Worthy of Your Attention
In a lot of ways, this weekend’s slate of games will determine whether or not we should keep paying attention to the first round. A number of teams have the golden opportunity to turn their series into dogfights, or simply start planning their summer vacations.
Hornets @ Mavs, Game 3: Chris Paul and Byron Scott vs Jerry Stackhouse and Avery Johnson. 15 Rounds. Who ya got?
Spurs @ Suns, Game 3: Do methodical, robotic teams get fired up by inflammatory comments made by the enemy? We shall find out soon enough.
Lakers @ Nuggets, Game 3: My favorite part of Game 2 of this series, was J.R. Smith talking trash to an absolutely en fuego Kobe … and getting punked on the ensuing play.
Bryant went around Smith and scored on a layup (plus the harm) to cap off his spectacular 49 point and 10 assist night. Uh, J.R., might want to stop talking for a while, champ.
Cavs @ Wizards, Game 4: Despite DeShawn Stevenson’s best attempts to make his team nearly unlikeable, I think we’d all like to see this series go the distance.
Alright, enjoy the games everyone. And try to get some fresh air, will ya. It’s beautiful outside, and you look mighty pale.

Kobe’s gonna get hate spit at him in Denver like Obama at a KKK Rally. Then he’ll feed off it and end the series in 3. No need to even play the fourth.

What happened to the world. Back in the day you better not dare trash talk MJ. I f he had a bad night, the opposing team just shut up and thanked the lord. Now bench warmers are calling out the two top players in the game? New rule…if you don’t average double figures, you’re not allowed to speak.

I blame T-Mac for this new trash-talking trend

Honestly not trying to be an a*shole here, but I just thought you’d like to know for future usage that the term is “when all is SAID and done” rather then “set and done”. Sounds similar, yes.

Eboy: My boy and I got in a argument about what the Heat should do this offseason and since they’re your favorite mistake I figured Id get your opinion. Would you rather draft Rose and try to sign Brand or draft Beasley and sign a Veteran point guard?
Apr.25 at 4:28 pm
Eboy says:
Option B, B. I’m not feeling a rookie point guard unless his last name is Paul.

The Hornets are the new Suns. The Hornets, so hot right now, the Hornets.

The Lakers are the New Spurs.
Apr.25 at 4:40 pm
B. Long says:
Eboy: Damn I new you would say that. Who the hell they gonna sign at the point? There ain’t no Vets out there and I know B Easy is gonna be a beast but don’t you think its harder to find a great young point than a great young 4?

Kadavour says:
honestly guys,damascus fields link points to si-dot-com. could you really expect much better by way of expressing thoughts coherently?
Apr.25 at 5:35 pm
B. Long says:
The Pistons need to worry bout not becoming the 07 Mavs right now and not even think about the Lakers Series yet… or even the Celtics for that matter.

To say “when you shake a tree a leppard might fall out” then to go get an AND 1 is absoulutly off the omar chart GANGSTA. you would have to have the mug of all the sprano’s, godfather, casino, and goodfellas all in a row. It gives me chills just thinking about it. Something that to this point is the one story my grandkids will hear about when reminising on KOBE one day.

Nick says:
Kb24 is like Jesus out there. He knows what is going to happen, it pleases him to make the scripture come true.
Apr.25 at 7:15 pm
Nick says:
seriously after the And 1 the look on his face along with the affirmative “Yep” he knew that was going to happen last week.

Are people actually in here comparing Kobe to Jesus? As if the comparisons to MJ aren’t ridiculous enough…now he compares to Jesus too? My god when will it end. SMH

PistonsRuleTheCourt says:
im a huge pistons fan, and yes, im dissapointed they started the series 1-2, but this cant be serious. the pistons are a soliditary squad, they dont panic. pistons’ll win the next 3 and end the series in 6. u just watch. then they beat orlando in 6, then lose to boston in 7. hornets over boston in 7 in the NBAFinals

Bubba Chuck says:
i read ur 312 comment & im in reality but im still a nuggets fan. and ur definitley not a prophet. every1 knew tha lakers would win & kobe would play good
Apr.27 at 10:20 am
B. Long says:
Being a nuggets fan is not reality but a delusional state of mind where gangsta ass tattoos are more impotrant than defense.
Apr.27 at 11:18 am
Bubbachuck says:
Technically thats not tru. I dont hav ne tattoos & i do care about defense. U should have said: “Being a nuggets PLAYER is not reality but a delusional state of mind where gangsta ass tattoos are more important than defense.”

Adrian Zapata says:
I’m amazed reading pistons fans comments. Do ya’ll realize you are in trouble? Philly is coming out swinging against them, and they have absolutely NO answer for their quickness. -
@Brad - As for your Miami Heat scenario homie, I would go with option A. It just doesn’t seem there are many veteran PG’s available this summer.
@Jason - I’m a huge Kobe fan, but even i was in disbelief with that Jesus comparison.
@any Nuggets Fan - You have a team full of thugs, you’ll never win anything.
And on a side note - Maybe the Suns should start thinking of firing Mike NO D’Antoni
