i'm so sick of people going for layups and landing on their backs. it's the gayest thing ever. they are just making the season that much harder on their bodies.
also, i can't believe the lack of defense on the suns' part. i know they aren't a defensive team, but they let parker do anything he wanted the entire 2nd half. they were just terrible. |

he had a fellow giant friend of his that was playing on my team (i think he was some college football player) who guarded him. amare was nice though. he was passing a lot and picking and stuff and every now and then he would just run in and do a crazy dunk whenever he felt like it. pretty fun game though lol. |

well i did say that it might not be overrated when talking about a rookie in his first big game/series. but for guys that have been around a while but haven't gone deep in the playoffs (garnett, gasol, etc.) it is a non-factor imo. |

| while this CLE WAS series might go 7 eventually it's not going to be a good series if every fucking game is a blowout. |

the game was just a joke. it's kinda funny how cleveland won by 30 in game 2, and then washington comes back and wins by 36 or whatever it was. the cavs just looked pathetic in every aspect of the game. i couldn't even bring myself to watch parts of it. |

only saw a few minutes of this game unfortunately. looked like a good one too.
houston is just TRYING to give this game away. up 7 late in 4th. miss. utah hits 3. mcgrady with stupid offensive foul. okur hits a 3. rockets up 1 with somewhere around a minute left. |

| Um, why do NBA coaches know the least about NBA strategy? Scola should not have made that second free throw with .2 seconds left. WTF was he thinking? |

Clock management in basket ball is retarded at all levels. This is like Memphis not fouling at the end of the kansas game. |

this is another one that can probably be put on the player (derrick rose). remember he was going for the foul, then pulled his hands off and put them in the air almost as if he was afraid to.
some of it could just be bad coaching though. |

BOTH of those teams showed tonight why neither will win the NBA champ. this year.
Awful/horrible execution/shot selection down the stretch.
T-Mac is lolbad in the 4th qtr, and Addelman needs to be shot if those are the plays he draws up. I don't know how in the world Okur gets left wide open for 3 when everyone knows he's a 6'11" shooting-guard or how in the world D-Williams missed Boozer TWICE (wide the fuck open) on the final possession.
On top of all of that Scola somehow makes the 2nd FT which is the only way HOU could have possibly lost.
hard to watch that ugly of basketball, UTAH makes the game a brawl, somehow shoots 30+ FT's on their home court, and still manages to lose. |

They looked really bad, kept taking ill advised three pointers and missing them. Also Howard was a little bit out of control. He got three offensive fouls in the third quarter. |
