sure damned happy boston won, tying up with cavs 1-1. cant wait for their next game..

with their deep bench, i hope they can pull this off.

can't stand lebron, but props to him for another mvp season

still think kobe's better, but lebron is more valuable

lakers can win without kobe, cavs would suck without lebron

can't stand boston, either

but great game by rondo

i can already see it

if cavs win..lebron persevered with his elbow injury

if celts win,..lebron wasn't at 100%

no matter..i feel confident orlando can beat either team

if superman can stay in the game..

[Guest showgunz]

we can survive for stretches without howard

unlike cavs or celts, we actually have a productive bench on a consistent basis

[Guest a-o]

grats to lbj winning back to back mvp's, anyone think he can win it again next year ? highly likely if you ask me.

Barring any major injury, I think he should the front-runner for the MVP again unless there's some major shake-ups in the off-season. The stats will always be there for 'Bron, and you can't question his "value" because he factors in for the majority of their offense in one way or another.

These days more than ever though, it seems like the award really is more of a team award and a reflection of the best team during the regular season. Maybe if some team is able to make a huge turnaround and finish with a top three record as a result of some big moves this off-season, the face of that team might have more precedence in the MVP voting over reoccurring candidates like Kobe and LeBron.

Unfortunately for the Celtics, Rasheed Wallace will be missing most of his threes again.

Whenever Mo Williams has an off game and LeBron doesn't drop 45+, the Cavs will lose.

[xkrndreamer]

kind of off topic, but did anyone see the hyperflys?

are they out yet?

i want them! they look so nice!

[Guest PB&Banana]

Damn Atlanta you could have won game 2 but than they forgot how to play basketball. Pass the ball I don't why they milk the clock so much, when their down they have no fight in them couldn't even buy a bucket it was hard to watch....again.

[Guest mofo]

the lakers and the magic have the easiest road to the conference finals. then again orlando is playing well. and they have the new kobe stopper ( matt barnes lol).

[Guest showgunz]

coming from a magic fan...i think kobe is unstoppable

barnes and pietrus will make him work, though

and mo williams is overrated, imo

he was the main option in milwaukee (since redd was always hurting), and he padded his stats

now, he's riding lebron's jockstrap

he can't do jack without lebron

lebron has to have monster games for the cavs to win...35/10/10

and while he's mos def capable, it still might not be enough

they need jamison to step up

and a sleeper is hickson

[RiderKamen]

I thought I wouldn't be saying this but the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs have been out played.

[Guest showgunz]

didnt see the games, but saw the highlights..ouch.

[ritzy!]

Damn UTAH was hot tonight!

Always the team that does well first isn't Lakers and I know they always come back from behind

but I thought Utah would actually have a chance tonight, was pretty close yannoe.. damn ! it hurts!

Man, if that foul was called.. then whoo!

[xkrndreamer]

it was such a great game

that's what the playoffs games should be like

21 lead changes!

kobe is clutch!

how can anyone deny that?

[Guest showgunz]

orlando is dominating right now

[Guest ooBah]

damn. i know james is a beast even on defensive end but pierce needs to step it up and start being more aggressive against james.

[Guest 432521]

Sun's just swept the Spurs

[Guest showgunz]

spurs weren't built to handle run-and-gun teams like phoenix

they woulda fared better playing the lakers

maybe win one game..haha

[Guest ooBah]

I hate the spurs and rooted for the suns to win but now I wish it is the spurs who play LA. I dont think suns have the size to go up against lakers and they are about to get wrecked. And robin lopez is out still isn't he?

[Guest melo.breeze]

question, i haven't been able to watch a single lakers/suns regular season game this year, so i wouldn't know much as to how these two teams play each other, so assuming lakers do get to the wcf (highly likely) how will they fair against the suns who are playing great basketball as of late. as far as i see it, it's:

bynum = frye

gasol > amare (gasol's been beast-like on the boards lately, i don't see amare stopping that)

artest > hill (artest can guard hill better than hill can guard artest)

kobe > richardson (no brainer)

fisher < nash (no brainer)

lakers bench < suns bench (everyone knows the lakers bench minus odom has been dry, whereas the suns bench has stepped up)
