I don't remember the last time I payed attention to the NBA this season.
I'm with you if that happens. It'd be a joy to rub that into the faces of all the Lakers band-wagoners in LA. Even my 80 yr old Grandma is a Lakers fan now. It's sickening.
there are no sports fans in LA
Sorry, Cleveland has to win a title. It's their first real chance in 30+ and might be their last for another 30 (until the city crumbles and all the franchises move away).
Let us have our one moment.

Pretty easy. You don't get a free pass for choosing to follow a team only if they're winning because you live in the hometown. That's what separates the real fans from BANDWAGON fans.That's why Detroit Lions fans are as
yeah miller gets all bitchy, gaf responds "omg lebron is soooooo babied"
Why shouldn't they?
Aside from the fact that Kobe is a fucking dick, he's simply nowhere as good as they think he is. The majority of Lakers fans in LA truly believe that Kobe is the greatest player ever. Yeah, he's good but objective analysis shows that he's clearly a tier below Jordan, Lebron and even several Lakers greats.

Putting Jordan and Lebron in the same tier. SMH.
Also, Jerry West-led teams went to the Finals like nine times. Stick to medicine, dude.
I'd be down with the Cavs winning a title if it weren't for Lebron. :yuck
People say Kobe is arrogant, but Bron takes it to a whole different level. With Kobe it's all about the game. Bron has stupid gimmicks like throwing powder into the air, and comments like wanting to be the first billionaire athlete, or "If I can't wear #23, no one should." Shit like that just makes me really want to see him go ringless.
I'd rather see fucking Carmelo Anthony lead his team to a title.

You can go back and forth on that issue all day, but at the end of the day, Kobe has been convicted of rape as many times as you or I have (not sure about Ichirou).

Furthermore, Kobe led all three of those title-winning teams in assists. So much for your "not-passing the ball" theory. Go read up on the triangle offense when you have a minute, and let me know if you come across any examples of a single player racking up huge assist averages in that offense.

As of now, Kobe has the better career, and that's pretty much indisputable.

Who was his main competition? Shaq? Fisher, who Laker fans have bashed--rightfully so--for over a decade?
It's not as if Kobe doesn't touch the ball a lot in the triangle offense. He has been in the top three in usage rate seven times.
Has a great point guard ever played in a triangle offense (outside of Phil Jackson, who has used the triangle offense in its entirety for any significant length of time)? This might explain why no one has racked up huge assists in a triangle offense (clearly, a ball-dominant point guard would not like the triangle offense).

I have a major request. I really wanna watch the NBA. But there's no channels that actually show it here ( let alone the fact that I have no Cable). What's the best way for a Euro to get into this sport? It's always been the one sport I actually wanted to get into, but was unattainable due to circumstance.
You can go back and forth on the issue all day, but OJ Simpson has been convicted of murder as many times I have.False equivalence and you know it. There was a great deal of evidence linking OJ to the murder, plus that hours-long car chase before charges were ever filed. The Kate Faber case was purely a he-said/she-said thing, with the defense downright embarrassing the prosecution in every pre-trial hearing.
So a 31 year-old has had a better career than a 25 year-old? Awesome?Yes, furthermore, Kobe had also accomplished more at age 25 (three titles) than Lebron has any chance of doing until he's 27. I know he played with Shaq. :patel

Damn, Greeny just got annihilated by Malek's LSAT logic.
Not sure what you're getting at here. Are you saying that Kobe should have more assists? He's a shooting guard, and furthermore, he consistently ranks as one of the top shooting guards in this category. And no, I can't think of any great point guards who have played in the triangle aside from Gary Payton, who was clearly over the hill when he got to the Lakers in 03-04. His assists dropped precipitously that season however, from 8.8 to 5.5 per game in only 6 fewer minutes. Incidentally, Jordan's assists per game also dropped once Phil Jackson became the Bulls' coach, from a high of 8.0 per game in 88-89 to 6.3 in Jackson's first year as head coach, and soon settled into an average of about 5.5 assists per game.
I'm not saying that Kobe would put up Lebron-like assist numbers in a regular offense, but saying he doesn't pass is ignorant. He has ball-hog moments, but anyone who watches Lakers games consistently can see that he passes a lot. But if you're trying to make this into a Kobe vs Lebron thing, then I'll concede now that Lebron is a better passer and just say that Kobe's passing is underrated by those who don't watch the Lakers regularly.

