NBA Playoffs 2009 - warning - results inside!

[rucker_]

Surprised no one has brought this up yet! Already into the second round but might aswell start some chit chat now!.

Nuggets all the way for me!!
Lebron.. MVP.. Bout time.

[TJ]

Celtics and Bulls - one of the best series I've been lucky enough to see in a long time.

5 out of 7 games went to o.t, including tripple o.t twice!

Bulls choked late in 7, easy lay up missed to make it one point game.

Cavs and Atlanta will be an awesome match up...

And i expect a MVP performance from you tonight!

[BN01]

Heh, ive been a big fan of the Nuggets this season, but even i can see they wont make the final. I think they'll get past the Mavs, but thats as far as they'll go.

Likely a Cavs v Lakers final imo.

[e30_power]

Lebron for MVP! go the cavaliers!!

I hope its cavs n lakers for the finals that would be a interesting game

[schnoods]

I hope Boston Go all the way.

Ray Allen is in smoking form, just gotta keep big baby Davis from getting fouled out.

[rucker_]

Definatly looking at Lakers Vs Cavs for the Finals.

But if Bynum doesnt stay out of foul trouble, Yao will continue to shit on there interior defense and make life hard for the Lakers.

Denver should get past the Mavs, will be a good series to watch with SFA defense.

Atlanta and Cavs will be a tough one but you'd have to pick the Cavs in 5?
And thats if Josh Smith can contain Lebron (if possible.)

Thank god the spurs are out. Bout time the pissed off. Time to start over.

[bulkos]

yeah how was hinrich missing that last layup, awesome series though, so many ot's!, he got hammered in game 5?, smashed on the drive.
impressed with rose as well!

I heard there was quite a bit of biff in the rockets series. anyone see any?

how long has it been since atlanta made it past the first round?

[Adr3naL1N]

cavs time this year.


Not that i really care anymore my teams out, the spurs, eliminated in the first round by the mavs, poor performance that was :(

[BlueSIV]

Havent really seen much of NBA since was taken off free to air tv, now thats its back on its great. Watched most of the Bulls Celtics series and that was awsome. Bulls doing well for such a young inexperienced team. I would guess Cavs Lakers for final. If that happens i would suggest the lakers would have it.

[Silencio]

KG Come Back !!!!!!!

[ben351]

KG Come Back !!!!!!!

x2

[Jimmy_S]

+ 1 for Cavs V Lakers Final

Lebron is King! :D

[doriae86]

/waits for alem f ceric to pipe up. this shit is his bread and butter

[confuzion]

hehe.. i got nothing more to add..
celtics vs bulls = best series ive ever seen.. shame about game 7 :/

Denver's bombed and will cream Mavs (already 2 - 0) and probably play the Lakers which will be another good series..

Magic will beat Celtics imo but wont beat Cav's
So lakers vs cavs i predict in 6 or 7 kek

[1JZNOSHIT]

Denver - Cavs final!

Lebron is the master, Carmello, Chauncey and Nene are tearing it up.

Rockets shocked the Lakers in game one, would be a huge upset for them to win that series.

Watching with KEEN interest :)

[TJ]

Rose from the bulls will be a superstar.

For a team that deserved to be outside the finals, as a rookie he dragged them there, and played a ton beyond his years.

Didnt the Cavs smash the hawks last night by 26 ?

[1JZNOSHIT]

Denver has a 2-0 lead on the Mavs, Rockets up 1-0 over Lakers, Cavs up 1-0 on the Hawks and the Magic are up 1-0 on the Celtics but Boston are up by about 22pts against the Magic in Game 2 at 3/4 time. Rondo has a triple double already :)

[TJ]

Damn - Boston wiping out the lakers would be epic, and awesome. Fuck Kobe.

[adrenalin]

Denver is my team as well.

Billups is tearing it up.

LeBron james is also one of my favs playing the game at the moment.

Bulls and celtics was an awesome game. I saw a few of them at work.

Rose played insane i think it was game 5

[Jimmy_S]

Boston are up by about 22pts against the Magic in Game 2 at 3/4 time. Rondo has a triple double already :)

Rondo is a superstar! Rate him as one of the best PG's if not the best in the competition atm!

[1JZNOSHIT]

Boston and Magic tied at 1-1

Rondo finished Game 2 with;

15pts, 18asts, 11rebs, 2stls.

[BN01]

Rondo is a superstar! Rate him as one of the best PG's if not the best in the competition atm!

Pity the kid can barely hit a jump shot..

[1JZNOSHIT]

Kobe hits 40, Lakers tie series with Houston.

[rucker_]

Pity the kid can barely hit a jump shot..


+1.

Good point guard but definaly wouldnt say best in the league atm. I rate chauncy billups a ton higher than rondo.

