LAkers win the 2010 Season and now, let's begin talks of the coming one, starting with the rookie draft and free-agency talks/rumors, free agent signings etc
Obviously, John Wall will emerge numero uno draft pick.
As for free agent rumors...
-Tracy McGrady allegedly wants to play for the LAkers, but still a rumor. Ring chasers now setting eyes on LA ;D
-LAkers looking to add a pointguard and interested with Steve Blake, Earl Watson or Luke Ridnour (Get Kirk Hinrich!)
-Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers still undecided on coming back for 2011
-Paul Pierce and Rey Allen might bolt Boston (I doubt Pierce goes but Allen might)
If we can have Tmac for cheap (as in really cheap) and he's ok with being part of the bench, then I'd take him in. I seem to remember Jerry West saying before that the LAkers need another slasher aside from Kobe to make sure that someone fills that role when Kobe's resting. Korver's a nice addition, but I doubt he accepts less money. Hinrich would be perfect as a triangle PG as he's a good shooter and Phil usually prefers bigger pointguards. Of Blake, Ridnour or Watson, I'd rather have Blake or Ridnour. I'm not sure Watson is as good as he was before, especially on the defensive end. Farmar is out IMHO. He's got two rings already and I think he wants the playing time now.
i hope ray allen stays with boston. he's the number one reason why i'm a boston fan. :)
i hope ray allen stays with boston. he's the number one reason why i'm a boston fan. :)luvd the lakers but i like ray's style...
lakers will have to add more to bynum for toronto sign and trade hoping to be max player chris bosh, about 10M more i think, and one one except lamar is enticing on the laker's bench
miami had just clear more cap space by trading deaquan cook to the okc thunder, i have a feeling that pat riley is cooking something up.

Gusto ni Kobe kunin lahat ng magaling dumipensa sa kanya para di na niya kailangang kalabanin. Matalino! ;D
then battier should be on the top of their list. ;D
bulls will ship hinrich on july 8 due to cap restrictions, 9M off the books and damn near 30M cap space ng chicago.
Spurs swingman Richard Jefferson has opted out of the final year of his contract and will become a free agent.
It's alright. He's a disappointment to the Spurs. ;D
Rivers returning to coach Celtics
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AiLpNsNuTGluMQSj1qhugbG8vLYF?slug=ys-riversceltics063010
This is how I think the NBA FA will workout:
8. Paul Pierce as a LA-native will play for the Clippers.
;D
I doubt this will happen. Pierce and Allen will both stay in Boston since Rivers already announced that he will be returning next year. :D his first priority? maintain his starting five. :D hope boston can get another big man either brad miller or david lee..
Logically Pierce should be re-signed by Boston so the Big 3 will still be intact. But Allen's asking price and contract length may be too steep for Boston, given he's on the tail end of his playing career and not a consistent treat any longer. At the most he will probably be signed for 2 more years (to coincide with Garnett's tenure). As with Pierce, he opted out of this contract looking to cash in a longer-term deal. At 32 yrs old, he's probably got 2-3 productive years left, signing him beyond this is not practical for Boston. By this time also, Boston is likely in rebuilding mode, having an aging and expensive player on the roster wont help them.
I think Pierce will take the biggest offer he can get from other teams. With most of the superstar free-agents not keen on signing with the Clippers, I think he has the best chance of getting a max (or nearly max) contract there. Not a bad team though since there's Baron Davis, Kaman, Griffin and Gordon in their roster.
:D
It's alright. He's a disappointment to the Spurs. ;D
“Count me in,” Jackson said. “After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It’ll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one.”
Memphis is an up & coming team & had a good 2009-'10 season. Rudy Gay is their main man ably supported by O.J. Mayo & veteran Zach Randolph. Good move in my opinion. Now, if they can only get Amare & Kirk Hihnrich, they will really be competitive.
I dunno, I think that the Rudy Gay signing means that they're gonna be mediocre for a long time. Rudy still has some potential, but giving a max contract to a guy who's never been an all star and has never in the playoffs is always a bad idea. If you think about it, they're giving Gay the kid of money they didn't want to spend on Pau Gasol a few years back. He doesn't seem to mesh very well with Mayo too. He's a $10-12mil guy at best.
The unofficial signings so far:
Joe Johnson - ATL $127m 6 yrs
Rudy Gay - MEM $81.6m 5yrs
Amir Johnson - TOR $34m 5 yrs
Drew Gooden - MIL $32m 5yrs
Channing Frye -PHO $30m 5 yrs
Darko Milicic - MIN $20m 4yrs
All of them are overpaid, although Frye and Gooden's midlevel deals are a bit reasonable.
Lakers have reportedly made an offer to Mike Miller, USD30M for 5 years. Pwede! [SOURCE (http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox/status/17535044214)]

Re-signing with a team = BORING...
I hope LeBron and Bosh will make the Free Agency exciting by signing (or even an S&T) with a team not named Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors, respectively...and a shift of POWER in the NBA... :D
So, no more Raja Bell...
Lakers have reportedly made an offer to Mike Miller, USD30M for 5 years. Pwede! [SOURCE (http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox/status/17535044214)]
^ Yeah, sounds like it's still all talk or under negotiation. [LINK (http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox/status/17581166819)] This one seems more certain: Lakers are going to sign Steve Blake. [LINK (http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=5350443)] Good start. But still hope they can land Miller too.
How about Wade and James in Chicago? With Rose at PG and Noah at PF, and maybe a decent FA as center, tiklop na ang Eastern Conference...
steve blake chasing a ring, nice move by LAL...shrewd but nice.
Noah plays Center, deng can play either SF/PF. :D

the (then) mysterious package that was sent to lebron from chicago
I was thinking: if the Bulls land James with Wade, they will play SF and SG, respectively. Yeah, Noah slides to center and Gibson starts at PF. Deng may become expendable. Wonder what will happen if Bosh joins too...
im sureone of them will stay, their home team has an advantage of giving them max money than diect signing. tignan mo si joe johnson 120M/6 years
mas lalo kay rudy gay though he has an upside, no choice ang atlanta to give joe the max kesa mawala and got nothing in return, a sign and trade will not do because ofcourse of his massive contract.
with joe signing in other teams are curious about josh childress (atlanta holds his right) on trade scenarios
dapat ginaya na lang ng ATL si Dirk.. hindi max contract pero manageable para makapagdagdag sila ng another role player.. kailngan nila ng size na pangtapat kay D. Howard..
Si Dirk may balak talagang mag-re-sign sa Dallas...kahit hindi max, hindi lilipat si Dirk...
Si Joe Johnson may balak talagang mag-sign sa ibang team...kung hindi max, lilipat si Joe Johnson...
Free-agent center Shaquille O'Neal is seriously considering a two-year deal with the Hawks that starts at the mid-level exception of $5.8 million, according to NBA sources close to both the team and the future Hall of Fame player.
Amare is headed for the Big Apple!!

Maybe they'll use Amar'e as bait? Pwede pa sila mag sign ng 1 pang FA, diba? ;)
You're right. This is an excellent move. New York just sent a message to Lebron - "hey, we're getting help for you if you come here." Expect the Knicks to maneuver and get a SG & a PG.
guys nasa NY din si T-Mac db? amare with T-Mac can also be lethal! can someone enlighten me...
Oh yeah, they should sign T-Mac too. They'll be the New York Knees na! ;D
Then get K-Mart & Darius Miles na din. Sinong PG ba nag underwent na ng micro-fracture? 1st 5 na yan! ;D

The Bulls are looking good.
Stan Van Gundy's take on LBJ's announcement tomorrow. Sapul! :)
http://ht.ly/28h8K
With all this crazy hype for the announcement, I somehow get the feeling that he's changing teams and leaving Cleveland. But I really don't see him going to Miami - he needs to be the one big star on the team. It's bad for his "brand" or marketability. Chicago makes sense - he'll still be the top dog, but with a playoff-ready line-up. New York is the next best sensible destination, IMO - with Amare and a couple of serviceable role players. Malabo siguro New Jersey - it'll be like his rookie year in Cleveland.
Ano kaya prediction ni Paul the Octopus?
Is this true? What will happen to his legacy (assuming he become champion)? That he couldn't do it without Wade and Bosh?
IMO not enought to be even in the eastern championship
bosh is an excellent player but he is not a strong center, wade and bosh can not carry miami with just the two of them, my last recollection, MIA does not have a very good center
The Celtics are getting old (ang getting old players) and will just be praying they get healthy again come playoffs time.
The Magic still haven't maneuvered to prevent the blitzkrieg they got from Boston during the playoffs.
The Cavs, if LBJ re-signs, is putting their hopes on a PG-dependent coach.
If Carlos & LBJ signs-in, then the Bulls can become a contender. Unfortunately, they don't have a coach yet.
The Heat may get the latest version of The Big Three but I can see Riley doing a Van-Gundy on Spoelstra in mid season to get them to the finals.
All these drama happening in the East while out in the West i could hear the Lakers giggling - 3PEAT! 3PEAT! 3PEAT!
Bulls has already got a coach. they signed Thibodeau, Celtics former asst. coach.

I read some rumors that Shaq is leaving the Cavs for Atlanta. Ilgauskus and West might also leave as well. Who will be left then with the Cavs if Lebron decides to stay? He will only have Williams, Jamison and Varejao
Allen re-signs w/ Celtics
^ Yup, Miami is now the BEST BET to land Queen LeBron...Now, Miami needs 2 balls...
Jermaine O’Neal is said to be leaning towards signing with Boston.
Jermaine O'Neal now about to sign with Boston.
O’Neal will sign a two-year contract with the club for the mid-level exception. He will be paid $5.765 million for the upcoming season.

"In May, after the Cavs were ousted in the conference semifinals, I wrote that LeBron was facing one of the greatest sports decisions ever: "winning (Chicago), loyalty (Cleveland) or a chance at immortality (New York)."

sana si shaq bumalik na lang din ng miami ;D
Looks like the Cavs will hire Distrito, Rambo Sanchez and Onchie Dela Cruz, and their target is LBJ! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
If Miami wins the title next year (or in succeeding years), LBJ will be hounded with the question of his inability to win a title on his own.
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.
The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

I think one of the reasons why the Boston 3 worked was because neither Ray nor Kevin needed the ball in their hands to be effective. I still can't picture LeBron nor Dwayne doing that.

I do hope this development ushers in the Kobe-Lebron era.
The problem with this development is that for me, Lebron cannot be compared anymore with Jordan and even Kobe because of Dwayne Wade.
Not mad man. Tama ka nga eh. Dami nang Lebron bashing ng mga sports columnists.
Sa ibang mga forums di na Lebron- Jordan Comparison thread, Lebron- Pippen comparison thread na (Greatest Sidekick).
Check out Miami's roster : http://www.nba.com/heat/roster/ (http://www.nba.com/heat/roster/)
There are no role players! Uubra ba 'to? Whatchathink?
^ malay mo bumalik si "social climber" shaq sa Heat ;D
Maybe what Garnett said about LBJ's free agency affected his decision.
"Loyalty is something that hurts you at times because you can't get youth back. I can honestly say that if I can go back and do my situation over, knowing what I know now with this organization, I'd of done it a little sooner.
Those 3 average close to 30 pts per game. Who's gonna give way to who? At least 1 of them will lose market value after the contracts expire. I wonder who'll that be.
The Lakers are still the team to beat, until the Heat completes their roster. The Heat is like a 3-headed monster, without arms, legs and teeth (yet). So wait and see pa din what other pieces are going to be added. But I think the roster spots will be filled-in with minimum salary players and vets looking to hook-up with a chance for a championship. Or they can go over the tax to sign quality players. But at this point, I think the Lakers, Magic & Celtics are still ahead.
You can't go over the tax when you sign free agents. You can go over the tax when you sign your own player or when you trade (cheaper player for a more expensive player). But the heat don't have anyone to trade so no go on those 2 scenarios. They can't go over the tax to fill their roster this year.
@truewinner_KG tweets ... "Lebron woke up this morning as a young jordan n is goin to sleep tonight as scottie pippen #changeup"
Well, Stephen Smith who made the fearless forecast about Miami being the destination of Lebron, Wade and Bosh has a new prediction: Lakers and Heat finals; Phil Jackson versus Pat Riley.
I think its kinda predictable at this point but I'm not even sure that Miami can get past Boston the way they played during the post season this year. Also, the Thunder figures to be a thorn on the Lakers 3 peat hopes as they are the only good team from the Western Conference that didn't lose any important players.
i disagree.
It should be "Wade woke up this morning as a young Kobe n is goin to sleep tonight as a Derek Fisher."
Unless the Heat gets a good PG, I see Dwayne doing the job. Lebron is the MVP and Wade will oftentimes take the backseat. It's the ultimate sacrifice. Miami is now officially Lebron's Team.
BTW, looks like Miami is getting Mike Miller. I suppose he has to come off the bench to relieve LBJ and/or Wade.
Maybe the King will finally get his ring after Kobe gets his 7th or 8th.
To each his own...Miami will always be Wade's team...
I don't think Lebron is thinking the legacy or a hero thing anymore...+1
all he wants now is the ring....