Also, etiolate, you need to go back and look at Pippen's assist numbers. Here's a career stats page for him:
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/scottie_pippen/career_stats.html (http://www.nba.com/playerfile/scottie_pippen/career_stats.html)
His numbers in that category were barely better than Kobe's.
In the triangle there is no main distributor; everyone is a distributor. That's the whole point of the offense. This doesn't need to be a big deal. I'm just stating facts.

Dirk is such a stud
malek, hook a brother up with a link to the game. I'm in the library, I feel lost without my favorites file :(
Kobe paid out a big sum of money and issued a public apology long after everyone knew of the incident. Why do that if it were really an affair and not a rape? You don't have to be a Kobe hater to smell that something's not right.
Because his time is worth more than the cost of the settlement. Even if he paid her a million, that's a drop in the bucket to someone who makes $20m a year. Not having to fly back and forth to Denver for a long, drawn-out trial is easily worth that, even if he was 100% certain to be acquitted (which is likely). Especially for a guy who takes his training as seriously as Bryant does.
For 5% of your annual paycheck, the whole thing goes away. You'd be an idiot not to settle.
You could just as easily ask "If she was really raped, why did she settle?
Mark David Chapman brought Catcher in the Rye back to the forefront of literary discussion. Good on him.:lol
Yeah, but Jordan was reffed in a way that hardly any player was allowed to play real D on him. Kobe/Lebron get that sort of treatment, but nobody has had it to the level MJ had. If you tried to force him into something he didn't want, there would just be a phantom whistle. If he was having an off shooting night then there would be a phantom whistle.
At least Durant shut up all the people calling him overrated. That's all I was hearing on the radio show while driving home. SMH, LA fans say the stupidest things.
Kobe's not even MVP of his own team.

They're idiots. Who cares.
Tonight is a pretty big game. I fully expect the Lakers to win the next 2 games and close out the series but you know there will be a lot of tension and excitement even for an LA crowd.
I had a funny thought as I was watching a couple of games last night. It was that this is the best the NBA has been since the mid and late 80's when you had Jordan come in and still the old guard established stars like Bird and Magic. etc around. It really has been a renaissance. Team play still isn't as good as it was but you have the highest amount of legit superstars playing that I can remember in awhile.
They even shoot legit FG%'s which is always a good shorthand barometer for the quality of the game.
One of these years my Blazers are going to do something more than first round. It will be a year they don't have 300+ combined missed games due to injuries. I guess it makes sense Brandon is playing even though he's not 100% because, fuck it, he has the off season to recover.
Yeah, it's a lot to ask of a young team to go to Staples and kick ass when everyone thinks they've exceeded expectations already. The crowd obviously buoyed them a lot in gms 3 and 4. Who knows, though - they could rebound in gm 5 with their backs to the wall.
Dirk is a loser and will never win anything in the NBA. He doesn't dominate when his team needs him to.
I've always said the Mavericks are just an incorrectly built team for the playoffs. Cuban spends a lot of money but they haven't been able to assemble a proper squad that works for playoff basketball. They are an entertaining squad but not a high percentage basketball squad.
Tyreke Evans is very talented, and deserves the ROY, but I honestly can't see any team built around him being all that successful. He needs the ball in his hands all the time to win, so the ceiling would appear to be the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers. I say all this as a former Kings fan. Maybe he becomes a Wade-type talent and proves me wrong but I'm not all that optimistic. At the very least, he needs a lot more help than he has right now.