[1JZNOSHIT]

CP3 also :)

[bulkos]

rondo 18 assists!, thought he was going to start some biff against the bulls

[adrenalin]

anyone here watching the cavaliers \ hawks game. James bombed a 3 last second from just infront of half court line. Was huge !

[rucker_]

Kobe holding shit down!

[1JZNOSHIT]

Nuggets win a thriller and go 3-0! 106 to 105. Chauncey the king with 32pts. Melo hit the game winning 3 with seconds left.

Cavs chop the Hawks to go 3-0 with a 97-82 win. Lebron drops 47pts, 12 boards and 8 assists!

[BN01]

Heh, yeah, Hawks aint getting anywhere near winning a game in that matchup. If they didnt have the injuries, they mightve grabbed one game, maybe, but not now. Cavs FTW.

[BlueSIV]

Yeah i was happy, decided to go to the gym and The Cavs Hawks game was on espn. Good motivation i spose. That series is all but lost for the hawks, just a matter of whos next really!

[adrenalin]

anyone know where i can download these games

Missed the denver + cleveland games

[confuzion]

heard during the cavs game that yao ming has another stress fracture in his foot/leg or something so is out for the playoffs.. goodbye rockets!

Lebron murdered the hawks.. they have no answer!

[adrenalin]

yep rockets are def fucked if thats the case.

Atlanta havnt had answers in any of the games against them

[rucker_]

Denver wooooo.
Anyone see Dahntay Jones get up Erick Dampier? WAS HUGE!

[schnoods]

Boston ties the series 2-2 all against the Magic, Buzzer beater Jumpshot from Glen Davis wins the game at orlando 95-94.

Gonna be a good series.

[1JZNOSHIT]

heard during the cavs game that yao ming has another stress fracture in his foot/leg or something so is out for the playoffs.. goodbye rockets!

Rockets take Game 4 without Ming! 99-87.

[adrenalin]

Boston ties the series 2-2 all against the Magic, Buzzer beater Jumpshot from Glen Davis wins the game at orlando 95-94.

Gonna be a good series.

How huge was it !!!!

Pierce went cold last 1\4 didnt expect them to win it.

2 \ 2 now

[HANS YOLO]

Rockets take Game 4 without Ming! 99-87.

are the Lakers going to get over Houston? I want to see a Lebron V Kobe showdown!

[adrenalin]

i reckon they will

Hope Denver stay in it but.

[rucker_]

Fuckin glen davis i hate you.

Boston all tied up. Should get the job done a home.. how big is Courtny Lee for magic!

Rondo still out doing himself in the post season.!

Lakers played terrible today and the rockets were really on fire. But lakers should still get the win at home.

[TJ]

FML not being able to see these live , anyone record these off of onehd ?

[adrenalin]

TJ i found a site

http://bt.davka.info/

Still downloading cleveland game so the speed is crap.

[rucker_]

Thats the site i always use they chuck the games up pretty quick..
TJ the games on ONE again tonight at 8PM.

[adrenalin]

Are they putting on the rockets \ lakers game

[1JZNOSHIT]

[adrenalin]

Good game to watch.

Pierce is awesome first half

[1JZNOSHIT]

Cavs sweep the Hawks 4-0 and the Mavs get one up on the Nuggets 117-119.

Nowitzki gets 44pts and 13 boards, Melo finished with 41pts and 11 boards.

[TJ]

Cavs is no surprise

[rucker_]

Cavs is no surprise

You told me it was going to be an 'interesting' series.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Lakers and Celtics go 3-2 up on Rockets and Magic.

[BN01]

Damn you Celtics!

[1JZNOSHIT]

Nuggets progress to Conference Finals! 124-110.

Chauncey dominated with 28pts, 12asts and 7 boards.

[TJ]

Boston and Magic take it to 7 - Howard had a ripper game

Lakers and Rockets go to 7 - just watched it live, and Rockets played an outstanding game

Orlando and Houston to bust out some epic upsets ?

[BN01]

Rockets started on a flyer this morning! Was tighter after half time, then i had to stop watching at the end of the 3rd.

Did Rockets run away with it, or stay tight?

[TJ]

Lakers had the big run into the third, but the rockets steadied, and got it back out to above ten with ease till the end of the game.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Conference finals!

Lakers vs Nuggets
Cavs vs Magic

Bring on a Carmello vs Lebron final!

[TJ]

Orlando smashed boston, yeah boi!

[Syncope]

I can't believe everyone is still following the finals after the Hornets went out.

[[FFOUR]]

Two very good matchups, can't wait for it to all start (Weds)....couch will need to be replaced.

[nicecar]

Lakers/Cavs final, as much as i hate lebron...cavs look too strong

[1JZNOSHIT]

whats there to hate about Lebron!?

[nicecar]

Hes a great player but so cocky to go with it, prefer jordan/kobe modesty etc etc

[adrenalin]

denver \ cavs final.

