NBA discussion thread

Please o please let that be the case.

Cavsw00t

Pressure's still on them, they don't win the next one it's over in 5, and I see Detroit be extra motivated for game 4, but I gotta hand it to the Cavs, they were the better team tonight, definetly earned that win.

Hamilton was a non-factor. That needs to change in order for them to win Game 4.

Spurs take the next to games I think.

Refs help Jazz once again. Series will be tied 2-2 after tonight.

Come on Cavs! I'm affraid Billups will step up for two reasons though: (1) He is Billups and will bounce back like a true veteran and (2) Hughes has been a big problem for him and is likely going to sit the rest of the playoffs.

I could careless from here on out.

Couple things that I will be pondering until Thursday.

1. Why **** did Flip take Prince off Lebron in the 4th?
2. Cleveland has yet to repond to Detroit's zone/trap, yet Detroit only uses it when there losing, and sparringly at that.

Cavs are the only chance to make the Finals not completley suck. They better do it.

Do I sense deja vu? The Pistons better come out in Game 5, because Cleveland has momemtum now.

The Spurs will make it suck, regardless.

Did anyone see the video of Rasheed throwing his jersey backwards and randomly hitting a dude in the face. Hilarious!

^^^I wish I seen that.......and no finals with the Pistons in it suck, I ****in want a Pistons/Spurs finals, those are the only two teams that now how to play defense in the league, plus redemption from 05.

I think Spurs/Pistons would make the most intriguing match up of the finals, but I'd still rather see my Cavs in it. In no way was the 2005 Finals and anybody who finds either the Pistons or the Spurs "boring" are either insane or can't appreciate fundamental basketball.

Anybody else keeping up on this Kobe thing? Laker fans: Will he stay or will he go?

I don't consider either team boring, it's just I hate both teams(so I'd have no one to root for, which makes it less exciting to me) and I'm sick of seeing the same teams all the time. Therefore I will not watch the Finals if it's Pistons/Spurs because unless it's a Double OT Thriller it would be a waste of my time.

Fair enough, but what I said still stands for those that follow that general perspective.

Lakers fans I don't you are going to like this. 🙁

Truly one of the saddest interviews I have ever listened to. Going off what Kobe said, he wont be playing for us next season. The organization ****ed up big time man.

I might just quit likeing the NBA, no F***in way Kobe should get out, we need to do whatever we can to keep him, tickets WILL go down.

so some of the possible kobe trades ive been hearing so far are:

Kobe to Bulls for Gordon and Wallace
Kobe to Mavs for Dirk
Kobe to Portland for #1 Pick (Oden)
