ray allen looks confused about all of the celebrating. it seems as though he thinks his team came in second.

haha
if the celtics even make it to the finals again this year(i hope they do but they probably won't), the lakers are going to rape them silly.

like game 6?

well, hope you enjoyed it since the celtics are on the decline and likely won't win another title, while the lakers are set up to be a dominant dynasty for years to come.

i didnt enjoy enough like i should have since your ass went ghost when the board came back right after

well i shouldnt say that. driving by the garden that night in boston was awesome. people goin crazy and hanging out the windows of their cars like the new 50 cent album just dropped. it was nuts

went ghost? the board crashed for like a month on the night of last finals game.
by the time it came back on i'd given up hope on it..when i came back it'd been like 2 months since the finals.

yea dood, i totally left the boardz *** the lakerz lost lolz.
i didn't really give a shit since getting to the finals last season was more than anybody expected. you beat us without our starting center. and just as your old fart team is starting to fizzle out, the lakers are just starting.
the 3+ titles the lakers will win with this team>>>>>your one championship in 20 years.

i cant wait til christmas so we can mop the floor with boston. should be hilarious.

Lakers looking scary in their first game.
Portland's only scored 27 points and there's only 1:50 left in the 1st half.
offense running on all cylinders.
08-09 champs.

this is eventually going to be a big topic

and yeah, the lakers are going to be rough if they stay healthy... they look great right now

go hawks (even though you let childress go to europe, you fucks)

there is plenty to blame the hawks organization for, but i wouldn't blame them for letting childress go. he wasn't worth that kind of money in the nba.

childress is a pretty good player. he's just not worth what he was asking.

it's ok man, you can admit that you crashed the board so that you didn't have to take a bunch of shit over game 6

yea, totally..

i like portland's team and all, but i don't think they're going to do dick this year

oden, or no oden. they aren't going to be able to compete in the west.

i agree. they'll be good in a few years, but they're way over hyped right now.

i'll take the under on greg oden playing 100 games over the next three seasons.

i think people are throwing the 'injury prone' card at him too soon.
what happened last night has happened a thousand times before. he jumped up and landed on someone's foot. i think he'll be a beast in a few years, especially on the defensive end.

Lakers dominant again.
its just the clippers, but the lakers have put on an absolute basketball clinic for the 2nd night in a row.

the guy just doesn't look like he's going to stay healthy. just watching him walk it looks like he's in pain. he's awkward, fairly uncoordinated, and looks like the second coming of bill walton. it happens a lot to guys that big. he might get in a few good years, but i bet his career is over by the time he's 30.

I haven't watched a basketball game in 10 years or more.
I'm not even sure if they air it on any of the channels here except for Bobcats games.

I miss giving a fuck about things.

when we drafted z, he had all kinds of foot problems, and people thought he'd be done, and as he's gotten older, he's been very durable, he has missed well under probably 20 games since they drafted lbj

oden will be good, although i can understand blazer fans being worried

On the decline? Rajon Rondo is 23 and just starting to emerge as one of the best young point guards in the NBA. Perkins is 23 and just starting to get it. Pierce is 31 and Garnett 32. They got at least 2 more titles with this group.

Laker fans are just pissed because they thought they could contend again until the Celtics went out and assembled one of the best teams of all-time. 3 Hall-of-Famers and a strong nucleus of young players - Rondo, Perkins, Powe.

what a future haha.

the celtics will be playing the lottery for a long time with that young "nucleus."

i think tj ford just showed rondo what a real good young pg looks and plays like.

suns/celtics finals

suns in 6

stat mvp

raptors 3-0! bosh and JO might be the best front court in the league. or at least up there with gasol/bynum

and AI traded to detroit for billups/mcdyess

^i dont understand that trade at all

i think the trade works for both teams.

stuckey deserves more PT. so does JR smith. anthony carter is not a starting PG.

i think denver is the team that improves from this trade, but i'm most excited to see rodney stuckey play more. neither team is going anywhere, but the trade makes perfect sense to me.

denver needs a steady veteran point guard in a team full of headcases. they can also start j.r. smith now.

detroit is doing it for financial reasons i think, to make a bid at a big-time free agent in the next few years. ai's going to provide some nice scoring for them this season, but i think they got him mainly for his huge expiring contract. detroit's going to have 2 huge contracts coming off the books in sheed an ai. they're going to be cutting something like 30 mil off their cap.

i'm confused about stuckey in the starting 5.
if stuckey's starting then that means either AI, rip, or prince won't be.

i don't think he gets in the starting 5 yet. next year for sure, which is two years sooner than if billups stayed on the team. i still think he gets more time because stuckey/billups was not as effective as stuckey/hamilton or stuckey/iverson.

oh, i totally misread that.
i read it as stuckey would be starting.

this dude said:

Pistons get Iverson now, LeBron later?

By Adrian Wojnarowski


Joe Dumars had the chance to consider Dallas’ Jason Kidd and his expiring contract over the summer, a league executive said Monday, but the Detroit Pistons president had bigger, bolder ideas. Allen Iverson still gives the Pistons a puncher’s chance in the Eastern Conference this season, but this trade isn’t about him. It isn’t about Chauncey Billups.

Think bigger.

Think bolder.

Think LeBron James, 2010.

The Pistons president doesn’t just have the salary cap space for the Cleveland Cavaliers star. He also has the connections and the championship credibility. Make no mistake: Detroit and Dumars are officially in hot pursuit of James – maybe even the favorite now – and it promises to be a long, agonizing two years for the Cavaliers.