GREENWICH, Conn., July 8, 1990 -- Michael Jordan announced on national television he's leaving Chicago to join the Detroit Pistons. Jordan said it was tough to bolt Chicago, where he was the most popular athlete in many years, because he thinks he has a better chance to win a championship if he plays with Pistons star Isiah Thomas. Jordan said by playing together, he and Thomas "won't have the pressure of going out and scoring 30 every night."
That would have sounded absurd, right? Well, it is no more absurd than what LeBron James is doing. Jordan was 27 years old in 1990, slightly older than James is now. He had never been to the NBA Finals. He had been beaten up by the Celtics and Pistons for years. He doubted his supporting cast was good enough.
But he never doubted himself.
And it became very clear Thursday night that LeBron James does doubt himself. James will be a champion in Miami -- if not next year, then sometime after that. If you put James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh together and give Pat Riley five years to find the complementary pieces, that team will win a championship.
But James does not have the heart of a champion. He does not have the competitive fire of Jordan, the bull-headed determination of Kobe Bryant, the quiet self-confidence of Tim Duncan, the willful defiance of Isiah or the winning-is-everything hunger of Magic Johnson.
He is an extremely gifted player who wants the easy way out.
And how do we know this?
James said so himself.
Oh, not in so many words. But once ESPN was done ESPN-izing its LeBron coverage -- filling it with babbling experts, needless hype and Jim Gray submitting his top six entries in the Stupidest Question Ever contest -- the self-proclaimed King said everything you need to know about him.
1. "You have to do what's best for you, and what's going to make you happy."
This is what's going to make him happy? Sharing a stage with two other stars? Really?
I guess that's all LeBron is: A complementary player with superstar talent. We should have figured this out before: He got that giant CHOSEN 1 tattoo on his back and calls himself King James because he is desperate for reassurance.
There is no greater challenge in sports getting drafted by a godawful team, planting your flag in a city and working like crazy until you have turned that team into a champion.
LeBron James didn't want the challenge. He wanted to play with his buddies.
2. "We don't have the pressure of going out and scoring 30 every night or shooting a high percentage."
Whoa. Hold on there. Scoring 30 a night is too much pressure for one of the five most talented players ever?
Find me another all-time NBA great who would utter those words. Jordan would rather do an adidas commercial than say that. Bryant must have laughed as he heard the so-called "King" say that. Larry Bird? The next time he complains about pressure will be the first. Magic was the greatest team player of the last 40 years, but he was also so competitive that he wanted to play Jordan one-on-one in a promotional event -- and this was when Magic had won titles and Jordan had not, so Magic had more to lose.
3. "I know how loyal I am."
The man just dumped his hometown(s) on national television. Cleveland (and, by extension, Akron) happens to be the most tortured sports city in America. To do that, then say "I know how loyal I am" ... wow, wow, wow.
I wish I could sit in on one of LeBron's meetings with his advisers. Does he make them all wear mirrored sunglasses, so that when he looks at them he sees himself?
We really don't ask that much of our sports stars. Try not to get arrested for anything big. Don't curse at the fans. You know, small stuff. We even understand that 95 percent of the time, they will make career decisions based on money -- we might not love it, but we understand it.
But see, the biggest thing that we ask of our sports stars is this: Take the competition as seriously as we do.
When LeBron James loses to Boston in the playoffs, we want him to take the heat, not take the Heat's offer. We want him to spend the summer adding to his game, calling and texting his teammates, plotting to do better next season.
Instead, well ...
4. "It's about joining forces with the other two guys."
He sounds like a nine-year-old playing Star Wars games with his buddies at a sleepover. And again: I do believe this Miami team will win a title. But it won't be as easy as he wants it to be. Miami will have the weakest bench of any contender next season After that, the NBA will have a lockout, and the league could eliminate the mid-level exception, which would be Miami's best tool for adding talent.
So this is a cop-out, but it's not as easy of a cop-out as it appears. And that brings us to ...
5. "This is the greatest challenge for me."
LeBron James just jumped into an elevator and wants us to think he can fly. Sorry, but we know better. We know that he did something Michael, Magic, Bird and Bill Russell never would have done. We know he ditched Cleveland for an All-Star team.
But you know what? In Miami, anything short of a title will be a failure. Nobody outside of Miami will root for this team, and nobody in Miami roots for anybody. They're too busy enjoying the weather.
I thought he would stay in Cleveland, because I thought all he cared about was adoration. I was wrong about Cleveland, but he is wrong about adoration. He thinks he'll get it by winning a title. He has insulated himself from the world, surrounded himself with yes men. He has no idea how much backlash he is about to get.
That's one of the great ironies of this -- James is trying to flee pressure, but he will just face more of it. He is trying to maximize his "brand," but he just damaged it.
The first time I watched LeBron James live, I thought he could be the greatest player ever. The sad truth for us, for him, and for the NBA is that he never really believed it himself.
if he wanted the ring, he should have gotten a smaller pay and joined boston, or lakers
Marvs, agree w/ you...pag olats, puro drama lang ito hehehe! :D :D :D :D :D
Seems Eric will eventually be booted out, Riley will be back as coach, like what happened to Van Gundy :D
lebron will never ever be a kobe or a jordan and im talking about being a skilled basketball player here. jordan and kobe have always been known for their great offensive skills but oenthing that they both have that lebron doesnt is DEFENSE. All his basketball life, lebron juts wanted to score and shoot something that does not make me consider any player good at all, anyone from the NAB has the capacity to be a scorer given the chance but what makes some of them the best at their prime is the over all skills they have
Wade, Bosh and Lebron in Miami gives you a barrage of scoring machine but not one of a defensive gem, whats the point of them scoring if they can not even avoid the other players from scoring.
i would say the big 3 EGOS would fit IMO, they can not be at par with Garnett, Allen and Pierce as these 3 plays good defense together, compliment each other well together and this has been evident even when they were not playing together before.
MIAMI in the NBA championship? im not an expert but i dont think so not even an eastern conference finals would happen. i like the chances of chicago better, boozer, rose and noah, now that too me is a big 3 even bigger than wade bosh and lebron
I think more than playing defense, what seperates Lebron from greats like Bird, Magic, MJ and even Kobe is the will and drive to win. The greats have that single minded determination to win no matter what and are willing to take responsibility of carrying their team and of course taking the game winning shot.
Lebron to me always came across as a player with tremendous talent but with a casual work ethic. If you remember the season after the Olympics in Beijing, Lebron stepped up his game a lot because he saw how players like Kobe prepare for games. If he just focused on how he can improve then he wouldn't need to join forces with the likes of Wade and Bosh.
much better kung yun ang ginawa nya.. kaso kahit papaano may pride pa rin yung mama... wanted the ring and of course my big moolah pa rin.
I agree that James does not play defense as good as Jordan or Kobe. And he can never be compared seriously to either of them anymore with this move. But to be fair, he does play defense. Specially if he wants to. All three of them can as they showed when they were on the US team.
And Allen (and to a lesser extent Pierce) did not play defense before he (they) met Mr. Thibodeau.
I agree that they're short 4-5 more decent role players to be a champion team. They'll get it unless the new CBA prevents them from getting those players. But I have to disagree that Boozer, Rose and Noah are better than Lebron, Wade and Bosh. That's quite a stretch for me already. :)
I think more than playing defense, what seperates Lebron from greats like Bird, Magic, MJ and even Kobe is the will and drive to win. The greats have that single minded determination to win no matter what and are willing to take responsibility of carrying their team and of course taking the game winning shot.
Lebron to me always came across as a player with tremendous talent but with a casual work ethic. If you remember the season after the Olympics in Beijing, Lebron stepped up his game a lot because he saw how players like Kobe prepare for games. If he just focused on how he can improve then he wouldn't need to join forces with the likes of Wade and Bosh.
BEAT LA? (aga ng Chants......hehe)
Havent Been Done for Two Years Now.
Yes We Did...What??
The TRIO still have to play and unseat the Champs....
Till Then....Its ALL MIAMI HYPE!!
Image-wise?
Real winners of this free agency hoopla are Kevin Durant....and Kobe Bryant.
All courtesy of Lebron's The Decision. ;D ;D

i guess all the hate is the product of his diva attitude, if he said that to cleveland that he will leave about 2 months ago then just said he will go to miami, e di tapos. no drama. remember shaq did that too in 1996, pero no fuss.
But what really leaves a bad taste in the mouth is the manner in which he chose to leave. With "The Decision" he not only gave up on Dan Gilbert but he chose to give the finger to all of Cleveland and all fans of the Cavs. The manner in which he did it lacks of class and consideration for the city that bascially raised him. Kung nagsabi lang siya kahit a few weeks ago kung ano decision niya then it would have been a lot better. Kung dinirecho niya si Dan Gilbert at ang Cavs walang dahilan para magalit si Gilbert, siya pa siguro sisihin ng mga Cavs fans.
ako din gusto ko Boston-LA sa finals next year para ma-settle na sino talaga sa kanila ang mas magaling.. but I don't mind sakaling Miami-LA.. basta sure lang na hindi maka-3peat si kobe mamba! ;D
I think you meant to say hindi maka-3peat si Kobe ulit. He already had a 3-peat before. :P
Great behind the scenes story behind the Decision
Inside 'The Decision': Miami's coup was a 'surprise' built on long-coveted goal of James, Wade and Bosh

Riley's really good at pushing other people's emotions. I'm beginning to think that trying to recruit Fisher is another one of his plans at pushing the Laker's psyche.
Funny, if Riley brought his 7 rings how would it look like if Phil brought his 13 rings.
I was hoping Boston could land Josh Childress. Great energy player. Ang hina talaga kumuha ng Celtics ng additional players. They still need someone to guard Lebron/Wade/Kobe and a true center to guard Dwight Howard/Bynum.
If we compare the current status of the Celtics sa isang makina ng sasakyan,
they need a GENERAL OVERHAUL...

I thought that the Turkoglu-Barbosa swap is really bad for the Suns. Not only are they taking Turkoglu's bad contract ($40m in 4yrs), but they also took in a moderately talented player who is soft and can only be effective with the ball on his hands. I don't think he'll fit very well in the Suns system since Nash does most of the playmaking in that team.
not to mention the age factor and the consistency, isnt it that hedo was traded recently prior to trasferring to the Suns? has he done to improve the status of that team?
He wasn't traded. He was last year's hottest free agent because of his role in Orlando's Finals run. He was even offered a bigger contract by the Blazers last year but he chose the Raptors instead. He's a moderately talented player who was in an ideal situation in Orlando wherein he was pretty effective in drive and dish situations with shooters like Lewis/Reddick/Nelson. He was ineffective in Toronto because guys like Calderon and Jack ran most of the plays and they didn't have a dominant interior defender like Howard to complement his defensive inadequacies. The Raptors had a better record last year than the year before but they still missed the playoffs in the east.
What's really bad about the Phoenix's offseason moves is that when Nash retires in a couple of years, they would be stuck with overpaid role players(Turkoglu/Childress/Frye/Warrick) and very little cap flexibility when the team should be in rebuilding mode.
hedo turkoglu to phoenix suns for leandro barbosa
I'm a huge LB fan, I think this is a bad move by the Suns. :(Am an LB fan myself.
I agree with sir rusty's observations...
The only thing that would make "The Decision" special weirder is if Kanye jumped out and took center stage.
Dallas acquires Tyson Chandler. Wow! I'm more afraid of Dallas now than the Heat, as long as Chandler and Haywood are healthy, they form a formidable duo. Imagine Chandler, Dirk and Haywood on the front court. Three 7-footers! Kahit sabihin mong filler lang si Dirk, that's still a big wall to scale. If the Mavs grab Al Harrington, they are really going to be contenders IMHO.

When I saw this "show", just cant help but cringe......a simple presscon, showing their new jerseys would have sufficed. But no.....its got be a show. And there was shouting cheering....and they havent won a thing.
Envision a title-less Michael Jordan leaving the Bulls and doing it in a show called "The Decision", say for the Pistons or the Celtics.....and the day after, showed up in introduction show with Isiah Thomas....or Larry Bird.....highfiving...chest thumping.
Nahh. ;D

According to a reports, the Jazz have agreed to a trade that would send Al Jefferson from Minnesota to Utah.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas is following LeBron James to the Miami Heat.
LBJ & Big Z used to be Clevelands' crowd-favorite.
Expect another sour-grape letter from the Cavs owner. :D :D :D

Ronnie Brewer to Chicago.. Pwede na rin for a starting guard, now that the FA pool is thinning.
Dallas taking the Laker blueprint. Thats more like it if you want to unseat the Lakers as West Champs.
Except that their star does not have the killer instinct. Even Pau Gasol is more of a leader than Nowitzki
As NBA fans here, I am sure whether we like Lebron or not, I am sure papanuorin pa din natin ang Miami Heat next season just to look at how things are with that team.
Well, sana matalo ang Heat ;D.
one things for sure, people would either root for or against the Heat this coming season. Me? I'm torn between rooting for them because of their Fil-Am coach (siyempre we root for our own) and rooting against them because ever since I really didn't like Pat Riley.
If Pat Riley stands true to form, baka middle of the season he'll fire the coach and take over =).
In Heat forums in the US, I notice they are calling Spoelstra "the Filipino."
Example: "We've got good players, but can the Filipino coach them?"
Interesting link on the power struggle in Lebron's entourage. Also another inside look on Lebron's decision.

Includes an interesting aspect of Lebron's personality
"No one could stand James as a 19-year-old in the 2004 Athens Olympics, nor the 2006 World Championships. Officials feared James could become the instigator of everything they wanted to rid themselves for the ’08 Olympics. For as gifted as James was, Krzyzewski and Colangelo subscribed to a belief that with Kobe Bryant(notes) joining the national team in 2007, they could win a gold medal in ’08 with or without LeBron James."
"For James, the problem with back-to-back presentations was his short attention span. Cavaliers coaches had always tried to keep film sessions short because James would drift away and lose interest. "
"Better than anyone, they knew LeBron James could sometimes be so unaware of the world outside his own needs, his own yes men. "
For all his skills, I don't think we should ever compare Lebron with Kobe as a leader and as a student of the game.

Add Magic Johnson's voice to fellow Hall of Famer Michael Jordan's: Neither ever thought of combining forces the way LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh did earlier this month with the Miami Heat.
"We didn't think about it 'cause that's not what we were about," Johnson said at Baruch College in New York, according to Bloomberg News. "From college, I was trying to figure out how to beat Larry Bird."
This past weekend, Jordan said at a celebrity golf event that he never would have played with Johnson or Bird, his two main rivals during his playing days.
"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry [Bird], called up Magic [Johnson] and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. The interview aired on the NBC telecast of the event. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."
Johnson added on Tuesday: "It was never a question in our mind because nobody has ever done that."
Wade re-signed with Miami, while James and Bosh joined the Heat via free agency earlier this month.
Kahit si Wade apektado nito.
Dunno if this was posted already, but, Magic Johnson echoes Jordan's sentiments on "teaming up"
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5395989
I'd rank Wade higher than Dwight right now. Until D12 develops a potent offensive game, I really can't put him in the same league as Kobe, LeBron or Wade, who I consider the top 3 players in the NBA right now. The analogy is really not that far-off IMO. ;)
I guess some of the teams are just sour graping. Anyway, I don't see a big deal with Miami's big 3. It seems Miami just wants to build a dynasty same as Celtics, Lakers, Bulls did before. And 3 players are not enough to win a championship they need good role players and a good coach too. It's too early to say that they will dominate ;) Below are some of the big 3 that won championships.
Boston: Garnett, Pierce, Allen
L.A.: Bryant, Gasol, Artest
Chicago(90s): Jordan, Pippen, Rodman
L.A.(80s): Magic, Jabbar, Worthy
Boston(80s): Bird, McHale, Parish, D.Johnson

Sa Dream Team pictorials yan galing di ba? I seem to remember Magic telling Larry not to get too close to Michael or it will be called a foul. ;D
(http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv298/NY_Comeback/Other/dream.jpg)
yup, dream team pictorial.. sabi ni magic.. "you cant get too close to michael coz itll be called a foul"..
the difference then, is that they're friends but competitive with each other...
There was one stretch during the '86 season when he was actually bored by how good he was, so he started using his left hand more (during one game, he took only left-handed shots in the first half), then Bird and Walton started trying to see how many times they could run the back door play in one game, then he went through a stage when he was backing guys down on the low post just to see how many different ways he could create a basket. ... I mean, Larry Bird freaking experimented during games. When will we ever see something like that again?
CP3 wants to be traded to the Knicks, Magic or Lakers...hmmm...who can the Knicks or Magic offer? whom are the Lakers willing to depart with for CP3?
Chris Paul will probably end up in NYK. LA is an unlikely destination.
nice signings by the lakers
I think thats it, the roster is set (unless Shannon Brown agree to stay for lesser money)
PG Fisher, Blake
SG Kobe, Vujacic
SF Artest, Barnes, Walton, Ebanks
PF Gasol, Odom, Caracter
C Bynum, Ratliff
as for shannon, he has bird's right reason also that's why fisher is not officially signed yet pero im irregardless of cap space they can be signed.
Buti pa Lakers, lalong lumakas pa. Celtics ko walang nangyayari, paluma ng paluma >:(.don't worry bro CELTICS vs. LAKERS pa rin ang magkikita sa FINALS
Buti pa Lakers, lalong lumakas pa. Celtics ko walang nangyayari, paluma ng paluma >:(.
News have it that Shaq is lobbying to be employed by Boston.
oh...that will make the celtics a very young team. ;D
Yup win-now mode si Danny.
On another note, Boston is rumored to be throwing it's hat into the Chris Paul sweepstakes. Charlotte is asking for Sheed's contract, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins for Chris Paul and Emeka Okafor.
HHHhhhmmmm....I don't know. But my knee-jerk reaction is pass.

Please no for Chris Paul = Rajon Rondo.
Rondo should be the Celtics catalyst for the next decade!

If it was true that the Clippers worked Tmac...and they seem to have passed, well...It's the Clippers! And they passed on Tmac! That doesn't sound promising at all.
“I expressed my desire to win and I like what they said about the direction that they want to take the team. I have been a Hornet my entire career and I hope to represent the city of New Orleans and state of Louisiana for many years to come.”
no way, paul is a very good point guard for me but id say rondo is better than him....
and emeka okafor? he has not proven anything in the NBA.
I'll pick a healthy CP3 over Rondo. ;)
That's the problem. He ain't healthy. And if he's not playing, how can one even consider him?
Except for Larry Bird and Bill Russell, superstar players don't make successful coaches. Funny, it's the journeymen and bit players who are the most successful coaches like Pat Riley and Phil Jackson.

^ Awww that's the number of one of my favorite LAkers: Nick Van Exel
Just to veer away from freeagency, I just downloaded Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs The New York Knicks (part of ESPN's 30 for 30 film series) and man does it bring back memories! Reggie was just so damn good at getting to his opponents' heads he's probably the best (Larry Bird's a tie or second IMHO). His duel with John Starks and the insights provided by players, coaches, management etc. in this film were just so priceless that even if you're not a Pacers or Knicks fan, you'd want to watch it, if only to see how masterful Reggie was at frustrating opposing players.
Bird's competitive nature often emerged in nearly constant trash-talking on the court. Some notable examples follow:
* During the three-point shooting contest on All-Star Weekend 1986, Bird entered the locker room, looked around without saying a word, then finally said, "I want all of you to know I am winning this thing. I'm just looking around to see who's gonna finish up second." He won the shooting contest.
* During one game on Christmas Day against the Indiana Pacers, before the game Bird told Chuck Person that he had a Christmas present waiting for him. During the game, when Person was on the bench, Bird shot a three-pointer on the baseline right in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry crapin' Christmas!", and then the shot went in. This was no doubt inspired by Person (nicknamed the "Rifleman") stating prior to the game that "The Rifleman is Coming, and He's Going Bird Hunting."
* Reggie Miller recalled his encounter with Larry Bird's legendary trash talking ability in his book "I Love Being The Enemy". Reggie tried to disrupt Larry's concentration when he was shooting free throws late in a game. Larry glared at him, made the first free throw and said, "Rook, I am the best shooter in the league right now. In the league. Understand? And you're up here trying to tell me something?" Then Larry buried the second free throw.
* Late in a tied game against the Seattle SuperSonics, Bird told Supersonics forward Xavier McDaniel, who was guarding him, exactly where he would hit the game winning shot. After a timeout, Bird made two baseline cuts, then posted in the exact spot he had indicated to McDaniel, paused, turned, and hit the shot in his face.[26]
* On November 9, 1984, Bird was ejected along with Julius Erving in the third quarter after an on court scuffle. At the point of both ejections, Bird had outscored Erving 42 to 6. During the game, Bird had continuously informed Erving of their tallies with every chance he got to score. Bird denies this stating that it was "M.L. (Carr) talking trash from the bench" during that game.[27] Eventually a shoving match ensued, then swings taken by both players, and finally a bench-clearing brawl.
Lebron....who was covered by ESPN since he was a highschooler...is now ESPN's biggest baby....