[[FFOUR]]

Jordan and Kobe modest? Hahahaha.

They are all cocky and rightly so, you have to be at that level. Trash talk and mind games are all part of it.

[nicecar]

LOL i definately wouldnt say theyre at the same level

I will love lebron for you.

[TJ]

Kobe's the worst for it by far. And the most selfish. LeBron puts on a fucking good show !

[rucker_]

Denver will def. Lakers in 5 Games:lol:

[Jimmy_S]

LOL.. can't believe anyone could think Kobe is more modest than Lebron...

From the interview's I've seen, I think he is pretty modest considering his ability! and how young he is!!

[1JZNOSHIT]

LOL.. can't believe anyone could think Kobe is more modest than Lebron...

From the interview's I've seen, I think he is pretty modest considering his ability! and how young he is!!

+ 1

Lebron has matured well beyond his years. He is one of the most unselfish players in the league, one of the best scorers and one of the best defenders in the game and probably will be for many years to come.

Watch him play, when he is on song he kills any defense. He is a class act and doesnt big note himself. when interviewed, he does expect very high things from himself but he always seems to pull it off. Sign of a true champion. He talks the talk & walks the walk.

As an allround player, he is as good as Jordan was I believe.

Thats about spot on! And from what ive seen of him if he dont have the shot or cant take it in he passes it of to someone who is open, Both jordan and kobe scored massive but also have massive amounts of attempts cause the ball always goes to them.

+ 1

Thats also why I see him as clearly the better player than both Kobe and D.Wade as Lebron kills both of them defensively and in terms of "team play"

IMO anyway!

[rucker_]

Chris Anderson > Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Jordan..

[1JZNOSHIT]

The BIRDMAN!

[adrenalin]

Lol ...

He is lucky to have gotten a second chance with denver

[1JZNOSHIT]

LA took game 1 by 2 pts! 105 -103.

Kobe dropped 40, and Carmello dropped 39.

[adrenalin]

Fuck !!! :|

Kobe better of not dropped the last score for LA. :(

[TJ]

Fek :(

[1JZNOSHIT]

Denver had a 2pt lead at 3/4 time too, so the last 1/4 must have been good.

[rucker_]

Denver were up 7 in the last quarter. FML fuck you kobe.

[[FFOUR]]

Fuck !!! :|

Kobe better of not dropped the last score for LA. :(

He dropped their last 6pts on free throws, great game. Shame Denver couldn't hold on from their hot start, Melo was stroking it in the first!

[confuzion]

Watched it on fox tonight, real awsome and close game throughout..
Kobe closed with 18 in the 4th.. is the man what can i say.. :)

[BN01]

Wow. Awesome game. Was really hoping for a Nuggets win. Oh well, Game 2!

[adrenalin]

cleveland lost to orlando by 1.

Lebron got 49 which is a new playoff high.

Cleveland rely to heavily on lebron and it showed at the end when he was absolutely rooted he had very little help bar dolente west sinking a big 3.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Magic 107
Cavs 106

Upset or what!

Lebron dropped 49 though. Cavs dont lose many at home so thats a HUGE upset.

[adrenalin]

denver \ orlando final issit ?

They will bounce back and take series 4 -1

[TJ]

Cleveland rely to heavily on lebron and it showed at the end when he was absolutely rooted he had very little help bar dolente west sinking a big 3.

We were chatting about this last night at bball, the second Lebron falters, they are going to be in trouble because they are relying too heavily on him.

[adrenalin]

He still managed 49 points but yea the moment he tires out or goes cold they lose.

They led by 15 at half time and pissed there lead away in the third quarter

[adrenalin]

oh and why does ilgaulkaus always shoot from top of the key. He gets like 1 \ 7 and is the biggest waste. His 3 point ability is shit house.

[rucker_]

Ilgauskas has a top 15-18 foot jumper man id let him take them all day.
He can step out and hit that shot thats why he is so valuable, also draws players like dwight howard out of the paint.

Watched the game this morning, lebron is a monster. Cavs bench were a bunch of fail. think they managed 8 points in total. Orlando bench had like 25-30.
Rashed lewis was hot as in the last half i think he hit his last 7 shots.
Mo williams and crew need to step up and help lebron and knock down shots if they are gunna win.
And also FUCK ME who saw mo williams 3/4 court heave?

[adrenalin]

Haha yea i saw that how awesome was it.

Yes he can hit them but check his FG %. Its fucking shithouse.

Yes he drew dwight howard out which allowed Lebron to go inside but fuck everytime that pingpingpingping shot i was getting pissed off.

Also some serious bullshit foul calls as well.

Game 2 of denver \ L.A so here is hoping denver can square it up.

