WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DID CHRIS BOSH TOOK THAT JUMP SHOT, WHICH INSTEAD HE COULD'VE JUST TAKEN IT TO THE BASKET 9WR89Q3R8934QIDSKJDJH SO ****ING PISSED OFF THEY HAD THIS GAME. THEY COULD'VE WON AND UPSET MAGIC AND COME BACK HOME TO ACC WITH MUCH MORE CONFIDENCE



**** MAGIC!!!!!!!!! AND **** HOWARD!!! THAT ****ER PLAYS DIRTY, HE THREW SO MANY CHEAP SHOTS ON CB4

Well 2 down 2 to go for the Jazz to complete their sweep of the crotch rockets! This is EXACTLY what I meant when I told those rocket fans to wait till the playoffs when they were hyping up about their 22 win streak and saying they will win it all!!! somhow "I told ya so" doesnt quit say it all...

No Yao, No Rafer, No Steve Francis.
What other team can lose there Superstar and make it to the play offs? nobody especially not in the west. 2 of our starters were out for both home games, who is goin to win with 2starters out? nobody...shh

That wasn't bragging, I was only trying to get a little respect towards a under rated/respected houston rockets. It's not like i said "The rockets are going to win it all" consecutively. Unless of course you consider our bet a source of me bragging with you.. that i ONLY said the rockets will make it to the western conference finals.

Think for a second. We didn't have our normal point guard both these two games, not that he's a star (he's average), but we have been using a below average rookie both games.. what do you expect?

The jazz are a really good team. Even with yao I am not sure if you guys could beat them. They are very underrated.

Orlando in 5

[persian boy]

i would just like to point out that bosh was totally FOULED by dwight howard on that 1 play

[Demis-11]

^^^

if your referring to the block in the dying minutes of the game..yea, i howard didnt look like he got a hand on it and pretty much manhandled bosh, but its hard to call a foul there because various angles are tricky and it also looked like bosh ran into howard..but as for the jump-shot..he should have drove it in...we were lucky to get the last possesion to begin with, following the foul on calderon on the orlando throw in

who else here thinks bargnani is a bust? but dirk wasnt too great his first years also

[persianbruin]

celts will win the championship cuz the lakers lack interior defense due to the lack of the "bynum factor". Everything else is just a bunch of viz viz!!

[Behzad12]

from what ive been hearing and thinking, it seems as if sam will make a lineup change for game 3. now from what i think, theres no way hes gona take TJ out as TJ off the bench will be worse than what he is now. then again, that may be a possibility to avoid the 1st quarter drought, who knows

next, i think rasho will come off the bench and cover dwight off the bench. it took sam long enough to notice that 3 bigs on at the same time is the dumbest thing you can do. my guess would be jamario starting and having delfino and kapono off the bench like right now.

Raptors are going to have it veryyyyyyyy tough if they let d howard keep up with what he's doing. letting him get 20 boards a game isn't going to cut it. I expect toronto to tie it up 2-2 come game 5. But I think d.howard is too much to handle and the Magic take it in 6.

[persian boy]

bench Bargnani plz..

[Babak]

Once the Raptors realize that trying to create an "international" team made up primarily of foreigners won't work, maybe they'll achieve something.

They are a mediocre NBA team at best, and would be an absolute joke if they were playing in the Western Conference.

What kind of idiotic GM would pay Jason Kapono that kind of money and draft Andrea Bargnani #1 overall?

EXAAAAAAAAACTLY, I WAS SO PISSED OFF RIGHT AFTER THAT PLAY THAT I THREW MY PILLOW AT THE TV... HE HAD CLEAR LANE TO TAKE IT IN AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DID HE GO FOR THE JUMP SHOT

RAPS DO SERIOUSLY NEED TO STOP HOWARD OR ELSE THIS SERIES COULD END EASILY IN GAME 4

I'M GOING TO SUPPORT MY BOYS AND SAY RAPS IN GAME 7