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON KOBE?
I thought you'd never ask. We'll be on the plane, playing cards. Kobe will walk up, stop the game and say, "Ron, come to the back of the plane." Then, he'll show me some tape and say, "Look at this. Here's what you need to do." I'll go back to my seat, and then he'll walk up to Shannon Brown, stop the card game and do the same thing. And it doesn't matter if you're sleeping. He'll wake you up and show you things you've never thought about. He puts so much time and passion into the game. I have no problem following somebody who's worth being followed, who works as hard as me. I will follow Kobe anywhere.
Funniest quote from the article for me.
"I want a gold medal so bad, I'd be the water boy. But they won't even let me try out! I've been trying to get on that team forever. Three years ago, I called Jerry Colangelo. He answered the phone. I said, "Hi, this is Ron Artest," and the dude hung up! At least let me try out. Give me a chance to represent the ghettos of America. Come on, Team USA! I don't have much time left."

Why do I get the feeling that The Miami Heat as a whole is one egotistic, self-absorbed, classless, conceited and delusional kind of an organization. :D
Heat sell out season tickets, fire sales staff
Posted by Royce Young
Typically, if you do your job really, really well, you get a promotion. Or you get a raise. Or at the very least, you get to keep your job.
But that didn't happen in Miami as the Heat fired its season ticket sales staff after the team sold out of season tickets. Ouch.
In a statement, the team confirmed the terminations Friday afternoon, saying that with an "exhausted'' inventory of season-tickets "we no longer require a season ticket sales team to sell tickets.''
Stephen Weber, vice president of sales, delivered the news to about 30 ticket sales people Friday morning, according to the story from the Miami Herald. Currently, the team's waiting list has more than 6,000 names on it. It's pretty evident that at this point, the Heat can sell tickets without even trying.

If Shaq won't demand more playing time & would agree to come off the bench to spell Perk, KG, or Jermaine, why not?

Wala na yun isang Allen bro.... :D
Then, on Dec. 2, the Heat visit the Cavs for the first time after the Decision. Wouldn't it be a *pleasure* for the Heat to lose this game to the Cavs? ;D

If this is for the vet min then it's an absolute steal IMO. Shaq has repeatedly stated he wanted around 8M and him signing for the vet min (1.4M) is a big surprise. Wonder what Danny Ainge did to convince Shaw to sign AND come off the bench?

im a fan of shaq but also agree he is past his great playing self.
i hope shaq agrees to whatever he can be given atleast he still have a year to play and perhaps if he indeed still has what it takes, then he can prove it when he gets the playing time. id rather see this happenning than shaq suffer the same thing as what happened to antoine walker, cris webber, ralph sampson, and steve smith, they were all forced to retire at least from what i know
shaq might not be a good fit with the Celtics since they don't run a deliberate half court set. they try to get stops and generate their offense through transition. I don't know how Shaq can play with such a offense like that.
Well for us Celts Fanatic...with or without Shaqs oks lang... but agree hope once he retires, he may have a graceful exit.. ;)
yun na lang sana brader ang inaasahan ko makaretiro sya ng maayos;)
i loved the lakers becasue of shaq and so is miami because of him
funny thing though, i didnt liked the Subs when he was there and cavs too hahahahaha.
i was routing for the celts too last season, too bad, nakawala pa yung korona pero im sure babawi din yan this coming season, sana the big three remain healthy, i want to see the celts big three fight it out wiht the big three of miami
Well if Shaq does join Boston, I hope he will not disrupt the team's chemistry. He's still got a big ego, still thinks he's a starter, still demands for plays and touches in the offense. I'll be surprised if he accepts the vet min.
Sources say Shaq has already agreed in principle to a one year contract for the vet minimum.
IT'S OFFICIAL! Shaq joins Boston on a 2 year $2.8M deal.
Celtic will now be more Shaqing.
happy he has finally gotten a team, 2 years not bad at all, he doesnt need the money anymore, just a little more pride in exiting gracefully, hope he works hard and stay out of injury, he can still make life hard for opposing teams
Shaq might not be as dominant as before but under a good coach and behind some great veterans, I'll take Shaq anytime.
he may not be as dominant before in scoring but i think his presence in the paint is still intimidating.
miami's big 3 vs celts the big TREE...hehehe...

i dont think he can regain back he's usual form, he is not that athletic unlike the americans
I hope that he can contribute quality minutes. The rockets are aware of Yao's condition, that's why they acquired brad miller, IMO.

Forget the three-headed monster from Miami and the Big Three plus the Big Shamrock in Boston. With a healthy Andrew Bynum, the LAkers, IMHO, is damn near unstoppable. And the LAkers probably has the most-impressive bench among any team.

With Ratliff, Blake and Barnes, they are now saying that the Lakers' roster is, by far, the most formidable to date. Comparative to the showtime Lakers of Magic, Kareem, Worthy. I'd like to believe that as a Laker fan!!

Also, something tells me Ainge isn't done with the Celtics' offseason yet. ;D
Yep looks like Larry Hughes could be thrown into the mix. ;D
you know what they say... "you can't teach height." ;D pwede pa si yao but with limited minutes.
Also, something tells me Ainge isn't done with the Celtics' offseason yet. ;D
The Celtics came within 6 minutes of winning the championship this year, and that was without Perkins in game 7, whose size they severely lacked which showed when the Lakers dominated the boards. Bynum was not 100%, but so was KG. The Lakers were just too big for Boston, and now Danny Ainge has addressed that problem by adding Shaq and JO. No longer will you see Pau and Bynum getting as many offensive rebounds as they did in the finals this year. You can count on that. ;)
I'm hoping for Daboy (Rudy Fernandez). ;D
Sir Tirso ang alam ko possible pa rin si Rudy Fernandez makuha sa Blazers.
Pwede na rin si AI. Hehehe.
i like this guy more than larry hughes
sana si rudy fernandez, mas ok ito at mas bata pa, pag nakuha si daboy, who says the lakers is invincible
guess we all agree that the lakers,heat,celtics and magic are the favourites this season.
what about the proverbial darkhorse?
OKC,anyone?
im always scared of the san antonio spurs. Dallas?
Its a long shot but i hope the bucks can go the distance this time. Fear the dear ;D
Jennings
Salmons
Maggette
Gooden
Bogut (if he's ok to play)
For the west i hope portland or sacrament can also go the distance ;D
ako naman sir sa east e NY fan pa ren ako ever since the Ewing days ;D
sa west?okc. ;)
I still think LA willwin the champ not because Im a fan. They also address PG defensive weakness.
Speaking of the Knicks... ::)
He's baaack! ;D
Knicks re-hire former coach Thomas as prospect consultant (http://www.nba.com/2010/news/08/06/knicks.thomas.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2)

If Bynum is healthy, he'll really make Perkins work and I just don't see Perkins that good a defender to match up with Bynum.
Blake's a far better point guard than Farmar was, but we've yet to see how he adapts to the triangle
He'll make Fisher look like The Flash.
Celtics had 7 games to win 4 in the Finals, the better team just won in the end. They just got beat in their own game - defense - in game 7.
An injury-free Andrew Bynum, I believe, has the potential to be better than Dwight IMHO.
this is the problem, i havent seen bynum complete a season without getting injured
Sorry, but I can't agree with this. The Lakers didn't beat the Celtics in game 7 because of their defense - they beat them because they outrebounded the Celtics on the offensive glass (23-8), and somehow got to the line more times in the 4th quarter than the Celtics did the whole game (19-6 disparity in attempted FTs in the 4th quarter, 37-17 difference the whole game).
It's the Celtics who played excellent defense until the 4th quarter, holding the Lakers to 32.5% FG shooting and 20% from beyond the arc the whole game. Unfortunately for the Celtics, the one thing you cannot defend is free throws. :-\

Ahaha ;D are we still in the nba finals thread? Watched the game 7 a hundred times. The celts played bad defense thus the fouls. A lot of controversial calls during the entire series but in the end the best team will always win. Thats 7 games. 7 chances to win.
Goin back to our topic... Bulls anyone? Boozer is a big boost.
To sum it up: Boston choked. ;D
.....along w/ Kobe! ;D Pau, Artest & Fisher were really the difference in Game 7.
^ Nah... t'was actually a bad shooting Finals for Kobe.. ;D
.....along w/ Kobe! ;D Pau, Artest & Fisher were really the difference in Game 7.
Yeah, but it's all good. Choking as a player and choking as a team usually has different results. I guess Celtics players know that now. ;D
not sure of out of topic but for me the real choke machine is chris webber. i dunnon with this guy but eversince that booboo in his amateur career, he just seem to choke when the game is on the line and when things really matters
agree :)
lot of pressure on franchise players, until they win a championship their out of this world salary will never be justified. cant help but to call them chokers ;D
Add Vince Carter to the list. ;D
Jordan had a closeout game of 14 points against the Celtics in 1986 (including 4 points in the second half), and another in the Finals shooting 5-19. Everyone remembers him hitting the game winner in 1998 to close out Utah, but few remember that Jordan missed 20 shots in that game and only had a total of 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Speaking of choke, I can't say enough that you need to see Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs The Knicks.
Two straight playoffs series, Reggie did the unthinkable against a great defensive team (Riley's Knicks). He shut up Spike Lee and the interviews and revelations by the players themselves made it worth the download. ;D
The most memorable choke for me was Portland's giving up a huge lead in the 4th against the Shaq/Kobe LAkers in 2000 (Western Conference Finals game 7). Hmmm...I think I remember something like that happening recently (and game 7 din sya).
Worst choke for me (as a fan), when the LAkers squandered a 24-point 3rd quarter lead against Boston in the 2008 Finals and failed to even the series at 2-2. :'(
That 24-point lead squandered by the Lakers was a Finals record I believe.
But I don't think that's the worst choke job by LA. I believe it would have to be the 1st round series against the Phoenix Suns in 2006 wherein Kobe and the Lakers lost a 3-1 lead and Phoenix then becoming only the 8th team in NBA history to rise from a 1-3 grave.

Trash talking pa rin tayo hahaha.
Back to 2011 muna: For the Celtics fans, are you happy with the addition of Shaq, or not?
Not a Celtic Fan but Shaq, old as he may be, is a welcome addition to any well-coached team, especially Boston Celtics. I'm sure Coach Rivers can maximize Shaq's remaining potential. Boston fans might be happier had Shaq been with them during the 2010 finals series ;D

Back to 2011 muna: For the Celtics fans, are you happy with the addition of Shaq, or not?
Hey, for the vet minimun, I'd wish LA had brought back Shaq. But he's just burned too many bridges at Los Angeles. Shouting at Buss (or was it Kupchak) at practice demanding that they "Pay him!" and his beef with Kobe. Celtics picking him up was a smarter move IMHO than getting Jermaine Oneal. JO is just like Sheed minus the intensity, attitude and 3-point shot. I was hoping Sheed still comes back, makes the Celtics that more formidable. Fans win if they get either an LA-Miami or Boston-LA finals.
shaq can still be productive. he can still be counted on to give you 8 to 10 points plus 5 rebounds as a reliever. His body aint in shape anymore for those 35 minutes and up playing time though. He can still bully his way when up against the second stringers of any team.
what's in the mind of shaq?
i can't remember an ex-laker wearing a rival celtic green jersey.

saka hindi ba sad na one of the best centers of all time, e ends up a journeyman?
on top of my head...
Gary Payton
Rick Fox
Travis Knight
^Yeah, like Ewing. But at least Shaq won championships.
ok na din siguro at least by being a journeyman, he got several championships naman
a lot of NBA superstar ended up retiring wihtout any champisonship
i hope shaq consider retiring already after completing his contract with the celts, its always good to retire graciously rather than vanish into thin air wihtout knowing what happenned to them, the likes of tony kukoc, steve smith, xavier mc daniels, jr rider, shawn kemp etc. and oh latrell sprewell
true true. shaq should have retired this season,imho.
kukoc i think faded into obscurity playing for the bucks.
steve smith?ewan ko,bigla kona lang nakita as a talking head for espn or tnt yata. :P
i don't know what happened to the x man.
jr rider,that uber hyped thug,ended up,well,a thug.
shawn kemp got fat and developed a cocaine habit, not to mention fahtered children like abraham.
and latrell,last i checked, was applying for bankruptcy and peddling food stamps. ;D
Kevin Durant needs to bulk up a little. He's too skinny for a man his size. He's what? 6'10", 230lbs.?
Do you think this man deserve to be a legend? :)
http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2010/08/13/another-legend-slams-james/?ls=iref:nbahpt1
No doubt! :)
When "The Worm" slams you, you know you doin' it wrong. ;D
Kaya lang sana enough na with the LBJ criticisms, it's getting old real fast. Almost everybody's taking a stab at him! We all know he's a douche, and I doubt that he'd change anytime soon, so let's leave it at that. ;)
agree sir but i was referring to Scotty Pippen ;D
I was about to comment about Pippen, who for me is the most underrated player of all time, but someone just summarized it well...
Scottie Pippen, Basketball Genius (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Scottie-Pippen-is-a-Hall-of-Famer?urn=nba-262303)
IMO,kung napagchampion sana ni Pippen ang bulls nung wala si Jordan baka pwede pa. I do remember merong sinalihan na international tourney ang bulls dahil sila ang pinadala ng NBA, eventually nagchampion sila considering wala si Pippen at Rodman that time. Can anyone remember that tourney? Sponsored ng Mcdonalds yun
^ i always thought pip was better than jordan, in more ways than one.
anyone else share the same thoughts?o ngasosolo lang ako? :P
on a game of 3 on 3 who do you think would win?
Jordan Wade Kobe
Pippen Vs Lebron Vs Artest
Rodman Bosh Gasol
;D
lbj vs mj- di ba mas magandang match up to? :)
do you work nights as well bro?
mukhang tayong dalawa na lang maguusap dito hanggan umaga hehehe :)
hehehe :)
wala naman ng exciting na nangyayare sa nba ngayon.
makwento ko lang, my friend, who lives in miami, tells me that ringside seats went up from $10k a pop to almost $80k.
ewan ko lang if season tickets na yun or per game hehehe
^ i always thought pip was better than jordan, in more ways than one.
anyone else share the same thoughts?o ngasosolo lang ako? :P
80k USD is equivalent to 3.6 M Php :o siguro season tickets na to bro :)
Miami needs a bigger stadium ala Pacquiao Clottey stadum, sa dallas ba yun?
Interesting talaga NBA ngayon, lumalabas sino talaga yung mga ok na basketball team/club, parang focus sila ngayon on the team than the player. Teams would build around their system rather than the player. i dont know if that makes sense ;D
siguro nga. pero nung nasa cali pa ako, tas premiere game nuon, say Lakers vs Bulls nung panahon pa ni MJ, e ringside seats daw halos $20k (syempre sa mura lang ako).
You've watched MJ live? :o
2 MJs bro. magic and mike,early 90's. ;D
Wow, you were able to witness 2 MJ's :) what was it like bro? do you already know that they were legends back then? well Magic sigurado, how about michael? :)
baka naman akala nya nasa WWE na sya?
;D
^ and endlessly referring to himself in the 3rd person ???
or better all around player. ;D
minus the clutch.
I'm with you on this bro. We're not alone too, Philjax thinks so too. MJ was without peer as a scorer though, which is why he gets more rep. I just watched his 63 and 69 point games and the most amazing thing is that he scored all those points within the flow of the offense. Hindi pa nga nagbwakaw.
Pero OT na, we're going further and further into the past.
2011 ulit. Eto naman: Carmelo Anthony.
Do you consider Melo to be a franchise player, a max-contract player? We're reading a lot lately that he is not, in fact that he isn't even the best player on his own team. What do you guys think about Melo?
overrated.
he hasnt done anything to improve the plight of his team, he is just a typical NBA player that has more playing time and opportunity to score
i find kevin durant a way better player than him
I agree. Another hype job done to Carmelo Anothony but over the years it only exposed him to being "just a typical NBA player that has more playing time and opportunity to score" - Onkyo606
Kevin Durant needs to score more :) kailangan nya mag bwakaw ;D
Just wana share this ;D

Lebron likes to talk about himself in the 3rd person. Now, they used to view Kobe as a very narcissistic person but Lebron really brings it to another level. Just imagine Kobe referring to himself as Kobe or Jordan referring to himself as Michael or MJ or Jordan.

And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited
'Cause we're reunited
Hey, hey...
;D
Di ba Chandler was traded to the Mavs? Maybe Kwame will be the starting center in Charlotte! ;Dganun ba???
its a good move imho, 1.3M vet minimum, short term, backup center to chandler. ok sya...
for kwame namam a chance to be a decent player.

