now where will i get my DAILY MUMBO ;_;

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

i mean that 2 post moves is still 2 more than just about anyone not named tim/kg/yao...he definitely is a good shooter and i always forget that he's good with the off hand too until i see him lay it up. at some point tho the injury thing just has to be a real part of the calculation and could boozer really be the #2 on a championship team? seems like a great #3 to me maybe, esp given his defense

when the playoffs started i decided that houston was gonna win it all this year but the mumboless rockets... d*mn. i just dont know anymore

i love dikembe. i remember when he burst onto the scene the dude looked like he would be a big scorer but instead ended up being a sick, sick defender and a guy who simply held his own offensively against every other center of his prime era. probably a HOFer, right?

I'd say it's likely. 4-time defensive play of the year. 8-time all-star. plus his georgetown career and his humanitarian/outreach efforts.

2nd in all-time blocks.

Also probably the only baller invited to be commended at the state of the union address. (lol bush etc)

LOL

So uh I haven't watched a Philly game all year. . . this was a .500 team, right? What the heck is going on with Orlando?

Yeah, but they seem like a team that played poorly due more to youth/injuries than a lack of talent.

I just assumed that with Brand hurt for the entire year they were just so-so. Basketball Prospectus thinks Iguodala is very unsung btw http://www.basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=649

dude has steadily improved his game

i sing iguodala def

i sing iguodala electric

dwayne wade has sung 13 straight points

howard fould out 3 mins left magic by 5

lol the hawk perched on the backboard

btw did anyone realize theo ratliff is playing basketball - the 1st couple times i heard the commentator say his name i was all lol dude this is not y2k yr thinking of dalembert

lol @ ratliff - nba 2k4 all star 4 sure

yall wade is going in

Yeah I didn't realize that either til recently - kinda ironic that this will be his first postseason with the Sixers.

Er wait, cross out what I just said.

ha yeah i think he was on the finals team

Hah, no, that was what got me confused - my biggest memory of Theo Ratliff is him being an integral part of the 00-01 Sixers team, then getting traded at the break for MUUUUUTOOOOMBO so that the Sixers could deal with Shaq.

I forgot that he was also a part of the previous two Sixers teams who got walked all over by the Pacers.

ah its all coming back now

a rush of mediocre meaningless memories

peja is a ~*GAME 2 SNYPA*~

man nuggs are cookin'

Billups is ridiculously good.

whoda thought chauncey id be pwnin paul

He has completely dominated smaller faster pgs in the past, but yeah this is a bit of a shock. Does Billups have like the weirdest career arc ever?

69 minutes played and zero turnovers is just silly btw.

2nd most points in playoffs w/o a turnover. one guess who's #1...

SUP

as much as i'm tempted to kick some cp3 stans while you're down, i think that paul will have a huge game 3