Didn't Dirk score 25 points in the second half of an elimination game? He averaged 27/8/3 for the series while shooting 55% from the floor.
Honestly, Who played better: Dirk's cast or Duncan's? If Dirk shot 48% from the freethrow line, he'd never hear the end of it.

I think the Magic almost have to blow out everyone to win in these playoffs. I don't see anyone on that team that can finish out a close game for them.

Expanding on Cormac's post, did you watch any of the Eastern Conference Finals last year when they played the Cavs? The first few games were exceedingly close, and the Magic would win with clutch threes from Pietrus, Lewis, and Turkeyglue. They aren't that much different this year, only TurkeyGlue is gone and Vince Carter has been great in sealing the deal so far this playoff season.
I never thought I would see anyone better than Jordan, but Lebron is fucking amazing. He just needs 6 rings to prove it to me.
Rondo
27 pts 18 Rebs 13 Ast 2 stl
:bow2
Lebron had that "amazing" game but really a human can only be so focused only so much. It seems he expends all this emotional and physical energy in having these "statement" games (where he takes over) like the last one and then he'll have something like this: he plays a decent game but nothing too great.
He needs to be consistently good over three games, not great/decent/great. Stop being such a media panderer (its great to watch but you have to think how many crazy athletic plays he can do in such a short time) and learn to play a consistent game like Kobe or Wade. I think it would put less stress on his body and let him have energy for a big play whenever he needs it.
what did LeBron end up with, 24-8-8, something like that? If Derek Rose had a line like that, it would lead ESPN.

You're letting your Lakers hate blind you. You can book the Lakers in the finals already. And honestly if the Cavs keep playing the way they have I favor the Lakers if the Cavs even get that far.
Celtics are just a better defensive team, period. Unless the Cavs shoot the lights out the next two games, this one is done.
Well, they are now. For most of the season, they were horrible and the Cavs were much better. This must be shocking to Cavs fans. Mo Williams campaigning for an All-Star spot gets more :lol-worthy every day

This just highlights why the NBA sucks - nobody plays during the regular season anymore. Veterans freely admit they don't "try" until the playoffs.
I'll take the NBA over coma inducing baseball any day of the week.
Well, the teams on the bubble try, but generally I agree about the effort level. Most players are only roused by a personal rivalry or the chance to steal a march on a division rival etc. I'm still plenty entertained during the regular season, even though there are far too many games.
As for the Knicks, why on God's green Earth would Lebron go to a terrible team that will absolutely need another two years to rebuild around Lebronhttp://nymag.com/news/sports/lebron/
Cleveland has a lot to offer.

Cold Blooded.

:bow Suns V. Magic :bow2
And wait another two or three years before the team can be in contention? Nah, he has a much better chance staying in Cleveland or going to Miami.Lebron and Wade on the same team? ???
It would be foolish in my opinion for Lebron to stay with Cleveland. Hook up with another superstar and head to New York.

But yeah, Noah and Rose and Lebron together could prove to be pretty unstoppable.
If by chance Lebron leaves Cleveland, I just hope they can secure a top free agent to try and replace him. Maybe Wade. I would hate to have to root for my Cavs with Mo Williams as their leader :-\
Stoney is right. LeBron needs a team that is committed to winning a championship, which means getting better players around him, pure and simple. Hate the Lakers all you want, but Jerry Buss knows how to build championship teams.

