Damn i just had to watch Dallas beat San Antonio and act as though
they accomplished something. San Antonio was without one of their big
three and there supporting cast stinks. Michael Finley and Bruce Bowens
should start collecting their pension. I hate to see Mark Cuban making
a spectacle of himself. I suspect they get to play denver. I hope
dallas gets destroyed in the next round.

Portland showed some heart tonight by gutting out a victory! Aside from Game 1, this has been a great series. Before the playoffs began, I predicted Portland would only win games 2 and 5. I'm right so far, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong about Game 6.

I know the Bulls stink but how was that last play NOT a flagrant foul?

Sorry but Mark Cuban just irks the hell out of me and jason
terry with his cocky ass.

phunkdaddy said:

Don't worry, they will. Beating an old, worn out, banged-up Spurs team doesn't impress me. Show me something against Mr. Big Shot and the boys.

phunkdaddy said:

Actually, I haven't been on speaking terms with Cuban since he got rid of Steve Nash, only to have the fool be league MVP the year the Mavs went to the finals and lost. If that ain't karma I don't know what the hell is. Although I go to the games, I've been rooting for their demise ever since. As for Jason Terry I wanna smash his face in every time I see it on TV. The local media really needs to stop with all this JET bullshit.

SCNDLS said:

Yeah i used to like nash, dirk, and finley but soon it became the mark
cuban show and jason terry while he is a good player he acts as though
he is an elite player and he talks plenty shit.
Cuban and Terry are the main reasons why i despise the Mavs now.

Because it was at the end of the game, not in the first quarter. First quarter, that's a flagrant foul. Fourth quarter, they let 'em play.

phunkdaddy said:

I can't stand his grandstanding either, but you know what?

If you send an email to him, he will answer you. Personally. I give the guy that.

That is why I like the NFL more. A call, is a call.....is a CALL. The guy is bleeding on the court and no call? Dumb.

Hats off to Portland. They won game 5 just like they won game 2 - they got unbelievably hot with 5 minutes to go and made absolutely everything they threw up, while playing the quickest defense of the game.

I'll be at Game 6 - if the creek don't rise, and Joey Crawford don't show up, I think it's all over.

Hornets looked like they opened up a big can of Quit last night in the fourth quarter. How could the lane be so open?

RodeoSchro said:

Are they trying 2 get Scott fired?

I heard that the Pistons want Ben Gordon. I hope he goes there and puts 40 a game on the Bulls 4 the next 10 years.

Graycap23 said:

Yep, just like the refs letting Jordan push off on Russell on that last shot.

uPtoWnNY said:

Prior 2 that particular shot, I'd never seen anyone sneek in a push like that. Have u? No way the refs call something they have NEVER seen.

Graycap23 said:

I found out last week that he's a distant cousin of mine. I don't know him or his peeps but I'm claiming his ass.

SCNDLS said:

That kid has MAD game. 4 some strange reason, the dumb*** Bulls fans don't like him. I hope 2 goes 2 Detriot and destroys the Bulls 4 years 2 come.

Graycap23 said:

Something's going on over there. Byron Scott was never, ever a quitter.

I still haven't figured out the Tyson Chandler non-trade. Maybe they're trying to get the GM fired.

RodeoSchro said:

Some one is trying 2 get somebody fired.

Graycap23 said:

He sure does. I really haven't followed this season but the Boston/Chicago series has been a lot of fun. Why don't they like him?

SCNDLS said:

I have not quite figured that out. Don't know. He is an unrestricted free agent and I hope he walks with the team receiving ZERO compensation.

Wade was quite the cheap shot artist last night. I suppose
most of it was frustration versus the upstart hawks.

phunkdaddy said:

That foul on Mo wasn't a cheap shot. That was ref overreaction from fan overreaction. Wade went for th block.

Smith's blown dunk

And the collective 'nooooo' that rings around the arena when he lines up a three.

We need to close this out.

Go Portland!

Not ANOTHER double OT!!! I really can't take no mo'

Triple OT

If this goes to 7 games it'll surely have been the longest series in history.
