Forgot all about Linwood! damn

When Stan first got the gig in Miami, I said that to my friends. Then later, I find out the players were making jokes calling him that as well. I LOLed

**Phlip** · 05-05-2008, 09:23 PM

Man, the Hornets are giving San Antonio fits

OptionZero · 05-05-2008, 10:17 PM

The Spurs simply put too many non-scorers on the floor.

Bowen, Udoka, Kurt Thomas (despite his 9 pts tonight), even Michael Finley at times, Jacque Vaughn, Oberto. They might be able to knock down the occasional open shot, but they do not create opportunities for themselves of others.

That affords a team that has both good individual defenders and good rotations to shut them down for long periods, which is what New Orleans is doing.

On the flip side, Paul is making Bowen completely useless and exposing Parker as not all that great on defense. West was indefensible last night, and even tonight, when he's off offensively, he's dominating the glass with Chandler.

Mo Pete and Peja, unlike their counterparts Finley and Bowen, are actually hitting shots and are legitimate offensive threats.

The Hornets have built their team well- it's not just the luck of drafting Chris Paul. They've drafted well even in the middle of the first round (David West, Julian Wright) and made shrewd trades and signings (s/t for Chandler, s/t for Peja, MLE deal for Mo Pete, Bobby jackson for Mike James and Bonzi Wells).

Pretty good use of all their resources.

Kobe is officially the MVP. The press conference was
great.

"Kobe, would you like to retire a Laker?"
-Absolutely

I guess the MVP race wasn't as close as the media
made it to be.

Xandy Boosts · 05-06-2008, 04:55 PM

damn I wasn't first to post.

I missed the press conference too, gotta find the video somewhere.

Xandy Boosts · 05-06-2008, 05:46 PM

bwahahaha fucking luke walton

since you said your teammates made you better, are you gonna get them gifts?

*he didn't say exactly that, but it was close*

SimpleSexy180 · 05-06-2008, 06:39 PM

lmao. that was funny.

WERDdabuilder · 05-06-2008, 06:47 PM

Bos playing great ball in the first period.

Xandy Boosts · 05-06-2008, 08:57 PM

haha bron blows a layup...wow

SimpleS14 · 05-06-2008, 08:59 PM

whoa...that was a damn close game. I can't believe how crappy LeBron, Pierce and Allen's game were.

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 05-06-2008, 09:02 PM

turned into a nail biter there...... I can only hope LeBron plays likes this thru the whole series..... Rondo was killin it in the 1st!

s14_legend · 05-06-2008, 09:49 PM

about time .... the well deserved MVP award

I can't believe Boston only beat them by 4 with Lbj going 2/18 with 10 TOs. That's not exactly a great game by the celtics. I think if they can keep the game close, cleveland has a great chance to win.

**Phlip** · 05-07-2008, 08:42 PM

It's official, he has the trophy, and he is either a great actor, or was murderously intense...
Now it's game time.

Xandy Boosts · 05-07-2008, 11:12 PM

he's intense like that

here's an article I read about him awhile back
shows you how focused he is

kouki_s14 · 05-07-2008, 11:35 PM

Still the only undefeated team in the playoffs, woot!

Xandy Boosts · 05-07-2008, 11:47 PM

anyone else glad it's the summer olympics this summer?

meaning when there should be NO basketball to watch for 6 months, we get to watch the dreamteam in the meantime?

Yeah I've been trying to find out who will be on the team, so far not many people are confirmed. Anyone know the schedule of games? We should start a different thread when the time is right.

s14_legend · 05-08-2008, 09:03 AM

heck yea lakers take game 2...now for fridays game....iono about the celtics i think the cavs might win it

**Phlip** · 05-08-2008, 09:05 AM

For the sake of the Pistons, they'd better pray to whomever they believe in that Chauncey Billups is not seriously injured

s14_legend · 05-08-2008, 09:41 AM

yeah its pretty much over for them if hes out

yudalicious · 05-08-2008, 08:53 PM

Here's something that's been on my mind. I love how nasty CP3 is. At his what, 4th year in the league, he's already doing small and crafty things that a veteran does to gain any advantage he can for his team. He's also a nasty competitor on the court, I love that.

94cc0rd · 05-08-2008, 08:56 PM

chris paul is just flat out amazing... sick...

kouki_s14 · 05-08-2008, 10:14 PM

loving the spurs/hornets game

dont really care who wins, but this battle between parker and paul is fun to watch.

Hopefully they go to game 7 and tire each other out before they play the Lakers.

s14_legend · 05-09-2008, 08:16 AM

LAKERS game 3 tonight!!! sweeeet

kouki_s14 · 05-09-2008, 09:52 PM

wayyyyy too many turnovers by the Lakers tonight

Not to mention Utah did some impressive shooting as well.

Hopefully things change on sunday

kouki_s14 · 05-09-2008, 10:02 PM

Jordan and Sasha didn't really get involved as well, we need them to hit their shots if the Lakers are going to win.
