No shot if Rose refuses to play.

Meanwhile, Nate Robinson has put together one of the great single game playoff outbursts I've seen.

Double overtime.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is a fucking modern romantic classic right here, you bitches.

 

[LemonMelon]

Triple OT?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yup.

I look for Jimmy G. Buckets to be an offensive force in triple overtime.

Also, Joakim wants it more than anybody else on the floor. By far.

TAJ GIBSON. Heart, hustle, and muscle. I love this team.

 

[LemonMelon]

Insane effort all around.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Lopez traveled his ass off. The refs have been brutal. But we shall overcome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

NAZR MOTHERFUCKlNG MOHAMMED!

 

[LemonMelon]

Clutch effort. Really balled like a motherfucker in triple OT.

Keep your foot on the pedal, guys.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wow.

 

[Hewson]

Some game.

 

[PhilsFan]

I remember when the Sixers traded Nazr for Dikembe TWELVE FUCKING YEARS AGO.

NBA player Jason Collins says he is gay - The Magazine - SI.com

 

[gump]

Props to him. And the article was a great read.

 

[BoMac]

It's a courageous move, and I can't wait for a time when this is something that is not noteworthy.

Favourite tweet so far: Of course Bill Clinton is proud to call Jason Collins a friend. EVERYONE knows gay men are the best wingmen in the world.

 

[BoMac]

Dumbest tweet (which has now been deleted) is from WR Mike Wallace:

@Wallace17_daKid: All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH...

 

[iron yuppie]

What a surprise that the homophobia would come from an NFL player...

 

[PhilsFan]

It's very encouraging that almost every professional athlete to comment on this has been extraordinarily positive. It seems that intolerance is in the minority.

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

NBA star makes landmark revelation that he is gay - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Im surprised why it took so long to be honest

Professional sports is a veil to hide behind in society though

the image of masculinity on the field, with rewards such as fast cars and women

Etc etc etc

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

No shot if Rose refuses to play.

They are playing the Nets...

 

[Hewson]

They are playing the Nets...

I was referring to their chances of winning the tit le or even reaching the finals. I expect them to finish off the Nets.

 

[cobl04]

Someone is about to get fired on TNT... what a shambles

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

So, some of these series just got a lot more interesting.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

JR Smith has been a moron for must of his career, until about midway point of this season.

It only took 3 playoff games for him to return to being a moron, with his elbows, mouth and shot selection, and lit a spark in a team that was D.O.A.

Thankfully, Jordan Crawford's sheer idiocy may have just done the same thing.

 

[Hewson]

The ultimate team player: 5 games thus far, 137 attempted field goals(shooting a robust 39%) and 6 assists.

Guess who.

 

[Hewson]

OK, so JR Smith, Menyon Martin, Jordan Crawford etc. mouthing off is bad enough, but nothing is as ludicrous as Royce White taunting Kevin Durant via Twitter. Dude you haven't been able to suit up for a single NBA game yet....shut your pie hole you look like a fool.

 

[Hewson]

Some run in the 4th Q, just too much of a mountain to climb. Congrats Knicks.

 

[gump]

I'm pretty sure there's still another game in the series where Pierce hits a buzzer-beater and the Knicks lose in excruciating fashion. Right?

 

[gump]

Seriously, though, this game almost gave me an ulcer. Thank God for Shump.
