4-18
6-22

Not great numbers but he did hit the game winner in the first one.


You see Chris Pauls last game? 7-14 FG, 2-4 3pt, 11-11 FT, 13 Reb, 15 Ast, 27 Pts...


No doubt he won't stay in new orleans... but this guy is a dream to watch.

Until this playoff series Paul was a shell of his former self.Its nice he's had a good season and a great playoff but it doesnt equal the season a 21 year old Derrick Rose is having leading his team to a better record than two veteran teams in the heat and Celts.I know the Hornets have nobody to help Paul but how much talent do the Bulls really have?Noah is overrated and a hustle guy but thats it.Boozer and Deng are good not great and I swear I saw 70 year old Kurt Thomas getting minutes.Bottom line is Rose is having the better season by far with a little better talent and he's 5 years younger that Paul.

Great article about how the Maloof brothers who were born on third but turned out to be idiots(despite being rich) are screwing a whole city over.

I'm leaving soon to go get drunk as shit and watch Barcelona play Leemans home town team Real Madrid but I will leave you with this....If the Sixers win tonight they win the series.You heard it hear first.

Do you think the NBA wanted to make sure New Orleans had 3 home games vs the Lakers in the playoffs?

[BIRD33]

Nope.The NBA doesnt need the hornets having a chance at beating the lakers in a series.Would kill ratings.

[Anhil8tor]

Hornets have no shot... But 3 home games for a team they are trying to sell vs one of the highest profile franchises really helps...

They sold out all home games...

[BIRD33]

Read that bill simmons article on the Kings.The hornets are basically on welfare with the league watching over them.Once Chris Paul decides to leave they will move.I read that pistol pete book and it talked about his first years in the NBA with the New Orleans Jazz and even with him being the Jesus Christ of Louisiana basketball they couldnt draw well.I hope they move to Seattle and bring back the Sonics.

Heat in 6 over the Celtics.

The heat basically toyed with the sixers which is not going to be possible with the Celts.However the celts lack of a center is a big problem.

The sixers embarrassed themselves after playing a good series by waiting like little puppy dogs to get their head scratched by Lebron James and Dwayne Wade after the game.You would have thought they were getting autographs.Igudala embarrassed himself when they asked if he thinks he'll be in Philly next year and he answered that he looks forward to climbing the sixers record books along with other sixer greats like Wilt and doctor J.Excuse me?Fucking idiot.

However the celts lack of a center is a big problem.

why?

[BIRD33]

why?

Because as you saw yesterday the middle is wide fucking open for Lebron or Wade to drive.How many times did Lebron hover around the 3 point line to draw the D out then take it to the hoop for a shot or pass to a wide open guy?If you had a real center that wouldnt happen.

Your other real problem is Rondo.Can't shoot, don't want to shoot = can't win.He's a fucking mess out there.10 cent brain, yo.

You will not see anything better than this:
Celts vs Chicago in the East Finals

Oklahoma City vs Dallas in West Finals

Yeah 3 out of 4.


How'd you do bird?

[BIRD33]

Missed Dallas.You're a real fucking guru.

I can't remember who called the heat over the Celts 6 months ago.Oh thats right it was me.Where the fuck is that thread?

[BIRD33]

I don't understand how JJ Barea can be allowed to get to the hoop.Its a fucking joke.Is the pick and roll a new concept for the Thunder?Take the 10th man on the bench and send him out there to put him on his ass hard 6 times.No Artest flagrants but hard fouls that get him thinking rather then the easy fucking lay ups.Also Durant has to cover Dirk.Its not like Ibaka is doing anything.You want to be the best player in the league, guard the best player on the other team.

[Anhil8tor]

12/15 from the field
24/24 from the line
only 2 turn overs


Dirk wants his championship

[BIRD33]

It was an amazing shooting performance.I still think they could have done better on D.You see the guy covering him waving his hand in Dirks face which is good but he's still worried about him driving the ball so when dirk dips his head he backs off and gives him the inch of space to shoot his fade away.I would tell the guy guarding him to #1 not let him even get the ball and #2 don't worry about him driving as we are going to double team him the whole game and if he beats you there will be a guy behind you to stop him from dunking.Force him to pass and let anyone but Dirk shoot.

[BIRD33]

I had $50 on OKC +7 last night.That got me to -$75 for the playoffs.

Tonight Miami +3.They win the game outright.

How weird is it that Dirk is going to play the Heat and probably lose in his only two final appearances.

[BIRD33]

Awesome video about the history of the crossover.AI gets his due.For the record my crossover is nasty.

Bulls up 12 with three minutes to go.Nice coaching.I knew when I saw Kurt Thomas playing heavy minutes they were in trouble.Boozer is the biggest pussy.He's a non factor against another pussy in Bosh.Derrick Rose missing a foul shot to tie is inexcusable.Lebron shut him the fuck down and that took a little bit of the shine off of Roses MVP season.I can't tell if the bulls are just too young to handle the pressure or really bad on offense besides Rose.Might need to trade Noah or Boozer.

Heat in 6.Heat win first two.

[Anhil8tor]

Funny how the coach of the year and the MVP sucked ass huh?
