Well in my book, that's a diffrent story I ain't shit talking, fans can shit talk as much as they want tbbh, but dont spill drinks on peeps. Just bad stuff for proud organization as Boston clearly is.

Nice try ecstatica.

I think he was kidding though guys lol...(hoping)...

Great game by Lebron though. I was only able to watch highlights from the game, a review of all of his shots, and then his interview live after the game. But I have to say (like sly) I think he finally gets it lol. He is like fuck it, fuck everyone and all the haters, this shit is just about me and the team, why do I care what everyone thinks. I think he is focused now in a way I don't think he understood before so good for him. Like others have said, whether he wins or loses from now on, I don't anticipate him going down without a fight like he might be blamed for at times. But enough of my opinion and pseudo-psychology...

As for the actual gameplay and energy I saw from him, the proof was all in the difference of the way he went up for that lightly-tossed layup that was blocked by KG at the end of game 5 (I was wondering why he would go up like that at the time.. with everything riding on those points for game 5 of the ECF!) and pretty much all the plays he scored on last night. Much more aggressive, and nice post-ups lol.

Just noticed no basketball today, feels like a while since there hasn't been ANY games going on
edit: wasn't able to watch the game OKC won either so hurts even more...oh well shall be good tomorrow. And BOSTON SUCKS.

I cant equate it to anything but him being the best player in the world currently. Even NBA players were tweeting about him going off. Boston was forcing him into relatively hard looks, in the paint to start I thought we did a good job, and he eventually moved outside and continued to bottom every shot. There was just no stopping him last night, he was on a mission. Truly a historical night, which, i hope will be squelched by a Boston game 7 win.

And keep dreaming Holcan 8)

edit: and I need/want to hear predictions from take-it-to-the-bank RowdierBob for this game when you are ready. Also of the Pacquaio-Bradley fight while you are at it lol. Should I do 4:1 on Bradley?..drop them pearls

My favourite part was Jordan Crawford was shocked someone could get 30 in the first half, god knows he has tried so many times.

Seems like lebron didn't give a shit. Coming off a 45 point game with ridiculous stats and winning by 20 in a win or die game has gotta outweigh a lot of things like a drink being spilled on you. But yeah, hopefully that fan is banned, fined, and whatever else. That's the kind of shit that starts riots.

Going to maintain what I have said before, and that is the Thunder are looking unstoppable. Doesn't matter who wins the series, they can go to almost anyone on their team and expect them to score and put up solid numbers, whether its Durant, Ibaka, Harden, or Westbrook.

Not to mention that the Thunder have become a pick and roll defending monster of a team. They shut down SA, who tore them a new one in the first 2 games with Tony Parker, but once they figured out how to defend it, Parker wasn't having the standout games he had in the first games.

Durant will be able to handle LeBron most likely. They can put Ibaka on him as well, as well as bring the double team on him to make sure he is contained, forcing the rest of the Heat to actually help out, unlike last night. LeBron shouldn't be able to score more than 30-35 points against the Thunder if they bring their best every night.

The Celtics aren't going to offer much of a challenge probably. I never know what Celtic team is going to show up: The washed up band of old guys, or the old guys that show age doesn't mean everything along with their young PG Rondo.

Consistency Boston. Need to show some.

Lol I dont even hate Bron. I actually think hes the greatest talent in history of bball, what he does with that is another story.

Regardless, I dont mind that someone spilled lukewarm beer on his balding head, he should be able to take some fan love given his ambitions.

I never claimed Cs would advance even being up 3-2, but history taught me that whenever they can postpone the due date for their final paper they do just that. Hopefully Pierce doesnt come out softer than childs turds for game 7. I feel okay about it, should be close.

O_o yar, no cap space until 2014.


Don't forget Biedrens. He's owed something like 9mill too =/


You poor bastards.


Actually, if advanced stats are right, Bogut/Lee/Biedrins is an imposing frontcourt. Powerful rebounding, good defense, efficient scoring. It may not be so bad. Jefferson, on the other hand, meh.

Brandon Rush and Stephen Curry are also rated pretty highly.

The tanking this season masks a bright future. I can see them almost making the playoffs.

P.S. They shoulda kept Jeremy Lin


Beidrins is nothing. Less than nothing. Actually I guess he's about 9 million. Regardless, I'd rather have the human garbage that is Kwame Brown back then Beans. David Lee doesn't play defense, I don't know what advanced stats you're getting that from. He may look better on D next year with Bogut on the court, but defense and rebounding aren't really his fortes (ignore the rebounding stats, he doesn't get them when it really matters). The only time I've ever seen David Lee play great defense was when he stopped Kevin Love during his double/double streak a year and a half ago. THE ONLY TIME.

The Warriors are sadly built to win now, as in for the next few years, BUT it's on such shaky ground. They have 4 picks in the upcoming draft, but they don't need all four (esp when you consider the 2nd rders will most likely languish in the D-League for the first year or two). There's just so many questions for the Warriors and their hopes in contending next year... Will Curry's ankles hold up? (Probably not). Can Bogut stay healthy? (50/50 at this point I guess). Will they package their picks + Dorell Wright to get Iguodala? (I'm praying for it, they aren't moving the albatross that is Richard Jefferson anytime soon). Will Jeremy Lin fully recover from his injuries and follow up his brilliant performance of last season? Will they finally amnesty Andris Biedrins? Oh wait..

It could be worse under this regime though. At least this FO didn't trade C-Webb for Tom Gugliotta and garbage.

How on earth did they pawn off Jefferson with a 10 mill. contract? Was it to compensate for sending Kwame Brown to the Bucks?

GSW might make the playoffs next year if they get a solid SF in this years draft (or make a trade for their pick), surely (emphasis on might)?


They traded Stephen Jackson for Richard Jefferson and a 1st rd draft pick because Stephen Jackson is an idiot who can never be welcomed to the Oracle Arena ever again.

http://www.iamagm.com/news/2012/05/03/funny.stephen.jackson.asked.contract.extension.48.hours.he.was.warriors.season

The Warriors really thought they could bring Stephen Jackson back to Oracle Arena until he asked Larry Riley for a contract extension immediately following the Monta Ellis-Andrew Bogut trade. Riley was surprised to find three suitors for Jackson and worked out the deal with San Antonio for Richard Jefferson and a first-round pick while Jackson was at the Minneapolis Airport and scheduled to fly to Oakland.


Anyways to keep this relevant and NBA playoff related...

No one could have really guarded LeBron last night, lol. They put like 3 or 4 different people on him, and none of them could even slow him down.

It's Hyphy. For all the good Capt Jack has done he's outdone it with all the shit he put the Dubs through. I'm glad he'll never suit up another game in a Warriors Uniform.

Really? Cause as a Clipper fan, I still like Corey Maggette, Lamar Odom, Andre Miller etc etc. I hope Elton Brand's house burns down though.

Biggest game of the season, in a year with tons of ref controversy, well lets get Scott Foster and Joey C on that officiating crew, no one will complain abouts refs now !


T_T So sad that I have to be indifferent towards the results of a huge game like this.
