I like you man. I like you too dogg. Let's get murried!
This is my most favoritist Kobe quote ever.
"They whooped us, period," said Kobe Bryant(notes), who scored 34 points. "They whooped us on the glass. They whooped us to loose balls."
Let's have a little competition, shall we? The GSoM member that can make the best joke from that gets a special shot out in my next few posts.
On a game where the World Wrestling Entertainment packed up its bags and went to the Staples Center because of a double booking, it was only fitting that the fans got their fair share of grabbling and grappling. 55 fouls, 4 technical fouls, and 84 free throw attempts = one aggressive game.
"I’m sure the world wants to see Cleveland and the Lakers" in the NBA finals, he (Chauncey Billups) said. "You’ve got the best two players in the world, a chance to see them play in a seven-game series. I don’t want to see it. Man, I don’t want to see it. And I’m trying my best not to make that happen."
I'm with you man. I want to see Vitamin Water get screwed...
Jump for today's game...
Cleveland Cavaliers at Orlando Magic, 5:30 PM on TNT
"We’re the best team in basketball," he (Mo Williams) said.
Um....excuse you? The best team in basketball should not be down to 2-1 in a 7 game playoff series. They are playing well (that shot in Game 2 was nuts), but they don't have an answer for Dwight Howard. No matter how well, LBJ plays, he needs support. He's averaging over 40 points a game, but it can't be LeBron vs. the Magic. Just won't cut it..
I'm going with the Magic in Game 4.

My favorite quote of the day:
“It’s disrespectful when everybody’s counting us and Denver out trying to win a championship,” said Howard, who made the Cavs pay for fouling him by making 14 of 19 free throws in Game 3. "It’s like, forget the Magic, forget Denver. They want to see LeBron and Kobe go at it. So that is disrespectful. The only way you get respect is by going out there and taking it.
“My mind-set is making people respect us.”

predictions.
magic again. why?
big Z can’t stop dwight. wallace can’t stop dwight. no one on the cavs can really stop superman.
double or triple team dwight? throw it out to hedo or rashard for the open three, of course barring they make the three, which they usually will.
make lebron do all the work for his team and it’s a done deal.
obvious prediction and analysis is obvious to everyone. but i just wanted to get this off my mind. done.

Damn, I hope the Cavaliers tie it up tonight. LeBron James is averaging 41.7 points per game, but it’s clear that their role players need to step it up here.

he’s almost doing it now, it’s just that the magic are killing it from three. with how close these games have been, how good the magic have been, and how good the cavs were all season, i’d guess that they can pull out the next two and possibly three.

Reminds me of David Cross on the misuse of the word "literally.
“He LITERALLY grew wings and ascended to heaven where God blessed him with his God-like defensive blocking capability, and he stayed in heaven for seven glorious days and nights dining with the gods. And God turned a switch and stopped time here on earth, so that he may do so, and sent him back to earth and onto the field and at the appropriate time did the switch so we wouldn’t know what happened!”

I still think this may be one of the most insane sporting feats I’ve witnessed:

Yeah, it’s just practice goofing around, but five full-court shots in a row? Together with the other obscene skills he packs into that 260 pounds of solid rock (among other things, he may be the best passer his size I’ve seen since Magic) it seriously makes me question if he’s even human.
