Just a quick shout out for Chick Hearn!!


Hearing his voice on the commercials for the NBA Championship just brought back some grand memories!!!



Man, I miss Chick!

 

[Capt Caveman]

Celts up 3-2!!!

Celts are 29-0 when up 3-2 in the playoffs. Hope they can keep it perfect.

This game got very wild in the 2nd half. Celtics almost blew it.

The door's closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the JELLO'S JIGGLING!

So close for Detroit. They've got to play the entire 48 minutes and not just one quarter. Theo Ratliff blows. Stuckey is developing into a fantastic player.

 

[JJChicken]

Ray Allen 5-6 from downtown!

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Celts nearly blew the game. This series will most likely go 7 games.

sigh . I still go to youtube off/on just to hear his classics...
I will always regret not trying to make phone calls for the post-game calling sessions Hearn hosted on am570.

Man, Ray Ray light the shit up last night! If only he does that every night. ZOMG. I hope he gets cold feet when Celts play Lakers.

NBA is rigged. Spurs got jobbed just like the Kings did SO MANY TIMES against LA.

Boston V LA in the finals? $$$ for the NBA.

wasn't Boston in the basement just two maybe three seasons ago?

rigged.

The NBA is not rigged, its endemic bad officiating which is made further worse by the lack of replays.

This entire "NBA is rigged" business is so stupid. Just the at the moment, officiating is not that great. They should have a challenge system where each team uses a timeout for challenging calls, or a player can challenge a call with the expense of having a foul counted towards him (you have 3 fouls, and you get a 4th if you want to challenge, but other team doesn't make a freethrow..etc).

ya and they let Tim Duncan travel. They also had Kobe not go to the foul line. They also did not reset the shot clock after Fisher's miss prior to that call. Barry did not sell the call anyways. His fault.

Oh, and the Spurs won numerous times within the past 10 years or so. The Spurs also got the Finals handed to them last year when the league ejected key players of the Suns team.

as long time spurs jock-rider, i can tell you they lost that game for many reasons other than that call.

heh, I'm a lakers fan, and when the play occured, I thought "oh crap that's a foul.. ugh."

Afterwards, I didn't get an excited feeling because I thought "damn, they just pulled a non-call...ugh, now to read all the crap about nba being rigged for the next year..sigh."

But then again, the Fisher miss not resetting the shot clock cancelled it out for me. *shrug*

Good luck to the fans of Spurs and Lakers tonight! I think it'll be a highly-contested game. Can't wait!

Let's go Lakers! 4-1 baby!

are you sure you're an ATOT Laker fan...cause I think there is a requirement that you have to be an obnoxious douchebag.

I'm rooting for SA so that we can see at least one more game of superb ball

 

[JJChicken]

Looks like lakers might win this after Bryant's last two clutch shots.
