the game tonight gave me heartburn i think. Horrible horrible performance from the celtics. **** poor for the defending champs. they came from behind, and i thought they were going to pull it off...but alas...no....

If they are going to beat orlando, ray allen needs to have more than 9 points in a game.

but i have faith they will win game 2.....

Why? Because they\'ll be hungrier and want it more than the Magic?

either that or ray allen will surely play better, and orlando\'s extra 2 days of rest is no longer an issue. they were clearly off their game in the first half, and coming from a 7 game series w/ 7 overtimes, who blames them?

how the padres lookin this year, leith?

Yeah I was just giving her a little guff. She\'s decided to jump in the thread so....

As for the Padres, just like every year looking like ****.
Peavy has not been coming through, wait nice try hijack king.

Ray usually follows a really bad game with a really good one.
i definitely think orlando\'s extra 2 days of rest also helped them.

Don\'t worry, Leith. I can take it

Well the rust of sitting for a week really showed tonight.
2/17 from 3 pt range.

Brooks ran Fisher into the ground.
That kid was everywhere faster than everyone else all night.

Oh well I figured this would go 6 so the Rockets got one of the two they\'ll get.

Odom did nothing. Pau did less. Kobe had one good spurt. Yao was the best player on the court. Lakers in 5.

celtics were tired. amazing comeback, if they wound up winning that, i would be fully confident that the magic are going down.

ray and paul need to at least have 20+ point games each and they will win. if not, it don\'t look good.

considering how aweful the celts played, to be in it at the end after trailing by like 26, a moral victory. def hungover from the bulls series. unless lebron gets injured no ones beating them in the eastern conference

Why does Ben Wallace earn close to $15 million? His stats do not justify anything near that figure.

Igziabeher · « **Reply #178 on:** May 06, 2009, 10:26:05 pm »

defense?

leith · « **Reply #179 on:** May 07, 2009, 01:26:20 am »

Kobe off the glass to himself and SCORE!!!

What a game.

Derek taking Scola out was just awesome.
Artest melting down was even better and Wafer being sent to the showers for jabbing w/ Adelman damn that\'s cool.

5 technicals and 2 ejections.

Whew! This series is gonna be fun to watch!
