Boston v. Philadelphia
Underway.....1st quarter

TNT
AtdheNet.TV on your 'puter

I barely cared when we had a team...I'm barely even aware of the NBA now.

Fish on...

Same here, I miss the old days of the Lakers vs Boston.

Could happen...
Fakers are up next, after this one. About 7:00 PM Pacific.
Meta Douchebag World Peace faces James Harden for the first time since the elbow incident.

I hate the Fakers but that friggin Kobe is good.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are feakin' good as well.

I used to LOVE watching the NBA and particulularly the Payton/Kemp Sonics. After watching enough, it became pretty obvious that certain games, and potentially titles, were being decided by refs. It even looked rigged. And, it was. I think it is corrupt from the top down.

I was done at that point and I'll never care again.

As a side note, I can't believe anyone from Seattle would actually be fighting to get a team back here. It is like asking for a refill after someone pissed in your glass.

Won't happen...no Bird and Magic. :>(

You can't blame wins and losses on refs. Period. Anyone that has played organized basketball on any level can attest to that.

This playoffs has been interesting with low seeds moving on and with injuries to key players its anyones game.

The "star" treatment on fouling has always annoyed me.

Yeah you can, there was a ref that admitted to fixing games and was charged.

Have you played organized basketball???

Yep, starting in 4th grade thru H.S why?

what is the NBA?

Because you should know that refs don't control your execution on either side of the ball. Its a cheap excuse but if your shots aren't falling or you aren't playing proper defense, sure blame the ref.

Also why there are more than one referee..

I'm talking about the NBA, where star players get the benefit of fouls, opposed to lesser name players. Are you aware of the NBA Ref that admitted to fixing games?

Yes and that's why there are multiple referees and a head coach that can get into the ear and influence calls.

It is what it is with star players. The nba is a business and the star players sell jerseys and sell out arenas. Its a business and has always been that way. They don't get calls all the time either. Look at Tyrone Lue when he used to guard Iverson, the beat down the pistons put on MJ, Tony Allen in all of his big games with the Celtics and even now with the Grizzlies.

Once again as a person that has played ball since 4th grade, I would expect a higher basketball IQ..

I think it has improved, especially after the Bad Ref scandal.

Fakers are getting crushed....down by 33

End of 3rd quarter.

Pacers at Heat
Underway...1st quarter.

Sweet!

id like to see Miami win it all... not because i like basketball, but because im tired as hell of my friends saying that Lebron sucks because he doesnt have any damn "rings"....

Miami doesn't deserve one. Truly shows what happens when you spend all your money on stars and not on quality role players..

As long as Miami loses, I'll be happy.

Celtics at Sixers
Game 3
1st quarter.

Series tied 1-1

Is Bill Russell playing?

Celtics win 107 - 91


Fakers - Thunder
18 - 16 Thunder
1st

Is Wilt playing?

Wilt died a while ago. Stay classy

They could use Wilt.
These Okies can play.

And West.

Celtics handling Sixers
End of 2nd quarter
39 - 28
Celtics lead series 2-1

San Antonio is hammering OKC in the 1st quarter.
This SA team might be my favorite of all time if they can can keep it going.
Tim Duncan is one helluva power forward.
But with SA it's about the team.

This is team basketball at its finest.

Popovich is by far the greatest coach in the NBA right now.

Tony Parker is too much to handle... and has a great supporting cast with plenty of depth.

Manu Ginobili, well, no matter who's guarding him... he will get his 15-25 points a game. The guy is just too damn crafty.

Tim Duncan... what else can be said about him. Despite having an off night on the offensive end... the rest of the team easily got it done without him.

Celtics v. Heat
Game 4

58 - 40 Celtics
2:30 left 2nd Q

Really Oklahoma Traitors are up in the first quarter 20-19 game 5.

SA is having has been having much trouble with the Okies.
Don't know if SA can pull it off.

When SA can get into the paint and score, everything else seems to comes together for them.

I know they're the "Traitors" and all... but I'm still pullin' for KD, Nick Collison and Scotty Brooks. After all, they didn't have any say in the team leaving.

Plus... as good as they are... I can't stand San Antonio!

Go Thunder!

Kind of nice to see the Thunder crumble, I doubt they will win three in a row.

They're toast.
They can't get those critical stops. In crunch time, the Heat either score or get fouled.

Teams are 0-30 when down 3-1....toast!

?

and the Dolphucks will suck again this year... get over it..

Here we go.

Sonics curse Miami wins!!!

Too many holes in the dike for the Thunder to manage.
Right now, it's looking like paw-tee in South Beach tonight.

It's a butt rape.

First one to a hundred wins!

SUCK IT OKC !!!!!! OVVVVVVVVVVVVVER !!!!!

"If this were a heavy-weight fight, they'd stop it."

FCK Clay Bennett....sonics curse!!! laffin' FCK the dullfins too
