not two blow outs

God the Rockets have no offense - they'd be better off shooting it from half court ever single possession

I have Nuggets vs Lakers tickets for Games 3 4 & 6

All lower level/club level

PM if interested

Go Nugs! Or lakers, if you're into that...

This would be supremely cool.




Nuggets in 5 games, maybe 6.


Ok realistically, it could go 7 games but Nuggets win this series.

I don't expect the Lakers to have the same troubles with Denver they did with Houston. Everyone is looking at LA like they are a lame horse waiting for someone to put them down, it's not going to be that easy. It's going to be an interesting series for much different reasons.

I don't know what to make of this series. At this point, I'm not convinced Denver CAN'T win like I was about a month ago but LA is not nearly as prone as a lot of people want to say they are. They dominated the games they really needed against Houston. I hope it's a fun series and obviously I hope Denver can get one in LA before it comes to Denver for Game 3.

I might look into going to Game 3 if it's not a 2-0 series with LA dominating both games at that point.

I don't think that LA is going to dominate the series, but a lot of people seem to think Denver is going to steamroll LA now and I just don't agree.

i guess most people dont remember last year when the celtics went 7 games against the hawks, and still went on to win it all, as much as i dont like l.a. i wouldnt count them out and i do see it ending in 7 games with the lakers on top

Yeah. I know the Nuggets are playing well but for this many people to think they're going to handle LA easily is a bit silly.

The Rockets matched up much better with LA than the Nuggies do. That high tempo game might backfire against LA. But I dont see the lakers steamrolling Denver either.....they are not playing at a high enough level (and obv. the Nuggies are playing so well so far).

I will go with LA in seven in what will be a GREAT series.

I'm so confident the Lakers are going to cruise this series, I'm not even going to use my ticket for the games in Denver. Saving my money for the Finals.

i trust this guy right here.

Lakers in 5, Cavs in 6. Lebron vs. Kobe Finals with Lakers in 6.

I really hope the Magic and Nuggets win, but you know what most fans want to see so we are likely to see it.

Hollinger makes a case for the Nuggets

Lakers in 6
Cavs in 6

Lakers in 7

i disagree with the match up point.

What could Larry David and Spike Lee be talking about?

Maybe Spike is a really big fan of the Crazy Eye Killa episode of Curb - then again I doubt it

Just realized I've been wearing a Nuggets shirt all day.

I will murder Anthony Carter.

He shouldn't be inbounding the ball.

Meanwhile, I've always been a big Carmelo guy, and this is the guy we've been waiting for. Very exciting.

Wow. so sick to steal game 1.... go lakersssssss. I did however gain a ton of respect for carmelo tonight. He played his ass off and deserved to win that game
