goddamn it..ah well, the jazz played a heck of a game. I hope lakers can do a better job in game 4 to avoid the series being even.

I'm not too worried. Lakers should be able to hold home court even if this goes to 7.

It wasn't a convinced win by the Jazz, I felt like the Lakers could have easily won still. Any thoughts on this?

Yeah I was waiting for it..especially when the Lakers cut it down to four points in the 4th quarter. That Kobe self ally-oop was sickkkkkk

Yeah Kobe is sick sometimes. He was so quick that I was like ... did he just dunk that ? He deserves that MVP no questions. He is the best player to walk on the court this season.

Kobe should have won MVP looong before this.

CP3 is a terrible flopper, if you're going to flop at least make it look realistic. As much as I hate kobe, that man has been playing ridiculous ball, he deserved that mpv. although i think the free-throw shooting is a little one-sided in lakers favor.

 

[Casawi]

Man the commentators on ESPN get on my nerves...they just do. They give no credit to the loosing team and more ... all of the sudden the Pistons are up ... the Pistons experience team blah blah...first quarter was all about Magics agrhh they could just do a little bit of shut the hell up.

 

[iamme]

woo! that one came down to the wire!

Pistons up 3-1, heading back to Detroit.

 

[Casawi]

Why the hell isn't anyone voting for the Pistons up there. Go Pistons ! Man that was a gambling decision. The Magics are toast especially is Billups plays game 5. I hope my co-worker gives up his tix again so I can be there to celebrate !!!

You might need a new face after that :laugh:
The Pistons will not be an easy walk for the Celtics, matter of fact I am not even sure if the Celtics will walk out of this series. I know I predicted the Celtics will sweep the Cavs, but the Celts are proving me wrong every road game I watch.

Just because you made a prediction doesn't mean its a good one. There was no way the Celtics were gonna sweep the Cavs.

Lakers lose...........Spurs will win again tonight only because it's another away game for the Hornets. Looks like all these road games are killer on the homecourt advantage teams.

 

[dbk]

Come on!!!!!

 

[skim milk]

I'm hoping for Lakers/Hornet western finals

then Lakers/Celtics finals

 

[Casawi]

I am going to say the Pistons will win another championship.

Wow you are into hype teams.. Yawn-a-thon

 

[zerocool84]

Hopefully the Spurs can keep up their hustle that they have now. It's near the end of the 2nd and they are having a much better game than the first 3. I really want to see this go into a game 7

 

[zerocool84]

wtf is with david west. i have seen that guy in this series with so many cheap shots.

 

[dbk]

Domination

 

[Reckoner]

Russell / Garnett Interview

 

[JJChicken]

Damn its lighting up in the west. I hope lakers and hornets get through. Jazz are playing great and Spurs have comeback well as well.

Although Hornets lost last night at least CP3 put up huge numbers and make the game worth watching. I really hope they put the Spurs away and not let it go to game 7.

Good luck, hopefully the babies will go home packing for a fishing trip after game 6 in San Antonio.

You calling Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker babies? :laugh:

Uhm, no ... obviously you didn't see Paul and West last night.

On a related note, I am really curious what the Spurs players are saying into the refs' ears every game.

Literally every single play I see tony parker over talking in the refs ear about SOMETHING. I see Duncan do his trademark "WHAT, ME?" face and then go talk to the refs about it. I see Popovich talking to them after timeouts. Seriously, check it out yourself during the next game.

Popovich is one of the best coaches in the NBA, and I am really curious to know what he gets his players to talk to the refs about. Probably trying to get any "mental" edge that they can.

Typically ALL players are trying to figure out what happened, where the call was, etc. You also have to remember that most of the Spurs players have been in the league for at least 10 years and know the refs pretty well.

Uh...you think the spurs are the only team to do this?

Not saying they are the only team to do this. Just noticed it WAY MORE with the Spurs. Seriously watch them, they will talk to the refs regardless if the call went their way or the other teams way. Literally talking to the refs the entire game.

Watch the next game, you will see.

EDIT: Dread, good point. I forgot how veteran the San Antonio team is. This could probably be the reason.