[rucker_]

haha,
Yes cmon fucking denver. Game1 shouldnt have been lost. But seriously that could fuck us up for the whole series.
To win Game 1 IN LA... would have given us sooo much momentum into game 2..
Now we go back to LA for game 2 knowing WE through the ball away and lost the game.
Should be an interesting series.

[[FFOUR]]

Of course the Cavs rely on LeBron alot, hes the best player in the game. But they have built a decent supporting cast around him now so I think they'll be find.

Don't forget they had 8 days off coming into this game so they may have been a little rusty.




Yes he can hit them but check his FG %. Its fucking shithouse.



Not that bad, 45-47% for both the regular season and the playoffs. He knocks that outside shot down quite well, decent 3pt shooter.

[confuzion]

fark just watched it.. what an epic game! ahh me nba..
Dwight got some pretty bullshit foul calls and Lebron is just a monster, cant defend him at all..

[confuzion]

lol i remember in nba live 95 i think it was.. i always used to get ilgauskas and shoot 3's and theyd go in.. hell pissed mates off haha

[iluv2moan]

Rashed lewis was hot as in the last half i think he hit his last 7 shots.

he was on fire in last half, ball never looked like missing each time it left his hands. he won the game for them imo.

as much as i wanted orlando to win, i would have loved to see crowds response if mo williams scored that shot from the jump ball on the buzzer - was so close

[adrenalin]

exactly !!!

that shot alone was awesome catch and throw with a second to go.

Yea not denying he cant hit them it just seems a waste when someone like mo williams \ delonte west or lebron james can take a 3 and are more likely to hit it.

You cant shut down lebron. Only hand in the face and make it difficult.

Yea i dont mind rashard lewis he isnt to shabby. Him and dwight howard make a decent pair. Still dont have shit on lebron + mo teamup.

Cavs \ Denver for finals ! still stand by it

[1JZNOSHIT]

all tied @ 1 game a piece, nuggets win 106-103.

carmello hit 34 and Chauncey 27.

their back!

[TJ]

Yes!!!!

[rucker_]

YYEEEAAAAAAH WE BACK!!!

Down by 14 at one stage.. them up by 7... and win by 3! ill take it!

Time to go back home and dominate!

[1JZNOSHIT]

yeah good chance to go 3-1 now. Would love to see a Carmello/Lebron face off in the finals.

[shibby]

apsalute bullshit that shot from james with 1 sec to go...
:O

[TJ]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

what a game! so happy i got an early night and got up to watch!!!

thank you one hd, thank you even more lebron james!!!

[iluv2moan]

best thing about nba - they are nail biters all the way down to the last 1/2 a second hahah

[1JZNOSHIT]

fuck yes!

[GhostFc3s]

F**k being at work :(

[Soul]

wat the fuck

[TJ]

Also great game off the bench by pavlovic :D

[singh]

i missed the second half dammit - cant seem to find if they're showing the replay today...

[HANS YOLO]

best thing about nba - they are nail biters all the way down to the last 1/2 a second hahah

watched the first half...massive lead, thought the Cavs had it in the bag - unfortunately missed this because of training - FML!

[[FFOUR]]

I think my house nearly fell down from all the jumping and screaming after LeBron's winning shot, sensational!!

[BN01]

Prick. Fucking prick.


Sigh. Stupid Magic :(

[TJ]

Hahaha wasnt far behind Jan!

Parents come in wondering wtf is going on :D

[rucker_]

830pm tonight replay for everyone else.

FUCK ME what A GAME.
Magic did so well to get back into that game. and to lose it like that. sickening.

Cavs needs to be VERY careful. Both games cavs have been up 17 and 23 points. You shouldnt be losing games like that.

Once orlando go back home and get off to a good start, cavs are going to find it tough!

[BN01]

Where did you see replay at 8.30?

When i looked on Onehd.com.au this morning there was no reply scheduled.

[[FFOUR]]

F1 Qual. is on at 8.30pm as far as I can tell.

[adrenalin]

haha i was watching at work and i reckon people in cinema 3 would of heard me yell at lebrons shot.

Absolute bullshit.

I still rest my case with ilgauskas and wasting shots on 3 point attempts.

None from 3 was it ?

Dwight howard was quiet compared to game 1 so cleveland did well to keep him well defended they just need to work on turkgulow

[xr06t]

nothing better on a sat morning than an nba nailbiter!!

unreal finish!

[bulkos]

OMG! lebron ftw!, (thats up there with Jordan over Ehlo)
had to stop watching just after half, looked like cavs had it,
howard wasnt gettin much fed to him, noticed the assists were down massively on game 1, great team d by cavs & pav stepped up

looks like its going to be a long series!

[[FFOUR]]

^ funny you mention Ehlo...taken from ESPN:


CLEVELAND -- Michael Jordan no longer has the most famous buzzer-beater in Cleveland sports history.

The Shot has been topped.

LeBron James made one better.

