we got on reggie and melo the whole game. with the whole crotch grabbing incident with kaman the other night, there was a good amount of fun to be had.

amusing signs...

"hey reggie, leave kaman's nuggets alone."
"hey reggie, don't get teste with kaman."

I have yet to see the replay.
Did the angle verify Reggie messing with Kamans nuggets?

If so, where the ___ is the fine and suspension?

Of course since Stern has no nutts he cannot relate to Kaman.

Speaking of Stern, the Kobe sniffing Lickers must be thrilled with the braketting giving the Lakers home court in all of Round 2. Since at Clipper "home" games the crowd is 60% rich Laker bitches who bought off Clipper ticket holders.

I didn't say that the pistons were over-rated, rather over-hyped. That's my opinion. They will be number 2 again this year though

over hyped? lmao. more like under rated. they don't get the credit they deserve. everyone wants to watch the fucking suns and mavs. some of the pistons series hasnt even been on tv except nba tv...

and i believe reggie evans was fined and was issued a flagrant 2, and kaman's flagrant was downgraded to a technichal. not 100% sure on that

In the east. The East is the weaker conference. The West will win the championship.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...ory?id=2429401

NEW YORK -- Denver forward Reggie Evans was fined $10,000 and assessed a flagrant foul penalty two by the NBA on Monday for his actions during the Nuggets' 100-86 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.

Evans was cited for "unnecessary and excessive contact" with Clippers center Chris Kaman and had his penalty upgraded from the technical foul that was originally called.

Kaman was assessed a flagrant foul penalty one for his actions after the second-quarter incident, but that was downgraded to a technical foul by the league.

Spurs once again. The Pistons haven't looked great against the Bucks. Like you said, neither have the Spurs. It will be SA vs Det in the finals. SA will win in 6.

Spurs and Detroit will most likely be their respecitve conference champs, but I'm rooting for the Mavs and Heats.

The Mavs, if they can finally beat their state rivals will cause an interesting and entertaining matchup for the Pists or the Heats. Because let's be honest here...the Spurs strategy for EVERY GAME is starting to bore the crap out of me.

not as strange and unlikely as people seem to think. Look at the path: Clippers in round 2 (not scaring me at all), and then the Dallas/SA-Sac winner in the conf. finals, (which with the way these teams are playing looks like will be Dallas).

So a Lakers-Mavs conf. final is pretty likely, and Lakers match up well with Dallas, are usually competitive with them, Kobe scored 62 in 3 quarters agaisnt them etc..... you never know.....

lakers and clippers will be fun. if lakers keep it up, they definatley have a shot. before the playoffs started i predicted the clippers would beat the lakers in the 2nd round, but lakers are playing better than i expected so maybe i was wrong. but sorry, either LA will lose to the spurs

good riddance. that guy pisses the hell out of me, flopping all over the place. Kobe touches him with his hip and he falls to the gorund. Then Kobe's elbow catches Bell on the shoulder and he acts like he got hit in the face. Barkley just agreed with me on both points on Inside the NBA.

And that clothesline/choke/right handed pull down was downright dirty. If Artest got suspended for that elbow, and Posey for that bump, Bell HAS to be suspended for game 6.

You have to admit that was a stylish clothesline delivered by Bell It was as good as something right out of the good ole WWE. It's too bad he's going to be suspended because you know that Kobe would get him back in the next game. Does anyone remember what he did to Mike Miller earlier in the year?

That's just lame ass marketing by the NBA to appeal to the white/older fans just like that shit last year with Rob Thomas. Who the fcuk associates Rob Thomas with the NBA??? No one, that's who, absolutely no one. As far as the refs calling fouls and throwing people out of the game, they're trying to clean it up. No one wants to go back to the days of the rough and tough Knicks when the average score was 78 - 74 with fouls aplenty and constant holding, shoving and rough housing. I personally prefer a much smoother game without all the roughhouse tactics. It's basketball afterall, not rugby.

Looks like the Nets are back on their feet. They'll take it down the next game.

I haven't actually watched any of Detroit's games yet. THe next one is the last for in round 1.

I am also hoping washington wins, just cause I don't like lebron. ::

Miami might have trouble closing out the series, as wade is not going to be 100% in the next game.

I am still hoping that pheonix advances, even though there have only been 7 teams in the past that overcame a 3-1 deficit.

I like how the kings play, especially wells. He is very talented, but SAS will end up moving on.

Kobe also proceeded to mouth off about Raja not getting suspended. After a classless play by Raja, that was very classy of Bryant going to bat for Raja IMO. It just shows how much Bryant looks forward to adequate competition.

You may think that way now, but try to catch a game of the Knicks back in 1994 on ESPN Classics. In fact, any year between 1992-1997. It'll blow your mind..

Great idea, in fact I'll pull out my old video tape of the Bulls kicking the crap out of the Knicks in Game 6 when they blocked Charles Smith's shot 4 times at the end of the game
