Game Wonners
Still don’t have a name for my playoff gimmick
What can I say, I like giving out awards. Player of the D.A.Y. was one player per day from all of the games on a given night. The playoffs, with their heightened importance, deserve more. I will give out a player of the game-type award to all playoff games. What will I call it? Don’t know yet. Playoffers of the Day? Eh. Let’s get right into it, since every series has played one game. These are the players that led their team to victory in game one.
DETROIT: Chauncey Billups.
CLEVELAND: LeBron.
JERSEY: Jason Kidd. Close RJ, but Kidd controlled the game.
CHICAGO: Luol Deng. Easy.
GOLDEN STATE: Baron Davis.
PHOENIX: Leandro Barbosa.
DENVER: Carmelo. Although Nene put out so much energy, he made Duncan look slow and old at times.
HOUSTON: T-Mac. Horrible first half, his team was losing. Great second half, his team won.
There you have it. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this gimmick, I am all ears as they say.

Nene did do a fantastic job on T-Robot, but the Robot looked a indecisive on quite a few post ups, especially in the 4th qtr. I expect him to recalibrate in game 2.

Performances After Yesterday Deserve A YES!!!
Or P.A.Y.D.A.Y. for short. An ode to the one man the playoffs aren’t complete without, Marv Albert.
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to that beautiful face every morning?

Max, I agree. It’s got to be a joke with some bite.

There is an old SNL skit where Marv Albert goes on Oprah to talk about the crazy sex thing. The best quote is when he says, “Usually, when I am eating pizza I do not have a FULL ERECTION! YES!.” Somebody find in on youtube if possible.

How about a “Sammy”? “The Sammies” has a good ring to it… Besides, how can you resist an eponymous award? S.A.T. word, HOLLA! … All I know is, I won’t be keeping track.

damn dallas loses the first game, this is gonna be a good series,dallas has had the best team all season but the warriors are finally all healthy with nothing to lose and ‘the baron’ is still being fueled by the rage from slam not putting him in their top 50 players list. if this goes to seven dallas will win but if warriors can steal another, it’s over baby.

L. Hughes had a decent first game, you should have thrown him a bone, cause LeBron will definately dominate the rest of the cav’s games

Melo’s crossups were pure genius though.

Whose bright idea was it to waste Marv and Steve Kerr on the Detroit/Orlando series? Why not send Kevin Harlan to that one, or maybe Mary Carrillo and the corpse of Vincent Price? Hell, I’d settle for that series only being broadcast en Español.

Why don’t we get Musberger? I would take him over anyone. Anybody remember him calling that Detroit Finals when he was yelling “what time do the bars close in this town?” and crying “Detroit has brought out the human victory cigar”? That was some stellar shit. ………………………… Baronite……..the freshest discovered element

remember i think two years ago? you guys did a faces of each serie, so every games and every series had a winner of the game and the loser. so like for gae 1 of DET-ORL you could have chauncey and dwight (horrible FTs). i know u guys remeber it and it was a really cool and innovative feature. please bring it back

Rockets vs Jazz 2 = Worst Game Ever. Houston made 34 free throws but only 30 field goals? What is the game I love so much coming to? Its ridiculous. Stop calling so many fouls! Then players will stop trying to draw them… then maybe we’ll have some fun again.