James dropped a 3-pointer from the top of the key over Orlando's Hedo Turkoglu as the final horn sounded Friday night to give the Cavaliers, their season a heartbeat from major trouble, a 96-95 victory over the Magic that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one game apiece.

From 23 feet -- matching his jersey number and Jordan's -- James hit a shot that will go down as one of the defining moments in a career that's just hitting its stride.

"That guy is not in the league any more," James said of Jordan. "The other 23 is on the good side now."

[TJ]

Big call!

Sure its good to talk it up, but Jordans entire move was probably better then Lebrons.

Not taking anything away from it, it was brilliant, but Jordan runs, has to make room, steady, get up, hang as ehlo tries to block, then pop it in.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Not taking anything away from it, it was brilliant, but Jordan runs, has to make room, steady, get up, hang as ehlo tries to block, then pop it in.

Lebron had no time to make room, steady, get up, hang as Turkgolu tried to block, and pop it in. Seemingly effortless compared to Jordans attempt.

Jordan over Ehlo, still #1.

[BlueSIV]

Im really hopeing this game is gonna be replayed tonight cause i missed it cause of work as i will most of the others if they dont start replaying them again! PS The finals tv guide has been updated for the next week or so. All Cavs Orlando games playing though.

[adrenalin]

Yea Monday and wednesday i believe for the games 3

[confuzion]

my fucking god. amazing is the word :)
these playoffs (especially conf fnals) have been so fucking good.. Magic did so well to come from 23 down to be up by 2 at the end but not to be..

[rucker_]

Shit my bad i thought i checked my guide and i said there was a reply! i think they are playing game 3 twice on sunday.

Still pretty amazed at the game.

Lebrons shot still had nothing on Jordans cmon guy it was a catch and shoot.

[adrenalin]

No way jordans was good actually extremely good but lebron has pulled off these buzzer beater shots on so many occasions now. Give him a few more years and i think he might topple MJ.

[confuzion]

hmm i dont think so but only time will tell

[1JZNOSHIT]

fucking Kobe beat the Nuggets.

103-97.

[BN01]

Sigh. Kobe and Lebron have ruined my weekend.

[TJ]

No way jordans was good actually extremely good but lebron has pulled off these buzzer beater shots on so many occasions now. Give him a few more years and i think he might topple MJ.

And Jordan didnt?

[1JZNOSHIT]

oh Jordan did!

Check out this link and peruse the Jordan buzzer beaters, and these were just playoff matches, not regular season! Some memorable moments in there too from years gone by.

http://www.nba.com/amazing/

[[FFOUR]]

Another early morning infront of the TV but as usual the 2009 NBA playoffs made it worthwhile - close most of the way until Kobe sank them at the end.

Loving it, the stars are putting on some brilliant shows.

[confuzion]

Totally agree.. Kobe manages to close the deal, and in Denver which is a pretty big task this season..
Getting sick of Fisher, he is useless lately, imo put Shannon Brown on pls.. Ariza on the other hand is coming up with some bombed plays down the stretch

[TJ]

Carmelo looked pissed after the fail pass in and having to foul, which fouled him out.

[TJ]

See, if you look closely, the defender doesnt even get off the floor!

Feet are planted the entire time.

Jordan had to get air, wait for ehlo to start falling, then pop the shot.

[[FFOUR]]

Which shot was more difficult isn't really the issue, they are comparing the most "famous" shot in Cleveland history - the hometown hero makes a tough shot to save the series/season for his team, Jordan was the enemy remember so the fans have been looking for something to top it.

[TJ]

Ah yes, just re-read that, and missed that important bit the first time.

In that case, then yes, 20 years later, their memories can be replaced with a positive one :)

[Adr3naL1N]

Lebrons one shot could be the difference between winning the championship or being eliminated in the eastern conference finals.

That jordan shot, is arguabley the greatest shot in the history of the NBA.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Lebron hits 41, Cavs go down by 10pts 99-89

Magic up 2-1 in the series. Pressure is on for the Cavs. Lebron not getting much help from his team mates.

[TJ]

Was about to say, they gave him nothing out there.

[1JZNOSHIT]

yeah he is flying solo, even Mo has had a sh*thouse series against the Magic.

[rucker_]

Lebron shot like shit today. And still scored 41, orlando giving him too many layups and letting him get to the line too much.

Dwight howard got ripped on that last play where he blocked lebron. Worst call this playoffs.

[iluv2moan]

cavs struggling against orlando.. i think magics going to make it on to the final

howard just needs to control himself and stop racking up fouls

[adrenalin]

yep as said without lebron there rooted.

However he cant be expected to score everything. Mo williams + delonte west both scored shit.

yet again ilgauskaus was 0 \ 3 for 3 pointers.

Dwight howard posted up awesome.

[adrenalin]

oh and why is fucking justin timberlake commentating that video.

