lol xp
lol @ the inevitable media freakout today because marbury scored 12 points.
score when he entered the game in the 4th: 69-59 magicscore when he left the game in the 4th: 85-75 magic
he was -6 for the game. i guess some credit is due for keeping the second unit in it but turkoglu and tony battie (!) were doing similar damage to the c's over the same stretch.

Somewhere Shaq is laughing at SVG right now
Why would this be? Stan Van Gundy is in the playoffs.

I just checked the regular-season final standings. In fairness, The Suns were just two games out of the No. 8 spot in the West, and the difference between them and the team ranked below them (Golden State) was 17 games.(n.1) So The Suns were a pretty good team.
___________________________(n.1) Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but The Suns were also 10 games better than the No. 9 team in the East (Indiana).

suns had they employed alvin gentry as coach all season and not gotten so injured wouldve been formidable

Just referencing the barbs Shaq threw at SVG earlier this year, calling him someone who panics easily and can't control his team. So far, the Magic have blown three leads in this series, and they've already let a Philly team take them to 6 games. Sure the Magic are a young team with not a lot of playoff experience between all the players, but you gotta think that they would have learned how to keep a lead by now. Their offense yesterday during the C's 4th quarter run was really quite atrocious - you have to think that if Pop or Jackson were coaching with that kind of a lead they would have been able to keep it.

"And one thing I really despise is a front-runner, so I know for a fact that he's a master of panic, and when it gets time for his team to go in the postseason and do certain things, he will let them down because of his panic. I've been there before, I've played for him."

Although the more I think about it, it may not entirely be SVG's fault. It's becoming obvious that the players have come to distrust SVG's decision making come crunch time, as evidenced by Dwight's "coach is nervous" comment after the game. If the players are already ready to throw the coach under the bus, then there's not much he can do.

fuck that, the magic don't deserve to beat the c's. if cleveland wrecks them i don't really care, i'll be rooting for the lebrons in the finals.

yeah but i've had like two full series of close calls to make peace with that. it's not like the cavs aren't deserving, they got the best player on the planet and the right complimentary pieces. they aren't even really douchebags either. i honestly like over half of their players.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 17:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Denver/Cavs would be tough because I like pretty much everyone on both teams. Lakers make a better villain team, and a good series needs a villain I think.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 17:24 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, tbh i would still support cavs cause from a dues-paying perspective they deserve a ring.

i like cavs but find their style of play sort of boring and utilitarian

I kind of agree. He's mostly better than everyone else in such a predictable consistent way. Plus he seems so good-natured most of the time. He could stand to shit-talk a little more.

Say it ain't so. They've got some quality guys on that team, and one dude is the best player in the league who we all cheer for, despite not wanting to allow him anywhere near our girlfriends/ daughters/ female friends.

Wait, so Lakers fans don't know that they're the only people in the world that don't despise the lakers absolutely? That's kind of weird to me.

The whole Kobe v. LeBron thing is really kind of unprovable, either way. Therefore, with no danger of being proven wrong, I wade in fearlessly and re-assert that Kobe is the best.
I don't despise myself for being a Lakers fan. I like the team, I like the franchise, I like the fact that a whole lot of native Angelenos (like, born & raised) have been fans since birth, I like the history of the franchise, and fuck, I live here, and never had an NBA team that I was attached to before - other than a short contrarian run as a Knicks fan, simply to counter the Bulls fans of the early to mid 90s.
So, yeah...Go Lakers!
