Man ... Reggie's really driving me nuts ... that sounded like his head was about to implode!

Man ... they blow the whistle every time LB comes down the floor!

I think the Wiz are distributing the ball a lot better since Arenas' injury ... and he's not quite as quick to do it all himself.

Nice to see Wally get his shot going!

It is good to see that Wade will have plenty of time to make commercials during the playoffs.

LeBron scraped his elbow ... call in the medics ... get the backboard out!

Reggie is such an idiot ... why do they pay this guy to destroy the english language?!? I think an ejection was a little extreme there, though.

Maybe that Washington matchup that people worried so much about isn't going to be a concern...

Now we just need to make sure we play well enough so that the refs can't hand games to LeBron in the closing minutes of games.

Who would you guys rather have the Celtics play in the 2nd round? The Cavs don't scare me as much anymore. They depend way too much on Lebron.

I've said all along that I'd rather have the Cavs ... it's easier to defend one player than it is five.

cavs (this version) shooting the best i've seen thus far.  heck wally, who has been struggling since coming to the cavs, is 6 of 9.

what happened to butler and jamison?  wizards getting blown out.

Yup ... they had a decent start, too ... some good energy, then it just kinda fizzled, got an ejection, and it's been downhill ever since. Bruins are about done, too. Sad.

In case anyone wants to know, the Bruins are done. (5-0)

Two things scare me about the Cavs, Lebron and the refs. Well potentially 3 things if Reggie is doing the colour.

Really great statement, RR ... one of my favorite posts in a long time, (I love the "brief and succinct!) ... a definite TP earner! And I thought you'd be gloating about the Bruins ... forgive me for thinking the worst!

Wizards got torched,but i have a feeling,its going to be a tough road for the Cav's in Washington.

Anyone keeping up on this Utah/Houston game?
Title: Re: Playoff games. 4/21
Post by: jay_jay54 on April 21, 2008, 10:13:08 PM
Utah's bench is beating up on Houston's 1st team,almost like they did in game 1.

Honestly ... Utah scares me more than any other team in the NBA. They are soooo deep, and have so many options. I think a lot of people are selling them short, and I feel they have a good chance of being around after three series. Kinda hope I'm wrong, 'cuz I think the C's would have a real tough time with them.

I have been posting that fact for the last several months,but most either say im wrong or ignored me on it.

Caron Butler hasn't showed up for the playoffs yet. Someone should tell him the games have started.

How the hell is scoring 12-14 points when Wally Szczerbiak is guarding him? Go get the ball and beat him. That simple. Do it. Stop acting like a chump.

The Wizards offense looked awful in game one. They completely lacked any fluidity or cohesion to their play. Especially when Gilbert was out of the game. They didn't look like a team. They need to get it together. Washington's only hope of winning this is their offense, lose that, lose the series.

I have been saying,if Utah can get passed the Spurs,i look for them to take the West.

agree with Bahku on Utah being scary.

i think D.Williams can handle CP3 in a 7game series,if they had to play the Hornets...LA would  probably be there toughest matchup in the West.

Yup ... Jay-Jay has been talking about Utah's dominance for quite a while (TP). I think they're gonna get much deeper into the playoffs than some think, and could be one of the toughest match-ups for the C's if they get to the finals.

Jay-Jay has an uncanny ability to assess teams from way down the road ... very perceptive individual, I've seen it on many topics, and many times. We have a real "soothsayer" in our midst ... a Nostradamus reincarnate!

Wow, the Wizards looked like garbage last night!  Caron Butler and Jamison playing like punks.  What's up with that?  This is the team that is supposed to have Boston's number?

I guess all that trash talking caught up with them.  Did anyone see Stevenson blow on his hands (like he is hot) after making a 3 pointer when they were down 16 points? ::)  What an idiot!
