you guys, this is crazy. when billups is the leading scorer, the pistons are 3-0 in the playoffs this year. that means that in future games (not including this one cause hes out) they should let billups shoot it every time to ensure that hes leading scorer, and then they will win every time!

by this logic, wouldn't most teams just play their 5 starters for 48 minutes?

there's only so much a human body can do before performance starts to suffer. even when said person is an incredibly well conditioned professional athlete.

I still don't know how the Pistons won that game.

How can the Celtics be this bad on the road?

Lol for real. They don't even look like the same team on the road.

Unfortunately, I can't see them losing at home except vs detroit or one of the west teams.

ray allen and paul pierce have pretty much been no shows so far. i actually disagree with you lukie. i think detroit has a very good chance of beating boston, assuming they advance. detroit has proven they can win on the road and boston has proven they cant. however, i think by that time pierce and allen will start to show up.

anybody watch the games today? I blame Luke Walton for killing any momentum his team had in the last 3-4 minutes when he got the shit blocked out of him by some bench player cause he was taking an afternoon stroll on a fast break layup that should have been a dunk.

in other news, SPURS

wow i just looked at the box score of the lakers game and i saw why they lost:

Kobe Bryant: 13/33 FG's; 1/10 3PT FG's

i actually have no idea cause i didnt watch teh game, and he was close to having a triple double, but those numbers really jumped out at me.

there's only so much a human body can do before performance starts to suffer. even when said person is an incredibly well conditioned professional athlete.

with all the destruction of their bodies from slamming themselves to the floor (flopping) every time down the court, i could see it taking a toll on their bods heavily. since that won't ever change then i guess it does make sense to rest them.

absent that though, i don't see a good reason why all 5 starters shouldn't be able to play the whole game without getting tired. this is their freaking profession, and they should be conditoned way better than they are. they should never be bent over sucking air after a play.

jazz shot 20 more free throws. lakers only made 14/25, and jazz made 37/45 so that was a pretty big deal imo.

before LA pushed OT I asked my GF who doesn't know anything about basketball first the classic if she goes for the tie or the win(she said win {acronym Renton hates}). Then I asked who she's giving it to, Kobe(who just missed the last 3-4 3's he took) or Derek Fisher(who just hit 3 in a row). After reminding her Kobe was the mvp of the league she started to rant about how bad Kobe was doing. Thats how bad it was.

if i were phil jackson and kobe was shooting poorly and fisher was shooting well, i would have absolutely no problem going to him. hes proven many times in the past he can hit big shots. also from the look of the box score vujacic was shooting it very well too.

I'm sorry but Lebron is just LOL and everyone thinking he is the next Jordan or Magic or anybody worth mentioning will get a laugh from me until this guy actually does something with his jumper. 5-6 years in the league and the guy still cannot shoot, what a joke.

Also, lolCeltics, what a joke your offesnse is. I don't want to hear that Cleveland is a good defensive team, you're supposed to be the best team in basketball with 3 of the league's premiere scorers of the past decade and you're putting up 12pt 4th quarters.

In conclusion, this series is fucking boring.

wat? the spurs won both games at home.

spenda, lebron is 23. im not a big lebron fan, but he is soooo young. i dont think it can be disputed that lebron is more athletic than mj or magic, but we'll see through the course of time how he does. i mean how sick is it that in 6 or 7 years he will be peaking.

It's pretty bad that after all the shit I've talked to you about your team you still don't realize I'm a San Antonio Spurs fan.