Blazers management must be thinking (on taking oden over KD),
'wtf were we thinking?!' ;D ;D ;D
during the draft, the blazers really need a center that is why they got oden. in addition to this, I don't think KD will be able to grow this much as a player if he is under B. Roy's shadow. ;)
regarding oden being injured, if my memory serves me right, he was already injury prone before they even drafted him.minor lang naman (wrist) once you compare it sa leg injuries nya since coming to the NBA.
here's to hoping against hope that this year will be oden's year to come out and show everyone why he was drafted #1 overall.sana maka 82 games naman sya this year. ::)
best of luck GO! :)
oden plays more like your typical bruising, defensive minded center, whereas kemp (in his halcyon days at least) was an above the rim player,and played little defense other than highlight reel blocks.
yeah bro, isa pa nga si yao na sana hindi wasted talent lang.his wheels can't take the weight of his upper body e.ano sya,more than 300lbs right?
7 ft 6 inches i believe dunno how it trasnlate to weight though ;D
sayang si yao nawala na lang ng ganun ganun, pag mamalasin ka talag sa sports ganun talaga eh parang si bynum lagi na lang may injury
btw si grant hill yata for the firts time nakabuo ng season?

Really can't believe how Allan Caidic didn't make it to the NBA. I grew up watching him play and wow, unbelievable talaga shooting nya! And the thing is, he's got fast hands as well on defense. Quick draw in shooting and in steals. I love watching him during his NCC, Great Taste and San Miguel days.
count me in :D
He's my favorite player too when I was still watching PBA games. However, the Legends game was really more of a scrimmage with no one really playing defense.

ako din. ;D
ok..naintindihan ko for the most part pero ano yung UTL at BN?
sorry kung parang tanga lang yung tanong sir pao. ;D
oks lng un sir, its not a stupid question... tinanong ko din yan noong ntuto ako magfantasy.. un UTL para additional player lang siya sa team mo.. un stats niya counted din sa scoring..
un BN naman, bench un meaning parang sub mo sa team.. kpag walang laro un player mo, lagay mo muna siya sa BN...
ah oki...kanina ko pa iniisip kung position ba talaga sa basketball yun e hehehe
ok, so pano pala natin sisimulan to? ;D
madali lng sir, may schedule tyo ng common time natin tpos mag-draft tyo... kailngan niyo kumuha ng
13 players lahat ng iffill up: PG G SG SF F PF C C UTL UTL BN BN BN.. tpos kailngan niyo sila lagay sa position nila un players n nakuha niyo kpag may laro sila (nakalagay sa fantasy page un schedule nila) tpos mag match up kyo with another GM. parang 1 on 1 ng GMs per week. maglalaban kyo ng stats: mapataasan or pababaan depende sa stats. ex. points, fg%, 3pt made, to, blocks, etc.. at the end of the week, may score un depende sa stats..
sali ako...
pero di ako marunong ha.. kelangan ng GAN (guidance and nurturing) ;D

The Denver Nuggets and New Jersey are having ongoing discussions centered on No. 3 overall pick Derrick Favors and the Nets’ 2011 first-round pick and a protected 2012 first-rounder the Nets received from the Golden State Warriors going back to the Nuggets. The proposed trade also would involve the Utah Jazz and Charlotte Bobcats. Under the proposal, league sources said the Nets would also send point guard Devin Harris to the Bobcats, who would move forward Boris Diaw to the Jazz, who would send forward Andrei Kirilenko to the Nuggets to complete what one front-office source described as a “very complicated” deal.
Looks like Melo might be moving to a new team soon... that is IF he commits with the Nets. ::)
Ang gulo nung trade, ang daming players involved. ;D
SOURCE (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-netsanthony092410)
di naman
Nets get Melo
Bobcats get Devin Harris
Nuggets get Derrick Favors + 2 Future 1st Picks + Ak47 (expiring contract)
Jazz get Boris Diaw
basically yan ang mga players.. fillers na lang yung additional players
thanks for simplifying things sir kimpOy. ;)
parang charlotte ang pinakaswerte ah, they'll lose diaw pero they'll get harris naman in return. ::)
oo nga eh... pro gsto sana isama ng nets si felton sa trade block para macompensate un pagkawala ni harris..
I think the Nets will make a run at Chris Paul kaya nila binitiwan si Harris.. They'll form they're own trio with Melo, Paul and Brook Lopez..
yes, but if they get Melo this year. also, CP3 will only be available for signing come 2012 season. they still need a PG this season that is why they want the bobcats to put felton on the trade block.
DJ Augustin is actually who the Bobcats are sending to the Nets.. Felton signed with New York already..
bad trip pag nets nanalo sa melo sweepstakes..here's to hoping against hope, pero knicks ftw! ;D
malabo knicks dyan... wala silang pang trade eh o draft picks
supposedly bro ang inooffer nila e si chandler,toney douglas,si galo and someone else (mike d' antoni yata yug isa)

Kobe said he can beat Lebron one on one, while sleeping ;D
I seem to agree.
kobe is talking one on one.
footwork, ball handling skills and shooting, advantage na nya.
LeBron has nearly no post game and has a very undeveloped fadeaway jumper. When I say post game, I'm not just talking about driving head first into the paint, I'm talking put your back to the basket and back down your defender.
Kobe has a more advanced and developed scoring skill set for a one on one setting, IMO. In a team game, LeBron gets the edge. In one on one play, Kobe gets the edge.
They should put that event in All Star Saturday: Kobe v Lebron 1 on 1!

mukhang malakas talaga heat. sayang lang at na injury si wade, hopefully di serious.
5 or 6?
5 lng sir... malabo na un 6.. hehe..
Hindi malabo ang 6, I am still betting on Lakers this season so Kobe can be ranked closer to Michael Jordan who got 6 rings.
i have to disagree. malayo pa si kobe sa level ni jordan. he still young, aabot pa siguro siya dun until he proves na kya niya maka-6 championship ring with him as the franchise player. his first 3 championships are with shaq who is the main man of the lakers then.

I don't think Kobe can ever match Jordan's career. Jordan never lost in the finals.
The only problem Kobe will have against Lebron is post up. But knowing Kobe, he'll find a way to win. Now, when Lebron's losing, he'll probably end up calling over Wade and Bosh just so he doesn't have to do everything by himself. ;D

eh kahit nga sa nba 2k11 game milya-milya pa din ang layo ng galing ni MJ kaysa kay kobe e.. ;) nyahahaha... ;D peace kobe fans! ;D
After Kobe last year, DH enlistss in Hakeem's training sessions. If Dwight learns half of The Dream's moves, Orlando will be a legitimate threat for the title this year.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mArHU1ewSog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mArHU1ewSog)
BTW, Hakeem looks like he could be good enough to drop 20 and 10 right now. Maybe Boston can sign him up? ;D

Veteran guard Stackhouse signs with Heat (http://ph.news.yahoo.com/afp/20101023/tsp-basket-nba-heat-stackhouse-642008c.html)
he was expressing his interest to sign with them for a long time... glad that he did. i believe he can help the heat with his experience. :D
hopefully.. But i consider him more of a jinx kasi e.. ;D
parehong pareho sila ni cris webber hehehehehe
I feel Miami is solely a perimeter oriented team. Great for the regular season but not conducive to winning during the playoffs.
celtics vs heat in leass than 8hrs from now! ;D
lol @ miami heat, other than the 3 they have no one else. hahaha. ang gulo ng offense nila, di alam kung ano gagawin.
Although Miami lost, they are very explosive offensively. I agree, its Lebron's team. We'll wait and see comes Playoffs.. :)
3. They'll have problems with teams with an inside game (Lakers??).
When much is given, much is expected. I feel sorry for the Heat fans. Miami is supposed to start with a bang, win this one against the No. 1 team in the East, as an Away team. Miami's supposed to make a statement to the NBA, damn it. And don't tell me it's only the first game. With the much vaunted triumvirate, it's not their job to lose a first game. That's Seattle's job. Or the Bucks. But Miami? They failed big time. The big 3 is a big fluke. Let's have a big 4, maybe another point guard like Rondo to make it real. Am I too harsh? Maybe I am but then again, when much talent is given, much is expected.
By the way, the 9 points they made in the first quarter is the lowest first quarter total of Miami in ten years! I rest my case.
lol @ miami heat, other than the 3 they have no one else. hahaha. ang gulo ng offense nila, di alam kung ano gagawin.
Miami's big 3 actually don't compliment each other. Their play is basically the same. Lebron and Wade have the same style of play. Bosh..basically is the same. He likes to play facing the basket instead of posting down low. You basically have 3 superstars who like to play with the ball in their hands to be effective facing the basket and slashing through the lane.
They are explosive or Lebron is explosive? ;D
^Yeah, if Kobe can score 81 in a game, so should the Big 3 ;D Oh and, Miami had 15 assists. Rondo, 17.
Welcome to LA, Steve Blake!

Wouldn't it be cool if the Cavs beat the Celtics today haha.
Cavs beat Celts 95-87. Lebron who again?
And Cavs fans can't wait for December 2 for the much awaited showdown with the Heat. Mark the date guys. Madugo to!

i wish this thread would still be active after like 5 years or so so I can see if im right or wrong.
LBJ will retire without a ring
unless he agrees to be second fiddle to bryant at the lakers, or trasfer to chicago leaving his ego at miami
or join the celtics also,
peace to all LBJ fans :) :)
Hakeem will always be the most skilled center I have seen play. I remember how he regularly embarassed his rivals like Ewing, Robinson and Shaq with those amazing post moves. Even if I rooted for the Knicks, I couldn't help but go "Whooa!" when he would fake out everybody with the patented Dream Shake. It's great that DH turns to him to learn some moves, as Dwight has only been relying on his athletic ability to score. If he can develop a decent midrange jumpshot along with those post moves, he'd be the complete package.
Now as for Boston signing an almost 50 year old Hakeem, he would join a frontcourt with Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal. If this was 10 years ago every other team would crap their pants just thinking about facing these guys. ;D
sorry sa OT pero what if di nagsemiretire si MJ dati tingin nyo magback to back champion ang houston that time?
nope, kung hindi siya ng retire nun.. 8 championship rings siya ngayon. ;)
Real cool haha.
Seriously now, the Cavs have a real coach for the first time this decade. Someone who knows how to win. Someone who was part of the best team ever (that's the Showtime Lakers, to you Celtics fans).
re Ralph Sampson...that guy is one heck of a power forward at 7'4" (?). Too bad he blew out his knees very early in his career. Agree that Olajuwon was one of the best who played his position in terms of his unique skill sets however I dont think he is the best. Shaq, Russel, Kareem and Wilt in their primes will surely give Olajuwon a nightmare. The Dream is a finesse player and though when he met Shaq at the finals Olajuwon was already in his prime back then and Shaq was in the league for 2 years only. Had they both met while they were in their prime, the 1999-2002 Shaq version will just simply overpower the Dream.
if Kareem and the Dream (both finesse players) were matched up in their prime the Captain will just simply skyhook him to death. He aint the player with the most points in the NBA for nothing not to mention several MVP honors and several rings to boot.
+1 For me the best center would probably be Bill Russel! But I don't believe that the 1999-2002 Shaq was better than Hakeem. The Dream was wiser, had better footwork, better perimeter game not to mention the good FT shooting... ;D Talo lang siya siguro ni Shaq sa power.. The 1999-2002 Shaq was all power to me! His game declined together with it.
Just my 2 cents! ;D Peace!
let's try and put together a monster center then.
footwork,shooting,FT shooting,FG percentage,rebounding,shot blocking,passing,post moves (dagdagan nyo pa as you see fit)
picks? :)

how about them jazz. come from behind win nanaman sila ngayon against orlando.
though i noticed if si wade gumagawa they end up winning pero if si lebron talo sila
Napansin ko din to pro parang hindi talaga priority ni james kumuha ng points.. more on assists siya.. score lang siya kung kailngan na like malas si wade o si bosh.. most of the time, late na siya gumagawa kya kulang na sa oras.. dapat yta siya na un maging main man din sa points.. mag backup n lng si wade ksi as of now, si wade pa din un 1st priority sa scoring..
I think LBJ should really PAD HIS STATS WITH SOME MORE POINTS. As Doyel has said, he should be more selfish or, in street lingo, bwakaw. Lebron should be more dominant, score more winning shots, ask for the ball during the dying minutes like what Jordan did. He should take over the game and let Wade or Bosh do their thing like what Pippen and Rodman/Longley did for Jordan. Problem is, Lebron ain't no MJ. Man, he's better off with Cleveland really.
Paul Pierce mocks LeBron James on Twitter
http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/25794905
LeBron always blames something else, now he is saying 44 minutes is not good for him and they can't finish games because he gest too many minutes.
Come on... toughen up... grow up you call yourself an MVP start acting like one... take the cudgels, blame it on yourself that you got beaten by a tougher team who still nows how to win in big games.
He blamed everyone in cleveland but himself now he is doing it again in miami... poor heat... poor coach spo...
3pts-FG Made by Phoenix against El-Ay, so far (with more than a minute left in the 3rd Quarter)...15...16...17...18...on 28 attempts, will it ever end? When it rains, it pours...19...20...21...22...New Franchise Record...All-Time record is 23x3FGM...
The Spurs are now 9-1 ... sana magtuloy-tuloy na ... sana makakuha pa ng, at least, isa pang championship ring ang Spurs, bago mag-retire si Duncan ... this is probably their last chance, in the Duncan era ... wala sana ang ma-injured sa mga players ... GO SPURS GO!!!

my non expert's opinion.
James and Bosh increased big time the OFFENSIVE prowess of Miami but we all know that even experts would always say DEFENSE win championship.
The Big 3 in Boston does not score big time all the time even on their championship runs but i believe they all play great defense.
When the Miami Heat won their championship with Shaq around, Wade and Shaq were srrounded by players who plays good defense. now Wade is surrounded by a couple of Offensive players who are not known to mix it up when the going gets tough.
I also think with the addition of LBJ it also added Miami's Defensive Prowess. He was also with Wade in the all defensive first team last year. ;)
No offense but the all defensive team in the NBA has some flaws, yes LBJ is very good defensively but overated. Yes he averages enough steals and blocks a lot of amazing shots very good for a highlight reel but for me that does not constitute being part of the all defensive team. A lot of NBA players are more deserving of this category unfortunately they are lesser known role players, but isnt that the point that their role is to defend people.
The difference is he is not a lock down player with the likes of Ron Artest, Gary Payton or Michael Jordan. He is not also a team concept defender who will patrol the lanes and chase after people who were forgotten by their man ala Bill Russell or a KG. The reason why Boston was so good in thier runs is that they have in their big 3 a healthy KG who does both of these categories well. This is also the reason why Pierce and Allen have improved tremendously on defense compared to their earlier years. Plus, of course a Rajon Rondo who is very intelligent defensively does not hurt hehe.
Yes Miami's Big 3 will have their moments, but their struggles early only shows us that it is not that easy building a championship team. You are combining both tremendous talents and ego's. Fortunately for the C's they realized how to do this early. And until the big 3 in Miami does the same it is still the Big 4 in Green and Mamba and Gasol in showtime that will be the teams to beat.
Talo na naman ang Miami... Morale must be really low with all these losses and injuries. Yari sila sa Cleveland next Friday. :)
^Parang puro hangin lang. Based on what I read, maangas masyado.
I actually think Wade and James can be good lockdown defenders if they choose to.. it's just that they've been goto guys their entire careers.. they've been tasked to score than to defend.. MJ was the same during his career.. he was a good lockdown defender when he chose to.. but he played the passing lanes and the weak side the same way Wade and James are doing now..
The same can be said about Kobe.. he can shut down a player if he chose to.. he did that during the last Olympic team.. I still remember how he went after Barbosa in that qualifying game against Brazil.. Opening tip pa lang bantay-sarado na si Barbosa..
I think the reason why these well-known players get the nod for the defensive team more often than those role players is that they do more than just defend.. those role players are just tasked to defend.. they don't have the burden of carrying the team on their backs every game night..
Now, at 8-7 I'm a bit shocked. But I can't help but laugh, perhaps this will be looked at as the darkest chapter in the Heat's saga, a time that they will refer to as giving them strength and bonding them together.
But then again, maybe the sum of the parts in this scenario are not equal to the whole? Maybe you cannot get 100% Bosh, Bron and Wade together, maybe it just doesn't work.
Right now, seeing the Heat lose gives me great pleasure, not sure why, I like LeBron and Wade, but I hate the idea of this team. I love seeing half filled arenas for Miami home games, I love the fact they have to run a 'Fan Up' campaign. I love the fact that these guys all went to a city that will only give a f*ck about basketball for a couple of weeks a year. they aren't having fun and they aren't
feeling the love. They are getting a raw deal, each of them should be a King, a CEO, a President (except for maybe Bosh) running their own team, charting their own path, but instead they thought they'd do it together, seemed like a good idea...now we need to wait and see.
Be careful what you wish for. lf LeBron was in NY right now, I'd be so much fun for the fans and for him. he'd be king of the world.
But this thing isn't over yet...
Spoelstra will be axed before XMas, then it will be Pat Riley's turn to make this work.
The Pat Riley phase will be the true test of this unit. If that fails then they seriously need to consider trading Wade or Bosh, sounds crazy trading Wade as he IS Miami, and it would make a lot of people hate LeBron even more, but LeBron is the WAY more valuable chip.
Watching them flounder is one of the great surprises of the season

btw, lakers have lost 4 straight now...
Cavs and Heat at 9am right?
Laker hate coming out from all over facebook! No worries though. Keep rooting for your favorite teams. You know, the ones that didn't win their 2nd straight championship a couple of months ago...
LBJ was all business today - 38-5-8. Guess he still feels at home in that arena. Can't believe though that he pulled off his chalk stunt in front of the Cavs' fans. More reason for the fans to hate him.
As for LA, all this "concern" about the 4-game skid seems premature. IMO, the Lakers' record at the end of this month would be a better gauge of whether the team really has the potential for a 3-peat. They'll be going on a 6-game Eastern road trip, and will be facing Miami, San Antonio and NO for the first time this season. Let's see how they'll fare then. Bynum should be back during this stretch, so Pau and Lamar can play less minutes.
Tama na rin 'yang discussion about last year's Finals. Champion pa rin LA. ;D
I doubt LA will have a 3-peat. ;) its too early to say.. i bet its Boston or Miami. :D

