09 playoffs thread

i can't believe he throat slashed! i think artest views himself as a heel like in wwf except that he actually plays basketball - playing ball is just a means to the end of playing the crowd and everyone else against him

I am completely unsurprised by Kobe's throat-slash - who remembers when he used to go around doing this to everybody

the nuggs/mavs and atl/cle series seem like such jokes compared to the other two

hou/LA totally feels like the west finals

at some point in the first half i saw artest talking trash to jack nicholson XD

are u serious w/ that 'elbow' loool back to hater school for u

jeez doug don't sound so disappointed. kinda miss snapper jones, he used to fucking seethe at the lakers

so we got two sweeps and two game 7's, it's on

i can't believe he throat slashed

took it as him referencing what kobs just did to him, rather than what he's gonna do to kobs

yall missing an alltime good artest story

took it as him referencing what kobs just did to him, rather than what he's gonna do to kobs

yeah i realized this when they showed this post-game - i think him pointing at kobles threw me off

artest got a point, and fish should be suspended for obviousness

ya i think him looking over his shoulder beforehand is key

since when can you use an instant repay in-game to decide a flagrant foul ruling?

eject kobels from nba 4 lyfe!

make rafer alston go back to the mixtape team bus

name ron artest mvp of second round and of awesome hair cuts

otm on all accounts

btw marbury is shooting 27% for the playoffs - i just checked!

eddie house is shooting i believe 100% - good thing marbury was talking his minutes for most of the chicago series

With a little bit more work he'll be shooting as good as Rondo is

;)

rondo is averaging an octuple double for the playoffs

when rondo thinks "well i make crazy layups and get 15 assists a game and 12 rebounds surely i can make one jump shot eventually" *off the side of the rim* it's part of his charm right?

he was making those shots for most of the chicago series - now he is definitely not - sometimes he rondos u, sometimes he rondos himself \(O_O)/

I for one am very happy that House got bitchslapped

Player Dies in Stabbing at Basketball Game

A 19-year-old basketball player from Queens was fatally stabbed with a broken-off table leg today after a fight broke out during a basketball tournament, the police said.

The player, Lloyd Newton, was stabbed in the back with a leg from the scorer’s table at the championship game of a Y.M.C.A.-sponsored tournament at the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club, the police in Niagara Falls said.

“An argument ensued about the score,” Capt. Louis Curcione said, adding that one of the teams “thought they were getting gypped.”

“A fight broke out between the players and about 40 fans in the stands,” he said. “In the course of the fight, one person was stabbed in the back.”

Mr. Newton was taken to the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Brian C. Young, 16, of Niagara Falls, has been charged with second-degree murder. He was being held at the Niagara Falls jail pending his arraignment in city court today.

ok guys here's the thing

i just really fucking hate josh smith

that is all

when you play SF and people openly laugh at your jump shot, there might be an issue

i dunno i'd be against a player i liked doing that to one i didn't like. dumb move. and isn't a bitchslap face-to-face, which would make that a suckerpunchslap

Whatever it was, it was damn funny. Tired of House cavorting around and prancing like a gazelle after every damn shot he makes, acting as if he just hit a game winner. He is even more annoying to watch play than Sasha "THE MACHINE" Vujajajajacic.

Also I'll tell you who I am, but first I gotta know, are you really noted TV personality and celebrated psychologist Dr. Phillip Calvin McGraw

^yes. that shit was seriously annoying me last series. call me old skool but "act like you've done it before" spaz
xp

call u ol sore ass

love that the celtics are at the point that their bench players are hatable

how dare eddie house react to hitting 3 3s in a row like jokim noah after finishing an uncontested dunk - he should be more in the derick rose emotional leadership mold - the celtics overall should take a page from the chicago bulls wildly disparate uncoordinated emotional energy playbook - that after all was one of the key components of last years championship run and their best player the notably subdued kevin garnett

wtf are you talking about

how the celtics are awesome the bulls are dumb an u r wrong obv duh

house was reacting like that ON EVERY SHOT. like after the 1st one he made. in the 2nd quarter. but yeah, totally the same as joachim being pumped after stealing the ball, getting fouled and that fouling out the other team's star, and getting the lead in the 3rd OT of a must win game. great insight, mr cr?m.

i mean i know people have to make huge rationalizations for rooting for a team of douchebags, but c'mon

actually there's only a few d-bags on the c's, that was unfair