[[FFOUR]]

Horrible shooting from the perimeter by the Cavs today, LeBron going to the basket was all they had.....why he settled for jumpers so often I don't know.

Next game is huge, a must win for the Cavs or I thinks its goodbye for 2009.

[adrenalin]

yea 3 - 1 is pretty dam hard to come back.

Next game still in orlando.

Game 5 at Cleveland so next one they def need to tie it up 2 - 2

[TJ]

Well Denver just smashed the Lakers :D

Ooooh yeah!

[BN01]

Fuck yes! 2-2

[adrenalin]

i wouldnt call 19 points a smashing but yes good to see 2-2.

Now to see if cleveland can match.

[TJ]

LOL you wouldnt call it a smashing?

Its not freaking AFL!, thats a 7 possession game, and thats its 6 3's at least.

Denver controlled the game for most of it.

[rucker_]

19 point win in the playoffs = smashing!

Fuck yes!

[TJ]

How was Birdmans block and his put back dunk/rebound - awesome.

There was no mega star performance in the denver team tonight, but everyone contributed very well.

[iluv2moan]

shame one hd isnt showing the lakers/nuggest playoff :(

[1JZNOSHIT]

JR Smith & K-Mart stepped up to cover Carmellos shocking game.

Kleiza had another handy game off the bench too.

Nuggets dominated the boards, awesome result.

Beating Kobe and the Lakers in the playoffs by 19pts is a smashing!

[BN01]

Mello 3-19. Nice.....

[TJ]

If it was the Cavs and LeBron they would be fucked...

They still won by 19 after their star failed so badly. Tells you the team is working awesomely well.

[1JZNOSHIT]

yeah nuggets had alot of support off the bench.

Mo Williams, Z, Ben Wallace, Delonte West and Co need to lift their game and support Lebron.

[rucker_]

Exactly. Melo was sick aswell plus did his ancle at the start. He said in his press conference after the game he felt like he had no legs or energy the whole game.
So explains the bad shooting performance.
Lucky for us we have an awsome bench. None more awsome than the birdman of corse!

[TJ]

Mo is struggling big time - no confidence in himself atm.

And that could end up being the difference between Cleveland and Orlando.

[adrenalin]

no its not.

Once it gets in the last minute all they do is constantly foul the other team and go to the line and shoot 2.

Plus they take 20 second time outs so literally the play goes for a second or two and there at the line.

Its the biggest lead out of these two teams but i wouldnt call it a smashing.

30+ for me is a thrashing.

I dont care either way as denver is my team :)

[TJ]

You make it sound like none of us have ever seen a game of basketball.

Trust me, the win was a smashing of the Lakers. foul shots or not. They controlled the game for most of the 48 minutes.

[1JZNOSHIT]

it was the Lakers biggest loss for the year, in their most important game of the year.

[TJ]

http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2009/05/25/nba_lal_den_0040800314_recap.nba/index.html

That kinda sums it up.

Highlight reel for Nuggets has a few guys
Lakers = Kobe.

[rucker_]

Quoted from Kobe's postgame press conference "They kicked our ass, they whooped us. Period."

Even kobe admits to smashing.

[rucker_]

ALSO does anyone else on here share an insane hatrid for Pau Gasol?

[BN01]

ALSO does anyone else on here share an insane hatrid for Pau Gasol?

*raises hand*

[adrenalin]

dont hate him but he does piss me off

[[FFOUR]]

Do none of you guys work that you can watch and post about the game by lunch time? :p Or do you read the review online?

Either way, just finished watching the recording.....good game for the Nuggets, was really hoping for them to tie it up and make this a series! Billups made some big shots as did the others to cover Melo's ass.

Hopefully the Cavs can do the same tomorrow!

[Brockas]

How was Billups' trip though?

He may not be a "dirty" player, but my god that was fucking filthy. He should be suspended for that.

[TJ]

Jan, nba.com broadband pass, and friends login details ftw.

Means I cant use it out of work, dialup ftl, but owe Paul for Sunday night and one hd for the rest :D

Paul, yeah, disappointing, hes better then that.

[[FFOUR]]

Ah I see.

It wasn't Billups, Dahntay Jones was the one who tripped Kobe. And yes, dirty!

[Brockas]

Ah I see.

It wasn't Billups, Dahntay Jones was the one who tripped Kobe. And yes, dirty!

too right you are.

how pathetic is it, cant stop him, so trip him. bah.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Dahntay Jones is a shitpingpingpingping anyway...

for anyone who missed it....

[TJ]

Wont be seeing Orlando and Cavs today, 5 hour training course FTL.

Go Cavs, hope to see a good result when i get back :)

[[FFOUR]]

Getting home at 3pm to catch the replay on One. There are some things in life that are more important than work.

[adrenalin]

Well said

Like watching it and getting paid for it by work :shake:

[BN01]

Fuck uni, im watching this morning :D

Go Magic!

