Ladies and gentlemen, BENNETT SALVATORE!

of all the bad calls in the game you talk about a totally legit foul? Rose was fucked on the play and fouled no doubt at all, if he doesn't its an easy layup for Rondo

Was that Derrick Rose's first interview on national television?

"Did you realize you tied Kareem's record?"

*blank stare*

"No ma'am"

I couldn't have fouled him out on that. It was pretty ticky-tack.

I disagree he clearly fouled what would have been an easy game tying layup, to some extent you let players play late, but Rose got juked out and got owned, the fact its #6 shouldn't matter

Lebron off to a monster start, his playoff play has been a little erratic, some absolute monsters, but a bunch of very mediocre games too(most of the Boston series last year for example) I think he's turned the corner and its Lebron's world for the next 6-10years or so

Cavs better get Lebron back in there, Detroit making a serious run right now.

This is all preamble to Rockets/Blazers tonight anyway.

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 5:18 pm

This is going to be a sweep. For half-a-second I thought maybe they steal a game in Detroit...but no, it's not happening.

Do the Cavs always have that loud Rockman sounding voice chanting Defense? That crowd should be carrying it, not the music playing.

Cannot wait until tonights Blazer game!!!

Prick.

Helluva shot though, no doubt.

I believe that's the only game that the Blazers beat Houston this season and it took a miracle.

I like our chances, especially with Ron Ron guarding Roy all series long.

The homes teams won during the regular season, but homecourt doesn't favor Houston now.

I hope that now all you see what I've been talking about on here all season long. Keep telling me Derrick Rose isn't a top 5 PG, faggots.

Noah sucks guys!!! right? basketball geniuses, some of you guys are.

Imagine the Bulls with a real head coach.

Derrick Rose had one of the best games in bulls history by a player not named Jordan or Pippen, both Pierce and Allen have off games, but the bulls only win by 2 in OT?

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:15 pm

i'm this close to ignoring Eternalreflection for the whole nba playoffs. he really makes basketball not fun.

LOL @ you faggots getting mad at Bulls fans cause we took a game from the "champs". And then you homos have the nerve to try to down play our big win? Cry about it, faggots.

the bulls suck, 41-41 -0.3PD isn't exactly a powerhouse lol and its not just bad coaching either, the potential is there but its at least a year away probably 2-3

Paul, Williams, Parker, Billups, Nash Rondo and a few more, next year he might move into the top5(I'd say its quite likely) but he's not there yet and one amazing game isn't going to change that

Gregg, you're not supposed to think about the stats or interpret them, you just post them and act like they speak for themselves...

There you go. Now make up a stat, like, say this:

well, 1/2 seeds win something like 84.8% of NBA championships so playoffs are just for fans

100% of knee injuries by NBA PFs in Boston are healed if touched by the blessed right arm of Peyton Manning. Thus said in the secret scrolls of MANNING LAW

It was great seeing Ron-Ron take the young Rockets aside and give them advice:

"Now if a muthafucka hits you with a beer, AND YOU DON'T HAVE AN UZI ON THE BENCH, you get up in the crowd and punch that muthafucka out. QB REPREZENT. GET MONEY."

quite a bit better, but they are still far from a good team

going from a non-playoff team to a fringe playoff team is quite the improvement,

getting 2players to play out of their mind, have the opposing team have its best player not play and 2 of the top3 have awful games, and still only win by 2 in overtime is definitely the sign of a good team right?
