And I'm a Boston fan. But KG being out kills the Celtics and they never should have let Posey go.

Boston wins it all!I like Boston, but Goddamn. They barely win when Rondo has a thoroughly ridiculous triple-double AND Allen scores 30 AND Rose has a quiet night? I'm feeling nervous about them winning the series, let alone the whole shebang.

Anyone else watching the celtics/bulls? In triple overtime at the moment, killer game.

Yeah I saw the OTs in that game. Ray Allen dropped 50-something but it wasn't enough.

I'm a little upset over the refs decision on Allen's 3 pointer which got called for 2. That call aside it was a great game, looking forward to saturday.

If the ref's werent blind Rondo would be in county jail on two counts of assault by now. I would not bitch about the ref's if I was a celtics fan heh.

Houston in 5

Nailed Cleveland, will nail Boston when they win Saturday, nailed Orlando, will nail Atlanta tonight, off by one on LA, off by one on Denver, off by one on Houston, and f'ed up SA.

Overall pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

Hey, the Hornets might still pull it out. It's a best of 9 series, right? :(

Watching the Gamecast of the Cavs up TWENTY FOUR POINTS in the third quarter, at what point do the Hawks just forfeit the series?

Also, htf does Kobe not get suspended for elbowing someone IN THE THROAT when Howard got suspended for a cheesy little UFC elbow?

Same reason why he's allowed to rape women and get away with it. He's Kobe.

They said the elbow hit the chest and also it was while going for a rebound which I guess makes a difference. Also helps to be a mega-star. Sucks to be Rafer Alston.

I liked how he knocked a little kid in an orlando jersey over inadvertantly after hitting the game winner....its nice that he could crush his dreams and his right arm simultaneously, thats what makes a good nba player great.

I didn't see that but I did see him mouthing off to someone, not sure who or what it was about. I was pretty surprised that he took the finally shot anyways, I figure they would have given it to House or Allen.

The NBA wont replay it because its a little too messed up, he literally throws a kid on the floor after he takes the shot but the TNT commentators had a field day with it. It was obviously an accident, he was running and threw an arm out to balance himself prolly expecting another basketball player to be on the sideline but it was a 10 year old boy lol.

Not that i'm complaining but the Orlando defense has crumbled in the last 2 minutes of this game.

Try the Orlando offense not scoring in the final what... 8 minutes? besides a few free throws...

Im looking forward to tonight, the denver/dallas series is the only one I am finding even remotely interesting. The Orlando/Celtics series is starting to look like the who gets to be eliminated by the cavs lottery and the lakers rockets series doesnt even make sense, the blows outs are so rediculous the games are boring and it makes you wonder if their just taking turns trying or something.

Unfortunately it's 3-1 and Denver is good so unlikely to get competitive.

I'm really hoping for LAL/DEN/CLE/BOS. Denver is good enough to make it a series and while I could see Boston getting swept, I could also see it being a great series like last year just because the Cavs are still fairly new to playoff pressure and the C's know how to win close games.

In the end though I want to see LeBron vs. Kobe, of course.

Baseball will get its time after the NBA Finals are over, but really with a 162 game season it's hard to get excited until the playoffs. I'm an equal opportunity sports fan so I'm happy most of the year.

Jan - NFL playoffs
Feb - Worst month
Mar - March Madness
Apr - NBA playoffs and a little excitement for MLB opening day
May - NBA playoffs
June - NBA playoffs
July - Sucks unless World Cup or Euro championships are on
August - Kind of sucks but hey it's nice outside
Sep-Dec - 12 hours of NFL football a week, NCAA football, MLB playoffs. October is a great month.

And then you have stuff like the Masters and tennis majors which can occasionally get interesting. The only mainstream sport I don't follow at all is hockey.

Surprisingly close through three rounds, but unless Orlando can do some actual magic I'd say Dr. Unne has left us saying "Lu....pa....?" Congrats! :D GO CLEVELAND LEBRONS

I'm amazed at how many series I nailed exactly. Got two more this round. Definitely been lucky.

The fact that Orlando made the finals sucks. I don't even want to watch it anymore. I and 99% of NBA fans were looking forward to seeing LeBron vs. Kobe, and now we get to watch the Magic return to being the shitty inexperienced team they are and get swept or lose in five.

Sucks that they decided to all of a sudden hit a boatload of lucky threes for 1.5 series.
