NBA Suck Squad: Day 21 of the 2k9 NBA Playoffs (SB Nation Travelin' Thread)
Today Golden State of Mind is your official home of the SBNation Traveling Game Thread for the 2009 NBA Playoffs.
Welcome SB Nation friends from all 22 NBA Suck Squads gone fishing! Each day a different member of the world class SB Nation hoops consortium not alive in the big dance hosts the playoff game thread, so definitely make sure to click and roll on over to our brother sites each day.
Strap on your Strength Shoes and JUMP for a Day 20 Rewind and a Day 21 Preview. Actually before you do that, check out this ridiculous Q&A with Ridiculous Upside about the NBDL.
REWIND
Atlanta Hawks 85, Cleveland Cavaliers 105 (Cavs lead 2-0)
The Cleveland LeBrons have ONE GOAL [Fear the Sword]. Championship? Um no... DOMINATION [Fear the Sword].
I hope Cleveland is really enjoying this because all good things must come to an end- especially in random fly over states. Poor LeBron- can you believe this guy has spent his ENTIRE life in Ohio? LeBron 2 NY in 2010... LeBron 2 NY in 2010... LeBron 2 NY in 2010...

PREVIEW
Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic (Series tied 1-1) : 4pm PST on ESPN
Green with envy [Celtics blog] that Kevin McHale's last great move as a Boston Celtic was to kill the 8th wonder of the world known as KG to the Warriors: Is KG walking through that door? Probably not, but Rajon Rondo's got them saying WOW in Beantown. Their game plan seems simple enough- move ball, score baskets. But against those magic moves will it be enough? Even without KG, I'm not ready to say it's all over for the Celts and they're just going to get beat up by Superman- I mean they do wear green and they still got that stuff all the way live.
Orlando Tragic Collapse [Magic blog]: The morning after game 2 seemed a little complacent for guys from the #2 biggety-biggety O (Oakland's #1 and Orinda's a distant #3). Skip to My Lou will be sitting this one out, but cheer up Magic fans and create a caption. I've never seen so many people so excited to see Nate Dogg play hoops, but after you've been through a tough 3rd quarter collapse sometimes you just have to regulate.
I'm going with the Magic for this one. D-Wight D-Flight D-Fense will protect the magical kingdom tonight.
LA Lakers @ Houston Rockets (Series tied 1-1) : 6:30pm PST on ESPN
Ron-Ron whispers to Kobe Bryant: "I know what you did 6 summers ago..."
As my colleague FJ illustrated with pictures what words can't do any justice, this series is just like TNT- it knows drama.
Screening and Rolling [Lakers blog]: As much as we disdain the Los Angeles Fakers and their dirty antics, give them credit- they're trying to make sense.
Dream Shaking [Rockets blog]: Hey, Joey Crawford Houston has something they want to tell you...!!! Tempers are flaring as expected with all those elbows. Well maybe it's just time for another installment of everyone's favorite advice column Dear Kobe. That should clear up this simple misunderstanding. Although it might be worth a second look before we move on.
I'm picking the Rockets in Game 3. They didn't call Houston Clutch City in '95 for nothing.
FYIFF (FYI for Friends)
Many of you SBN hoopsters from other hoopenin' communities might be wondering what's up with "NBA Suck Squad"? We do this for the people.
Like Stephen A used to say on the remarkably underrated and under appreciated Quite Frankly- "It's our house, but you're welcome anytime." To all our friendly visitors please remember while commenting here, that GSoM is a family show. No swearing, no personal attacks, and no throwing objects at other community members (ahem, cough, cough... Detroit and Utah). Otherwise GSoMers are going to have to come at you like Ron Artest in the stands. You best believe we're talking about Indy Artest here, not Houston Artest.

I read that Von Wafer apologized for arguing with coach Adelman about being subbed out during Game 2. I hope it’s over. The Rockets already have the Lakers to deal with. They don’t need an internal fight on their hands.