[HANS YOLO]

is the Cavs game replayed tonight on ONE? currently at work...FML!

[1JZNOSHIT]

Cleveland in trouble, Alston & Pietrus are killing them from beyond the arc!

[1JZNOSHIT]

Overtime! Magic hit a 3 with 6s to play to take 2 pt lead, Cavs hit back with a double to tie it on the buzzer!

[1JZNOSHIT]

its all over, Cleveland are in trouble.... 116-114 to the Magic.

lebron with another huge solo effort, 44pts/12rebs/7asts.

[HANS YOLO]

Huge effort by Bron yet again...but game over, they lost :(

for anyone who missed it....

what a dog act
clearly was deliberate

[TJ]

Fuck @ score :(

Dont see the cavs winning 3 in a row.

[shibby]

I cant see cavs getting up now either.
A one man team can only do so much.

[1JZNOSHIT]

having to win at home, then go back to orlando and try and win will be a big ask.

if they had 2 home games in a row, you might give them a slim hope.

Would love to see Lebron square off with Kobe.

[hoony]

its all over, Cleveland are in trouble.... 116-114 to the Magic.

lebron with another huge solo effort, 44pts/12rebs/7asts.

was hoping to read something for this

was shattered when the James got the two free throws in to send it into overtime...

only one more game for the Magic in the Eastern Conference!!! w00t

[e30_power]

yeh I dont see the cavs winning 3 games in a row..

either way the finals is going to be a good game as this season has been awsume!!

[rucker_]

Lebron got bailed out at the end anyway that was a shithouse foul. Lebron comes charging through all fucking game. Sick of all this bullshit blocking fouls they are calling. Looked like perfect defense from Petrious to me.

Reffing is soft this playoffs.

[1JZNOSHIT]

yeah refs are failing.

must be taking notes from AFL umpires.

[[FFOUR]]

Another brilliant game, this series has had it all! Shame that LeBron just can't get any support, he needs some of the Magic's shooters to help him!

Their 3pt shooting has been too much for him (them?) to overcome as sadly most of the Cav's shooters are slumping at the wrong time.

If you watch the replay you can see Pietrus hook him with his right arm dragging him down. There are BS calls both ways and as has always been the way you get rewarded for taking it to the basket - which LeBron happens to be bloody good at.

[Brockas]

Left uni early to get home and watch the replay, wasn't really going for either team, just wanted to see a decent game.

Was rewarded, brilliant game, albeit a bit scrappy at times. Cav's offense looked really stagnant, Pietrus and Alston on the other hand weren't having any troubles.


This years playoffs have been awesome.

[Splat_man]

I enjoyed watching Alston bombing in the 3's in the first half.

[bulkos]

hows the trip!
cheers 4 posting it

so we could end up with a magic nuggets final series ...... who woulda thought that!
my money was one cavs lakers (with no garnett for celts)

[iluv2moan]

if magic make it to the finals, my money is on the other team they play.

[confuzion]

Another awsome game between those 2 teams, enjoy watching.. If only Mo and West would show up they could help lebron and perhaps win a game, Magic are just too talented/tall/3 point kings and the cavs have massive matchup issues..
As much as I want Cavs to Win (I wanna see Kobe vs Lebron) there's like 96% against the cavs going back through history down 3-1 to win

On the other coast, I think LA is in a bit of trouble also, and we will see today!

[TJ]

Game 5 of nuggets and lakers is on shortly :D

Go Denver!

[singh]

Go Nuggets

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naNJ3_PswVw

[1JZNOSHIT]

lakers take a comfortable win. 3-2 series lead

Odum finally has a good game off the bench.

[shibby]

go magic
<3 OneHD

[TJ]

King James once again steps up and ensures we play at least one more game :D

[BN01]

Fak.

[singh]

yesssssssssscome on cavs!

Much better from the cavs today - shut out Howard early, and cavs were a bit less one man team today.

[Jimmy_S]

Wooooot come on Lebron!!!

[rucker_]

Cavs are retarded. Once again fly off to a 22 point lead. All gone by half time.
Very lucky to still be in the playoffs.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Triple Double from Lebron, hes a star and holding the team together...

[shibby]

Lebron was hogging it in last quater :P

[[FFOUR]]

Fucking brilliant, the guy is amazing. That stretch in the 4th with the game on the line against a good defender (Pietrus) shows just how great he is.

32 straight points that he either scored or assisted on, nuff said.

Good to see Mo' and co finally hit some shots, but there are still issues when you surrender yet another big lead.

[BN01]

Ahh me one-man team :p

[1JZNOSHIT]

Ahh me one-man team :p
one man team makes it to the conference finals, says alot about the one man then doesnt it?

Lebron is the king.

