OPEN THREAD: Day 3 of the 2k8 NBA Playoffs
G2: (5) Washington Wizards @ (4) Cleveland Cavaliers (Cavaliers Lead 1-0)
The Washington Warrior...errr...Wizards, don't stand much chance on the road against my mortal enemy.
G2: (4) Utah Jazz @ (5) Houston Rockets (Jazz Lead 1-0)
Does anybody else think it's funny that the 5th seed has the home court advantage on this one? Will TMac finally make it past the first round? I hope so cause I have my money on the Rockets!

DeShawn(sp!??!?! wtf!?) was right
Thanks for providing this venue to hate on Lebron. Any person of average intelligence with a few years of organized hoops experience could put up his numbers with his body. He is an athletic freak with all kinds of deficiencies in his game. If I’m Deshawn Stevenson, I know I’m a much better pure shooter; I’ve got a right to criticize him. On that note, did anyone hear Van Gundy hating on AI yesterday? Marc Jackson calls him one of the best players, pound-for-pound, of all time, and Van Gundy loses it. This is a perfect example of a much more skilled and passionate player(AI) who will never get the respect Lebron does because he’s not 6’9”/260. If AI had Bron’s body he would have destroyed Wilt’s single game scoring record.
I'm keen on the professional basketball club The Golden State Warriors. I don't fancy other clubs.

stevenson

DeShawn
Stevenson with the “you can’t see me” face wag. What a prick. He thinks he’s as good as BD with his beard and I bet he actually believes he is as important to the Washington Mystics like Jamison. Craziness. Up next, Delonte vs Gilbert!

What's happening with the first game?
I’m still at work. The Wizards looks like they’re getting smothered.

yup pretty much
Arenas is apparently a lot more hurt than he thought he was. Cavs role players are having a great game. LeBron is clearly pissed at Stevenson and showing him exactly how “overrated” he is…or isn’t haha. Stevenson is a moron for waking the beast…

It is the definition
of a testosterone game. It’s raining hard fouls and insults honey!

haha i'll say!
What’d you think of Haywood’s ejection? Do you think it should have been a flagrant 2 or just a 1?

lebron
I don’t like james but he is great. Mark my words, he nor anyone else in this era (except maybe monta ellis) will ever come close to jordon. Lebron has never been as clutch as jordon, had the defense of jordon, or the basic basketball iq or MJ. nuff said, I won’t even put lebron in my top 3 right now. Paul, kobe, and garnett are clearly better. I’d thrpw him in that 4-6 group with stoudemire and howard. cp3 is making history with the 20 and 10 feat. That’s insane and 3 steals to go with it. Then kg. There is no stat for disire or intensity or he would be the league leader everytime. And those 19 points 12 rebs and 5 assist, plus being the best defender in the league helps as well. And everyone knows in terms of who the best is, there no question that kobe is the best. Lebrons stats+ defense+free throws+clutch= much better player. I will say lebron is great, amazing, but jordan, no and not top 3 either.

“he nor anyone else in this era (except maybe monta ellis) will ever come close to jordan.”

What is there not to like about Lebron?

you didn’t get the joke….
We still believe!!

Yeah
Stevenson never had anything to back him all his trash talking. Was I trippin or did he actually try to one-up Lebron (Jay-Z) on the rapper front with Soulja Boy?
I thought it was definitely a flagrant on Haywood. Did y’all see the angle from the baseline?? He had zero control after he got pushed in mid-air. It could have been real ugly.

I don't want T-Wack
He would bring the curse of not being able to win in the 1st round over here.

I hate Kirilenko even more now
I agree with TMac in his postgame conference that Kirilenko flopped. I feel for TMac getting mad, because Kirilenko flopped on Barnes last year too, and I’m still mad about that.

ha
i just found out who the ref was for that call on kirilenko let me have you guess for a second…....... k IT WAS TONY BROTHERS! isn’t that name familiar here to anyone
So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Ah yes
Had to look this up, but now I know. Against the Wizards last season, Tony Brothers called a shooting foul on Pietrus as Gilbert Arenas was driving to the hoop as time expired. That call caused Nellie to hop off the bench mad, resutling in a technical foul from the crew chief. I remember the foul call was crap, but I didn’t remember who made it.

I'll openly admit I hate all things that are Boston sports, but with Powe (Oakland Tech + Cal), Eddie House (Hayward High), and Paul Pierce (born in Oakland) the Celtics have enough Bay Area ties to make me root for them to beat the Lakers in this year's finals.
By the way aren't you glad the Warriors selected Kosta Perovic instead of local favorite and role model Powe? No comment.](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/6424/default_small.jpg)