Trivia: no two teams that have met on Christmas have met again in the Finals.
I don't think the Lakers are even entertaining thoughts of a trade right now.. to be honest, I don't know what's happening to them.. they barely beat teams with losing records and they get smothered by those on the upper half.. if they keep playing this way, they'd be lucky to make the lower half of the West playoffs.. they're on their way to another 3-game losing streak, all on blowouts..
Trivia: no two teams that have met on Christmas have met again in the Finals.
Unless LA can turn their season around and play like they did last year, this piece of trivia will hold true again this year. So it will be San Antonio vs. Miami in the Finals. :)
I'm a Laker fan and I have doubts about them this season but in the East, I'm putting my money on the Celtics.. I just think the Heat will unravel come playoff time.. still hoping for another LA-Boston finals to finally settle the score.. ;D
I am all LA-Boston in the finals to settle the score! 1 all na kse e. ;D. So championship na talaga pag nagtapat sila. ;D
^ Malamang sa NBA Premium HD lang 'to available. I think it's available on Skycable HD and Cignal TV. They're airing the good games on this channel, and showing the so-so ones on BTV and Solar TV. Is anyone subscribing to that channel? Sulit ba?
yup its confirmed sana antonio vs boston on nba premium. almost all good games are there that is why i was forced to include this in my package though yung SD format lang. Still worth it at 150/month additional.

i agree, sir mattia magkano pag HD daw. I never inquired kasi.
Wala masyado offensive rebounds because Boston shot an impressive 61% from the floor.
Sadly for Boston, the main reason why they got Shaq and JO was to improve their length and rebounding. Can't say the two have been much help so far in the rebounding department.
Great, gutsy win by Boston by the way.
is shaq getting the minutes, i havent been watching basketball for quite sometime
Shaq's averaging under 20 minutes in the past 7 games. Here's Shaq's stats : http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6725/shaquille-oneal (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6725/shaquille-oneal)
I'd say he's getting quality minutes with Boston. I always say that under a good coach, Shaq's still a threat. And Doc Rivers surely knows when and how to use him.

When Shaq is getting minutes in with the starters, he's been quite productive. Problem is, against the Spurs yesterday, one of the referees was Bill Kennedy, who is rumored to have a vendetta against Shaq. This is the same ref that got Shaq fined $35K just recently.
Yes, more often the games in BTV and Solar are not good since Sky wants us to shift to NBA premium. If you're a Laker, Boston or Heat fan, maiinis ka na sa BTV kasi di mo na mapanood ang mga fave teams mo. Kaya I got na din yun channel 71. Sulit na din for P150 a month (SD) and for HD, looks like sulit na din for P350 a month.

Just watched the Lakers Vs. Warriors online. One of Kobe's better scoring games in recent years. Also, the Warriors just couldn't miss, the Lakers just made more shots, free throws and rebounds. Reminded me of last season's Lakers Suns playoff games
Saw the replay. One of the better shootout games. Kobe vs Ellis, astig! Yes, Warriors played an awesome game. LA, particularly Kobe, simply played better. A Wild West Shootout indeed...

4 losses in a row since the karma tweet. Injured pa si Bosh. ;D
here are my NBA mid season awards
MVP - Derrick Rose or Kevin Durant - Hard to decide from those 2 right now and they both deserve it.
All NBA team
Derrick Rose
Dwane Wade
Kevin Durant
Amare Stoudamire
Dwight Howard
The hardest to decide will be the Small forward since I know LBJ deserves it also but I think Durant deseves the nod right now.
Defensive Player of the Year - Kevin Garnett - No one is more ferocious in the D specially Team Defense than the Big Ticket, plus his communication makes his team mates D become even better.
Rookie of the Year - Blake Griffin - enough said hehe
Most Improved Player - Kevin Love - Monster - He was already good but right now he is definitely BETTER...
6th Man - Jamal Crawford - With the Jet starting now because of injuries, i think there is no one better and more explosive off the bench.
Coach of the year - Tom Thibodeau - author of Boston's D, now doing the same for the up coming Bulls
Executive of the Year - Pat Riley - Just to bring Wade, LBJ and Bosh together deserves his winning...
How about yours...
Rookie of the Year - Blake Griffin - enough said hehe
Blake is qualified, technically, he is a rookie ... since, he did not play last season.
yup he is qualified that is why he is also playing for the rookies in the all star game. Though for me he deserves a slot in the real main event together with Kevin Love...

Celtics impose their will on the Lakers after a lackluster first half.
Celtics impose their will on the Lakers after a lackluster first half.
Lakers' big men were outplayed and outhustled. It was a team game for Boston and a mere Kobe show for L.A. Boston defended so well. But more than that, they played impeccable offense - 60.3 percent for the game, including 70 percent (14 for 20) in the fourth quarter. Can't beat Boston in that kind of a game.
age is beginning to catch up with the lakers...
or baka naman nagpapakagat lang..

or baka naman nagpapakagat lang..
+1 to that sir. So far this season, the Lakers are 0-4 against the Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat – and those four losses have come by an average of 13.2 points.
Kobe says he is not worried, but fans are beginning to get restless in LA. Even the great Jerry West chastised his beloved Lakers saying they can't play defense and they are getting old. hhhmmm...
my friend who resides in LA and is a big laker fan put this on his FB status - "Fire Phil Jackson!" >:(
yup, but remember, the celtics is not a young team either, and yet the lakers got outplayed at both ends of the court. i think the better teams are just playing tougher whenever they are up against the lakers because they know beating the defending champs will be a big psychological advantage come playoffs.
i agree.rondo is really a matchup problem even with other teams (esp the miami heat). he just creates a lot of opportunities for his teammates and plays hardnosed defense at the other end. pag sa PG position, no contest talaga si fisher and blake. sa other positions na lng mkakabawi ang lakers. odom can be the x-factor. if odom can bring his A-game, pwede ma offset kahit papaano yung game ni rondo.
and of course the ultimate closer in Kobe.
by reputation..kobe is the man..just like MJ...
the hell with those stats...
All-Star Reserves - My vote goes to ...
EAST - I'll Pass ...
WEST - Westbrook, D-Will, Manu, Nowitzki, Gasol, Love, Gay, Duncan - Alternate: Griffin ...
Also, the Spurs (unofficially) will be well represented - Manu and Duncan (Main Game) - Parker (Skills) - Gary Neal and DeJuan Blair (Rookie-Sophomore Game) ...
Rookie: Gary Neal, Blake Griffin, John Wall, Landry Fields. Greg Monroe, DeMarcus Cousins and [please fill in the blanks]
Plus, the announcement of the Hall of Fame Class of 2011 Finalists/Ballot to be led by Reggie Miller (so, the question now is, will he get the call on his first year of eligibility? Remember, some players like Adrian Dantley, Dennis Johnson, etc did not get the call on their first year of eligibility)...

melo to lakers trade talks
http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=6101304 (http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=6101304)
sana matuloy! this gonna be an exciting playoffs!
LA shut down rumors
sana manalo naman lakers... :D
I'm kinda shocked when Jerry Sloan resigned. One of the class acts in the NBA even though i never rooted for Utah. Well, at least Pops is still there.
Boston playing pretty good considering a depleted line up.
Great game by LA in the 2nd half. Boston ran out of air..
Very happy for Allen who is now the new record holder for most 3-pointers made. ;D

past couple of years I havent been watching the Slam Dunk contest however im gonna watch it this year just because of Griffin.
halos lahat n yata nagawa na sa slamdunk...sana nga may ipakitang iba naman si blake..
pero ako..carter pa rin!
nakakainis may office activity kami this weekend di ko ito mapapanood nasa boracay kami for a seminar sana may makukunang kopya
ive been wanting to see a real slam dunk contest again, if vince carter is participating, then its a good one. blake is not shoe in to win. i hope jason richradson will also participate.
;D I'd rather be in boracay than watching this hehehe.. ;D
ive seen someone from and1 video who tried a 720...is that real?
Lakers are playing uninspired basketball. As a Celtic fan, I'm more wary of the Spurs and the Mavs than I am with the Lakers.
im a celts fan too.
based on what i hear and read in papers, it seems the lakers are not even close to half of what they were last year. I used to know pau gasol as someone very dominant then it came that he became just one of the guys, it seems this is happenning again.
now this situation would perhaps really differentiate kobe from jordan.
I think Kobe shouldn't be compared to Jordan. Ibang level na si Jordan. Unless somebody actually believes Kobe is comparable to Jordan? That would be ridiculous.
^No Reggie Miller in the HOF.
keyword dun is laker fans, they are fans of the team and the best player on the team which is kobe. so sino pupuriin nila? si lebron?
it would be unfair to compare kobe to jordan all the time. he is a different individual with a different career path. eh di sana lahat na ng player kinompare kay jordan.
kobe is kobe, jordan is jordan.
yes, unless manalo pa si kobe ng 3 championships hindi siya pwde compare kay jordan. considering na un first 3 championships niya, hindi si kobe un main guy, back-up lang siya ni shaq.
As for best player in NBA today, LBJ all the way! sooner or later, mananalo din sila ng championship..
daniel gibson is a joke! 7 pts in 5 racks, si ray allen naka 8 pts na agad 2 racks pa lang.
what a waste in the 3pt roster, wala na ba sila ibang mapili??
Sa Finals lang kumakamada si Shaq kasi walang quality centers like Duncan sa East.uhm, dwight??
uhm, dwight??
I agree, javale and ibaka got robbed...
I was talking about the time nung first Lakers 3-peat, AND di pa nagkaharap sa NBA Finals si Shaq at si Dwight.
si kobe sidekick lang nuong araw ni shaq yan... ;D
kaya kung tutuusin 2 pa lang rings ni kobe...dahil un unang tatlo kay shaq yun....
lol. last time i checked buong team even the staff will receive a ring.
shaq cant win it without kobe and kobe cannot win it without shaq.
Bah! Jordan vs Kobe nanaman? Let it go guys. Both of them are good. Pity that the argument is usually crazy like "Oh Kobe wouldnt have won without Shaq. Oh, MJ had Pippen to help him out" Crazy coz it's a team game. Can't touch Bird vs Magic though. LAkers-Celtics and NBA Finals rivalry pa.

Hey, I've been reading online that Lebron's people "asked" ESPN to remove the picture of him looking like a fool trying to block Kobe's two-handed slam. It's like when Lebron asked ESPN to remove videos of him being dunked on by a young un some time back. What a douche!
Sources: Knicks land Carmelo Anthony

I don't like this move. NY could have looked for a good center instead.
My vote for ASG MVP was for CP3. His stat line won't show it, but the East lost on turnovers. Paul made 5 steals, but caused many more turnovers through his disruptive presence. His energy also drove the West team, later picked up by Deron and Westbrook. CP3 got Mamba going, got KD going, got everyone going. Beat Rondo at his own game too, which is not a mean feat.
wow if chauncey will stay for long, another big 3 in the big apple, chauncey melo amar'e
I don't like this move. NY could have looked for a good center instead.
It is also rumored that owner James Dolan consulted instead with former Pres. Isiah Thomas ...
Looks like the Knicks are looking at completing their real Big 3 prior to the start of the 2012-13 season, when Chris Paul and Deron Williams will be available as free agents. :o In the meantime, they will probably make the playoffs this season (and probably exit in the second round because they will suck at playing defense), and look to add a couple of more pieces (SG, C) for the 2011-12 season.
+1 CP3
...or KD with his clutch baskets in the closing minutes when the East was closing in on them..
d'antoni, amare and defense is oxymoronic
boston is different, pp ray and kg are on the same page especially kg even sometimes acts as an a$$ but he anchors the defense and lets not forget the celtics in 08 have a pretty good defensive supporting cast. that is what lacking in both miami and new york, really i wont be surprise if we see boston again in the finals.
In the end, Amare-Melo-Chauncey is much better than a Amare-Gallo-Felton trio.
Whoever NY gave up, they gave up too much I think. Melo was going to NY anyway this summer.
New york had no choice. I think it was Anthony who wanted this deal to go down this year as to be guaranteed with the 65 million contract. He would not risk waiting to wait till free agency next year with the trade bargaining agreement looming and possibly be left out with less money. What he risked though was letting go of quality players like Gallo, Felton and Chandler who would have complimented him and aMare just in case he waited. It really is and always the money first no matter what some of these stars say otherwise...
I really think it is the contrary. If signing an extension was of priority, he would have done that already in Denver or at least considered signing the extension in New Jersey. New york I believe really had all the leverage.
no what I mean is that Anthony knew from the start he wanted to be in New York, it has always been his first option and might be his only option... we may never know... that is why the new jersey deal fell off though denver wanted the deal more.... carmelo did not want to sign the extension with new jersey. This forced the hand of denver to pick the NY deal, it was not about the extension but the money involved. New York did not have the leverage because if Denver lets Carmelo walk they recieve nothing in return so it is really beneficail also for them to get the deal done, It was Melo who had all the leverage, and he made the best out of it... he wanted the deal now so he can make sure he gets the guaranteed money and he manuevered brillantly to get to the team he really wanted.
Melo had leverage over Denver yes. But Melo doesn't have leverage over New York di ba? New York was in no way obligated to get into negotiations with Denver. If Melo said he will only sign an extension with New York, then Melo gave New York leverage over Denver as Denver is forced to ONLY deal with New York or be forced to let Melo go without any compensation. If Melo really wanted only to play for the Knicks, then New York can just sit and wait for Melo to become a free agent. That's what I meant that New York had all the leverage. Melo's unofficial statement that he only wants to play for New York gave the Knicks all the leverage to dictate negotiations with Denver. New York was in no way obligated to deal with Denver. They could have just stayed pat.
That is the problem, Melo never said that he will only sign with New York, he just kept in for himself though it was becoming pretty obvious, In the NBA a superstar player will always have the leverage over any team if he is unrestricted. New York was never sure of landing Anthony after the trade deadline because even as you said New York had the upper hand because they know Melo's preference is with them, what Denver had over them is the trade rights of Melo... if NY just sits and offer nothing would you think the nuggets will just roll over and wait until Melo leaves... No the nuggets will find a way to trade Melo and get at least something in return from another team in another trade, this is what the Knicks are afraid of that's why they brokered the deal even though they gave up too many pieces... in the end kudos to Melo cause he got all that he wanted in the first place.
It is also rumored that owner James Dolan consulted instead with former Pres. Isiah Thomas ...
Melo's agent did say Melo would only play for New York. Any free agent can choose wherever he wants to play of course. But Melo can't force New York to make a trade. If Melo is really committed to signing in New York, then to an extent, New York can dictate the terms. Let's say Denver did trade Melo to New Jersey. What's to keep Melo from still signing with New York after the season?
The situation on the pending collective bargaining agreement.... that is just it. Any season where the CBA is set and not having discussed, I think Melo would have waited. But with the worsening situation of the CBA Melo had to lead the Knicks to think that he is thinking of also signing with the Nets extension offer, the Nets here from the start were pawns to lure NY into trading. Now that the deal is done Melo is expected to receive 83M USD in 4 years. which will be surely way below if Melo had waited for the offseason and just signed with NY. Takutan lang yan... Melo did not force NY yes but he made sure they were made to believe that its either you trade for me now and i get my money or you may end up having none of me if you wait. That is why i think Melo has always had the upper hand and he exploited this to the fullest. Good for him... Bad for the city of NY...
^ Also gaining momentum is the ATL-WAS 5-player trade, with Hinrich and Bibby as the notable players.
I love the Melo going to New York deal. Amare + Melo = scorching ticket sales! Maganda na silang panuorin ngayon.
Clippers are trading Baron Davis to Cleveland for Mo Williams (and Jamario Moon). An injured PG for another injured PG. ??? But the Clips are apparently trying to free up cap space to become a major FA player.iwwW nilalangaw talaga cavs..kinuha pa nila si byron scott pero same sht.....
Yeah, but would you rather remain a good team in next few years or be champion now?
D. Ainge does not make blunders with these trades. If I smell it right, na i really do hope so there will be other players coming in both this season via buy outs and signings (Rip, Dalembert or Murphy) and by the off season (big franchise player). That is why they needed to unload some men. they got rid of 5 and got only 2 in return plus draft picks, so this means the 3 slots must be filled. But none the less being a C's fan i am getting nervous were this thing goes until everything else settles...
Yeah, but would you rather remain a good team in next few years or be champion now?
Shaq will now play 30+ mins which I think is asking too much.
I don't really feel that bad about the Celtics deal, maybe because I'm not that much of a Celtics fan. I see their center slot as more of a platoon situation, with O'Neal/Krstic/Davis/Garnett sharing minutes. I remember them beating Orlando w/ that strategy -- with multiple centers matching up against Dwight. On the other hand, the acquisition of Green gives them the versatile wingman that they always wanted as well as a key piece for the future. I remember that their offense always stagnated whenever they subbed in Tony Allen last yr. because of T. Allen's inability to hit outside shots. The Celtics won't have the same problem with Green who is a versatile and talented scorer. I don't think that they have a chance of nabbing Battier w/out giving out Perkins either. Houston wanted a big for Battier. Not only did they got a big (a stiff maybe, but a stiff w/ potential), they also got a first rd. pick from Memphis as well.
As for OKC, they are gonna give the Lakers major trouble if they ever face them in the playoffs. Not only do they have the size to compete against them, but also the Westbrook/Durant tandem is gonna give their aging defenders (Fisher,Artest) a ton of trouble.

kahit 20 na lang tapos yung 10 kay jermaine o neal, censya na sir love na love ko talaga si shaq eh hahahahah
by the way kung matutuloy yung dwight howard, will this be good for the celts? nag base na lang kase ako nababasa dito eh bihira na ako makanood.
it seems to me ang daming magagaling dati na biglang wala na like vince carter di na sya napapagusapan

Actually Dwight was contained majority of the time primarily by Perkins alone. The benefit of having Perkins is that he doesn't need help guarding Dwight. Green while being a scorer isn't really an outside shooter either. For the season he is I believe hitting only 28% of his 3's. The knock on Green is that he doesn't shoot from the outside particularly well, doesn't play defense and is a mediocre rebounder.

