Play-off Madness Marches on

Tonight the Cavs take the Pistons (84-82) who had a chance to win but Rip the masked man couldn't control it as it rolled out of bounds as time expired. Then the Mavs and Spurs rumbled and it was up for grabs until time expired Ginobili's energies plays kept the Spurs in the last two minutes of the game with steals, rebounds, tie ups and undeniable energy. His last free throw was the last point scored in the game. In the end, Jason Terry rushed his shot, Dirk rushed the out back and time expired. Spurs win 98-97 and it's back to Dallas for game 6.

Last night's Suns-Clippers double overtime game was nuts. The Clips should have won but there was no denying Raja "Kobe Close liner" Bell. With ice water in his veins he played great D and hit 5/7 from downtown and Phoenix goes up 3-2 in a game they had to win. Miami closed out the Nets earlier the evening on Wade steal of Jason Kidd preserving the win. Rumors are for a major reshuffle this summer in NJ.

Suns scorch the Lakes in OT forcing game 7, baby!

The game was awesome. Tim Thomas hit a three to tie the game with 6.3 seconds left as Kwame (pick your pejorative term) Brown wen running past him faked out of his shorts. Phil Jackson yealled no and Big Tim let the laker bench how sweet it was and how much heart he had. Kobe took a fade away and bricked it as time expired.
After trading baskets at the begin of OT the Suns ran away with/ Kobe kept them close but it was a two or three possession game game the rest of the way.

As I said it was ab awesome game.

Bring on Game 7 and go Suns!

Raja in the Octagon with a giggling Kobe

Ultimate Fighter and hoopster Kobe made giggling references the Octagon with Raja Bell in his post game interviews after being ejected in last nights game 5 loss to the suns, 114-97.
To quote Kobe on the physical nature of the game: That's how I grew up playing basketball in Philadelphia. I love playing that style. It excites me more than anything."
Nicely put by Laker crazy 8.
Phil and Kobe have to be pulling for a mere fine for Raja Bell so he can be there to incite the LA crowd and Kobe and unite the Laker team which played their most lackadaisical game so far.

The Spurs got it done at home. The big three kicked in over 20 a piece and Manu kicked loose again after a couple of woeful games. Bonzi is looking to be this year’s guy who plays himself into a big contract in the play-offs and returns underachieving once he hets the contract. I’m looking forward to game 6 at Arco with a serenade of cowbells.

The Nets did it again. Vince is looking like a legit all start and the Man in Jersey.

I still can’t believe the NBA didn’t suspend Reggie Evans and gave Chris Kaman the flagrant foul.

Re-Dirkulessness

Dirk was the man in this series. He came to play and brought. He killed the Grizzlies with the 3 at the end of regulation after splitting defenders on a broken play and then scoring the first 5 points of OT. In Game 4 he took over in the 3rd quarter scoring 12 points and putting the game out of reach. Look out in round 2.

What is wrong with the refing in this league? Obviously the refs missed Reggie Evans most egregious of fouls in game three when he grabbed and yanked Chris Kamen where no should. The Barkley and the boys couldn't control themselves after watching the replays and Kamen being interviewed after the game. So how can it be when the play is reviewed by the league that he's only fined?!? Unbelievable!

At Reggie Evans and the rest of the Nuggets have gone fishing along with the Grizzlies. Kenny's picture of Gasol fishing with a bear was classic. Well done Jet.
