And, all of the sudden, Manu scores 30 points tonight... Deja vu of the New Orleans series again?

Would any "great" coach win without at least one superstar? Please.

The Lakers still have the upper hand until they lose homecourt.

Cos Red Auerbach could have won without Cousy or Russell or Havlicek or Heinsohn, yes?

They're just the poor man's versions of Nocioni, Oberto, Scola, and Ginobili.

no, i don't. just like greg popovich was a mediocre coach before he got tim duncan. just like joe torre was a terrible manager before he coached the yankees.

take every hall of fame coach in the history of the nba, with the possible exception of larry brown, and they'll be closely connected to a hall of fame player.

When their teams win in the playoffs, then they come out.

Can I just say that we're lucky to have two strong announce teams for the NBA playoffs? Breen, Jackson and Van Gundy are great, as are Marv/Collins. Makes the experience all the more enjoyable, as opposed to listening to Chip Caray and Tony Gwynn call playoff baseball on TBS.

You don't miss Bill Walton?

I used to love listening to Bill Walton. Van Gundy pisses me off. It always seems like he just isnt happy to be there.

Big win for the pistons tonight. Hopefully they can steal another in Boston.

I actually get the opposite feeling from Van Gundy. Walton, while annoying as hell, clearly loved calling games, that's seems obvious.

I have such mixed feelings on the Celtic series. I want that Laker/Celtic match-up, but, I also hate Boston and find it hard to root for them at all.

CTU2fan · 05-27-2008, 07:47 AM

I actually like Van Gundy a lot.

And yeah, Pistons needed that game and played like it. And WTF was up with Garnett yesterday? The guy abused the Detroit bigs for 3 games and last night he disappeared.

Headache in a Suitcase · 05-27-2008, 10:20 AM

i'd be very happy replacing mark jackson with bill walton. i'm not a fan of jackson's. he annoys me, and i'm quite happy he didn't get the knicks job.

i can deal with walton as long as there's someone to keep him in check... like when he was with marv and matt goukas... or when marv and matt were with fratello and they'd just spend half the time ripping on the "czar"

i miss marv doing knick games

Lila64 · 05-27-2008, 11:01 PM

What a game!

It was hard to watch at times (if you are a Lakers fan that is)

Let me just say, I can't sit in the same room with hubby when he watches a game. I can hear yelling & screaming clear across the house!!!

No comment on Barry's last shot either

U2@NYC · 05-27-2008, 11:02 PM

All I have to say is... What a fucking ripoff!

Crawford, go ref your mother.

Embarassing.