The knock on Green is that he doesn't shoot from the outside particularly well, doesn't play defense and is a mediocre rebounder.Yeah, Perkins did defend/contain Dwight most of the time, but the Celtics frontcourt depth (Sheed/Big Baby) helped him a lot whenever he got into foul trouble. His departure is indeed a big loss to the Celtics, but I don't think he deserves the 45-50mil extension he was apparently asking for.
Being an unrestricted free agent though, Perk can still sign with an East contender. But he will lose more money and an extra year on the contract.
GWallace to POR - good move for the Blazers.
lakers na magchachampion n naman...nataranta n lahat nagpalakas n ng ilalim un okc..un mavs naman walang kwenta sa playoffs..un spurs naman pag may nainjured na isang player wala na...ang dali sa west kumpara sa east..butas ng karayom...
Heat and New York are on today right?Close game. End of 3rd, Heat-66 Knicks-65.
Close game. End of 3rd, Heat-66 Knicks-65.
A great comeback by the Knicks after losing to the lowly Cavs the other day.
Chauncey proved they have their own version of the Big 3. ;)
Corey Brewer Race - Mavericks? Spurs? Celtics?
Jeff Green will spare Pierce in guarding Lebron. Pag nakuha pa si Corey Brewer, he can spare Ray in guarding Kobe.
I don't know what the fuzz is all about with Troy Murphy. He is not a defensive player, worst he is soft!
Kailangan na talagang i activate yung 2 Oneals! Kailangan hasain na and mga veteran moves (note: gulang!) pagdating ng playoffs to handle Dwight, Gasol and Bynum
Some of Boston's plays with KG and Big Baby are baseline and wing jumpshots coming from Rondo passes. Murphy is a good jump shooter so he will have no problem with these plays. This is the reason also they got Kristic since he shoots the jump shot well. And off course Murphy is a proven strong rebounder where ever he went so he will really be of great help. Though I agree it will still boil down to how the 2 o' neals contribute come play off time.
is this kristic the star player of greece? I recall watching a game and was able to watch him, from what I saw, he is a good player, nice touch from the outside for a big man.
Wow! What a turnaround by Orlando and a collapse by Miami!
from a Boston fan's stand point... thank you Orlando hehe... at least now we are 2 games ahead already of Miami...
As usual, James is MIA in the 4Q :D
Wow! What a turnaround by Orlando and a collapse by Miami!They have to find an escape goat. Could Spoelstra's job be in jeopardy now?
i rather have the last shot (good oppurtunity) and missed than have nothing to do with the last play,
Hindi lang yun e. Ayaw tumira sa 4Q. Iniingatan yata masyado stats or iwas masisi kung matalo sila.
For someone who is arguably the best player in the NBA, parang isa lang yata ang game winner ni Lebron. Even si Paul Pierce who may not be in his class....eh mas marami pa!+1.
bad shot by bosh... hay...
napansin ko din to... actually 2nd half.. ayaw nila tumira ni wade.. jumps shots lahat.. ayaw magdrive.. weird eh.
Whoa! It's only the 1st qtr and the Spurs are already up 24 versus the Heat! :o :oIt would be redemption if they turn this around... ;D
It would be redemption if they turn this around... ;D
but we're talking of the current best NBA team collapsing... ::)
Spoelstra said some Heat players are crying in the locker room at the moment.
WTF .... sishin ba yung mga fans.... grow up man. Now you know that it takes more than 3 egos to win a championship.... pero nung umpisa at unveiling nila ang yabang... Wade is one of my favorite players right now.. kaya lang mukhang nahawa na siya kay LeBron
Wasn't it JVG who predicted that the Heat will break the 72-10 record?
LeCry?
Lebron missed another gamewinner. I thought in the start, this is Wade's team, but I guess they will live and die with Lebron in the dying seconds.
1 of 18 when they trail by less than 3 in the last 10 seconds......and thats the regular season. That stat would drastically become worse if they are faced with the same situation come playoff time because defenses are geared specifically to stop the go to guys of the opposing teams.
I couldnt imagine Kobe and the Lakers going 1 for 18 if they were faced with the same situation....maybe Durant and OKC would even have a better record than that.
in short the Heat are big time chokers when the game is on the line and they are behind or in a position to win in the dying seconds.
"I do chuckle a little bit when they complain about the scrutiny they get," Van Gundy, a former Heat coach, told reporters in Orlando. "My suggestion would be if you don't want the scrutiny, you don't hold a championship celebration before you've even practiced together. It's hard to go out yourself and invite that kind of crowd and celebration and attention, and then when things aren't going well, sort of bemoan the fact that you're getting that attention."
question lang po, i get the chance to watch the heat bulls game, apart from the game itself, napansin ko yung tatak sa uniform nila, yung sa he nakalagay LE HEAT yung sa bulls naman LOS BULLS, wahta does it mean? sorry for this question but i havent been watching the games lately
nagpapakagat lang ang miami...
balak yata palitan si erik s.
pat riley uli
para may dahilan lang...
How can the bench score when they shoot the ball all the time? Even Bosh can't get enough attempts.
talo na naman miami ::)
The story? Blazers bench - 41, Heat - 8.
more so Lebron has always had confidence that he and the Heat can take on LA.
Lebron always has confidence that he can beat anyone...
For 3 quarters ;D
Lebron always has confidence that he can beat anyone, the real question is does his team mates share the same confidence now...
LA-Miami on Friday......
Both streak continues.......or both streak ends that night.
Lebron's teams have been 3-0 over the last three games versus the Lakers though.
yep...true. That was the case as well with San Antonio vs LA this year...before they blew out the Spurs in front of the Spurs' home town crowd.
When championship pride sets in...its a totally different ballgame.
Lebron always has confidence that he can beat anyone, the real question is does his team mates share the same confidence now...
got this from ESPN...the Heat must go 18-0 in their last 18 games of the season in order to match the record of Cleveland last year when LeBron was there.
LeBron: "If Chris wants the ball, he should ask for it"http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=6198449
miami is just a hate-able team right now...
plus this lebron fellow sure know how to blow things up
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=6198449
No defense is more like it. Except for the 3rd quarter, imagine the Clippers dropping at least 30pts on the Celtics in each quarter! That's huge!!!
yup you got it right, the vaunted Boston D was absent...
Absent na talaga yan D nila tsk... wala na kse yung 2nd pillar of defense nila - si Perkins!
Wala naman silang ipinalit sa pwesto ni Perkins na able to withstand the biggies of the NBA!
Of course kung nandyan si Shaq and/or JO pwede na, di na masyadong butas sa gitna. Kaya lang parang sa panaginip na lang yan mangyayari ;D.
Malaking bagay yung injury nina davis and delonte sa defense nila. Once these 2 get back and Shaq is again available everything will be fine.
Miami 94, LA 88 (Final Score). San na kya Miami haters ngayon ???
Here :) Lakers bench didn't deliver enough today.
nice game by both teams. buti naman quality game pinalabas ng BTV. Dallas now in a dogfight with NY. if they lose they get tied with the Lakers for 2nd place in the West which makes their game with the Lakers this weekend more important for playoff position. Bosh played well today and so did Miller and Bibby. Very little bench scoring for the Lakers today which did them in.
great back and forth game, eh kung ganyan palagi heat at si bosh e di walang iyakan he..he
sweet win for the heat.. see you lakers again in the finals.. ;D ;D
Miami 94, LA 88 (Final Score). San na kya Miami haters ngayon ???
present sir actually lebron hater lang ako ;D
Ako din, i don't like Kobe. Pero type ko un venomenon shoes nya :o . Malamang bumili ako, he, he
wrong move talaga tingin ko pag trade kay perkins.
as a laker fan i would want a celtics vs lakers part 3. hehe.
great win by Miami... big 3 had good support with the bench led by miller. Maybe with this win they can start to have some momentum and make the east a 3 way contest again with the Bulls and Celts.
Rondo's stat line for the night: 2 pts., 3 reb., 3 asst., 3 stls.
You would think the Celtics would've lost the game with Rondo playing that bad, yet the C's blow out the Bucks 87-56 setting the franchise record for fewest points allowed by ANY Celtics team ever, at the same time holding the Bucks to a franchise low 56 points - the fewest points ever scored by any Bucks team, ever.
Too bad they couldn't break the NBA record for fewest points allowed in a game, which is 49 by the 99 Bulls.
Bynum was huge in the Dallas game. 0.5 game na lang ang lead ng Dallas over LA. Its turning out to be a three way battle for the East between the Celts, Bulls and Heat.
lalo na nyung kulay apple green i like
sorry sa OT
Rondo's stat line for the night: 2 pts., 3 reb., 3 asst., 3 stls.

You probably meant stat-wise. I don't think he played bad at all. He was +15 in the game.

Almost same height but MJ's much more muscular.
LA tinatambakan ang Spurs 97-84 with 27 secs to go, with Kobe injured pa ha? Go LA!
LA tinatambakan ang Spurs 97-84 with 27 secs to go, with Kobe injured pa ha? Go LA!
Bro....Magic yata kalaban kanina ng LA ;D
OO ng pala! Magic. Sorry. Heat pala ang kalaban ng Spurs.
Anyway, Si Superman Howard almost had a triple double, 22 points, 15 rebounds and 9 turnovers!
tapos yung LA, as a team, 3 lang turnovers.. si Bynum talaga x-factor ngayon.. he's dominant on the boards and he's altering shots consistently.. malaking bagay rin yung pagbalik ni Barnes..
Bumawi El Heat sa Los Spurs 110-80. :o :D ;D
si mj na lang kunin nilang coach...hahahaha...
susunod kaya si kobe kay mj?
#1 na sa east ang bulls
si mj na lang kunin nilang coach...hahahaha...
susunod kaya si kobe kay mj?
boring un bulls- lakers sa finals..
heat - lakers the best!!!!
MJ maybe perhaps the greatest player in the NBA, but he himself admitted he cannot be an effective coach. Even as a team owner, MJ's decision making is questionable. Look what happened to the Wizards from 2000 to 2003 and now, the Bobcats.
Are you talking to me? I mean, are you talking to me?

boring un bulls- lakers sa finals..
heat - lakers the best!!!!
sa tingin niyo b sino b gusto makalaban ni kobe sa finals?
ako tingin ko heat eh...
I want the Grudge Match: Celtics vs. Lakers III (matchup is tied at 1-1). Hope fully this happens and both teams are 100% healthy. No excuses. May the best team win.
sabagay pag celtics nandun si shaq...mejo may konting drama...
pero pag heat lakers talaga...iba eh..parang mayweather-pakyaw
We're not even sure if the Lakers will win the West ;)
boring or not its still the finals, remember 2005 finals spurs vs pistons, sabi ng mga analyze snoozefest, pero hindi defense made it exciting
it had the worst ratings in nba finals history. no one was excited to watch that series.
dadaan sa butas ng karayom ang heat sa east..unlike lakers parang namamasyal lang sa west...
it won't be a walk in the park for LA.. far from it.. malakas yung West.. Portland, New Orleans and Denver are capable of an upset.. tapos a possible 2nd round match-up with Dallas and a conference finals with either the veteran Spurs or the young Thunder.. para kang namamasyal sa Iraq nyan.. ;D
the Heat will have trouble in the East, for sure.. malaki ang chance na 2nd round pa lang Celtics na agad.. tapos may Orlando at Chicago pa na naghihintay, if ever..
blazers, hornets and nugs problem will be homecourt if ever makalaban nila lakers...sino b naman pupusta dito sa 3 teams na to vs lakers tapos lakers pa home adv....tsk tsk tsk..kakarnehin tong 3 teams n to...
Yap, it's called playing with odds. Palagay mo na even ang odds ( meaning walang over/under ), will a smart bettor place his money on these teams, or even the Spurs or Mavs OR will he still go for an "aging" Lakers? Sa East naman, will you risk it with Miami, Chicago or will you go for Boston? In the end, dun ka pa rin sa mga llamado pupusta eh.
If the playoffs are to be held today, eto ang matchups:
East : Boston Vs. Indiana / Chi vs Phi / Mia vs NY / Orl vs Atl
West : SA vs Utah / Dal vs Mem / LA vs Por / Den vs NO
My pick in the finals? Rematch ng Crispa Toyota, este Boston LA pala!
that's what people were saying last year.. mamasyal lang daw Lakers.. but it took them 2 lucky shots to avoid 2 game 7's that could have gone either way.. I'm a Laker fan but I'm not going to flat out say that they are going to win the West.. I will hope they win but I would not be surprised if they don't..
I am going to say, however, that the Heat won't get past the 2nd round.. that if they do get out of the 1st.. ;D
The Nuggets are actually 9-2 after the trade.
un losing streak nila ...drama lang yun eh... :D

You need to watch other teams ;D Teams, hindi players.
Like I said, you need to watch other teams. Teams, hindi players. And I don't think a team need to shut down Kobe to win. They may be even better off letting him score at will ;D
Go Heat!!!
Seriously, I think a rematch between Lakers and OKC would be exciting to watch. Last year, they almost got beat by this team. It's a young, energetic talented team. And I like Westbrook and of course, Durant Durant.
Talo bro kanina eh. Pwede ang Heat kung sa pwede but ang hirap pustahan. Lalo pag crucial games. And besides, no NBA team has won the championship without a dominant center, except perhaps the Jordan led Chicago Bulls. Sino sentro ng Heat na magaling? Unless magaling na para sa yo si Zydrunas ;D Yari sa playoffs sa tingin ko.
Who will guard Kobe? Like I said, they may be better off letting him score at will ;D

but they have garnett who is alwys whispering some pumped up words for perk... ;D
Celtics did it with Perkins who is far from dominant.
dami talaga kobe haters... :D
But still far from a dominant center. 4pts and 3.6rebs lang stats ni Perk nun finals.
kasi buwaya yan... magaling nga buwaya naman... he he he...
thats why he has 5 rings... :D

pero nun nagchampion sila halos si kg na nagsesntro eh..kasi nakainsert sa lineup nila si posey....big baby at leon powe ang nasa pf...parang backup n nga lang si perk eh..ska wala kasi bynum nun...kaya gasol sentro lakers..pero nun regular season nila perk ang legitimate center nila..mejo binalasa lang ni doc nun finals...starter siya.. pero sa endgame nakaupo din...
ok...i will drop 81 on jr smith
- kobe
Sure ;D I'd like to see that. Teka, kaya pa ba ng tuhod nya? It's practically bone on bone. Btw, he scored 18 pts and had 6 TOs in his last game with Denver.

we are very scared of the nuggets now.... ;D
we are worried with the afflalo's and ty lawson's...and the guy from ny who looks like cedric the entertainer..what his name? felton..? :D
kidding aside...sabi ni cwebber nuggets are the most dangerous team now..they are a deep team daw..
can't wait for the playoffs,
agree lakers are on a roll coming off the all star break, other teams too, i like the okc vs lakers in the west finals
hmmm.... buwaya pa rin... ;D
Let's see the top NBA players in assists, eto ang mga hindi "buwaya" ha--
No. 1 - John Stockton 15,806 apg
No. 2 - Jason Kidd 11,485 apg
No. 3 - Marc Jackson 10,334 apg
No. 4 - Magic Johnson 10,141 apg
Si Magic lang ang nag champion diyan, The rest alang ring. Nasan yun mga "buwaya"? Kadalasan yan ang mga nagdadala ng champion teams.
Larry Bird is at 34th followed by Jabbar and then Michael Jordan pang no. 36 in his entire career. KOBE surprisingly is at the 50th spot in assists with 5,089 assists in 1,089 games or 4.7 assists per game.
What am I saying? If you're the go to guy and you want to be champs, you gotta be a ballhog, score more and pass less...

if you watch the okc vs heat game, kita mo gano ka buwaya si lbj, doesnt mean madami sya assists di na sya buwaya, he dominates the ball 90% of the time, nawawalan ng silbi ang pg ng heat.

ha ha ha...
mababa ba ang shooting percentage ni Kobe? kasi sa dami nang tira nya eh...
mas buwaya kaya si Kobe... di pa nagaassist... he he he
Kobe latest FG% is 45.5%
Jordan is 49.7%
Bird is 49.6%
Your Miami Heat's Lebron is 47.7% ;D
comment with pure hate. lol.
GOAT michael jordan isa din sa mga buwaya yan sa nba 32,292 pts all time in just 1,072 games imagine that.
yet is a proven winner.
whatever rocks your boat. either kobe or lbj or durant etc...
but when the game in on the line....stats dont matter anymore...
its reputation ... ;D
Yup and that is where Kobe separates himself from Lebron.
yup... Kobe as buwaya sa laro... (hate na hate talaga noh!)
thats why he has 5 rings... :Dhe has 5 rings because he has a hell of a teammate before named shaq.could have been six kung hindi sya nag epal nung lakers detroit series.add me to kobe hater list,hehehe

Polarizing lang talaga si Kobe.....and yes, even the Lakers. If I aint a Laker fan, Id hate Kobe too.
And about Kobe being a ball-hog, yes....you wouldnt be current 6th all time scoring if you werent a little selfish. Same goes with MJ too.
Nagkataon lang ng pumasok si Kobe, he was a brash arrogant kid.....at a time when MJ was in his last years and universally loved........I think thats where the hate started from.....
nasa 0.370 lang si Steve Kerr...
Saan ka naman ba tumingin? ;D He's 726-1599 from beyond the arc. That's 45.4%

Maybe we should start a separate thread on NBA History haha. Anyway back to 2011...
Lakers should be worried. Wade just said OKC is better. With the addition of Perk, and with Nazr and Collison, they are now being called a younger Boston (in terms of D). They're also more athletic than LAL. Experience na lang ang lamang ng Lakers.

