Wow, just a brutal game last night. I was kind of pulling for the Cavs since I can’t stand Boston and it’s AMAZING how bad these two coaches are…

I mean Doc Rivers…it’s not what he does, it’s what he DOESN’T do. Ray Allen couldn’t shoot and doesn’t defend…why is he still in there? Worse, they have Leon Powe, PJ Brown, Tony Allen, and Eddie House all on their bench. These guys aren’t world beaters but they can all defend and could provide an offensive spark. They had this successful rotation ALL year that worked and the second the playoffs started, Doc has gone away from it. Even worse, he’s in love with Cassell though, for once, Sam’s me-first shooting helped them last night.

Then we have Mike Brown who is a FANTASTIC defensive coach, especially against teams who play in the half-court yet this guy desperately needs an offensive coordinator. For the millionth time, WHY IS LEBRON BRINGING UP THE BALL!!!?? Chris Webber and Charles Barkley were wondering the same thing on the post-game. I thought the pickup of Delonte West would be a good idea since he could run point and drive and dish to LeBron who would be single-covered but they’ve basically just used West as yet another shooting guard. I don’t get it. With LeBron on the key, the Celts were able to put four guys in zone to keep him from driving the ball which is easily his biggest strength.

Ug…the Cavs totally had that game and blew it due to their retarded offense. Between Mike Brown, Doc Rivers and Flip Saunders I don’t think we’ve ever seen three worse coaches for three talented teams. The only good one left is Stan Van Gundy and he just doesn’t have the players to be successful.

Of course, kudos to Garnett for FINALLY coming through with some clutch plays that actually involved him going to the basket and not firing up 18-footers. Let’s see him do it more than once now.

It was a fun game for a defense-nut like me but just painful to watch the bad coaching. Even with the poor shooting, LeBron should be used FAR better than he is.

What the?
Half of these look like Rasheed Wallace.
Some look like Drew Gooden.
One even looks like Tim Duncan.

#183

Good point.

In my almost 3 years here I still don’t know how to highlight a link, copy it, and paste it in between something.

::slight_smile:

It’s this computer, damnit!

Well, here’s the link:

Lines around the block at each Papa Johns I have seen since 10 this morning.

Yowza!!

#187

That’s a sweet promotion Will.

I’m counting down the days till May 20th when hopefully a small miracule will occur by having the Pacers winning the draft lottery. Highly unlikely, but this draft looks stacked to begin with so they should end up with a good pick unless the Hick from the sticks screws it up.

#188

WITNESS!

#189

The C’s will split in Cleveland and win game 5 in Beantown to take the series 4-1.

The Spurs finally woke up, thank gawd.

Lakers might sweep.

Pistons are in for a series w/o Billups. Might go 7.

#190

Yes yes… we all saw the Wizards lose for the third year in a row.

Didn’t think you would want to bring that up…

#191

^^Chauncy will be back, OH YES, he WILL be back

#192

I think the series will go six games, Orlando wins tomorrow, we win back here on Tuesday and we win game 6 back in Orlando

#193

The rumors say that they’re going to get him ready for Saturday.
I almost wish he takes Game 4 off if he’s still hurting. Even without Chauncey I think we can still take the Magic but there’s no way we get further than that even if he’s only 75%. This situation gives me nightmares of 2003 when an injured Chauncey tried to play against the Nets in the Finals and it was just pathetic since he couldn’t do it. We NEED a healthy Chauncey if we’re to have any chance against Boston. If we have to leave him out of Game 4 to do that then so be it.

I don

#194

Somebody tore they sack!

#195

I did indeed laugh when I saw the replays.

I can’t wait to see the Cassell vs. Billups matchup.

It’s like E.T. vs. Barbaro on a basketball court.

#196

Just so you know, most of the time I type these when I’m lunch when I’m not on the clock so I’m not getting paid.

And seriously…if you’re that pissed that you need to constantly delete my posts, then I’ll stop ripping on your precious Bulls. Clearly it’s pissing you off in some way where delete my posts and just take shots at me without even commenting on basketball at all. Heck, I won’t even mention them anymore. Okay?

Sheesh…

I think he was referring to Chauncey’s injury when he did the splits.

#198

Them Boston fellas are good on the road.

#199

LOL. Somebody needs to remove thy stick from thy arse!

#200

C’mon girl don’t be like that. You see guys horse around and like to bust balls by doing childish shit to each other on the internet. Some of you chics on this site are way too sensitive!
