What a block by Tay, that was absolutely insane.

And lmfao @ Jameer Nelson

Hey, last year, no wins. This year, one win. Just wait 3 more years and they'll be able to beat the Pistons.

The Celtics better get their act together before playing the Pistons.

Celtics won't even get to the Pistons.

As bad as they look on the road, they're still playing great at home. And since they have home court, I still think they'll win the series.

Damn Pistons played great. What's everybody's predictions for the spurs v NO matchup?

If James defeats the celtics, he silences me. I'm calling lakers for the title.

wow.. unbelieveably rough game on the NO side - Tony Parker looked like a rag doll last night - Chandler blind picks him (which is legal, but leans forward to make sure Parker goes down hard) then whips his leg around while TP is on the floor and finally gives him a little kick to the back on the way up the floor.

I can't believe Ely wasn't tossed from the game for slamming Oberto to the floor. But instead, they were called with Double T's and double personal fouls.

too bad it's come to thug basketball for NO. they're too talented and don't need to resort to that to win.

Yah, that was some bullshit - but the Spurs just decided not to show up again. I can't honestly say that I want them to win this series now, they're turning into the Pistons of last year - only turn it on if they want. If the last 3 games in NO were any indication, if the Spurs win tomorrow - they're done for in NO on Sunday.

Robert Horry's appearance for San Antonio gave him 238 in the playoffs, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most in NBA history.

lol

 

[meltdown75]

Go Pistons!!

Celtics win four Game 7's and capture the championship only winning at home?

Man, this home-court advantage is huge in the playoffs. I think I saw teams are 15-1 at home this playoff season.

He was my favorite Laker. He will always be one of my favorite players of all time ever.

7 titles too hahaha; and he was a contributor too. I sincerely hope he gets into the Hall of Fame.

 

[w3stfa11]

Pistons fans (or anyone): Who do you want to see facing the Pistons in the Conference Finals, Boston or Cleveland?

I'm scared shitless of Lebron, especially if he has momentum beating the #1 team in the league, so I hope Boston wins.

sorry, he's nowhere close to HOF material. he had the unbelievable luck of being on just about every championship winning team from the mid 90's on except the bulls.

skills-wise he was merely average. his claim to fame came from hitting a couple playoff game winning 3's.

other than the hip check on nash, he seems like a good guy though. i always see him helping opponents off the floor and all.

Meeting and beating Cleveland would a fantastic way for redemption. However, that would mean they overcame the Celtics, which would be scary.

Playing Boston would be epic since the Celtics have been so highly touted all year long. It'd be a heavyweight matchup.

Celtics have $hi!t for a bench, Cavs bench scored 36pts vs Celtics 17.

Detroit will do the same thing, when they got players like McDyess coming off the bench and the Celtics are stuck with guys like old ass Cassell, they are in trouble.

In the playoffs if you don't have a good bench you are done, Hell they struggled with Atlanta even.

LOL, Kareem and Horry in the same sentence.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Celts are finally playing with some intensity.

 

[JJChicken]

Gooo Celtics! Now win AWAY from home.

 

[JJChicken]

Has anyone else noticed how shit Ray Allen is playing this series? He better pull up some Js for the conference finals.

What does +/- mean in the nba stats?

Usually its +/- in a certain stat while some certain player is on the court.

EX: When KG is on the floor, the +/- for points is +6, meaning the celtics outscore the Cavs by 6 points while KG is on the floor.

It could be used for rebounding, assists, etc etc

 

[TheoPetro]

up 14 in the first half and they lost it. did lebron even score in the third quarter? and what the fuck was mike brown doing putting in wallace for szerbiachikghafklghak when there down by 6 with 3min left? I sure do hate brown. At first I was like "ehh hes not so bad" but the more I see the more im wondering wtf he is thinking. AND dont get me started on lebron's 3pt attempts that game. if you cant make it DONT SHOOT IT!

o well. We will win at home and then game 7 will be a damn doozy.

 

[James3shin]

WTF IS VUJACIC DOING!? Up only 5 and then getting a tech with 2:41 left in the game?! Not to mention he's 1/10 from the field, arghhH!!

 

[chuckywang]

Great ending coming up for Jazz/Lakers.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

PAU PAU!!!
