sheed's giggling with the sixers in their huddle coming out of the timeout, gets the ball and blows the layup to tie with 7 seconds to go...shows where his concentration and playoff intensity level is at...

Dumars may have been right in what he said but it's a problem if true because Billups should be the one clearly leading them. Oh well that series is probably going the distance because the Sixers play hard all 48min.

I was just watching the after game interviews and noticed how much Andre Miller looks like a young Richard Pryor. From now on my nickname for him is Mudbone.

Anybody watching Sixers vs Pistons?

Andre Miller is treating Billups like the Stepfather he wished he never had.

Lakers over Celtics.

If Bynum is back, fully healthy, and in playing shape, then they have a solid shot at beating the Celtics. Otherwise, I'd say Boston wins 4-3.

Today's game is yet another example of why Camby cannot be counted on all the time and why he should not be considered an elite player. Camby just takes nights off and has no problem doing it in the playoffs.
Would you take Zach over Marcus Camby?

BS flop by Kirilenko with 35 seconds left in the 4th for an offensive foul on Scola lost the Rockets the game.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Guess that JKidd trade isn't working out so well.

I just said the same exact thing to a friend. Not only is Kidd showing his age, the trade killed Josh Howard, who hasn't been the same player.

I have forever though that D'Antoni is an extremely overated coach and that Amare is a extremely overated player. Every year the playoffs roll around, both of these guys get exposed. It's like clockwork. Amare disappears in big situations ALL the time and he doesnt play a lick of defense. What a joke.

Yeah, Suns are a joke. Spurs in 5.

I don't know that its the suns being a joke- just think back to the knicks and Jordan.

In addition to the spurs finding a way to win, the refs also give them a ton of favorable calls.

Curry would probably fit in Toronto with Bosh.

The Suns shot themselves in the foot this game. They were up by 14 early. It was all on them. They just don't come up big in the playoffs.

What was with going to Boris Diaw half the time in the post? The guy isn't a scorer. They set up plays specifically for him. Nash and Amare weren't involved in the 2nd half.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

This isn't about the Suns being a joke. The Spurs just strangled their offense in the second half. That was an excellent defensive performance against one of the most potent offenses in the league.

The Suns are so overated it's not even funny. Every year it's the same deal with them. Amare puts up 25-30in quarters 1 through 3, disappears in the 4th, he doesn't play defense throughout the game, add in the fact D'Antoni could care less about defense and you get whats happened every year for 3-4 years.

suns aren't overrated. they're just not better than the spurs.

teams wins 50+ games every year, is exciting to watch and sells out the arena. they are handcuffed by an owner that doesn't want to spend. with that type of constraint, the difference between the suns and the spurs is that the spurs won the 1997 lottery and got duncan. the suns made mega cap space to sign kobe + manu = they both said no so they ended up with nash.

suns are awesome. they just don't have a player better than duncan.

Toronto , never addressed their rebounding situation and this is where I fault management. I hope they trade TJ Ford so we can see how good Calderon really is as a starting pg.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I don't understand why the hawks don't post up Ray Allen and get him in foul trouble. Marvin Williams have the height advantage over him and they have him playing on the perimitter

Marvin loves the perimeter, I don't think its a choice by the Hawks coaching staff. He's a 6'9 softie.