That's why I think now is the best chance for kobe to get his 6th ring and 2nd 3peat. If he doesn't succeed this year he may not have another chance at it again given that:
1. Master Zen is likely to retire at the end of the season
2. Kobe is getting old (he's 32 now)
3. His legs is getting wobbly due to injuries in the past
4. Young teams are on the rise to replace him and the lakers
by the way, the above is also applicable to Boston and the big 3 unfortunately!
Just my 2 cents! ;D
Miami was defeated by OKC today, but WOW, what a dunk by Wade over Perkins :o , it could be the dunk of the year.
Just saw this. Poster dunk. Pero di ba travelling 'to?

LAL-OKC & MIA-BOS Conference Finals this May. Hope this will happen.
Just one more thing about OKC. Which player has won the most number of Western Conference Player of the Week awards?
The answer might surprise you.
bakit sa Yahoo Sport... lakers ang Division Champ.. di ba dapat Spurs.
Lakers are division champs kasi they are leading the pacific division and no one in that division right now can catch them. The next team Phoenix has only 35 wins and with 14 games remaining in their sched even if they win all they will only get to 49 wins, still short of the 50 right now by the lakers even if they lose all their last 12 games( which is even impossible).
While the spurs even though they lead the whole western conference, still has the mavericks to contend with the division lead. When the Mavericks no longer have a chance at overtaking the spurs only then will they be declared division champs of the southwest.
Duncan out indefinitely:

Anyone here catch the latest ESPN 30 for 30? It's the story of Michigan's Fab Five of Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. Very informative and entertaining docu. It's the second 30 for 30 I've seen after Reggie Miller vs Knicks (which is a must-watch for NBA fans)
Duncan out indefinitely:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap;_ylt=AkM6ibWB.cXnDCxxi7ByNrQ5nYcB?gid=2011032124
ohh shooot! WTF!!! bad bad timing for the spurs! >:(
ganda ng laban ng phoenix at lakers
2 consecutive steal for Lakers... pambihira namang phoenix ito... nagpabaya eh...
meron na bang nba game na umabot ng 4 OT?
a game between indianapolis and rochester in 1951 went into six overtimes.
hahabol pa lakers na maging number 1 seed....
3rd OT! What a game ;D
Kobe in a near triple double performance 40-12-9. He just made a three point shot for the lead!
Western Shootout ito!!!
^That would 12 rebs. He did have 9 assists. He was quite efficient - 15-31 FG, 9-11 FT, 3-5 3PT.
Vince Carter, why, oh, why won't you just drive? You are 2-13 from the beyond the arc., why take the 3?
The Carter trade is a big mistake for the Suns. They would have been better off with J-Rich.I thought that the Carter trade was actually very very good for the Suns. Not only did they get rid of Hedo's horrendous contract but they also got a pretty good center with Marcin Gortat and a good wing defender with Pietrus. Like Carter, J-Rich is also on the last year of his contract and would have split next year since the Suns seem to be headed towards rebuilding mode with the impending retirement of Nash.
What is Boston's win-loss record since they made the Perkins trade?
9W 6L for a 0.600 record, down from 0.745 which was their record before the trade.
Thanks, Danny!
talo ang Spurs kanina. If the injury of Duncan is severe then Pop just might shut him down for the remainder of the season. 12 games left pa yata for the Lakers and Spurs. Lakers are just 6 games behind the Spurs. Laki ng chance ng Lakers to snatch the lead if all things fall into place for them
But didn't the Celtics play without Perkins most of the time this season? Perkins actually only played 12 games for the Celtics this season, and they went 8-4 (.666) with him in the lineup. They actually played extremely well without him in the lineup for most of the season (NOV-JAN -33-10 - .767).
even with at the start of the trade, imho denver was the winner, they got something for melo, who can walk away after the season :D
-double winner because they got young cheap talents who are coachables
-even though chauncey went away i like how ty lawson is playing
-visible good locker room rapport
its too early to tell... :)
its too early to tell... :)
Peter Burns breaks down all 30 NBA teams in a way most guys can understand
playoffs? nuggets already got the upperhand by not letting melo walk to new york for nothing.
the nuggets also in a great shape to rebuild, they are 25million under the cap this off season and plenty of future picks, and its visible naman that they are playing good basketball Ty Lawsom explained it nga better he said "There's no sticky hands out there,"
new york on the other hand just gave too many players for melo, i know they will come around but gave away too much. they better land cp3 or dwill next year to complete their big 3
on slump ang celtics
talo ulit knicks. ;D
excited lang nuggets....
knicks lost again. wtf is wrong with this team?? >:(
Melo and Billups ;D
CHI @ MIL game today: Rose just solidified his hold on the MVP award - scoring on 6 of CHI's last 8 points, and assisting on the final basket off a steal, to break the game open. Crucial win for CHI in the race for the top seed in the East vs. Miami and Boston.
and d'antoni. ;D
Melo and Billups ;D
4 games difference na lang between LA and SA with 9 games remaining for both (LA won today against NO) including a rematch. They way LA is playing I think they have a huge chance of snatching the best record. As for the Spurs, maybe its a blessing somewhat that the injuries hit them during the regular season and not during the playoffs. Imagine if this happend during the playoffs and they drop 3 games..sayang effort nila for the entire year.

nangyari na ba before top 4 seeds for east and west me at least 50 wins each?
last season.. all 8 teams sa West had at least 50 wins.. yung top 4 naman sa East had at least 50..
Looks like the Spurs are going to drop their fifth in a row, even with their Big 3 back. Thanks, Boston! Now hoping for LA to inch a little closer to the Spurs...
hehehe its amusing and weird at the same time having a Laker fan thank Boston :D
Better hope that the Lakers can also beat the Mavs in a tough 2nd game today for them to stay on track in overtaking the Spurs.
Nice win by the Celts by the way. and its good to at least see JO finally play. Now its just Big Daddy Shaq we are waiting...
But even as a Laker fan, I must say that when Rondo is at the top of his game, it's not going to be easy to beat Boston. He owned the Spurs in the second half.
He he.. Every Spurs' loss going forward will be a plus, regardless of who beats them. But it's still a long shot. The Spurs have the easier sked (HOU, PHX, ATL, SAC, and UTA). They also play the Lakers near the end of the season - could be no bearing by then. :P
Looking forward for the playoffs :)
havent watched the games so muhc and is only getting updates here,
is SHaq injured again? he doesnt seem to complete a season without injury, mukhang after this dapat na talaga syang mag retire pero sana isang hirit pa kung sakaling papasok ulit ang boston sa championship
I'm not sure "resting" Jermaine is such a good idea. He might need to get back into the feel of the game with the Celtics. With Shaq, it's always a good idea to rest those legs from supporting all that weight and use him when it matters most: the playoffs.
Saw the LA-Dallas game on TV. Terry was just being a punk and lucky him Blake didn't go kung fu on his arse. Nice to see Barnes backing up his teammates and taking no sheeeet from anyone, coach included. I think Barnes was asking the assistant coach to let go of him as he was walking towards the LAkers bench but the coach wouldn't let go.
I dunno why Phil sent Gasol in the later part of the game when it was all but over. Pau might've gotten injured coz of that as he got kncoked down for staying inside.
bka naman umiiwas lang spurs sa grizzlies....hirap spurs dito eh...gasol and randolph kasi.. :D
mautak din tong si popo...
Yeah, nice skirmish for a possible second round match-up in the West. Wala pa si Artest niyan!
so the Spurs will hold on to that no. 1 spot after all.. I'm excited about the possible 2nd round match-ups in both East and West.. if the standings now hold and if no upsets happen in the 1st round, it'll be Bulls-Magic, Celtics-Heat, Spurs-Thunder and Lakers-Mavs.. those are tough to call.. homecourt advantage will play a big role as early as the 2nd round..
I believe that a Lakers - Mavs series is more favorable for the Lakers...
nbc

the Dallas downfall may also give way to a 2nd round rematch between LA and OKC..
if dallas gets past the 1st round, they will face the Lakers-Portland winner.
meanwhile winner of OKC-DEN match will face SAS-MEM winner.
kaya ok na yung 2nd seed ng lakers para iwas denver or okc. hehe. hirap sila sa young and fast teams.
but OKC is just a game behind Dallas now.. with Dallas on a slump, OKC has a chance to go up to 3rd.. Dallas has an easier schedule left than OKC but with the way they are playing now, I won't be surprised if they drop to 4th..
tanong lang what's the lowest seeded team ang nanalo ng championship?
Sixth seed Houston Rockets 94-95 season (as per mr google).
yan ba ung andun si olajuwon, horry, drexler?
lupit ni gordon hayward kanina..pinahiya si kobe... :D
^ And Derrick Favors? I think the Jazz also have a pretty solid frontcourt with Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson to build around. Yung backcourt, esp. the SG position, and problema.
BTW, John Stockton's son (David ata pangalan) is now also playing PG for his alma mater, Gonzaga. Kaso marami pang bigas na kakainin 'to.
nilampaso ng bulls ang celtics!
It pains me to admit it, but I don't see this Celtics team beating the Bulls in the playoffs. Doc has no answer to Thibodeau's strategy against the Celtics, and I can't blame him. Thibs knows all the Celtics' plays like the back of his hand. Just look at how he neutralized the Celtics' offense tonight.
On the other hand, I don't see the Bulls beating the Lakers if they meet in the Finals.
so do u see a Lakers vs Bulls Finals?
i'm routing for the Bulls coz they deserve it and i like the Lakers and Phil Jackson to have a shot a threepeat w/c he always accomplish.
miami heat may pinakamalaking tsansa na maksibak sa lakers sa finals.... ;D
kaso problema ng heat un celtics saka bulls....hehe
I'm still hoping for the Celtics to turn on that mythical "switch" like they did last year in the playoffs. I think the Celtics have a better shot than the Bulls in dethroning the Lakers. I just don't think the Lakers are a good matchup for the Bulls because of the Lakers' size advantage - something that the Celtics retooled for in the offseason by adding JO and Shaq.
That said, if the Celtics don't make the Finals, I'm rooting for the Bulls to win it all.
Sa 1st round playoffs magandang match up Miami Heat vs NY Knicks - gandang laban to! ;Dreminiscing the playoff match-up of Alonzo's Heat and Patrick Knicks
Not so sure about that. If the Bulls can't match up with the Lakers in size when they have Noah, Kurt Thomas and Carlos Boozer, what more for the Heat? They have Bosh, Joel Anthony and who else? Laker bigs are going to have a field day on the Heat frontcourt.

kaya pala di pa nalalaro lakers sa kanila...hehehe :D
lalo n pag naglaro p yun udonis...ilgauskas pa..
well you cant really base results ng regular season sa post season. magkaiba ang 7 games series. and that's assuming the heat can reach the finals. hehe.
remember the 09' season. the lakers were swept by the magic in the regular season and yet what happened in the finals.
saka malaki problema ng lakers kay lebron kahit nuong araw pa.... ;Dtoo big ( for kobe ) ,too strong ( for barnes ) ,too fast ( for artest ) and too good ( for walton )..hahahaha ;D
Too big, too strong, too fast and too good...
The truth about Kobe Bryant in crunch time (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/24200/the-truth-about-kobe-bryant-in-crunch-time) (Click the link for that controversial study on that subject)
But never mind that. On more pressing news, what the hell has gone wrong with the Lakers? Now they have the Mavs only a game behind, and Boston and Miami have both caught them in the wins column. LAL now has to win the Finals, and the West Finals, on the road.
saka malaki problema ng lakers kay lebron kahit nuong araw pa.... ;Dtoo big ( for kobe ) ,too strong ( for barnes ) ,too fast ( for artest ) and too good ( for walton )..hahahaha ;D
With Miami the big three has to come up with at least 75 points and up each game to win. When one of the big three has a bad game thats it for them because nobody can take up the slack unlike LA who has a hidden ace in the 15-15-5/per night in Odom. They cant count on Miller, Haslem, Ilgauskas etc. The coaching staff of LA will not let those 3 erupt for 75 and up every game. They will disable just one of the big three and they let the other two try to score the 75 points which is unrealistic in a 7 game series. Bosh will likely be the man that LA will neutralize.
i'm afraid you're wrong in this, sir. the Miami Heat actually only has 30 games with the big three scoring in 75 points or more in a game. so that leaves 40+ games that the Heat big three have not scored 75 points or more.
But how many of these 40 games did the heat win or lose? On the other hand I agree that the bench production of miami, actually the scoring outside the big 3 will determine how far they will go in the playoffs.
i'm afraid you're wrong in this, sir. the Miami Heat actually only has 30 games with the big three scoring in 75 points or more in a game. so that leaves 40+ games that the Heat big three have not scored 75 points or more.
this was done in the regular season. all of these have no bearing when the playoffs are here. iba ang motivation ng lahat ng teams sa playoffs and much more sa finals.
the only thing that would stop LA would be their hunger to win another title...or the lack of it since they have been on the top of the hill twice in a row already and have nothing to prove anymore.
As Bill Russel has said it... if you are a real competitor no matter how many championships you won the hunger will always be there. You can't disagree with guy as he won 11 rings including 8 straight titles.
So if the Lakers are beaten in the playoffs or in the finals I dont think it was for lack of motivation and no longer proving one's self, I dont think this will ever be their mindset not with the MAMBA around.
Kung ako player ng LA the mere fact na I can catch up with the Celt's 18 titles if they win it this year and possibly overtake them as the winningest franchise in NBA history with the next one, is motivation enough for me to win it, kasi if that does not motivate you i honestly don't know what will...
IMHO the Lakers will be beaten IF EVER and that is a big IF EVER hehe because for the simple fact that 1 team played better than themselves in a 7 game series. Yun lang, hindi naman mga Superman lahat yan para sabihin natin na natalo lang sila kasi nawalan na sila ng gana na mag compete at manalo ;).
opinion ko lang naman po yun...
The injury plagued Celtics are due for an early exit.
While this may be a possibility since the Knicks are also a strong team, Boston like the Lakers no matter the odds will still be a strong opponent come play off time, no matter the home court advantage or the team they face.
Just look at last year when everybody wrote them off then the next thing we know they were back in the finals. Though I agree, injury ridden the whole season and possibly the playoffs will have an effect. As a Boston fan through and through I am just trying to enjoy everything that they went through this season and if they suddenly click it again like last year it will be better for us fans if not, then better luck next season.
Honestly, I am enjoying right now the fight for positioning in the West's 2, 3 and 4 seed make the last few days of the regular season still interesting... With today's results Dallas is 56-25, Lakers 55-25 and OKC 55-26. Remaining games Dallas has the Hornets, Lakers will have the Spurs and Kings while OKC has the Bucks.
Anybody know the tie breaker scenario for these teams?
Key to the Celtics resurgence will be RONDO, he has to spear head the attack to get the BIG THREE into the groove if they want to oust the KNICKS in the first round before they get to collide with MIAMI in the 2nd round.
Go BULLS,..!go pacers! hehe.
Go BULLS,..!
If I'm not mistaken, LA enjoys the tiebreaker advantage, whether they end up sharing the same record with DAL and/or OKC. If it's DAL and OKC who will end up tied, it's OKC who will be seeded higher. If LA wants to be seeded second, it's entirely in their hands - they need to win the last two games for 57 wins.
problem kasi kay Rondo hindi madevelop yung outside shooting nya kaya madali bantayan pag nasa labas. you don't have to guard him tightly pag nasa perimeter sya and all you have to do is close down his driving lane. ganito ginawa ng Heat kay Rondo kaya ang baba ng production nya nung game na yun.

