Howard should feel pretty embarassed that he had his game revealed as being so one-dimensional, I think. Dude needs a hook-shot or a finger roll or a short jumper as a go-to move.

Game 3: 3/10 from field, 7 points, 7 rebounds 39 minutes
Games 2: 9/13 from field, 30 points, 8 rebounds 39 minutes
Game 1: 3/10 from field, 13 points, 12 rebound 5 blocks, 7 turnovers 39 minutes

Basically, aside from game 2 Howard has not been good. At all. Granted in game 2 he almost willed that team to a win on a night when Lewis/Carter/Nelson decided to suck. Regardless, Howard was really killing the offense in games 1 and 3.

Carter and Nelson were both solid in game 1, but Howard and Lewis blew.
Howard was awesome in game 2, but the other 2 blew.
In game three all four blew.

Lewis... orly?

Oh and Phoenix needs Frye to not be shooting 1/18 on the series (1/14 behind arc I think)... what happened to that 12/22 against the Spurs?

Can't deal with single coverage. He's like Fezzik in The Princess Bride!

BaconForTheSoul · « **Reply #203 on:** May 25, 2010, 09:07:52 PM »

Or is he like the Sundance kid and he can't shoot while standing still? (Ahem FTs)

Also, let's see Orlando win 4 in a row. Would humble KG a bit and we all know how I feel about Rasheed.

Excuse me, but are you seriously saying that Santa or whoever should get in the way of us Boston fans' god-given right to win championships every other year or so? Don't you understand that we deserve to win just for being us? (Also, Vince Carter? really?)

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #205 on:** May 25, 2010, 10:49:26 PM »

I'm saying anyone but Boston. I'd take LA over them, because Sheed is the man I hate most in the NBA.

Rasheed Wallace is a punk ass thug.
Kevin Garnett is a punk ass thug.
Nobody on that team is really fun to watch except for Rondo, who is showing signs of being a punk ass thug. (An amazing one though.)

Orlando is just a way more fun team to watch and they aren't filled with guys who bark at opposing players or throw basketball at the heads of rookies when they aren't watching. (Oh and who also said he'd throw games to get a coach fired.)

You know who I hate?

Paul Pierce

Why? Because he is a gawd damn flop artist. He is NOT hurt! Stop pretending to be hurt. It's fucking getting old, quick.

Dude, watch the replay, it's as clear as day Howard came down on his shoulder and overextended it.

Also, Howard gives a dude a fucking concussion and you're complaining about fake injuries?

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #209 on:** May 27, 2010, 08:50:44 AM »

Paul Pierce learned from Danny Ainge, the biggest flop artist maybe ever.

NotMiki · « **Reply #210 on:** May 27, 2010, 08:52:22 AM »

Oh I ain't denying Pierce has it in him. It's just that on that play in particular it was pretty clear from the way his arm got bent that he got hurt.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #211 on:** May 27, 2010, 08:58:23 AM »

I think the expression I'm using is "cry wolf."

Let me guess: you think it was a rubber knife, too.

To be fair to the Celtics, that second T on Perkins was straight up bullshit.

NotMiki · « **Reply #214 on:** May 27, 2010, 07:07:42 PM »

The first one is pretty likely to be revoked, too. Replay pretty clearly shows his elbow slipped because he was pulling up another player, for all that it looked intentional at first glance.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #215 on:** May 27, 2010, 07:14:01 PM »

One of them DID get revoked. He's going to have to be on his best behavior next game, though.

Dunefar · « **Reply #216 on:** May 27, 2010, 07:19:59 PM »

Good. The refs had a hard-on for giving him the ol' T all game, glad to see he's dodged a suspension for now.

Scar · « **Reply #217 on:** May 28, 2010, 04:56:18 AM »

I'm not just talking about that one fall, Pierce ALWAYS pretends to be hurt. Sometimes he will even go into the locker room and then magically come back out and play seemingly without injury.

It's amazing!

Also, gawd dammit the Lakers won. =(

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #218 on:** May 29, 2010, 05:15:11 AM »

Clearly Pierce is Wolverine in disguise. Would certainly explain his being able to play right after getting stabbed. >_>

Tonight? Calls seemed okay for the most part, possibly a little slanted in Boston's favor (I didn't think Nelson's flagrant was a flagrant), but I don't think they made a huge difference, so I'm happy with how Boston came away with the win, if for no other reason than because most anti-Celtic sentiment is going to look like whining (well, more whining than what is normal for an anti-anyone sentiment).

And God damn do I love Nate Robinson. Starting PG for my NBA Live 2006 franchise. <3

Now that the series I am apathetic about is over, go Suns~

Scar · « **Reply #220 on:** May 29, 2010, 05:42:38 PM »

Well I'm done watching Basketball for this year. I hope the Lakers weep Boston and end this shitty year.

Gooooooooooooooooooo '11.

Must be nice to be Kobe Bryant. People and analysts illogically think that you are the most clutch player in the NBA. You try and prove them wrong by practically airballing TWO game winning shots in crucial playoff games, and BOTH times your so called "non clutch" teammates save you with a layup.

Pretty sure in game 7 of the NBA finals the Lakers will be down by 1 with seconds left, Kobe will throw up an airball and Gasol will take it out of the air and dunk it. The world will then praise Kobe for having the insight to oop it to Gasol and will be given the next 7 NBA finals MVPs. And yes, I might be a little bit bitter because that dude runs better than anyone ever should. Let's look at his career.
1. Get to play with by far the most dominant player in the NBA and grab 3 titles
2. Get into arguments with that player, BLOW A FINALS WITH EPIC 35% FG SHOOTING WHILE NOT GIVING SHAQ THE BALL, and somehow blame Shaq and get him run out of town.
3. Play on a shitty team for a while to get some guady individual stats like 35ppg and 81 point games for 3 years
4. Pick up Gasol for effectively nothing
5. Win a title with the whole world ignoring Gasol's brilliance and Ariza's game saving plays on multiple occasions.
6. This year's garbage!

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #222 on:** May 29, 2010, 11:07:20 PM »

It's all part of Gasol's plan to obfuscate himself. If people realized this they'd change their plans around HIM.

EDIT: I really enjoyed this:
