speaking of vince, i saw his son, shane, come out of the vip exit at the game, and all i could hear him saying was
"Game 4 over my dead body!"

haha everyone started cheering. apparently, it looks like they are looking for LA fan base

doesn't matter how much time you had off in between series.

you can't replicate game speed in practices and scrimmages. did you see how hard he was playing, especially in the 4th quarter? and he said he got cramps and was dehydrated. happens to everyone.

I was at the Q last night - crazy insane atmosphere. It was amazing even though they lost. They kept showing a digital db meter on the jumbotron and it hit 107 at one point. I have no voice and didn't get home until 2am but it was worth it. Just awesome. At one point in the 4th quarter the fans were actually chanting "run a play, run a play". Can't stand watching LBJ dribble while the 4 other guys just stand around.

It just amazes me that neither the Lakers or the Cavs are untoutchable like everyone thought they were. Thats still the match up I want to see in the finals, and I think we will get it. On a serious note though, the playoffs this years were some of the best games I have seen in post season in a really long time, has the potential to be the best I have ever seen if the conferance finals each go 6-7 games each

It's way too early to count out either the Nuggets or Magic IMO. This postseason has by far been the most captivating in recent years. I'm so glad cause after March Madness, I was so over hoops. The Celtics-Bulls series was just what I needed, and the Celts-Magic and Lakers-Rockets have upped the ante

Last night's game was sick. Lewis has ice in his veins draining that tre.

you also have to realize that most people voted before may 9 and before the playoffs even started.

i guess the half court shot lying down just didn't work last night for Queen LeBrick
or the out of bounds behind the backboard shot
i hope he knows it's the nba playoffs, not a game of Horse

and tonight baby, game 2. 2-0
time to get the brooms out, sweep sweep sweep.

lol i gotta keep faith
this was some bs way to play like we played the damn rockets
way to capitalize at home and go up 2-0
now, we are nervous. execution down the stretch = horrible, rotation = horrible, and couple missed calls
jr smith cut through too early in the jump, and kobe has to touch the ball down the stretch
step it up we need to win this series to get to the finals

just thinking, with lebron entering free agency in 2010, IF cleveland doesn't win this series or finals, and lebron decides to leave, will that doom the cavaliers forever?

of course, even if he loses this year but wins the title next season, that may be a moot point.
