Haha I was actually there...visiting from near Chicago. Sat really close to this, didn't see anything bad by Amare. Seeing the replay, he just barely touched his back before the dunk. He sure was taken off the court pretty quick.

Rip on Milwaukee all you want...but I've been to a ton of Bulls games (post MJ) a Pistons game, Magic game and Pacers game...and Bucks fans by far were the most passionate and fun...and some loud Amare rippers admitted there was no foul...but just liked having fun with it.

Stupid Lakers. Pick and roll defense was terrible, mad props to Manu though.

Crazy 4th Quarter during Cavs-Celtics game. Celtics had a bad quarter in the 2nd half and managed to lose a 22 point lead but unlike the Cavs, never lost their mindset and won.

3 Technical Fouls by the Cavs and almost a brawl between KG and Lebron for no real reason during the 4th.

Grrrrrrrrr....

lol this K-Mart stuff is hilarious

pretty shitty prank but come on bro

Celts/Cavs game on Sunday got me looking forward to the playoffs big time.

Probably could be in a NBA Offseason thread, but...

Bosh is done for the season. Will this affect where he ultimately ends?

It actually makes me think that he is more apt to go to a proven contender now, rather than a paycheck. I'm leaning towards the Nugs or Suns; where before, I thought he or Joe John were going to end wherever Wade or Bron end up.

Thoughts?

oh yay...i love Derek Fisher. Such wonderful decision making as a point guard, such an accurate shooter.


Fuck you D.Fish. Go away.

I fucking hate that fucking old piece of shit

I was totally expecting this team to get blown out without Kobe and with the way they've been playing lately.

Artest played great, Pau did alright, Machine came in and hit a couple nice shots. Brown needs to stop being such a chucker. Powell is useless. FUCK YOU FISHER

Odom was the key tonight, completely nonexistant.

I wont lose hope until they're actually eliminated/if they're eliminated

Hurray, another awesome play by Derek Fisher, another notch in the loss column.

wtf was that???

Derek Fisher can honestly fuck off and die. Congrats Cavs on winning the championship.

Wow fuck the Sixers for winning last night

Stop saying shit like this and then jumping back on the bandwagon a few days later. Make up your mind, chump.

his incredible defense on Andre Miller was amazing as well. Derek Fisher needs to go away.

Look, you short fat Mexican wrestling mark. I'm always a Laker fan. I just don't see the fire that the team had last year. Losing to a depleted 8 seed at home is pathetic. Don't tell me to make up my mind. Go back to your local Taco Bell and don't even attempt to talk to me.

:yes::yes::yes::yes:

ROFL

wow, get defensive much?? I wasn't even trying to "flame" you lol. Way to flip out.

btw, props on calling someone on a wrestling message board a wrestling mark. Top notch, stuff, sammy.

stfu....you....mexican!

Has Phil lost it? He said that last play was designed for Pau to take a three. WOWWW

Pau used to be able to knock 'em down in the spanish league, but i highly doubt he practices them nowadays

confine this talk to the LA Lakers thread plz

If the Cavaliers win this year and then the Cowboys win the Superbowl or something I think it means the apocalypse has come.

Why?

Duke and UNC win basketball
Penguins win Stanley Cup
Yankees and Phillies win WS (I get that not everybody hates Philadelphia for some reason, but still)
Lakers

All the huge "heel"/fucking asshole teams have been winning championships in the last two years.

Cavs are not an asshole team.

yes they are

No they aren't you bastards.

You Juan are only saying that, because you hate the best basketball player in the world not named Kevin Durant.

He's not the only reason I don't like that team. They act like a bunch of clowns on the sidelines.

In order to be an asshole team you have to have a long history of winning, and a long line of really good to great players.

Cleveland does not have that. They have 1 possible transcendent player(Lebron), and a few other players who really good( Mark Price and Brad Daugherty to name 2).

They have been good for like 2 periods of time. The Mark Price years and Lebron years. They also don't have enough fans to qualify for the asshole status yet.

Well, they're an asshole team to me. Is that ok with you, McLegend???

No, tool. Cleveland is fine. It's Boston that has the asshole team, and Denver.

So I can't dislike them?

Disliking them is fine especially since they have a mini-feud. You just can't lump them in with the Yankees, Lakers, Celtics, or any other team like that.

What if the fan base is full of assholes but the team itself never has been good or had success for long enough, would the team/city still be considered for "ass" status?

I'd say Boston qualifies as the asshole team in this day and age. The nuggets have only one real asshole, but boy, is it a huge gaping asshole (k-mart)

Umm.. Birdman.... JR Smith...

Birdman? LOL. Why, because he has tattoos?

because he has gotten suspended for violating the substance abuse policy. My guess is meth. Dude totally looks lilke a meth head.

lol, i dont think the birdman comes off as an asshole though. Dahntey Jones struck me as a big asshole when he played for the Nugs.

So if you struggle with some sort of addiction that makes you an asshole? Birdman is a good dude who has overcome a bunch of obstacles to be where he is today.

