2009 NBA Playoffs Thread (Money Gripp Blog Thread)

One thing that's never talked about with the Lakers is that they don't really have any dead-eye shooters. Kobe and Gasol draw so much attention that there's tons of good looks for guys on the perimeter but nobody can make a shot.

Most of Ariza's 3's come off wide-open looks. He's not nearly as good with hand in his face.

Vujacic is just awful. I'm starting to think last year's season was a fluke.

Walton's not a great shooter. Ditto for Farmar.

Aaron Brooks is seriously amazing. The way he's able to navigate among the giants is unbelievable.

I continue to be in love.

Can't remember a year there were so many small missed calls in 4th quarters.

I like Farmar. But he's been awful since all star break. Phil Jax has stood by Farmar since he broke in the league but he was playing so poorly THAT HE WAS PLAYING SHANNON BROWN INSTEAD! And Phil is no dummy.

But yes - Farmar >> DFish.

I see Michael Adams/Steve Nash hybrid on the near Horizon.

The David Stern/Van Gundy verbal jousting is better I think.

I love that he's asking for some of that 100,000 back after the referee controversy.

When he's playing a good game he's great, but he still makes quite a lot of mistakes. He's young so that's fine, but you just don't know what player you're getting night to night.

Houston is having one of their great shooting nights. I'd really like it if they could finally put two of them back-to-back.

They're going to have to hit their shots if they want to have a chance in L.A.

I can't front I didn't think the Rockets would win tonight after that beatdown last game. So impressed with this team. Even after LA came back they just pulled away again.

jamrage · Post by **jamrage** » Fri May 15, 2009 12:24 am

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this has been a fucking weird series.

The Rockets win 2 games without Yao =

You have to think L.A. takes it at home, but the Rockets have won game 7s on the road before...

People I'd Like to Kill:

The people behind the play by play team in the crowd...when said play by play team is on camera chatting about the game, and they insist on making stupid faces, holding up "we're number 1" gestures, talking on their phone, etc. These people are of the gays.

jamrage · Post by **jamrage** » Fri May 15, 2009 12:28 am

Great game rockets. if you win or don't you've had a great season. especially without mcgrady and yao half of the series.

eternalreflection · Post by **eternalreflection** » Fri May 15, 2009 12:35 am

have a feeling the Lakers will win game 7 by 30+ like game 5, but I hope somehow Houston could pull it off

Well they are at a sporting event ...

I dunno, maybe you're right. Fans should just stand there and be stagnate if they get 30 seconds to be on national TV.

They should at least do something interesting and not cliche.

I would whip my dick out.
