I've done this type of thing a few times too. Not saying it's right, but at the same time, it's an understandable response, and blowing it way out of proportion like this is ridiculous.

**SammyG** · 06-02-2009, 03:35 PM

Stern might fine him he just said.

also Nelson practiced today apparently and looked amazing. Fuck. Dude carved us up.

**Loose Cannon** · 06-02-2009, 04:45 PM

sweet. hopefully he plays some minutes

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-02-2009, 06:24 PM

I think it's dumb he just bounced. I am competitive as anyone else but I still don't see that as excuse, it's poor sportsmanship. His reasoning was garbage too, surprised his PR people couldn't come up with something better than that.

It's tradition in the NBA to give respect at the end of a series, even in series where there's issues you still see dudes (like Kobe/Artest) at least shaking each other's hands at the completion of the series. I don't call when he did competitive, I think it's sour grapes and just being salty. Don't really think they need to make this big of a deal of it though, but LeBron's very popular so they want to keep him in the sporting news.

**SammyG** · 06-02-2009, 07:19 PM

If Nelson starts, I dunno about this series. He is seriously amazing.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-02-2009, 09:10 PM

Nelson isn't gonna be ready to play

**Juan** · 06-02-2009, 10:00 PM

Even if Nelson plays, no way he'll be the same player he was in the regular season. You just can't insert someone back in after an injury and expect them to perform at the level they did before the injury.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-02-2009, 10:37 PM

That's what I meant, he might suit and play a bit but he's not gonna be ready to contribute very much I don't think. He hasn't played in a game since what February?

**Juan** · 06-02-2009, 10:51 PM

Yeah February.

**SammyG** · 06-02-2009, 11:21 PM

He is still insanely good but yeah you guys are right.

He's not insanely good. WTF . Such a Laker fan comment right there.

I really hope the Lakers lose so every dumb Laker fan will kill themselves.

If i was Lebron and Stern fined me for that junk , i'd go on television and tell David Stern he can go fuck himself. And what will Stern do? Seriously? Lebron is the guy Stern is banking on for the next 15 years.

Lebron > Stern

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-03-2009, 12:50 AM

Only made the All-Star team this year so the Magic could have another player since they had such a good record. Still a pretty good player though, like 15 & 5 a night - insanely good is a little much.

**SammyG** · 06-03-2009, 01:38 AM

I know that when he played against LA he could not miss a shot and averaged like 27.5 points. If you are a good slasher, and Derek Fisher is guarding you, you're insanely good. Derek Fisher is worse at defense than Steve Nash.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-03-2009, 01:45 AM

Yeah Aaron Brooks definitely displayed that for the whole World to see. Really hope Nelson can contribute but I highly doubt it.

**SammyG** · 06-03-2009, 01:56 AM

WASHINGTON -- OK, Mr. President, let's see how you do picking the pro game.

Barack Obama was on his way to the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn on Tuesday when a reporter shouted a question. The topic: Who is going to win the NBA championship, the Los Angeles Lakers or the Orlando Magic?

Said the smiling president of the best-of-seven series: "Lakers in six, I think." The series begins Thursday.

So far so good this year for Obama. A huge basketball fan, he correctly predicted that that the University of North Carolina men's basketball team would win the NCAA championship.

Obama was leaving Tuesday for an overnight trip to the Middle East.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-04-2009, 01:38 AM

Luckily he didn't fill out a NBA playoff bracket though, haven't had it shoved down my throat by ESPN like his NCAA bracket

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-04-2009, 02:26 PM

Just heard Nelson isn't playing tonight

**SammyG** · 06-04-2009, 03:05 PM

lol come on @ that video.

Also yeah, Nelson out, sweet.

**McLegend** · 06-04-2009, 11:22 PM

This series has potential to suck.

**Juan** · 06-04-2009, 11:23 PM

NO MERCY

**SammyG** · 06-04-2009, 11:50 PM

1. LeBron fined 25,000 dollars.

2. MAMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

**Testicle** · 06-05-2009, 12:04 AM

Kobe is definitly wining this one, first without shaq.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-05-2009, 12:33 AM

Wow, only positive is that the Magic went ice cold from 3 so they can maybe have a shot if they get hot? Doubtful though

**HeartBreakMan2k** · 06-05-2009, 12:49 AM

Unreal. I haven't seen the Magic play that poorly in a while. Absolutely frozen for 3 straight quarters. LA's length seemed to be a nightmare for them. I still have faith but wow, terrible game for them.

**SammyG** · 06-05-2009, 03:18 AM

RP · 06-05-2009, 07:36 AM

You want your balls licked by Kobe Bryant dont you Sammy? I bet that wouldnt even be a tad bit awkward to you.

**Loose Cannon** · 06-05-2009, 09:48 AM

yea, I was thinking all throughout the Cleveland series that if the Magic make it they were going to go cold for the first few games or so against LA. I've seen it happen so many times.

Look, the Magic are going to live and die at the 3 point line. That's thier series. They knock down 3's, they create opportunities for Howard inside. They don't knock those down, it's going to be a quick series. Also, Orlando has a lot of problems crashing the boards right now. They don't seem to be a gritty team like the Rockets, so they are going to have to make up for that as well.

Even if they do get hot from 3, they gotta do something about the paint, they are getting crushed on the inside.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-06-2009, 01:52 PM

Yeah after I posted that I was surprised to find out they shot 35% from 3 and just 30% overall. I really don't know what they are going to do to win this series, need Howard and Lewis (especially Lewis) to really step up their scoring.

**SammyG** · 06-06-2009, 02:36 PM

I think the only real question is whether the Lakers will sweep, or win in 5... It'd be kinda gay to win it in Orlando though...

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-06-2009, 03:52 PM

Really hope Orlando wins game 2 now just to see your over dramatic reaction lol

**SammyG** · 06-06-2009, 03:55 PM

lol not gonna happen

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-06-2009, 11:26 PM

They got blown out in a game in the Boston series too, anything can happen.

**Skippord** · 06-07-2009, 04:25 AM

god I fucking hate that stupid look Kobe does

it's irritating beyond belief

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 06-07-2009, 03:15 PM

One of the best players in the NBA and dude has no swag at all
