Guest xsilentangel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think it all comes down to defense. The shooting percentage improved drastically for the Jazz but the Lakers shot the lights out (67% or something like that).. The Jazz had so many opportunities to take the lead but the turnovers ultimately screwed them over. Both teams need to keep a better eye on the perimeter. I wonder if the tables will turn once the Lakers are in Salt Lake City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CKcrossover Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cavs over Pistons, no contest Lakers over Jazz, Jazz made it an entertaining 4th qt Blazers over Rockets, refs made some terrible key calls but Im not too worry for them though Yao was in foul trouble and the bench was able to keep the game close man, Mutumbo, best of luck to the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather put him and Brewer on wing. At least that's SOME defense. Korver is just a shooter and an Ashton Kutcher clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think deron could just run in when bynum isn't in there and score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 432521 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Deke says his career is over. Yea and when he was saying it to the press he had tears in his eyes. I hope he lives the rest of his life to the fullest, I think he has to get surgery to get his knee fixed and everything. Man this sucks so bad because now the rockets are gonna miss out on his leadership and best of all his finger wag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DOVAHKIIN Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 At least he's being professional and positive about it. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/6385553.html Great words , He's up there with Moses Malone and Hakeem Olajuwon as their greatest centers, even if his Rockets' numbers don't show it.

xkrndreamer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i always liked and respected mutumbo because he seemed like a humble, generous, and unselfish guy on and off the court. it was a great run for him. for the lakers, it was a win, but they gotta play better d. i'm worried.

Guest xsilentangel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 He has Zac Efron's hair and Ashton Kutcher's face. Well, no matter who he looks like, he needs to step it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SurpriseSex Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't think Kyle Korver is capable of stepping up. He's a one trick pony: he shoots threes. You can't expect him to defend or create for himself, that's not his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DOVAHKIIN Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've always seen him as more of a Zac Efron. ... I just don't see it. Speaking of which, the guy on the left looks oddly like Varejao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DOVAHKIIN Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Damn, what's up with the Hornets? West can't shoot and Billups is making a joke out of Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SurpriseSex Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Probably fatigue, the Hornets starters were all playing close to 40 minutes a game towards the end of the season, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xsilentangel Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The last game, yeah like 4/5 of the starters played close to 40 minutes. The game prior, close to 30 minutes. Yeah Billups is just crushing them with his 3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkrndreamer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 “I’ve been in a positive mode for the last couple of days,” Mutombo said. “Maybe I think I cried enough when I was on the floor. I cried again when I got in the training room and when the doctor tried to talk to me. But right now, I think I have to be happy.” great humble and optimistic words from mutombo... can't wait for the games tonight i'm still deciding whether to watch the bulls game cuz i'm still at school and want to play some pick up ill probably catch the 4th quarter.

Guest xsilentangel Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Poor Bulls, booed by fans. I think they lost their motivation in the 2nd quarter. I have never been so thrilled by such a boring game. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! He only played 27 minutes but had 24 points . Everyone played well ..

I thought the Mavericks were being crushed by the Spurs but it was the other way around o_O.. I think Utah is going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