For reeeeeaaallzzz
A guy who works at my company but in a different department than me is “huge” basketball fan and likes no one else but the Lakers. The guys and myself in my department on the other hand are real basketball fans in general, the majority of whom are Dubs enthusiasts. The other dude always comes over and chimes in when we’re talking basketball or debating basketball related topics. The only thing he ever says is shit like “Kobe for MVP” and “My team is waaaay better than the Warriors” with little variance. He actually just the other day came over asking for our opinions on the Lakers/Rockets series so he could go argue those talking points with someone else about it. Tragically trash.

i agree
and please nobody say that it’s unsportsman-like or in bad taste to wish an injury on anyone.. WHY!? do you think Kobe cares if you get injured? do you think Kobe cares that you spend a fortune on college and can’t find a job in this recession? do you think kobe sends you a condolence card if your mama dies!? No! These guys don’t care! Literally! Not at all. They don’t give a flying f*** about whether you live or die! These guys are spoiled babies who won the genetics lottery. Sure they run and train hard, but it’s basketball. Practice! We talkin bout practice, er, I mean Basketball!
These guys care about nothing else except for their wallets and egos.. just remember, when you think basketball player.. think wallets and egos. So with that said, Kobe, get injured. Bynum, have that knee give out completely, Gasol, have some sort of career-ending injury.. same goes for you, Boozer, D. Williams, B. Davis, Amare, Brandon Roy. and KG.

I dunno what’s classy to you, but its probably something way out of there.
My theory on why Warrior fans dislike him. He’s a Laker, a division rival. Two he flops and get calls, but who blows the whistles in the first place? Three, he does one dirty move and is classless and dirty? Or was he already labeled one?

I don’t think anyone really believes that Fisher is not a classy guy OFF the court. When he was with the Dubs we all gave him props for that.
But ON the court, he’s demonstrated extremely poor hoops IQ and an amazing lack of class.

But ON the court, he’s demonstrated extremely poor hoops IQ and an amazing lack of class.
I don’t think he has poor hoops IQ, he may have faltered a bit in this year’s playoff’s but in general he has imo an above average hoops IQ.
But when it comes to class on the court I don’t think one game constitutes him as being a ‘dirty’ and/or ‘classless’ player. If he had a track record of being dirty, then yes you can argue that he possesses one or both of those traits. But in his 12 years in the NBA, that’s the first time I’ve seen him pull something off like that. A ‘classless’ play/foul yes, a ‘classless’ player no.

Yup I remember
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drW7c-sisS8
Here’s what happened: Inbounds play in which Ellis tries to power through Fisher, Ellis pushes Fisher back while Fisher holds him, Fisher trips on Baron Davis’s foot (0:13) , falls while holding Monta, and Harrington lands on his knee (0:11,0:18).
Monta knows Fish is a flopper and he “smartly” ran into him instead of trying to go around, throw in the trip over Baron’s foot, and Bob Delaney’s call and that’s what happened. Blame the ref, not Fish. Should’ve been a no call if anything.

Hate, including Laker hate, amongst others shroud people’s credibility and judgment. Give credit when it’s due and credit when it’s not, knowing that Fish has no track record of being “dirty” I’ll take the Former.

We are having a debate or argument am I correct? I rebutted your remark in which you assume the play was a “dirty” play, I even gave you visual proof to prove there was more misunderstanding in it than dirtiness. Then you come up with this rebuttal:
does not change the fact that fisher is a dirty player.
what are you trying to prove?
Sarcasm, Acrimony, Asperity, I don’t know what to make of that remark. If it wasn’t one of the latter, then that’s why I brought up reading comprehension as if you read my post correctly you would’ve understood what I was trying to ‘prove’. Take it as an insult if you want, but it wasn’t. If you think it was then I apologize.

word of advice
sarcasm through mere words (or in this case, on an online blog) cannot be as easily read as sarcasm through tone of voice. keep that in mind next time you want to mock someone.
my definition of dirty involves flopping and faking injuries along with flagrant 2s and stepping on people’s heels when they are going up for a layup among many things. fisher has a history of flopping, which he has done MANY times. and when you try to play off the flop with an injury (usually fake) you’re really just killing your reputation. it’s a major reason i dislike fisher as a player and a major reason why i hate manu as a player. maybe i should have been more clear before responding with a shallow comment like that. but alas, here are my views.
and for the record, yes this is a debate, and debates usually do not involve personal insults about someone. i just don’t understand how a one liner like that warranted a response like that. you’re usually good with being civil in discussions like this. not sure why you chose to insult me this time though.
by jchao204 on May 10, 2009 12:10 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
to clarify.
my sarcasm comment was more directed to your insult.
there was no sarcasm involved in my short one liner though. it was an honest question.