I just don't like the Nuggets very much.

Chauncey is ok tho

Yeah, like the inability to make dunks.

I hate the pacers so bad right now. They've won 12 of the last 18 games. Think about that for a second. If they hadnt lost Granger for like 4 weeks, they might have made the playoffs.

But think about if they started the season 12-4...

Anyways, we're drafting a white guy with the 10-13 lottery pick we get. Guaranteed. Yay Cole Aldrich!

I'm going to say no, because you have to cover all basis to get into that "elite" status.

Is there any specific team you are talking about?

Only one I could think of without really thinking would be the Oakland Raiders in the NFL but that would be because of the owner and the die hard fans more than the team itself.

Al Davis is the devil

Chris Andersen is the nicest man alive you jerkoffs

Not gonna lie. Terrified of playing the Thunder. this will go 6 if not 7

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GREASY FUCKING GREEK! Your house probably smells like greek food.

Um. No? Cuz I don't cook greek food here? Plus, I am not greasy. I always smell amazing :) Go fuck yourself now? cool.

Zombie Sonics are so underrated.

How about the Philadelphia Flyers who have won a total of 2 Stanley Cups in their 40+ year history and don't have any great players on their team right now, yet are regarded throughout the league as the biggest bunch of assholes there is (aside from Penguins). They don't have to be that good, they just have dirty pieces of shit like Carcillo and Hartnell who make everyone hate the team and have the nastiest fans in the league.

The Flyers are not an asshole team, because they are choking dogs. IF they can someone win the Cup then they probably become on that status.

homer detected

lol I don't care about hockey.

Did anyone just watch The Allen Iverson documentary on ESPN?

I recommend you watch it if you haven't.

:wave: Skippord

I am honestly hoping to face the Evil Empire the entire series

Spurs->Mavs->Lakers


But I definitly want the Spurs

I'd love to play the Suns.

I'm blaming any failures the Nuggets have ever on JR Smith

praying for a suns win, spurs win, and portland loss

I'm not even going to watch. I have so much faith that the NBA will rig it proper for a Suns/Spurs round 1 matchup

Sad part about that idea is only a few years ago that would have been "rigged" to be a round 2/conference finals matchup. Then again NBA did change their whole playoff standings a few years ago just to get the mouthwatering matches for certain rounds (assuming no upsets).

Go back to 5 games for the 1st rounds ..The way it is now is retarded. Not the 7 games but the scheduling. Like 2 games a week, they play 1 day /2days off..play the next game dayoff,,play 3rd..2 MORE DAYS OFF..ridiculous

I'm really upset that The Sixers season is over.

damn i feel bad for the Bucks. I love the Hawks though, big fan of their players and style of play.

Man KG is still a bitch.

love the Nuggets. so bad ass.

awesome game thus far

wtf, the Nuggets are such douchebags. And KG... wow.

I actually think the Lakers will win this series in 5. I just think the Thunder are too young to beat the Lakers or even take them to 6/7 games.

I also think Durant is going to have a rough series.

KG has always been a bitch who barks and throws cheap shots but bitches out when gets stepped to. The Lakers/Thunder series is size v. speed, which means the Thunder needs to get on the break alot. Lakers in 5.

Q Richardson admitted to saying the only reason he went over to where Pierce fell was to tell KG that Pierce was faking it. Its also why when the tech's were handed out he started to smile when KG got his 2nd tech.

"He started to talk to me, so I talked back," Richardson said. "I don't have any business talking to [Pierce], he was on the ground crying. I don't know what was going on, two actresses over there, that's what they are."

Meh, not an impressive win. Looked like the defending champs for a quarter, but that was it. Gotta step it up.

Way too easy to photoshop a cock in that pic

Great defense by Portland

lol, Air Camby!

I'd say Nash rushed that one abit. I know dude is clutch from beyond, but two dudes who are a foot taller than you contesting your shot a foot behind the arc? Testing your clutch just abit.

The fact that it even got to that point late in the game is amazing. I like their chances in late game situations.

are you referring to the Blazers without their all-star? Or the healthy Suns?

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Suns. WAAADDING SHOWW

I'm saying they almost blew a 6 point lead with 30 seconds left. A few times. I now feel confident the suns can win in late game situations (even though they didn't tonight)

And I'm just saying the Roy-less Blazers beat the Suns at home in a playoff game.

It's one game. Don't expect me to go all SammyG in here and try to kill myself over it.

I wouldn't know what losing a Game 1 is, sorry.

You would know how to lose 4 out of 7 to the Suns.

Twice.

considering those Laker teams were pretty piss poor (Kwame and Smush starting!) and they also pushed the Suns to the brink, i'd say they have a history of struggling against teams they should walk over. That being said, im not so sure the Suns will have the easy time they thought they would against the Blazers.

alright your teams aren't even playing each other

shut the fuck up and wait for a time when they do

Skippord, you're teams? You are teams? Are we teams? Come on. YOUR teams.

IT WAS LATE, GET OFF MY BACK
