09 playoffs thread

hes a pretty ridiculous scorer tho - hits a ton of tough shots

Well someone will overpay for that this overseason, I am sure.

his most amazing talent though is being able to keep the ball all to himself on a 3on1 break.

normally id agree but w/economic realities being what they are theres no way hes coming close to the $50m he was offered in the off season xp

i figure this series will go six games and the celts will lose in 5 to whatever team they're playing next.

philly or orlando? i dunno they might eke it out

orlando could beat them esp. if their frontline is perkins, big baby and mikki moore

orlando is def the fav against these depleted c's

rolling scrub big men threaten guards who went off last game

jaron collins ;_;

Sorry bro

sick dunk by odom, geeez

gonna be a long night

Sad to see motumbo go down

rip jazz

powe is out for the rest of the season :(

aw :/

four lakers in double figures in the first half, kobe w/ 8

Lakers having their way

Meanwhile there's a good game going on in Portland.

rondo is real life and fantasy league gold but it's going to take like 30-10-20-5 games from him the rest of the way to lose in five or six in the second round

gordon def won't find 50mil on the ground this season but theres always some dippy gm watching his team lose by 5 every night and going that guy can score like kobe...we need that

in the same way that someone will see that boozer has two post moves and throw 6 years at him even if it's 8-9 mil instead of 12-13 per this time

anyway this is the playoff thred...who is shannon brown and when did farmar end up on the back of the milk carton

i do like shannon brown in the trade btw

you know how in some countries when a soccer player blows a game badly they end up murdered... just sayin

haaa

who is shannon brown

he was like a super athletic SG for michigan state who kinda got lost in the league but hung around cuz he's athletic as fuck but now he's got a decent all around offensive game and plays D well - came from the bobcats iirc

boozer really lost something w/ this last injury - can't go left like he used to, no hops, even slower on defensive changes. hard to tell if its temporary or whether it's something that will come back after an off-season

i think he and maurice ager have sort have been the same person in my mind until recently xp

The Oregonian quotes Dikembe Mutombo: "I'm going to need surgery. For me, basketball is over. I cried so much about it when I was laying on the floor."

sorry deke :( i was not happy watching you crumple on the floor in agony tonight fwiw.

The bit at the end where Ariza nailed the three and then high-fived Jack Nicholson was one of the coolest things ever.

awww damn dikembe. he went down swinging man

hope powe gets better. not concern trolling, that dude is tough.

this actually looks really good

powe = torn acl

you know this is the worst thing after microfacture .for example Arenas got himself a torn acl, and two years whitout playing too..

re shannon brown - the complete collapse of the lakers pg rotation has been pretty much swept under the rug by their dominant season but damn inserting a scrub like that so late in the year on a team this good where it not an injury issue is unheard o -. i can understand fisher declining cause of his age but wtf happened happened to farmar he looked like he was ready to make major progress this year

and everyone hating on boozer hes a flawed player sure and def still slow coming back from injury but hes 27-9 20-10 so far this series - i mean the jazz got issues and boozer isnt near the top of the list

Brown is kind of the prototypical Jackson PG though (he's never loved those quick little guards.) We'll see Farmer (who has been hurt) more when the Lakers face Paul or Parker, I'm guessing.

in the same way that someone will see that boozer has two post moves and throw 6 years at him even if it's 8-9 mil instead of 12-13 per this time

i mean this is just ignorant - cbooze scores from everywhere and is completely ambidextrous around the basket - he is vv hard to defend

his big problem is that he cant stay healthy - that and his defense sucks - needs to be paired w/a big stopper @ center

Those are pretty big problems. Still I don't think Utah'll be better if he leaves this off-season.

yeah the health thing would be deal breaker for me if i was thinking of signing him - defense can be worked with

anyway thte jazz major problems at the moment imo

1 theyre playing the lakers
2 okur is out and jarron collins is starting
3 so many injuries this season they never got a chance to jell
