As Tommy Heinsohn would say, "I love Rondo!!!"

18 rebounds by a 6'1" PG is just all desire.

6 stitches without anesthesia and his eye is swelling shut pretty good.

Damn. Nash looks like he just stepped right out of a Sam Raimi movie.

And as dirty as I feel saying it...Go Celtics!

Well looks like Suns are going to the WCF. Good for them. They've played hard.

I used to hate Rondo. I thought he was retarded but damn these past 2 years he's just been getting better and better. He's only 24 and still has room to grow.

How the fuck do you foul the guy in the act of shooting the 3 in a 6 point game? /mind wobbles

[techforums]

Might come back against the lakers

 

[dougp]

Someone should tell Nash that Kobe likes to rape white women ...

Might come back against the lakers

Sure hope so, gong to need his size for the Lakers.

but but but my elbow hurts. Suck it up lebron. Nash took over in the 4th with one eye

Tim Duncan's chances of ever getting another championship are flying off into the wind. Put a fork in the Spurs. The current Spurs team is no longer a title contender.

Nash is amazing. You lose a majority of your depth perception with only one eye. He was nailing 3's while in that condition! Awesome.

I hope the Celtics - Cavs series goes to 7. Cleveland is having a lot harder time than I thought.

 

[cheezy321]

The WCF wont start until May 17th. I expect RoLo to be back by then.

Yeah, they were saying 7 days off until they start, so here's hoping.

Good game Suns, I am a avid Spurs fan, but I loved the games, great contest. Spurs lost coz of free throws and lack of three pointers. Amy team who misses 8 - 9 FTs and cant shoot 3 pointers in playoffs, deserve to disappear into oblivion. I will root for Suns now. I hope they denut Coby once and for all, and hang them on I-10's AZ-CA border. I would like to see a Suns-Magic finals!!

I think the suns have a viable chance against the lakers. Kobe looks and plays alot older these days (he's past his prime, arguably he was past his prime last year).

The east is where the action is at. I'm really hoping the celtics can maintain their intensity into Game 5. At their best, they are a better team than the cavaliers, who by all accounts, have good individual players, but horrible, horrible, horrible coaching. And I mean Horrible. Then again, it is very difficult to coach a superstar and try and get him to buy-in to a "team game" system, you more or less have to let him dominate the plays (whether it is good for the team or not).

Gogogo Celtics, I love their style of play (rooting for Magic though cause they haven't won yet and man Dwight Howard is a class act).

75% rolo> 200% collins

I'll be cheering for Boston the rest of this series. I really can't stand Paul Pierce...but I love Ray Allen and Rondo has really, really impressed me these playoffs. His maturity is light years beyond what it was the last couple years. And his playing...well...he's the real MPV

Cleveland is just the Dallas of the East. Regular season queens who go soft when it matters. They'll get outcoached, out hustled, and go home crying because everyone said they should have won.

 

[fustercluck]

Suns beat Spurs 4-0 in the playoffs...yet somehow the pain from the past is still there - Still makes me happy though. Nash deserves an NBA title so much, so I'm rooting for them.

Someone should tell Spurs fans that their team just got swept. They didnt deserve to be ranked above OKC.

Your point? Someone should tell Suns fans that winning in the Conference Semi-Finals doesn't land you a trophy.

While true, you have to admit that beating the team that has consistently been beating you down for the past however many years is something to celebrate. Could already be their championship, though I sure hope not.
