it would be nice if the Cs bench would show up this series.
great game, I couldn't believe how many times each team tried to give away the game.
the sixers sure did their fans proud.

i dont watch much b-ball
is rondo always this bad at the end of games??
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

Sixers were beyond awful.Total lack of effort on defense.They just let them fire from deep uncontested.I'm probably one of the few JJ Reddick fans left and he stuck a dagger in my back having possibly his best pro game ever.They never even made a run in the second half.I'm sort of ok with the loss because it should mean the coach gets fired.When the magic had 62 at half and the sixers looked like zombies going into the locker room I wondered how the hell this dead fish of a coach was going to get them motivated to come out and kick ass in the second half.I was correct in my assumptions, the guys an empty suit.

did you pay off your bet, or are you a reneger??

I always pay my bets.Its a write off anyway.The guy hangs my 2 twenties above his desk (literally) and feels special.I get the next dozen orders worth close to 60K and I go out and buy forty bucks worth of stuff with my amex to make up for spending my own cash.Its called being a good salesmen.

what does "this bad at the end of games" even mean? because he got one shot blocked? it was a phenomenal play by Rose.
19 assists and zero turnovers, BIRD33 isn't that good in his wildest dreams of Y basketball.

ZERO turnovers in a triple overtime game?
He absolutely didn't shoot well, nor did he get to the basket the way he usually does, but I can't believe someone as "knowledgeable" as you is going to sit there and harp on his 8 points.

No turnovers is great.Having 2 points in 3 overtimes is not when your team needs you desperately after 3 guys fouled out.He's good not great.

Is it obvious now Rondo wasnt the most valuable player in that series?
Lakers -8 Vs Rockets
Atlanta +11.5 Vs Cleveland
Dallas +6.5 Vs Denver
Orlando +3 Vs Boston
Pick a game you like.I'm leaning towards Boston or LA.

I went halves on Boston and the Cav's.My partner talked me into the Celts but I even said they probably will be tired after the bulls series.He texted his apologies at half time.I like the Cav's to roll tonight.
I love how Rondo has a bad game and the announcers have to make excuses about how he has the sniffles.Poor baby.
I've realized the Rondo love is another example of the kool-aid drinking fans up in New England.I listened to Bill Simmons podcast the other day and he was talking about how Rondo is now a max contract player.Are you fucking kidding me?A guard who can't shoot from outside 18 feet is a max salary guy?Fucking joke.

Rondo's been awful for 3 or 4 games...first it was just his scoring went in the shitter, now he's playing careless and timid. Someone in the TNT studio said he hasn't been the same since that hard foul on Miller. That timing seems about right to me.
I still think he was the best player during the first half of the Bulls series, but he definitely wasn't after that. And I disagree with Simmons that he's a max contract guy.

He's a max contract guy the way Michael Redd is a max contract guy.
Is JJ Reddick turning into a respectable NBA player?Its funny how Van Gundy basically shit on him for two years and now when he's forced to play him he bails Van Gundy out.
I used to like Van Gundy but I think he's now the most arrogant coach in the league.Every question a reporter asks he gets into a confrontation like he's Bob Knight.Plus he's always negative about his team.Someone needs to remind him that he got replaced in Miami and didnt coach them to a ring that year because he acts like he's a proven great coach.
