Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Day 4 of the NBA 2K9 Playoffs

Beantown basketball fighting for a breath of air?! Even without KG, it was tough to see this coming. So far the Bulls have had a hero in each game; last night their man in a cape was Ben Gordon with a whopping 41.

In the end, it just wasn't enough for Chicago as Ray Ray plunked a 3 point shaped nail in the coffin with two seconds left to tie the series at 1-1.

But Boston has got to be worried...

Speaking of splitting up the series, Parker lit up the scene with 38 (27 if it in the first half!) in San Antonio to ensure that Dallas did not take the series back 2-0. I feel for Dallas on that one. As Atma said, as much as we've had our run-ins with them in the past, the Mavs are far more entertaining to watch than the Spurs.

Case in point - Mark Cuban socking a water cooler following the loss last night. Now THAT'S entertainment!

Look at that crazy millionare go!

But enough of that nonsense. Let's talk playoffs - DAY 4!

Star-divide

 

 

Cavaliers v Pistons

 

Series: 1-0 - Cavs

Location: Cleveland

Time: 5:00 PDT

TV: TNT

Let the beatdown continue! My humble opinion is that the LeBron Cavaliers will continue stepping over the Pistons for their valid bid at the ring. But don't take my word for it. head over to Fear the Sword and Motown String Music to get the experts' take on tonight's festivities.


Lakers v Jazz

Series: 1-0 - Lakers

Location: Los Angeles

Time: 7:30 PDT

TV: TNT

Speaking of beatdown, it's tough to see this 1-8 seed matchup going any differently that Cleveland/Detroit. The toughest part about this series is deciding which lesser of two evils you want to win. I chooooooose: Don't watch. For more detailed opnions, check out our friends at Silver Screen and Roll and SLC Dunk.


Trailblazers v Rockets

Series: 1-0 - Rockets

Location: Portland

Time: 7:00 PDT

TV: NBA

Ah the battle for mediocrity. While the 5th seed Houston has managed to jump out to an early lead in this battle  (convingly I might add), I don't think they'll be able to take this back to Texas with a 2-0 series lead. Tonight "Roy to Oden" awakens. At least, that's what our old friends at Blazer's Edge are hoping. Meanwhile, The Dream Shake might have a few other hopes...

Yeah ... Cs are cooked, I'm afraid

As a Powe/Cal/Celtics fanboy, I was holding a l’il glimmer of hope that he would step into the KG void and help them shock the world by knocking off the Cavs. With that depleted a frontcourt — Perkins, Baby, Mikki, and a banged-up Scalabrine? — I’d be a little surprised if they even got past the Bulls.

Ah well. I think the Cavs probably would have taken the Celtics down even if they had Powe and KG, but it sure would have been a fun series to watch. Now I think we’ll have to wait for the Cavs/Lakers finals for the real battle royale. Go Cavs!!!!

Heh…that’s funny.

Y'all hear about the nba reviewing dampier's comments

about putting Tony Parker on his back on the first foul in the next game? Why does it seem like every post season, somebody on the mavericks does or says something dumb and boneheaded?

I'd guess the crowd wants revenge

for the pistons beating the cavs a few years back

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 21, 2009 6:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

I take that back

the cavs already got their revenge 2 seasons ago when they beat them to reach the finals

blazers announcers to me

yeah, now that i've listened more closely, you may be right

they called aldridge “LA” on the broadcast. I doubt the rockets guys would do that.

A bit off topic

Charles Barkley called in to the Razor and Mr T earlier today. He thinks Phil Jackson will retire after this season win or lose because of health reasons.

rockets falling apart late in this game

they look like they’re taking desperate shots right now

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 21, 2009 9:32 PM PDT reply actions  

hahahaha

there’s the blazer hometown bias in the announcer. “The rockets can play for 3 days and not be in foul trouble”

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 21, 2009 9:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Corey Maggette

was in attendance at the Lakers-Jazz game? Seriously?

good

maybe he can learn how to play

by gametime_gsw on Apr 22, 2009 9:35 AM PDT up reply actions  

Rockets will take

game 2 and 3 at home. Than take game 5 in portland. The Blazers wont be able to stop them. Roy can’t put up 42 every night.