Well considering your one of the more affable posters here, after my initial post in which I mentioned comprehension, I assumed it was you just being sarcastic. I’m pretty sure my posts on this string of comments does clearly convey what I was trying to say in that Fish as not being a dirty or classless player, but you just may have missed it. And like I said I apologize if you read that as an insult. Misunderstanding is what it was then.
But onto flopping, I hate flopping too and it’s great to have a flopper on your team to cause turnovers (Yes it’s an art, and I believe it constitutes a said’s Defense), but there’s alot of great players who are floppers such as Divac, Malone, Stockton, Laimbeer, Miller, Ainge, Rodman amongst others who excelled at flopping, but I think calling them ‘dirty’ players imo is a stretch especially when you compare them to those hard nose physical flagrant throwing type of players. But yea I guess you can view it as ‘dirty’ though if the your team are the victims of a flop.

just because i’m sarcastic 3/4 of the time doesn’t mean i won’t talk about something that i have an opinion on every now and then.
and as for flopping being an art: i’ll just say this. you think it’s an art. i think it’s ruining the sport. lets just leave it at that.

the way baron flopped was just hilarious. it was so obvious that you can’t help but laugh.
but as you can see from the play, okur is grabbing his arm as baron is going for the ball to inbound it. what’s the point of that really? trying to stall to get your defense set before the offense passes half court or something?

There was a game between the Spurs and the Lakers in '08 I believe...
few seconds left on the clock in the 4th, Brent Barry got the inbound pass and he does a pump fake outside the 3 pt line, Derek Fisher was guarding him. The defender bit on the fake and landed his pointed elbow and arm on Barry’s (back) neck and head which I think was done deliberately (why would anyone want to land their pointed elbow onto someone’s head?). Fisher could have landed on Barry with his arms up or but chose not to. It might not have been a flagrant but it should have been called a foul at least. I really don’t think landing an elbow on someone’s neck and head can be called classy. (and the fact that he flops like crazy and gets away with it most of the time.)
To make it fair, you’re right, refs should be blamed. Who else should be officiating the games right and fair if not them?
But like I said earlier, in my eyes he’s not a classy guy. Grant Hill and the likes is more like it.
The probability that you just read my signature: 1
by girltothemax on May 9, 2009 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yea that was last year's
And it’s another missed call although Brent didn’t sell the foul. And no there was no intent on that elbow, incidental at most. I play pick up ball alot and I fall for that as well as see others get hit with a pump and it happens.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR4m0ZThDYY&feature=fvst
Anyways, if I remember correctly, Grant got a flagrant against the Clips this year on a shot contest. But yes, I agree he’s a classy dude as well.

So Ellis is the type of player that would encourage injuring another player? I highly doubt that. There’s absolutely nothing hypocritcal about it. You should look up the definition for it. Ellis doesn’ t have much class as Crawford, no doubt but that doesn’t mean he is as classless as you, man.
You, sir, have less class than Ellis and some Jazz fans.

Still … you really need to chill out a bit. Wish as you might, Kobe is probably not going to blow out his knee in this playoffs; and with Yao out, the Rockets’ chances are now basically nil. Believe me, I’m (almost) as bummed about it as you. On the bright side, the way the Nuggets are playing, they could easily knock off the evil Laker empire; and even if they don’t, the Unstoppable LeBrons are almost certainly going obliterate the Bandwagon and send all of Faker Nation home crying. I think we can both agree that this is a very good thing. ;-)

I hope I don't think I need to get my eyes check
or another hearty lecture. But is Stephon Marbury always this terrible? Isn’t it illegal to pay $20 (ish) million to a player that sucks? (hey watching the games, he appears to be a backup PG, but evidently asides from having “stage freight” and a tiny spark in game #7 – was it? he isn’t that good. I wonder what the Celtic fans gots to say about him) And you guys say Jamal is bad….
LGW…still (you know you humans miss me typing that)

Man, can we just get over the playoffs in a jiffy so we can go on with the off season already. Can’t wait for next season.

that's stupid
that was NOT a flagrant 2 on artest

now, imagine if Artest grabbed Gasol’s arm and threw him into the scorer’s table.
how many games would he be suspended for? 35?

Rondo won't get nothing
But a pat on the back.
Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, or John Wall. A Warrior in 09.
With the 6th Pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the SF Giants pick Donovan Tate.
Andre Smith in Silver & Black in 2009.

Congrats to the JET and the Mavs Moneyball community.

GSW's Corey Maggette finished in 10th place with 2 2nd place votes and 1 3rd place vote. In a very difficult season props to him for assuming that role with class. Also props to Coach Don Nelson for selling him on the 6th man role, something that Mike Dunleavy Sr. could never do.](http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/45865/3476944404_a7fc2988a7_o_small.jpg)
