Why can NOBODY win on the road in the NBA? It's rather bizarre.

Just saw a clip of Bill Russel talking to Kevin Garnet.... wow. "You're goiing to win 3 championships" Bill told KG. A real beautiful sight... these two together.

Very Happy

Paul

Tight right on up to the end, two players with 40+ for the day. Wow. LeBron James is a mutant in a man suit. Just needs a bit more seasoning and maybe another player or two around him and Cavs maybe aren't polishing up their golf clubs today.

In any event, I'm rooting for Boston the rest of the way, since the Spurs don't seem to want to beat NO and advance. Good for Pierce(WOW!!) and good good good for Garnett.

Collision course...

what a win by the Spurs tonight against the Hornets... Parker & Duncan are dynamite.

I hope the Lakers and Celtics make it to the finals... this will be very, very interesting how it developes.

I think the Celtics will have an easier time over the Pistons than the Lakers will against the Spurs...

watch how something weird happens, celts struggle with atlanta then play a bad cleveland team and struggle again.. now they play the cream of the nba's crop and i'm willing to bet the c's take out detroit in 5 and lakers in 5 ... just have a funny feeling.

Wow.. Spurs made it happen. I guess I can still root on the Celts, though. Celts/Spurs for the finals.. Daddy likey alien

Must have felt like playing a rookie team tonite compared to facing LeBron. Easy win over a very good team and rested team, the Pistons. I'd like to see some plays designed around Ray Allen to get him going.

I'm thinking that the Lakers & Spurs are going to battle it out and Boston is going to be rusty... waiting on the sidelines.

What's up with Allen??? He's unconcious from the charity stripe but 3-10 from the field??? It's been like that with him throughout the playoffs. Not something I expect from him...it's like the 2nd coming of John Starks in a Celts uni.

Lakers may be too much for Tim Duncan and Co.

Subject: Re: Basketball Playoffs... Woo Hoo !!! Thu May 22, 2008 9:54 am

That was quite a game. The Spurs looked like they had the Lakers. I was feeling bad for Colby, after winning the MVP. No need to... Colby took over at the end... an amazing comeback.

The Pistons showed why they have been contenders the last few years. Mixed feelings of whether the Celtics played poorly or the Piston's had the Celtics number. The one bright spot was that Ray Allen finally started hitting shots towards the end of the game.

I watched the 4th of the Det/Bos game and thought the Celts might just pull it off. Oh well. There's 5 more games to be played.

That 3 that Allen popped up there in the last minute or so of the game was an absolute beauty. Up and over Rasheed Wallace's outstretched arms, tons of arc and dead to the center of the hoop. That guy sure has a pretty shot....when he's burrying them Wink

Good game for the Celtics... cheers

... looks like there may be a real possibility of a Lakers - Celtics final.
