Another one falls victim to the LeBrons.
Props to the Cavs for finishing off the Hawks in 4 and getting through the first two rounds without a loss. Are they...UNSTOPPABLE BABY?!?!
No, they'll lose at least one next round against the Celtics or the Magic. But LeBron is making a great case for why he deserved to be MVP...
Best line from SportsCenter
Even on an off-night for James, the Cavaliers manage to pull of a victory.
What kind of off-night is 27 points, 8 boards, and 8 assists? Talk about Amazing...
The Mavericks overcame a late 14 point deficit last night and walked away with the victory. Didn't think they had it in em. Here's what I did know the Mavs (and their fans) DID have in em
They’re upset with the way their families and friends were treated Monday night at American Airlines Center, where fans hurled insults at Kenyon Martin’s girlfriend, rap star Trina, and where Carmelo Anthony’s girlfriend, LaLa Vazquez of MTV fame, was removed from her seat by security guards for her safety.
Fans also got into shouting matches with Martin’s mother, who had extra protection around her after Mavericks owner Mark Cuban called her son a thug following the frenetic finish in Game 3.
Look, I'm all about representing for your team and cheering em on, but harassing the opposing team's friends and family? That's a new low Dallas. Here's to counting on a blowout in Game 5.
Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics, 5 PM on TNT
As much fun as I had with Glen Davis's celebration the other night, I hope I don't see that mess again. Dwight Howard and Magic have lost their advantage now that the series is all tied up, but it's time to go back at shake up Boston. In the words of Third Quarter Collapse, the Word of the Day is EXECUTE.

Houston Rockets at L.A. Lakers, 7:30 PM on TNT
Aaron Brooks gave his mom a great Mother's Day present on Sunday. He was huge in a game where Yao Ming had to sit out due to a stress fracture, and the Rockets pulled out a double-digit victory. It's going to be tough this time around especially on the road, but I'll give it to the Rockets to pull of another upset. This team is too quick for the likes of Derek Fisher...

Anyone know if the lottery's televised?

i don't think it is
i don’t remember it being televised last year

Do you mean the lottery process, or the results?
by IQofaWarrior on May 12, 2009 6:30 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
oh wait
disregard my last, by results I assumed you meant the actual draft….I see now that you meant the actual process of selection vs. the announcing of which teams land in which slot. Since they no longer use ping pong balls or frozen envelopes to determine the winners don’t think they televise the actual lottery, but they do have a show (at halftime of one of the conference finals games I believe) where they announce the draft order as dramatic fashion as reading 13 team names can be.

C'mon Rockets
Pull the biggest upset in NBA history, even if it comes at the expense of our Warriors taking out the Mavericks. Take down the Lakers and their annoying bandwagon ass nation
by Golden Boy on May 12, 2009 7:39 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
the biggest upset in NBA history
Not really. With Yao out, it’s be a surprise, but hardly of historic proportions. The Rockets are a talented, hard-nosed team, and the Lakers have looked like paper tigers for a while now.
That said … LET’S GO ROCKETS!!!!
Thing 1
by Sleepy Freud on May 12, 2009 7:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well in my book
It’d be the biggest upset ever. It’s a group of small ball vs a juggernaut team of the greatest player in the game, along with 2 dominant seven footers.

Skip to My Lou plays = Celtics win
When will Orlando realize this glorified chucker makes them more likely to lose every time he steps on court? If they’re smart they’ll suspend him for Games 6 and 7 just for being a crappy player and a bit of a punk…
Thing 1
by Sleepy Freud on May 12, 2009 7:42 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Awesome at what?
Is it just coincidence that the one game he was out, Orlando blew the Celtics off the court? Or that Houston is suddenly born again hard with him shipped out of town? I mean, it might be, but as a Cs’ fan I can tell you I love to see that guy shooting the Magic out of games. Dude’s a so-called shooter who has shot 38.5% from the field for his career. And he turns 33 this summer. You might as well hope we bring back Troy Hudson.
CJ Watson > Rafer Alston.

The father of the kid who got bumped sent a letter to the Magic organization demanding an apology for the Magic’s late game collapse.

Yea I agree
I usually hate the Celtics, especially now that most of em are egotistical and douches. But I really did respect Davis for apologizing. What I found funnier/more messed up was Cuban insulting K-Mart’s mom.

If the Rockets eliminate the Lakers
It’ll give mad hope for us that small ball can take out a championship contending team. Let’s be honest. The Mavericks weren’t title contenders.
