the announcers of course dont have bearing on the game, but they ruined it for me... just sucked the enjoyment out of it.

i know the hawks played like shit but i kind of dont blame them, i wouldve refused to play after they ejected marvin... it was absurd. if i were mike woodson i wouldve combated their absurdity with my own and played zaza, ac law, solomon jones, and salim stoudamire for the rest of the game after the kg shoulder, and each play would be a screen to set zaza up for a three-pointer. every.single. play. for the rest of the game.

and by not deserving it i mean i really don't think they played better than the hawks... the way the refs just turned a blind eye towards kg after his blow-up in game 3 was also ridiculous... it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and its a shame because i was really enjoying the season

the refs didnt turn a blind eye, they will probably told to turn a blind eye. the playoffs probably would have sucked without the celtics, its still a business. and they were already down by 20 something after marvin got the boot, they had no chance. i can totally understand being you being pissed but thats how the game goes i guess. me, im stoked. i think the celtics will blow through the cavaliers as long as they can slightly contain lebron.

i think the hawks were just well matched up when it came down to it, josh childress was good on pierce, horford was good on garnett, and johnson was good on allen. but the cavs dont have those kind of matchups, even though they are in theory the better team. the playoffs always come down to one on one matchups i think.

If the Magic beat the Pistons, I will bake you all cookies.

i think you're pretty safe with that one, Krastian. People are sorta dozing on Detroit,but it's never a good idea..

I hope the Spurs pull out a win tonight..not bc i'm a Spurs fan, just bc i want a great series, which i fully expect anyways...even if N.O wins tonight.

The clock malfunction yesterday in the Pistons/Magic game was some bs....they should change the rule so that they can check it out with another clock.

You gotta give it up for the Magic though for playing the Pistons tuff.

Def. looking forward to the Celtics and Cavs tonight.

I'm sticking with the Celtics.


Celtics over the Lakers in 7.

haven't watched in a couple weeks or so... its back to the boring teams... just once a major upset would be nice... oh well, i guess thats why they have the NCAA tornament

[Rob Instigator]

NCAA? whata joke. Those losers shoot less than 40% from the field, and less than 20% from 3-point range.

sure, if all you wanna see is endless bricks and missd layups and airballs, watch the minor league NCAA
