I was at the game tonight, hell of a comeback by the Celtics. If only they didn't start out so slow. Hopefully they can play with that same intensity for the rest of the series...
Great atmosphere and the house was rocking during that comeback...
On a side note, just something I observed with Dwight Howard. After the game he gave and interview and I wanted to get a closer view with my friend who may have been the only Magic fan in the building. After the interview he was shaking hands, signing autographs and then not only gives away his jersey, but also each of his shoes. At first I was wonder what he was doing, stretching in the crowd, then I realized we was taking off his sneakers and signing them. I wouldn't have been as surprised if he did it in Orlando, but did it in Boston. He really is a class act...
I will try to post some pictures later this week...

That Cavs/Hawks game was painful to watch! You see them making the same mistakes over and over again.
I was glad to see Josh Smith making some plays.
King James is awesome to watch... just not when he's playing against your team!

surprisingly, i like orlando
Cleveland won't be able to contain howard, and if their shots are falling, it'll be the magic's series to lose
just play some fucking defense is all we ask for
then stop in the finals

Yeah I'm trying to figure out why Fisher took that cheap ass shot. Scola fouled Lamar at the other end, but it wasn't a hard foul. Then everyone starts talking to him. Don't know. You know Fisher wouldn't try that shit with Artest.
Artest... wtf is he doing?

Yall are being pansies. The East gets away with alot of this stuff. Let the west play.
I'll take the win. Fish is probably gonna get suspended, Kobe's was just a missed foul call. The thing is with Fisher's foul is that DWill got away with that same type of play in the Jazz series and it was just a foul.
I got the feeling that Scola is a dirty player, but not from his time for being on Rockets. He was part of that Argentina team that beat the Lebron, Wade, and Melo. He was uber annoying and definitely a gamer. He probably been pulling some veteran crap the whole game....not saying that's wrong, but those player from Argentina know how to get away with stuff w/i the bounds of the game.
But just let em play....all this ticky tack foul shit is making our game weak. When the West goes to the East to play, they aren't ready for the physical play.

who's talking about ticky tack fouls - we're talking about Fisher's cheap shot and Kobe's elbow that got missed. If a Houston player did the same thing you'd be on her talking about the same thing. And the only reason why Kobe's elbow is a story is becasue Artest got ejected, which I don't think he should have. He didn't do shit and players should be allowed to get up in each other's faces. The leagues is too soft. Shit talking is good for the league. I got no problems with hard fouls or as long as it's called both ways. Shoot I hope the Laker/Houston series get's more physical, I got my money on Houston if it's no holds barred.

houston just awoke the beast in LA.
it will be interesting without fisher, much more faster game with shannon and farmar. Artest is an idiot, he needs to learn to talk to the refs. It'll be entertaining, but Lakers will come up on top.