The Phoenix Suns have reacted with a collective smirk to Phil Jackson's suggestion that Steve Nash travels with the basketball.
"It's news to me. I'm fortunate. I don't know if I've been called for a carry yet," he said after the Suns practiced Saturday, then he added straight-faced: "I've never heard anyone accuse me of carrying it. I mean, the best coach in the league Gregg Popovich [of San Antonio] didn't have a problem with it last week."
Last year, his lob play to Courtney Lee was almost perfect except for the Courtney Lee part.:lol
I don't know what the number one pick means for the Wiz. I'm not sure I care anymore. The thrill is gone.
The refs suck but they haven't doomed the Suns. Poor defense and a reliance on jump shots has.
NBA playoffs suck
Blame the AAU and NCAA also. Not enough coaching in the former and too much coaching in the latter. Both are terrible in grooming players to be pros.
Yeah I take back everything good I might have said about the NBA. NCAA wins. I think that Bulls/Celtics series from last year had me believing that maybe the new generation of teams wasn't totally hopeless, but that's clearly not the case.NBA playoffs suckCompletely agree. Fuck seven game series early.
Gotta give props to the Suns and the Magic. I still skeptical either team will their series but neither just layed down and died like I expected.

Damn Lakers. Stern got his wish again with this matchup.
Good job NBA, way to have the two teams I hate the most in the Finals :-\
The 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings presents a stunning example of game and series manipulation at its ugliest. As the teams prepared for Game 6 at the Staples Center, Sacramento had a 3–2 lead in the series. The referees assigned to work Game 6 were Dick Bavetta, Bob Delaney, and Ted Bernhardt. As soon as the referees for the game were chosen, the rest of us knew immediately that there would be a Game 7. A prolonged series was good for the league, good for the networks, and good for the game. Oh, and one more thing: it was great for the big-market, star-studded Los Angeles Lakers.
In the pregame meeting prior to Game 6, the league office sent down word that certain calls — calls that would have benefitted the Lakers — were being missed by the referees. This was the type of not-so-subtle information that I and other referees were left to interpret. After receiving the dispatch, Bavetta openly talked about the fact that the league wanted a Game 7.
"If we give the benefit of the calls to the team that's down in the series, nobody's going to complain. The series will be even at three apiece, and then the better team can win Game 7," Bavetta stated.
As history shows, Sacramento lost Game 6 in a wild come-from-behind thriller that saw the Lakers repeatedly sent to the foul line by the referees. For other NBA referees watching the game on television, it was a shameful performance by Bavetta's crew, one of the most poorly officiated games of all time.
The 2002 series certainly wasn't the first or last time Bavetta weighed in on an important game. He also worked Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers. The Lakers were down by 13 at the start of the fourth quarter when Bavetta went to work. The Lakers outscored Portland 31–13 in the fourth quarter and went on to win the game and the series. It certainly didn't hurt the Lakers that they got to shoot 37 free throws compared to a paltry 16 for the Trail Blazers.

2. Change the salary structure. “The current system limits the salaries of the few legitimate superstars but raises the salaries of average players,” agent David Falk declares. “We’v e created almost a socialistic state in the NBA, robbing from the stars to pay the average players. We also have to stop paying the replaceable players big money. When role players think they are stars, they won’t play hard. If you paid your secretary $750,000 a year, do you think she’d still get you coffee?”
Garnett!Yeah, that was surprising. Lets see if he can keep it up.
:teehee
Amazing Boston bench performance.
Good to see Nate Robinson get a good amount of playing time. I liked his crazy ass since he was on the Knicks. They can't expect to play Rondo most of the game every night.

Why was everyone so upset at Nate's reaction to Odom's foul, which easily could have been considered flagarant? Odom literally body-slammed him. Nate being pissed off was completely understandable.

Rondo and Ray Allen really did in the Celtics. Rondo was the big advantage they had in this series and he just didn't play at the level needed consistently. Ray had that early great game and then just fell apart the rest of the way.
There was a sequence where KG got fouled going straight to the rim and it was ruled a clean block by Gasol and on the other end Gasol shoots a fadeaway and gets a phantom +1.
Because they didn't play a more physical game. Both teams were brutally physical from the start. Garnett and Rasheed were battling inside as well. They were just outsized often and Kobe + Artest helped on the boards more than Rayray was helping KG. The board difference wasn't for lack of going inside, but for lack of size.
