You've probably figured this out by now, but ESPN3 is streaming all of the good games. Also, nobody's allowed to post illegal streams here how that TL has legitimized.

Celtics versus Knicks:
Any team that revolves around a volume shooter like Anthony is going to win a championship. Tmac and Iverson never got a ring and Anthony isn't either unless he changes the way he plays. I must say though, the way he shot in Games 1 and 2 against Pierce was amazing. Game 3 was a blow out but I don't think that Pierce and Allen are going to be able to go 14/19 from three point land for the rest of the playoff. Watching those shots fall were amazing though.

Orlando v. Hawks
Lucky 3 point shot; hard fouls look like they hurt.

ESPN3 still streaming Lakers versus Hornets!


to be fair, knicks defense was pretty atrocious tonight

Melo could be a really nice piece on a championship team. He is not that inefficient when his teammates are playing well. If you swapped him for Dwade on the Heat they would almost certainly be a better team, or him for Pierce on the Celtics, etc.

Poor Hornets just aren't big enough and lack some firepower on offense.

Magic trades have been horrible. I know they wanted to get rid of Lewis' contract, but Arenas is a downgrade over him. It's just funny that they're down 2-1 to a Hawks team a few years after laying the biggest beat down in NBA playoffs history. And this Hawks team doesn't seem to be better than the previous one.

And Lakers didn't seem to be shooting nor protecting the ball well during the first half. They had the lead solely because of Bynum's offensive rebounds. They just bully the Hornets whenever they actually decide to hustle.

I haven't watched many of Paul's games but he seemed to be a little out of control at the start of the game. He left his feet too many times without a pass in mind early on.

People have really short memories. Lest we forget, the Hawks were overtly trying to get their coach fired last year. It was a full-blown mutiny. You can't compare this year's Magic-Hawks series with the one from 2010. Larry Drew is employing his old coach Pat's strategy of throwing thugs at an overpowering big man, and it's working great.

I agree. Magic made some horrible trades. Turkoglu is awful. He definitely wasn't worth VC and Pietrus' bench presence. Arenas was a horrible pick up; both for his reputation and his recent play. Richardson doesn't seem like a good fit right now, but that could just be the time factor. They tried to get back Turkoglu to form the squad that took them to the finals, but they just destroyed their team even more.

It was a sideways move at best for the Magic. Richardson has given them a decent scoring option and Turkeyglue is at least a good passer, which Nelson somewhat lacks. The Arenas trade has been horrible, but I guess no one really expected him to be any good. I think the biggest loss has actually been Gortat as they have to play Dwight heavy minutes so they can compete.

arenas is exactly like marbury. he has that black hole effect wherein every team he's on is just shittier because of him.

It would. Lebron and Wade share too many characteristics to fully complement one another (Wade is basically a shorter thinner Lebron). With Anthony they would have an athletic spot up shooter who actually makes the outside shots. Also Anthony has a better post game than anyone on the Heat.

NOOOOOOOO. Keep the Big 3 as the way they are!!!
Now, if the Heat were doing badly, then yeah, talking about trading out players would be fine.
But IMHO, Heat are doing fine. Not as dominant as everyone expected, but they are doing fine. And it's only the first year, let's see how things go.

T-T Magic 1 - 2 Hawks are you f***ing kidding me?!

Just like how teams should draft based on ability and not position, teams should never trade one of the best 5 players in the league for a top 10-15. The different in skill level between Wade and Melo far outweighs the "synergy" factor.

Sorry, if something like this has been done before. But I've been searching and haven't been able to find anything so hopefully I didn't overlook something.

If you pick other, please specify who/what team

Also, if you feel like I am leaving out some of the other teams/players, that is only because TL polls only give you 12 options.

Hilarious case of hindsight with arenas. If he was dropping three bombs like he used to, everyone would be screaming for Orlando magic dynasty 2011 12 13!! But it is what it is huh? /end cliche
Ya well, at least I don't fuck a fleshlight with a condom on and cry at the same time.

Anthony is playing very random in the playoffs. Maybe the reason is Celt's defense, which in last game was really outstanding. I was really hoping for even series between NYK and BOS but injuries spoiled it.

I watched ATL and ORL and it seems like ORL dont want to play... they are bored with basketball. Well at least it looks like this for me

C'mon. Did you really think people expected Arenas to be good before the trade was even done? He was already poison long before the trade. His style of play really only fits a team like Golden State. It doesn't belong to a contender.
