holy shit ron artest

saw that coming

i knew Ron would pull it off....i had faith in his offensive ability.

Wow, Suns did great on the inbound defense and then just stood there once the shot went.

how is that luck, exactly? He was running to get a potential rebound, caught the ball, and put it back in.

board

some black man on ESPN said it was luck

I'm inclined to believe him

thats not anymore lucky than J. Rich banking a hard left three

Dear J-Rich,

REALLY? BOX OUT. YOU EVER HEAD OF THAT SHIT?

Kisses,

Planet Orange

Ron Artest couldn't make anything, but yet he can somehow make that.

That was a hard fuckin shot.

That was lucky.

Kinda h8 both these teams but "damn".

awesome game...Lakers blew some big plays, but so did the Suns. This series isnt over, far from it. The Suns fought back tooth and nail

Next game should be interesting...hell, they might even call a travel on Steve Nash once in the game.

This is all I ever wanted to hear from a Lakers fan.

Lakers in 6

Crazy game lol. Artest comes through FINALLY

Just like they MIGHT call an Over the Back on Gasshole and Scrodom?

Gasshole and Scrodom....god damn you come off immature at times. With SammyG gone, you pretty much stand out here. Congrats Wadding, no longer are you runner up for 'dbag basketball fan'.

lol. Love Lakers ability to blow such a huge lead.

Careful. He might come back with his ace in the hole; a Kobe/rapist "joke"

Wadding's user title is hilarious.

Honestly, if you think I'm a dbag, you haven't looked in the mirror lately.

I dunno, avocado's posts have been mostly solid analysis/opinion. No name-calling.

did Sammy get banned or something?

oh ok, he's peacin

just read on the ticker on ESPN that Lebron, Wade and Joe Johnson are going to talk to each other first before deciding what to do.

Richardson hitting that 3 pointer was one of my biggest mark out moments ever. But that was a shitty ending.

Wadding thinks anyone who isnt a fan of whatever franchise he is is a dbag. Ive never once heard that dude say anything even remotely intelligent when it comes to basketball analysis

Kobe fucking Bryant

Game 1: 40 pts/5 rebs/5 asts/1 stl on 13-23, 3-6 from three
Game 2: 21 pts/13 asts/5 rebs on 8-18
Game 3: 36 pts/11 asts/9 rebs on 13-24
Game 4: 38 pts/10 asts/7 rebs on 15-22,6-9 from three
Game 5: 30 pts/11 asts/9 rebs/4 blks on 12-27,4-10 from three

the real "king"

Well the "king" is gettin ready to have a meeting with Wade, Johnson, and Bosh, Bryant is winning games in the playoffs. Suck it LBJ.

Why is everybody so hostile towards Lebron James?

I'm not, I just think it gets tiring hearing how great he is, and how he's the best, when he hasn't won anything yet. Yeah he's been to the finals, and then got swept.

Simple answer is he was anointed the next Jordan by ESPN and others before he even stepped onto an NBA court and then kept over-hyping him before he had a chance to earn that title. Last year's playoff hype was horrible since ESPN and Nike kept pushing for a Lebron-Kobe Finals match-up even though the year before the NBA had their best ratings Finals of the 2000s (Celtics v Lakers).

It took Jordan until he beat the Pistons in 1990/91 to earn the title of superstar/great player and by then his NBA career was about 6-7 years.

People sing the praises of Kobe non-stop everyday all the time as well. The Lebron thing has never really bothered me, I dunno. He is going to be one of the greatest of all time, I just don't see the issue here.

lol there it is

Am I supposed to ignore that and only focus on Lebron enthusiasts because they annoy you? Come on now...

its the fact that he is praised for essentially accomplishing nothing. He's praised as the next coming of Jordan and the savior of (insert franchise here), when he is just a physically gifted athlete. Like i said in an earlier post, his scoring and assists come from him driving the basket, not from him making Steve Nash type passes and Ray Allen type shooting.
