Just another black eye over these playoffs.

Looking forward to tonights game. Hopefully Boston doesn't blow them away like in Game 2.

That's kind of my point though. The refs are terrible, we all know this. So why give them a chance to blow the ball? If you're going to foul, make sure you foul him in an obvious fashion.

It was a blown call but Wright could have prevented it by wrapping Anthony up instead of swiping at him. Bad call and a bad play. I know how Mavs fans feel though after seeing Rondo demolish Miller across the face without a flagrant foul.

Every since the Donaghy scandal it makes you wonder sometimes doesn't it?

If Joey Crawford is clean, so is Jose Canseco. I mean c'mon... Isn't it obvious that the NBA is run by the mob? Every year, they get the best money match up in the finals. Last year, Boston and LA. This year, they want Kobe vs Lebron. Oh it's gonna happen.

Why do you watch then? Why not just flick on the WWE?

Big Baby's apology for bumping into the fat kid. His dad wanted an apology and he got it.

.

1 in 1000th? Are you kidding me? The Nugs probably would have had about a 45-50 percent chance to send it to OT or win.

Yeah that situation was just ridiculous, that dad is a *****. He called Big Baby a "Raging Animal" lol

This article rips on the kid and his dad, pretty funny.

I'm nervous right now...C Lee back starting tonight should give us a boost, though. So it's anyone's game tonight. I just want to get this thing going.

JJ is going to start. SVG wants Lee coming off the bench to shut down House and he said JJ plays better when he starts.

I hear you. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum as a Celtics fan, but I am very nervous right now between the Celtics and Bruins (brink of elimination). I just want the games to get here.

The series would've been 2-2. But who cares anyways...

Denver is the superior team. I bet they'll even beat the Lakers.

Chauncey is still the MAN. Detroit would've still been in this if he was still there.

Once every decade they have to allow for a cruddy match up. Just to keep the suspicion off their backs. But the mob still got what it wanted by making the refs extend it to a Game 7 series. hahaha.

Fun Fact: reruns of "that 70s show" had higher ratings then the finals of san antonio vs. cleveland.

It's a shame considering it was one of the better finals matchups of this decade.

you mean the detroit vs. spurs? yeah that was a good series with the exception of a flashy superstar on either end. true fundamental basketball at its finest.

Magic fans... what do you think about pursuing Kyle Korver in the offseason? He's an UFA. I think he could be one of those under the radar affordable players. He fits what we do. It a better shooter and player than Redick.

Definitely not the put us over the top kind of guy, but a good role player, imo.

hmm, that's awful news. ESPN said Lee was starting earlier, must have had it wrong. I want Lee playing close to 40 minutes.

Well, now I dont like our chances as much. Our team is missing Lee's offense. he should be starting, Redick hasnt done anything the last two games and he is lucky that Allen was missing wide open shots.

Why would you have doubts there? What gives you the impression that Lebron doesn't want to, or won't work to constantly improve? The way he improved his overall defense, 3 pt shooting, FT's, and overall game in just a year should say alot about the type of work ethic he has.

Still like I said it's not just all about stats, Lebron would have to lead his team to win multiple rings, that's what makes you great, and right now it's hard to see Lebron winning as many MVP's and Finals as Jordan won...Lots of things would have to go his way for that to happen.

Anyways I'm ready for a great night of basketball :D

Yeah, the playoffs are stressful.

Any word on Scalabrine yet? If he isnt there, Rashard should have no problem all night.
