Gonna have to settle for moral victories, of which we're up 2-0.

I like to think of it as holding home court and winning 1 away game.

We've got a 6% chance, keep hope alive.

I have to take issues with this. Our chances in this series are not affected in any way shape or form by how many times teams down 0-2 in series has come back to win before. If you flip a coin a hunderd time sand get tails each time, it doesn't improve your chances of getting heads on the 101st toss. It's still 50%.

who has the low IQ now, blue? TAKE THAT!!!

I got pw3ned

In theory, loweyecue got that wrong.

Not having a second option after Carmelo. Come on man. We should be even with a chance to steal this series in 7. Now I wouldn't doubt it if we are swept.

You think it's really what D'Antoni wanted the players to do at the end? This team is not going to be better executing than the Celtics. They've got far more chemistry due to time together. We're still trying ti find a balance in terms of how many shots guys get and how to work in the role players like Fields. Not to mention that we've got more young and inexperienced guys that haven't been in this kind of situation before.

Now add in the injuries to 2 of our best players and I think that had more to do with the losses than Mike making mistakes. If the ball bounces our way or a call goes our way we could easily be 2-0. Would that make Doc less of a coach?

Unfortunately, feelings don't win ball games.

Hey, martin, what's with the profanity filter being down? First, your slacker intern Bippity's posting the wrong games on the homepage, now this. I'm going to start complaining to management soon. Us nitpicking piss-ant detail guys will just have to go hang out on Berman's comment pages if the quality control doesn't pick up here soon...

[insert opportunity for Bip to talk about hisself]

And what's "closek" mean, again?

here ya go rookie:

From Wikipedia:
quote:
________________________________________
Pronounced se-nd Klosk (eng). Phrase.

Thought to originate in Eastern Europe. Has become firmly entrenched in slang vocabulary in the USA, mainly in the city of New York.

The phrase is of course most famous for having the unique lingual properties of being a verb, noun, determiner, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and pronoun. Such uses include "Then I just send closked all over her shoes", "Tell that send closk i'll get him his money", "thats a real send closk ring you have on Mr Ariza" and "they all lived send closk ever after".

Despite its versatility, the phrase is most commonly used as an exclamation of inebriation. An example of this would be "Send Closk! I am so gamweered right now!!"

Historical Uses:

General Custer's final words were reported to include the phrase.

Legendary basketball coach Red Aurbach was known to use the phrase frequently to inspire his team to greater hights.

King Harold of the Saxons, when shot in the eye at the Battle of Normandy in 1066, blamed the archers' supernatural accuracy on "the send closks of fate".

Alexander Graham Bell used the phrase to test the first telephone.

Albert Einstein in his seminal essay on the General Theory of Relativity is believed to have included the phrase in individual letters throughout the document at prime number intervals.

Charles Darwin, upon returning from the Galapagos Islands commented to his wife on the incogruity of "those send closk turtles".

Legal Controversy:

Despite being only recognized as slang vocabulary at this time, there is growing momentum to include send closk into the official Oxford Dictionary. In March 2009 Mr Martin Andrew, Secretary-General for the "Legalize Send Closk" office in New York commented "Send closk has far more uses in everyday language then words such as Tresayle, Malacissation and Sennit. If it is a problem with space, we would be more then happy to remove those words to make space for send closk". Chief Medical Officer Dr Marv Nalod added "Because of the versatility and bi-lingual nature of send closk, we honestly believe that its proliferation will actually help curb violent crime and aid global reconcilliation efforts with non-allied countries"

Dr Neville Arkrud of the Ukraine Historical Trust described the efforts of the LSC Foundation as "misguided" and "insulting and culturally abhorent to working-class Eastern-Europeans". Plans to bring the proposal to EU Court of Commerce are unconfirmed at this time.