Detroit doesn’t deliver the bright lights and global metropolis destination that James wants when he opts out of his contract in 2010, but two more years of watching Kobe Bryant win titles could transform his priorities. James wants badly to be considered the best player on the planet and that won’t happen until he’s a champion.

James wants a front office with a vision that honors his greatness, and make no mistake: This makes Detroit and Dumars so dangerous, makes them Cleveland’s worst nightmare. The city could justify losing its prodigal son to New York or Los Angeles, but nearby Detroit?

Cleveland would never recover.

So why Iverson over a possible package for Kidd? Several league executives know exactly why: The trade with Denver to make an unhappy Iverson happier just further imbeds the Detroit franchise deeper into James’ agent, Leon Rose, and advisor, William Wesley. Just as they represent James, they rep Iverson.

And as much as anyone, “World Wide” Wes is one of the most important voices in Lebron’s life. Wesley lives in Detroit, where one of Rose’s clients, Richard Hamilton, is a Pistons star. What’s more, Dumars is close to an agreement with Hamilton on a two-year extension that will keep him through 2012, sources say. This is a terrific show of faith for Hamilton, who is trying to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars that a business manager allegedly stole from him.

Wesley comes and goes at the Palace of Auburn Hills as he pleases, and few have such a window into the winning culture of the Pistons.

As one rival GM said Monday, “Damn it, I am afraid Joe has this whole thing wired. He’s got everything in place to pull this off.”

The New Jersey Nets’ move to Brooklyn is falling apart, and so is owner Bruce Ratner’s chances of using limited partner, Jay-Z, to lure James. The Knicks will be a factor, but the bumbling of the Stephon Marbury mess has reflected horribly on the organization. The Knicks have an owner, GM and coach with differing agendas and they’ve made an initial poor impression. Detroit can’t compete with New York as the global city to market James, but winning could take care of everything.

With Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni as GM and coach, the Knicks can still get their act together. Yet, no one will ever need to ask that of Dumars. No one else can sell James on a winning culture as compellingly as Dumars. He had gone as far as he could with Billups, who has three years and $36 million left on his contract. Billups gave the Pistons a slight edge over Iverson to make another run this season, but Dumars had already gotten a final run out of him a year ago. Detroit won a title, reached a Game 7 of the NBA Finals and six straight Eastern Conference finals with Billups.

Now, Billups is 32 years old. He’s declining. This is a low-risk, short-term, high-reward, long-term play for Dumars.

The Pistons president believes that the young guard Rodney Stuckey, a brilliant pick out of Eastern Washington, can take over the Pistons next year. Iverson and Rasheed Wallace could leave the payroll this summer, and the Pistons will be $22 million under the salary cap in 2009. They will have a core of Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Stuckey, Jason Maxiell and Amir Johnson in 2010. No one else among James’ serious suitors with cap space has two All-Stars (Hamilton and Prince) and a potential third (Stuckey) for him to join.

Most of all, James knows he’d have Dumars to give him the right coach, the right teammates, the right atmosphere to chase championships for a long, long time. What makes this plan so ingenious is that the bridge from Iverson to Stuckey, from Wallace to Maxiell, makes it possible for the Pistons to reconstruct themselves without bottoming out. They’ll still be a 50-win team. Dumars hates the idea of rebuilding through the lottery, and that won’t need to happen here. He won’t be offering James a heap of ashes in 2010, but a good team needing him to complete its greatness.

For the flawed franchises falling over themselves to get under the salary cap for 2010, the most ingenious plan promises to start out of the NBA’s brightest executive mind. Joe Dumars is thinking big. He’s thinking bold. This will be an agonizing two years in Cleveland.

bosh and paul get POW

bosh has been a beast so far. i'm hoping he can finally make the jump to superstar. playing solid defense and hitting clutch shots that he couldn't in previous years

i can't wait to see how AI fits in with the pistons. i think he's the one guy i would really like to see win a title. that wasn't going to happen in denver but could with detroit

i've been a fan of bosh's since he came in to the league. solid player. him and JO should complement each other nicely once JO gets back in to shape.

lolz@detroitgettinglebron.org

The Celtics are already off to a 2-0 start against the West, on their way to dominating that conference again like they did last year (29-7 including The Finals).

LOLZ

Did you enjoy watching them beat that vaunted Houston team too? Mortgaged the future. Haha. Do you realize KG is signed through the 2011-2012 season and as long as he's there they are a contender. That's 4 more years. No one plays harder or with more energy in the NBA.

hahahha, what's so 'vaunted' about them? they're a new team who've never played together or proven anything. you're going to use them as your borometer? the team that just lost to portland? and if you think KG is going to play at that level for the next 4 years you're an even bigger idiot than i thought. the team has no future. but wait, you always have leon powe and rondo to rest your franchise's future on.(that had me laughing all week by the way, thanks).
LOLZ

ps. screaming and banging your chest like a gorilla doesn't equate to playing hard. it's all just a show and makes him look like a retard. boston's done. get over it and move on.
sit the fuck down and stfu because it's obvious you don't know shit about basketball.

that was so pointless i don't even know how to respond to it...but just to throw it out there, i've been a laker fan since i first watched basketball since i've lived in la almost my whole life..


so how long have you been a fan of the celtics? since they got KG? figures, since boston is home to the most bandwagon fans in the country.
