2007-2008 NBA Season

[AxlsMainMan]

Let's go Celtics, let's go!

Should be a great game tonight

[Eazy E]

Is anyone else getting sick of listening to Van Gundy?  I can't imagine being coached by this guy.

[crow316]

Thats funny.  I used to hate Van Gundy, but he's kinda growing on me.

Damnit...

Well my Spurs lost a couple nights ago, good game though.

I predicted Celtics in 5, I was wrong... they'll get it in 6 though.

I say the Spurs still have a shot here. They beat LA on the road in a must win right? (this can happen)

then they come back home and you know the crowd will be nuts... and they can win there too... game 7 in LA will be very tough though and the emotions might be dried up for the Spurs (who are mostly hitting 30-32 in age)

Spurs can win this series. I have faith in them.

Celtics got it though.

Which is more appealing? Celts/Lakers or Celts/Spurs?

I like a Celts/Spurs matchup more...

[pilferk]

I think the Celts have a good shot in Detroit....ESPECIALLY if Hamilton is out.

It was nice to see them play, for 2 qtrs, like the "mid season" Celts.

Dude, seriously.

Get the help you need.  There are 12 step programs and support groups if you can't afford rehab.

God bless you.

[Axl4Prez2004]

I love Duncan and all...but how can you resist the siren call of Lakers-Celtics???  I can't think of a more legendary matchup in an NBA Finals...and I think we're on our way there.

I really don't want to make conflict but whatever...

Is that your way of "thinking you know me" ?

I mean get real dude... it's a message board man. Life goes on whether you post that or not... so what's your point clown?

tired of hearing about the no call on Fish


If SA do get FT's and win that game, u have the exact same fuckin sports pundits bitchin that the Shot clock didnt reset on Fish's shot which it should have and then there wouldnt have even been a final SA shot.

It all evened out, LA deserved to win and they did.

dont count out Detroit yet. They will take it to 7 and then anything can happen


I put 50 bucks on the money line for SA tonight.
I have a feeling this thing isnt over yet.

Oh, I had no idea you had real issues.  My bad.

With that, let me get to my point.

All the above scenarios you listed....they aren't going to happen.

The media has to have something to talk about.  If not for that, they would just photoshop Charles Barkley onto cartoons/weird people/obscure objects for the entire duration of the pregame program.

I really hope Detroit stretches it out to 7 games, but why on God's green earth did Allen shove Rip all the way down the key and not get called for an offensive foul?

To pick out ONE play from any game is ridiculous.  There were (and have been) bad calls on both sides of every game this playoffs, and will continue to be.  Rasheed was pissed about the reffing, and rightfully so.  The Celtics would've had equal rights had they lost the game.  The refs didn't decide the game, but they certainly made their mark with their calls and no calls.

As for the play with Fisher/Barry, a tough call no doubt.  Barry just didn't sell the call.  If he goes right up the moment he felt contact, instead of dribbling and moving back to take a 3, he gets the foul call.  I think he's more to blame then the officials on that one.  The one thing I can't stand though is people saying the refs can't call that a foul with 2 seconds left in the game.  That's a crock of shit.  If they can call that a foul in the opening seconds of a game, then they better damn well call that a foul in the closing seconds.  But again, I'm hoping the reason they didn't call it was because Barry did a poor job selling the foul and not because it happened with 2 seconds left.

I've always hated that "rule" as well.  A foul is a foul, whether it occurs in the 1st quarter with 6:24 to play or in the 4th quarter with .01 left.

Barry shouldn't have been a little pussy.  Hasn't he ever watched game footage of Kobe in the film room?  He should have just gone straight up instead of running away from it.  With the way the rules are, yes the refs made the correct call with the circumstances involved.

But seriously...the referees have been terrible every game in every series.  I don't think there has been one cleanly officiated game in the playoffs.

If they started calling fouls with seconds left in the game, the players would then TRULY decided the game amongst themselves.

thats what im saying...i have to root for Boston even though I dont really lke Boston either....i just really dislike Kobe Bryant...not as a player...as a player I think he is phenomenal...the best in the world....I just think he is a horrible person..for obvious reasons...hard to root for a guy like that....but the media has a very short memory...its the way it is....

I don't like him as a person either.  That whole adultery thing and running Shaq out of town spoiled the Kobe Bryant experience for me.

But I don't know the guy, I will never meet him so all that doesn't matter to me.  He can make a mean jump shot, I'll tell you that much.

San Antonio's run is over.  Rebuilding, here we come!

(D, sorry you lost 50 on the game.)

[Bodhi]

true...it looks like the Spurs are on their way out....

They need to get rid of all those old geezers if they want a shot at at least one more championship run.

Yes, I'm talking to YOU Brent Barry, Robert Horry, Mike Finley, and yes Manu, you too.

Duncan will get his 20 and 10 for another 4 seasons, and Parker is still good.
