I think that's about right.

Crazy how injuries have really affected these payoffs. My Heat are looking mortal now that Wade isn't his normal self. Westbrook for the Thunder, Rondo for the Celtics, Rose for the Bulls. And San Antonio probably doesn't even get out of the first round if it wasn't for the injury to Kobe. Don't know if I remember a time when injuries had such a big impact on the NBA playoffs.

I gotta admit that I'm rooting for the Birdman to get a ring. I love how that guy plays, but it's going to be a tough series with Wade less than 100%, and the Spurs rested and playing so well ...should be a great series !

Great game tonight.

Would like to see Timmy D earn another ring before he retires.

I'm also here to eat my serving of crow for my doubts about Chicago.

How do Leafs fans feel about what's transpired with Boston?
 
Heat 77 - Spurs 113. Texas ass whoopin' all over Florida.
 
Clippers/Lakers/Celtics rumoured to be in trade talks.

To Boston - DeAndre Jordan, cash and 2 1st rounds picks from Clips.
To Clips - Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers
To Lakers - Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe

Boston would supposedly buy out Pierce and he would also sign with the Clips.

Rondo/Jordan/Green/Bradleyis a solid core to build around. They also have that guy from OSU whose name escapes me. Getting out of KG and PP contracts is a huge deal too.

I think the Clips are getting desperate to make sure they keep Paul. That would be a dangerous team though. Crazy dangerous.

Fuck Blake Griffin, but him and Bledsoe for D12 would be sooo much better than letting him walk.

Another interesting albeit unlikely scenario is LA amnestying Kobe and signing D12 and Chris Paul.

Oh...Tony Parker might tear his hamstring any second now. God dammit.

I spent a few years in San Antonio when George Gervin, James Silas, Larry Kenon and Dave Corzine andArtis Gilmore were there. Always liked the Spurs. I think LeBron is the best in the game. Really don't care who wins the series, but one thing I do know is I will never root for Wade. He will have a great Game 6 cuz he will turn it on. Such a drama queen. Phenomenal talent, but this Jeckyll and Hyde crap is old.

Definately going to be a crazy offseason, i will be watching all these possibilities unfold with GREAT interest.

come on spurs, only one more!

Great game by the Spurs,,,Green was unconcious from downtown, but, for the Heat, the inspirational leader Birdman made a DNP by Spoelstra in a critical finals Game 5 swing game...:wtf:...:facepalm: ...it's going to be an interesting summer for Erik on South Beach if the Heat don't bounce back to win the series.

I remember all those names except for Kenon. And didn't Gilmore play in the old ABA for the San Antonio team with the red,white and blue basketball ? I used to have one as a kid.

I believe Gilmore played in the ABA but I don't think it was with the Spurs. He got to Spurs late in his career. I was at a game when Kenon scored 50 or 52. Toward the end of the game, as he got closer to 50, he didn't even run down the court to play defense. At the time, I thought it was so cool he got 50. Today, I am sure he would be blasted for getting it so cheaply and for not being a team player.

Remembering Gervin's finger-rolls....ah. Poetry in motion.
 
Just a weird series. I would like to come in here and drop some basketball knowledge, but I really cant because I don't know what's going to happen. Every game has been different, and different players seem to step up every night. Last night was probably the worst defense I've seen the Heat play. We're pretty much making Danny Green a superstar.

I should feel good that my Heat are going to be playing at home, but I don't. I'm really fucking worried.

Nice to see my boy DWade playing some good basketball for a change. He's still not the DWade of old (should be getting to the line a lot more), but this level of play is why I still feel we can get this done.

Lets go Heat!
 
anybody watchin' this god damn spurs, heat game???? holy rabies....

:pacing:

I remember Gervin's nickname ''the iceman'' i think. You are right about Gilmore, he played for Kentucky in the ABA. Leave it to Google. Sometimes my memory serves me correctly but most times not ha.
