reg season chat 08-09 featuring where u go now ai

"Still, I am sure it bruised their pride more than a bit to have fallen apart in the final minutes (which they did)."

I doubt it. Second game of a back-to-back on the road. Even if there had been something to play for it would have been a tough game to win.

bs, lakers lost to a tough team, they'll need way more focus from here on out. this week officially just a bynum watch now, eh.

wau 31-9 cavs end of 1st quarter

Didn't realize the Cavs were 39-1 at home this year. Wow.

cavs are v good - 48 mins of lebron a nite is super unstoppable

slaughtered. allen and rondo might as well have sat out the game D:

Ledron taking the whole Celtics team with him to the basket flex move and one was redic!

Tempers boiled in the third quarter when Cavs forward Anderson Varejao and Allen got tangled under the basket after a free throw.

Varejao flung Boston's guard to the floor, and Allen responded with a well placed elbow into the forward's groin area. Both players jawed at each other before getting technical fouls.

"It was a dirty play," Allen said. "He locked my arm and threw me to the ground. I wasn't going to allow him to think he could do whatever he wanted. I'm always going to stand up for myself. It's one thing for a team to be beating us, but they're not going to walk all over us."

The frizzy-haired Varejao had his own take.

"You don't hit a man in his [groin]," he said. "He doesn't like Brazilians or he doesn't like my hair."

haha waht

or he doesn't like my [groin]

"You don't hit a man in his [groin]," he said

He learned nothing from this incident then.

i for one don't like varejao's sideshow bob hair

Post-game from POR/LAL on Friday:

I concur, Kobles!

kobles!

ray allen suspended! i hope varejao gets aids in his [groin]

"The Rockets tried to clear things up for their players Tuesday, giving them a two-sided sheet of paper with all the various playoff scenarios. With so much left to sort out, at least one player planned to ignore the handout.

"I'm going to go home and have a paper-airplane fight with my wife. That's what I'm going to do with that piece of paper. It means nothing," forward Shane Battier said. "We've got to go to Dallas, we've got to play well and we've got to win."

Oh Battierpaws.

Ray Allen can afford a suspension. And it won't affect the Celtics playoff seed, either. So I am pretty sure he's satisfied and would do it again in the same circumstances. During the playoffs would have been much worse timing.

<3 varejao

going at a dudes balls is really not that cool ray fyi - the crowd reaction to the replay is priceless tho

They say that half of the game is 90% mental.

so anyways looks like cavs are gonna break the nba record of highest # of home games won - only halftime now but up 49-37 over philly YUP YUP

they are going totie the record right

nah i thought they tied it the other night

its my understanding that a few teams have gone 40-1 @ home

oh wait yea ur right

hey hey look whos got a double double in the third quarter - my friend leon powe! back from injury - that is truly heartening - c's best bench player fyi for those who dont follow them closely

yo tony allen is playing too this is nuts - notably absent is one kevin garnett - not feeling to great abt these playoffs dudes

u in boston? cavs are obv. my team but i live in western MA now so c's are up there. tho cavs def have a better chance i think.

im moving to boston this fall tho

i live in ny - grew up in newton tho

where r u moving

not sure yet - maybe cambridge or j plain

i used to live in jp - pretty sweet imo

justin.tv aint what it used 2 b

troo

just realized i get like the whole wizards season on local cable. lucky me rite?

is pierce out just for rest ?

in simmons' column today he was talking real apocalyptic about KG

dude has played a lot of games - they all have - theyre super old

lol @ birdman's faux-hawk tonite

could not be happier with how this season ended 4 the spurs (thank u rockets 4 being u)

heh nuggs are getting destroyed

Spurs win division because of refs in Sacramento game.

fuckin PUMPED for this, bringing my A game to the Rose Garden this weekend.

I'm happy for you Portland types, and I think you might win the series.

But Battier, Hayes, Landry, Lowery, Brooks, and Scola were a fun team to support this year.

joseph, you're got some tickets? I think I'll be going to any and all the games at the garden. Tonight was crazy. Portland crowds have become like a bunch of college kids whose unheard of school just made it to the final four.

*you've got, obv. I am delirious with ripcity fever.

Split season tickets with three other dudes, drew names from a hat for playoffs, my name came out first so I get game 1.

i'm trying to come up with a good solution for watching the road games with a good-sized crowd but like still be able to hear the in-game commentary. i can't just forgo listening to reggie miller be completely asinine on the big stage.

so cavs lost in overtime against philly last night......no record-tying. kind of a bummer

rumors now going around that kg will miss the entire playoffs. not really a shocka at this point but rip celts.
