Please tell me there's a campaign to put a scrub on the camera for the whole time... are any of the players injured and attending the game in a suit?

I spy with my little eye...

Cavs go on vacation tomorrow.

Mo Williams having a huge game, Magic 11-22 on ft's and 3-11 on threes...still Clev. only up 5, lol.

CadBane · 05-28-2009, 08:51 PM

Make that 1.

Thespiralgoeson · 05-28-2009, 08:51 PM

Stick a fork in the Cavs.

rmacomic · 05-28-2009, 09:14 PM

Mike Brown is clueless.

chumdawg · 05-28-2009, 09:51 PM

Lebron messed around and got a triple double.

Anyone watching through here? 4-way split screen, it's kinda awesome.

Thespiralgoeson · 05-28-2009, 10:15 PM

WOW! Play of the game right there.

CadBane · 05-28-2009, 10:21 PM

I wish Mavs players would cut when Dirk iso's like AV does.

Trevor Ariza does...that's another plus for him. I want him on our team, big time.

fluid.forty.one · 05-28-2009, 10:56 PM

Lebron... Wow!

CadBane · 05-28-2009, 11:30 PM

He could, you know, lead his team to victory in the series.

It's up to his team to follow him. Anyone who's watched any of these games can plainly see that the man can't do much more than he's done.

weren't you just going on for about 5 pages about how unclutch Lebron is?

CadBane would disagree with you while making contested clutch 3 pointers.

yeah, he's been pretty worthless.

fluid.forty.one · 05-29-2009, 12:30 AM

LeBron is FILTHY. Just watched the highlights and I still am in awe of him.

If this was Dirk in this series doing this stuff, this board would be having multiple multiple orgasms.

chumdawg · 05-29-2009, 12:31 AM

Cadbane is getting the crap kicked out of him!

Underdog · 05-29-2009, 12:37 AM

I smell a trend...

Underdog · 05-29-2009, 01:00 AM

Wow, I just noticed Tyronn Lue plays for Orlando Magic (DNP, coach's decision...)

It's kinda crazy to think he might have a shot a non-participatory ring if Stern wasn't gunning for an epic LeBron comeback...

alby · 05-29-2009, 01:37 AM

Lebron just did the "Dirk" for the entire fourth quarter, iso top of the key.

You know who is getting playing time ahead of him...Anthony Johnson.
Go figure

alby · 05-29-2009, 02:46 AM

How about this one

Josh Powell has played in two more playoff games than Dirk this year

CadBane · 05-29-2009, 02:48 AM

Anthony Johnson isn't that bad, he just wasn't a good fit here.

Another Avery casualty...

Anthony Johnson IMO falls into that category of guys that should NEVER be a big part of your offense along with Devean George. I wanted to kill Avery throughout the Golden State series watching Anthony Johnson, George, Greg Buckner, Stack and every other bad shooter on the team trying carry the scoring load. One thing I'm hoping for this season is a guard that can actually shoot the damn ball. Seems like Terry's the only one we've had for about 4 years now.

on that note, DJ Mbenga is averaging .5 .5 0 0 in 2.5 minutes in these playoffs and will likely go to the finals.

Does $tern want a game on Sunday?

Referee Assignments

L.A. Lakers @ Denver--J. Crawford; M. Callahan; M. Wunderlich

Flacolaco · 05-29-2009, 10:12 AM

You sure are interested in who the refs are.

ty · 05-29-2009, 10:57 AM

Kidd played in more playoff games than Devin Harris this year...heh heh heh...

There is a sense among an increasing number of players and coaches, however, that officials have become too visible, too intrusive, often as large a part of the game as players and coaches. The N.B.A. officials Dick Bavetta, Joey Crawford, Danny Crawford and Steve Javie are almost as well known as the players. They have their reputations, their egos, their own styles. Most important, each has a philosophy of how the game should be officiated. As if players didn’t have enough to contend with, they have to adjust to officials from night to night.

Up next: NBA levies $20,000 fine against the New York Times for daring to comment on officiating.

Gus · 05-29-2009, 11:58 AM

Wouldn't doubt it if they tried. Or pulled their press credentials or something.

The problem isn't that the officials have their own styles. It's like a Bill Simmons article I read the other day said; the problem is their styles change DURING the game.

Of course, none of it would be a problem if they were just trained to call the rules like they are laid out in the rule book.

Maybe NBA referee's should have to wear a standard Wrestling mask...all wearing the same one, so that we can't tell which referee is working the games.
