NBA Playoffs time!

[Shadd]

LeBron = MVP

 

 

 

Not only is he a scorer, but he is a team player overall. This guys avg: 31.4pts, 7 reb, 6.6 assists. I mean he truely is a team player not just an Iverson or Nowitzki (sp?) as somone has mentioned. An MVP can't just be a scorer, there alot of scorers out there that are good, but Lebron makes his team mates look good. His triple-double in his first ever post game is just amazing, only done by MJ. He brought Cavs back from nothing. He shares, he scores, he rebounds, he does everything, and he does it good. That's an MVP.

 

 

 

long live the king

 

 

 

 

That's a nice pic or clip shall I say. The kids got major talent, can't knock his work ethic.

On another note, I cant believe the Pacers beat the Nets, that foul call at the end was BS.

 

 

 

BS or not, it did look like AJ got hit by someone ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

I wonder what Lebron will do tonight, it should be exciting to see what he does to follow up that triple double. He pretty much is the most exciting player to watch in the playoffs.

[dymed]

Anyone catch Wade last night? That kid is just ridiculous. Especially in the fourth quarter, those two blocks out of nowhere. And his floaters. His game is just so pretty. :P

Lebron sucked today = Cavs lost.

 

 

 

As much as I hate to admit it, i don't think we going to win this series, cause Cavs have had problems with the Wizards all year long. :cry: :cry: :cry: I so wish we can pull through though.

[vladmoney]

anyone see Game 3? now that was a close game.

[dymed]

Very close. The Suns @ Lakers game was pretty close too. Biggest lead by either team was 8 points.

 

 

 

And then of course, there was the dramatic Spurs @ Kings game. Kevin Martin evading Tim Duncan and driving to the basket for the biggest shot of his life as time expired to give the Kings the 94-93 win.

 

 

 

Amazing games so far. :D

[SickTwisted]

I dont know if anyone watched that Lakers-Suns game earlier but Im starting to think its rigged. Nash was clearly calling a timeout AND he was getting fouled at the same time. So it should of either been Nash going to the line or the Suns inbounding it again. Not to mention the fact that the Lakers shouldnt even of been able to put it into overtime. I dont know what the hell some of these refs are thinking but the league needs to fire them. Ive seen it time and time again, the Lakers somehow make a miracle comeback! Kobe somehow puts the shot in and the Lakers win! The Lakers are all too lucky and it really makes me mad sometimes because I absolutely cannot stand Kobe. So if anyone watched the game please comment on what you thought of it. I would also like to see what a Laker fan thinks of all these lucky calls.

I'm not a Lakers fan or anything, but I do have them winning this series. About the fouling of Nash in overtime, I don't think there was one. It was a pretty physical play, but from all the replays I've seen it looks clean. Nash himself said that he wasn't fouled.

 

 

 

And about the time-out, that's a very tough call. Even after all the replays from so many different angles, it's hard to tell whether Nash actually signaled time. He was definitely screaming it, but that doesn't matter. One thing for certain, he was most definitely not clearly calling time-out. And even if he was, the only angle to be sure about it was from the stands as there were players around him on every other side. I am pretty critical of refs myself, but I don't think they had much choice on this one. Acknowledging a time-out requires that they clearly see the signal, and there was no way you could expect them to have done that in this scenario.

 

 

 

Even with all the talk about Kobe and whether he's a ballhog or whatever, no one can deny that he is one of the greatest players to ever play basketball. His personal life is his personal life, and whether you like him as a person is a different story. He is the single best player in the NBA right now. And in this series, the Lakers are really playing like a team; Kobe isn't the only name on the statsheets. They may be getting some lucky calls, but meh, that's just how it goes sometimes. I haven't seen anything blatantly in their favor yet though.

 

 

 

But you want to talk about bad calls, anyone see game 3 of the Cavs-Wizards series? Wow, what a travel by Lebron James in his game-winning drive. :P

Your saying the Lakers get lucky calls SOMETIMES? You know how many lucky calls they had to get to even put it into overtime. Now if you have watched basketball over the last few years then you will know that Kobe and the Lakers get about the best calls in the game. Now if that had been Kobe trying to call a timeout he would of went BALLISTIC if they hadnt called a foul or said he called a timeout. Think about it. Also you do know that alot of centers use that little switch of the pivit foot that LeBron did, its widely used in the NBA. You also have to remember that the NBA is entertainment and not all about basketball. Of course Steve Nash said he didnt get fouled, if you talk back about the calls that the refs didnt make, boom 25 grand out of your pocket. Yea maybe Kobe is the best player in the NBA right now, but I think that LeBron will be better than him. I mean look at his power, people are in awe that his body is the body of a 21 year old. I dont know if you have seen his "youngest player to..." list yet but it goes on and on and on. He is more of a team player than Kobe is. Even if Kobe has the ability to score more look at the way LeBron plays and his confidence. All Kobe can do is drive and complain, sure LeBron complains but look at some of these calls against him. He gets an offensive foul against him because the guy is so close to him he cant even move his elbows, now thats bs. I dont know if you saw from the angle I saw but there were two referees just sitting there looking STRAIGHT AT NASH. Even Charles Barkley said himself some of these refs swallow the whistle because they dont want to call something against a super-star. Have you ever heard this people say "well if he hadnt of been a rookie he would of gotten that call" why is that? If its a foul its a foul, there shouldnt be any controversy. As for right now I think these refs call alot of things in favour of the home team. But you cant say anything about it because you will get hammered with a fine. Also I dont know if you saw what Kobe was doing after the game when he made the winning shot but he looked like a complete idiot.

Yes, it is used a lot, but it is also called fairly often. Also, they are usually more discreet than what LeBron did. And just because it makes it more entertaining doesn't mean it should be ignored, at least not when it's so blatant like that. Besides, if it's up to the refs to make the game more entertaining, then there should be no argument over whether Nash called time-out or not. Barring biased Lakers and Suns fans, people would much rather see a dramatic game winning shot by Kobe Bryant than someone on the Suns inbound the ball and hold it for a win. It was definitely more entertaining this way. :P

 

 

 

I saw Barkley say that too (TNT, yay). But I think he was talking about LeBron in that case, not Nash. Either way, it's true. It shouldn't be, but it is and there isn't much that can be done about it. :?

 

 

 

About LeBron though, I agree. I see him becoming the best player in the NBA within the next 5 seasons. I'd even go so far as to say he'll become the next Jordan. :o

But thats exactly my point. The refs called jump ball and it made the game so much more entertaining for fans all around the world. Thats exactly what they want to happen, they want it to be the talk of the town. It is also pretty pathetic because thats what I think it comes down to. I would say more about this subject but since I dont know if its true or not it would make me look like a fool.

 

 

 

Also when you think about it, Jordan did not get called for alot of travels or pushoffs even though he did them regularly, thats what kind of treatment superstars get, as pathetic as that is.

[azntemplar_00]

Both Nash and his teammate Boris Diaw tried to call timeout ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

[SickTwisted]

I dont know if any of you watched the Phoenix game but the intensity was over the roof. Raja Bell got ejected for clotheslining Kobe, then Kobe got ejected for talking back to a ref. He and Bell had already gotten a technical each for getting into it with eachother. Basically, Phoenix was looking to hammer and get the bloodthursty offense going and thats just what they did. All you people who think the Lakers are gonna take this one watch out, the pressure is on the Lakers. This next game is at LA and if the Lakers dont win it then they have to go to a game seven at Phoenix and I guarentee thats something you definatly do NOT want to do. If anyone saw what Steve Nash said afterwords tell me your thoughts. Ive never heard him say the type of things he said. They asked him if he thought that Raja Bell would get suspended for game 6 and he said he wasnt worried because with all the bad calls the league has been making that if they want to start kicking Phoenix's players out of the game thats fine. I think he is fed up with all this Kobe BS. He also commented on how Kwame Brown elbowed Boris Diaw in the chest and stood over him "with his croch in his face" . I think Phoenix is out to draw blood and look forward to the rest of this series.

Yeah, I mean, you would think something like that would warrant a suspension ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

How about Tim Thomas. This guy is for real. He only played in three of the regular season games but this man is a beast. I think he had 21 points, 10 rebounds AND the shot that saved the Suns playoff hopes. The Phoenix crew that you have seen in the last two games is the #1 offense in the regular season. They are doing everything well, and if your the Lakers, you are not going to outscore Phoenix. I swear from the angle that you could see Kobe's potential game-winning shot about to go in, but it turned out to be an airball. I think these playoffs are the most exciting in the past 5 years or so. There are alot of good teams and good competition. But Tim Thomas was absolutely outstanding today. Props to the Suns and I hope they can steal the series in game 7 at Phoenix. Keep in mind Raja Bell has been resting this whole time and he plays defense on Kobe.

[Alduron]

Was an awesome game tonight, the Suns sure played their hearts out.

 

 

 

Some of those shots on both teams were amazing.

 

 

 

Gooooo Suns! :D

 

 

 

~Alduron

[Bmw]

Yeah! Suns are still alive!!!! :P :P :P

 

 

 

Too bad Chicago got knocked off thought...you know that everyone wanted to see Miami get eliminated...deep down, you knew it, and you wanted it too.

 

 

 

Spurs and Cavs play tonight...hopefully they can both get the job done, although somehow I doubt that the Cavs will. I really want them to advance though!

[azntemplar_00]

Seems like Kobe has forgotten the teamwork that got the Lakerse 3 victories :lol:

[Artist]

^lol

 

 

 

 

 

I'd like to see the Suns go all the way though. 8-)