[[FFOUR]]

Ahh me one-man team :p

Zydrunas Ilgauskas 16pts
Delonte West 13pts
Mo Williams 24pts

LeBron 12 ast

He's gotta make do with whats around him, not his fault he doesn't have 3 legit scorers supporting him like Howard does.

[rucker_]

Nuggest are going to lose. FML.
Down like 18 with 4 minutes to go.

[TJ]

Yup - Lakers in 6. Fek.

[1JZNOSHIT]

a Lebron v Kobe faceoff is the only solution now!

[[FFOUR]]

Great game by Kobe, he controlled it most of the way - dishing early and then finishing them off with his shooting late in the 3rd.

He has a great supporting cast who all seem to be playing well.

Bad luck for the Nuggets and it was 'Melo's birthday today too.

[Syncope]

You guys have all seen the NBA.com finals ads, featuring Kanye - Amazing yeah?

hahaha thats fucking good.

Dirks not caucasian, hes european and larry bird is indian! haha, love it. Top find.

[confuzion]

Woot Lakers!!! Big ups to Denver for an awsome season.. maybe next year :)

[iluv2moan]

now that was a thrashing.........

stand a chance against lakers if they keep playing like that

[BlueSIV]

I think the Magic are gonna get put in their place pretty bad starting next week. Lakers actually have a decent centre and should defend all the magics 3 pointers better than Cavs. Centres shouldnt be scoring 40 point games, every point they earn should be hard not a given. Ilgauskas is crap!

[BN01]

Manchild > King

Good win!

But ya, dont think they'll beat Lakers.

[confuzion]

Hmm my fav team is the lakers but I wouldn't count the magic out at all, they are very underrated and have ALOT of weapons.. either way should be an awsome series and I cant wait :)
Unfortunate for the cavs to go out like they did.. they need to get a younger/faster center for starters, to defend people like howard..

[[FFOUR]]

Unless the Cavs do just that and get a reliable 2nd scoring option I think we'll see LeBron bolting for the Knicks in 2010 along with another superstar free agent as has been rumoured.

[iluv2moan]

quick google showed that orlando beat the lakers in both regular season games.

perhaps writing them off to early.

[TJ]

i hope both teams in a mysterious house fire

[1JZNOSHIT]

Nuggets and Cavs are gone, im jumping on the Magic dream boat :)

Would be a pity to see Lebron jump ship to another team, but this years "failure" wont help the Cavs retaining him. They need a decent scoring big man to help out. Z and Varejao are slow and Ben Wallace is well past his used by date.

[e30_power]

sad to see the cavs go. but on the other hand lakers vs mag is gonna be awsume!

[Silencio]

Unless the Cavs win it next year, Lebron will jump ship. Lakers are going to win.... I hope

[adrenalin]

Very disappointing game and agree i dont think lebron will hang around.

Good to see someone else thinks ilgauskaus is crap. He is good at the long jumper but is to slow and shit at defence.

Someone like Howard working with Lebron would be awesome to see.

Im going for Magic as they havnt won it since 95?

[BN01]

Dont think they won it in 95..? Just havent even made the final since then.

[TJ]

Nope they lost to Houston back then Im pretty sure.

Its when Jordan came back and they beat Chicago im fairly sure?

[1JZNOSHIT]

nah 1995 they were the Conference Champs, but got smashed by the Rockets in the finals. I remember it fondly, being a big fan of the Shaq/Penny combo!

[Silencio]

That was houston's back to back after beating the knicks the year before.
Hakeem Olajuwon was unstoppable

[TJ]

Hakeem the dream!

Wasnt really going for either team...

But ill put my hand up for Orlando, its been a long road back.

[adrenalin]

Good old anfernee hardaway . I think Orlando have a chance if they keep dominating from 3

[[FFOUR]]

The 3 worked so well against the Cavs since they couldn't defend Howard with single coverage leaving shooters wide open - the Lakers on the other hand have talented post defenders (Gasol and Bynum) so I can't see the Magic getting as many open looks.

In other news there is a chance Jameer Nelson (their injured Allstar PG) will be back for the Magic, would be a huge lift as he led them in scoring in both wins over the Lakers during the regular season.

[TJ]

Awesome if it happens!

First game is when?

[confuzion]

Friday on Fox
or Saturday on OneHD

[rucker_]

I hope Howard elbows Pau Gasol in the temple and he can never play again.

Bynum will foul out every game trying to defend Howard. Gasol is too piss weak to defend him.

If Howard can make his free throws they will be right up there. I personally think Orlando in game 7.

Pietrius needs to STOP kobe (if possible).

[[FFOUR]]

Foxtel FTW.

Live at 9am Friday on ESPN with a replay at 6pm.

[upgarage]

LAL FTW

the final should be on www.justin.tv (http://www.justin.tv)

Who has foxtel and wants to let strangers in their house?

Haha otherwise dont know if the casino sports area will have it on screen ?