this is where the real players get to play, come play off time, it will be a separation of the boys from the men, this would probabaly where Rondo and the rest of the Celts will show up, as for Miami, Lebron Chicken James will just be another good player who chokes come play off, a Cris Webber part 2. I hope to be proven wrong so the playoffs become more exciting.
I hope the Spurs will win their 2 remaining games. I don't want to see the Spurs or even the Bulls winning the homecourt advantage on a "flip of a coin," just in case both teams ends up in a tie ...
Pop is probably thinking Chicago won't reach the Finals anyway. :)
bka nga sa pacers magulat yan bulls eh..hahahaha..lalo na sa magic....matindi si ron jeremy pag playoffs..husay magbalasa ng tao...
if they lose Bynum their chances are slim.
while this may be sweet music to most non-lakers fan including me, i would rather hope he remains healthy for the entire duration of the playoffs.. Para walang excuse LA pag natalo! ;D
I rooted for the Orlando Magic the past 2 seasons but I believe they were on the losing end of the trade that involved Pietrus - a defense oriented swingman who can hit the 3's & Gortat - Dwight's back up at the slot.
J Rich can light up the scoreboards. Hedo's very familiar with Ron Jeremy's rather Van Gundy's system but still, the abovementioned players contribution on the defensive end will be sorely missed come playoff time.
while this may be sweet music to most non-lakers fan including me, i would rather hope he remains healthy for the entire duration of the playoffs.. Para walang excuse LA pag natalo! ;D

Good thing LA avoided Portland in the first round. Tingin ko talaga tagilid dito ang Dallas.
I like the Mavs this year..
Yeah, they should learn to make excuses like the Celtics' invincibility when their starting five was complete. ;D
NBA Playoff Capsule Previews - First Round
c/o the Associated Press
EASTERN CONFERENCE
1. CHICAGO (62-20) vs. 8. INDIANA (37-45)
Season series: Bulls, 3-1. Chicago limited Indiana to an average of 82.7 points while winning the first three meetings before the Pacers earned a 115-108 overtime victory on March 18 in the final matchup. Derrick Rose scored a season-high 42 points in that game and averaged 27 in the series for the Bulls, who had the pairing of Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah together for only their 92-73 rout on Dec. 13.
Storyline: With the best record in the NBA — and their best since Michael Jordan's final season — the Bulls begin the quest for their first championship since Jordan left after winning his sixth in 1998.
Key Matchup I: Luol Deng versus Danny Granger. Deng, whose fine season was overshadowed by Rose's brilliance, scored at least 15 points in all four meetings. Granger had a pair of 19-point outings and scored 22 in another, but the Pacers showed how much they need their leading scorer when they shot just 36 per cent without him in the Dec. 13 loss.
Key Matchup II: Noah versus Roy Hibbert. Noah played only twice this season against Indiana and now will be counted on to continue the Bulls' excellent defensive play against the seven-foot-two Hibbert, who totalled just 10 points in the Pacers' three losses before scoring 15 in their lone victory.
X-Factor: Tyler Hansbrough. Wasn't a part of the rotation for much of the season and played in only one of the first three meetings, then had 29 points and 12 rebounds in Indiana's win.
Prediction: Bulls in 5.
2. MIAMI (58-24) VS. 7. PHILADELPHIA (41-41)
Season series: Heat, 3-0. Miami's Big Three earned its first victory together with a 97-87 win at Philadelphia on Oct. 27, then beat the 76ers twice at home. Dwyane Wade averaged 30.7 points and the Heat held the 76ers to 92 per game.
Storyline: The Heat, who closed the regular season playing at the level that was expected of them when LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Wade in Miami, open with a Philadelphia team that exceeded expectations in Doug Collins' first season as coach but struggled down the stretch.
Key matchup I: James versus Andre Iguodala. Iguodala's defensive skills earned him a starting spot on the U.S. world championship team last summer. He'll have to be at his best against James, who scored only 16 and 20 points in the first two games before going for 32 in Miami's 111-99 victory on March 25.
Key matchup II: Bosh versus Elton Brand. Bosh got better in every game against the 76ers, topped by a 20-point, 10-rebound performance in the final meeting. Brand's resurgence after a couple of forgettable seasons in Philadelphia was a good story and one of the keys to the Sixers' success, but he had no game higher than 12 points against the Heat.
X-factor: Thaddeus Young and Lou Williams. If the 76ers have any advantage in the series, it's when the teams go to their benches. Young was in double figures all three games, while Williams scored 24 as a reserve in the March 25 game.
Prediction: Heat in 4.
3. BOSTON (56-26) VS. 6. NEW YORK (42-40)
Season series: Celtics, 4-0. Boston completed the sweep on the final night of the season, when Amare Stoudemire was the only one of the combined six All-Stars on the teams who played. The Celtics won by four and then two in the first two meetings, then pulled away in the final three minutes of a 96-86 victory on March 21, the only one Carmelo Anthony played in.
Storyline: Like last season, the Celtics hope to prove their late-season struggles were meaningless and start another run to the NBA finals against the Knicks, who are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and believe they are a dangerous underdog in the 14th post-season matchup between the longtime rivals.
Key matchup I: Paul Pierce versus Anthony. The Celtics have long had one of the NBA's best closers in Pierce, who made the tiebreaking jumper with 0.4 seconds left in their 118-116 victory at New York on Dec. 15. Now the Knicks have an answer in Anthony, who has an NBA-high 16 go-ahead field goals in the last 10 seconds since 2003.
Key matchup II: Rajon Rondo versus Chauncey Billups. Rondo's sensational play was the catalyst for the Celtics' run last spring and he must pick it up now after a mediocre finish to this season. Billups has all the experience and clutch ability a team could want, but not enough speed to stay with his much younger counterpart.
X-factor: Toney Douglas. The Knicks are a different team when the streaky backup guard is making three-pointers, and they may have to call on him often to defend Rondo.
Prediction: Celtics in 6.
4. ORLANDO (52-30) vs. 5. ATLANTA (44-38)
Season series: Hawks, 3-1. Atlanta won the last three meetings, doing a solid job on Dwight Howard and limiting the Magic to 79 points per game in its wins. Howard averaged 19.3 points and 14.3 rebounds, but his 43.1 per cent shooting against the Hawks was his worst against any opponent. Joe Johnson, who had a nightmare series when these teams met in last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, bounced back with 19.3 points per game against Orlando this season.
Storyline: Rematch of last season's second-round series, the most lopsided four-game sweep in NBA history. Orlando won by an average of 25.3 points and the Hawks would go on to change coaches, replacing Mike Woodson with Larry Drew.
Key matchup I: Howard versus Al Horford. After shooting 10-of-20 for 27 points in Orlando's Nov. 8 victory, Howard was held below 50 per cent in the last three games, including a 4-for-13 showing in the Atlanta's 85-82 victory on March 30. Horford had only 11 points in that game, but had a pair of 16-point games and scored 24 in another matchup.
Key matchup II: Jameer Nelson versus Kirk Hinrich. Nelson, perhaps Orlando's best clutch player, dominated Mike Bibby in last year's sweep and now hopes to duplicate that against Hinrich, acquired by the Hawks when they dealt Bibby to Washington in February. Nelson, limited to two games against the Hawks this season, scored 20 points and Hinrich managed just five on 2-for-9 shooting in the lone matchup with Hinrich in Atlanta.
X-factor: Josh Smith. The Magic don't have a great option to defend the power forward spot, and the versatile Smith, who averaged 17.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.3 blocks, could be able to take advantage of his matchup.
Prediction: Magic in 6.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
1. SAN ANTONIO (61-21) VS. 8. MEMPHIS (46-36)
Season series: Tied, 2-2. San Antonio won the first two at home, and the Grizzlies won a pair in Memphis in March, averaging 110 points and shooting better than 52 per cent in both. Tim Duncan missed one of those losses and was largely outplayed by Zach Randolph in the other three.
Storyline: Back in the post-season for the first time since 2006 and still seeking their first victory in a playoff game after 12 losses, the Grizzlies start against a Spurs team that could open without all-star Manu Ginobili, who sprained his right elbow in the regular-season finale and is doubtful for the opener.
Key matchup I: Duncan versus Randolph. Randolph had four 20-point, 10-rebound games, including a 24-21 game in the Spurs' Dec. 18 victory. Duncan's stats have been down in recent years and he didn't score more than 13 against Memphis, but remains one of the top defenders at his position and should be more of a factor offensively playing more minutes in the post-season.
Key matchup II: Tony Parker versus Mike Conley. In his best season in the NBA, Conley averaged 15.5 points against the Spurs. He now faces one of the few players who can match his quickness in Parker, who had a 37-point outing against Memphis and likely will be looking to score as long as Ginobili is out.
X-factor: Tony Allen. Has brought solid defensive play and post-season experience from his years in Boston, and has been a scorer against the Spurs. He scored 20 in both Memphis wins, and he's likely the best option to defend Ginobili.
Prediction: Spurs in 6.
2. L.A. LAKERS (57-25) VS. 7. NEW ORLEANS (46-36)
Season series: Lakers, 4-0. Los Angeles posted three double-digit victories, the Hornets never cracked 100 points, and Chris Paul admitted "this is not a team we match up with good this year" after the final and most lopsided meeting, the Lakers' 102-84 victory on March 27. Kobe Bryant had a pair of 30-point games and averaged 26.8.
Storyline: Seeking a third straight NBA title, the Lakers open against the Hornets, whose surprisingly strong season was ruined when power forward David West was lost with a torn knee ligament.
Key matchup I: Pau Gasol versus Carl Landry. Landry's solid play helped the Hornets hold on to a playoff spot after West went down, and he scored 24 points against the Lakers in the most recent meeting. But Gasol was dominant this season against New Orleans, averaging 22.3 points and 12.8 rebounds, and shooting 70.5 per cent from the field.
Key matchup II: Derek Fisher versus Chris Paul. Fisher had paltry numbers against the Hornets, but the Lakers know they can count on him in the post-season. His role here is defence against Paul, who probably has to be at his sensational best with West out to give the Hornets a chance.
X-factor: Emeka Okafor. In his first post-season, he has to not only defend against the Lakers' depth inside but find a way to provide some offence as well.
Prediction: Lakers in 4.
3. DALLAS (57-25) VS. 6. PORTLAND (48-34)
Season series: Tied, 2-2. Dallas won the first two meetings, and Portland took the last two at home later in the season after acquiring Gerald Wallace. Dallas guard Jason Kidd had a combined one point in the Mavericks' losses, missing all six shots in a scoreless outing on April 3.
Storyline: Following two straight first-round eliminations, the Blazers seem to be considered the trendy underdog pick this year, even though Dallas won its final four games to tie for the second-best record in the Western Conference.
Key matchup I: Dirk Nowitzki versus LaMarcus Aldridge. The Mavs won on Jan. 4 at home against Portland without their all-star forward, who faces an opponent who also enjoys popularity in Dallas. Aldridge is a native of the city who played at Texas and had a pair of 30-point outings against his hometown team.
Key matchup II: Tyson Chandler versus Marcus Camby. Neither will be counted on for his offence, but they are two of the top rim protectors in the league, and their defense will be key in a series that doesn't figure to be high scoring.
X-factor: Rodrigue Beaubois. Both Kidd and Jason Terry had their struggles against Portland's tough defence, and if that continues the Mavs will need a big contribution from Beaubois, who averaged 17 points in his two appearances against the Blazers.
Prediction: Trail Blazers in 6.
4. OKLAHOMA CITY (55-27) VS. 5 DENVER (50-32)
Season series: Thunder, 3-1. Oklahoma City won the season series with a pair of victories in April, including a 101-94 win on April 5 that was Kevin Durant's first in Denver. The NBA's leading scorer averaged 31.5 points in the series.
Storyline: The Thunder are considered one of the top challengers to the Lakers in the Western Conference, but draw a dangerous first-round opponent in the Nuggets, who went 18-7 after trading Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks in February.
Key Matchup I: Russell Westbrook versus Ty Lawson and Raymond Felton. The Nuggets have a solid duo to play against Oklahoma's All-Star point guard, but Lawson, perhaps a better option because of his speed, sprained his left ankle in the season finale.
Key Matchup II: Kendrick Perkins versus Nene. Perkins, acquired from Boston to bring some interior defense and toughness, exchanged some words and shoves with Nene in the last two meetings. The Brazilian centre had only seven points on 3-of-10 shooting in the April 5 game, a poor outing for the NBA's leading shooter.
X-Factor: James Harden. Must provide the third scoring option behind Durant and Westbrook, especially because the Thunder bench could have difficulties matching the deeper Nuggets one.
Prediction: Thunder in 7.
I sorta remember the last meaningful game between the Sacramento and the LAkers went into overtime as well. Game 7 of the WCF when C-Webb, Bibby, Christie, Divac, Turkoglu and the rest pushed the defending champs to the limit before crumbling in OT. Can't wait for the playoffs!i think i still remember this, its the shaq-kobe era right? and the kings have peja in their roster, but im not sure.
portland can really upset the mavs, spurs have a tough matchup also with the grizzlies, kelan start ng playoffs?
Teka, kelan ba start ng playoffs pinas sched? Sunday ba or monday? Meron na bang sched sa BTV and/or studio23?
extremely looking for the NYK vs BOSTON series.
i can sense an upset here.
no matter how much the knicks scores still no D...
portland lang nakikita kong may chance na upset
Here's the PH broadcast schedule from the NBA website:
http://www.nba.com/schedules/international_nba_tv_schedule.html?RID=26&cName=Philippines
There's an early 1 AM broadcast on BTV tomorrow for Game 1 of CHI vs. IND. Then Studio 23 will air Game 1 of ORL vs. ATL at 7 AM. Wondering why the MIA-PHI Game 1 is not going to be aired, even on NBA Premium. ???
Eto ang okay - Game 1 of NYK at BOS on Monday, 7 AM, Studio 23.
i just feel they'll outrun and outgun the Celtics to the ground.
in as much as Mike NO D'Antoni is there the knicks is not the run and gun, 6 secs or less team like the PHX before, Chauncey likes to slow things a bit, tapos sticky hands melo pa, pero malay natin iba atmosphere sa playoffs
no offense to celtics fans, but I think the player they'll miss this playoffs is Tony Allen.. Melo and Amare will be too much for them..
Howard tallied 46 points and 19 rebounds...but they still lose to Atlanta.
biglang parang hindi number 1 seed ang pinakita ng bulls kanina...
un heat din...patawa din..
buti p un mavs..pumukpok talaga...
un hawk-magic..anlalaki nun hawks..
i have always expected this, its playoff time and le bron james is only good during regular games.
Game 1 proves Wade -- not LeBron -- is Heat's go-to guy
Posted Apr 16 2011 9:33PM
MIAMI -- A game in which the Sixers missed a chance to stun the Heat told us where this playoff series is headed, not to mention the basketball.
The not-so-big secret is out, and even if Dwyane Wade is laying bricks and handcuffed by fouls and checked by a human octopus, as was the case in Game 1, he's still a safer option than LeBron James with the game on the line. Erik Spoelstra made the "decision" if you will, and it was co-signed by the coach on the other bench.
"Wade was going to have the ball," Sixers coach Doug Collins said. "We had planned on that. When Miami took off this year is when they put the ball in Wade's hands. So we were going to have our best on-ball defender on him."
Imagine, a coach taking Andre Iguodala, who's long and quick, from guarding the winner of the last two MVP awards and assigning him to a guy who was 5-for-12 shooting Saturday and couldn't drive to the basket for fear of fouling out. Have you ever seen that happen before in the NBA? Well, Collins knew. The Sixers knew. Everybody knew. Wade was going to take matters, and the ball, in his own hands with two minutes left and the Heat up one point in the biggest game of the year.
And he delivered, isolating on Iguodala from the key, then floating to the lane after getting a pick, then dropping a running bank shot for a three-point play. He also added three more free throws in the final ticks to give Miami a 97-89 win over the pesky Sixers.
You can say Spoelstra did this because he has great faith in Wade, and that much is true.
But feel free to suspect Spoelstra had also seen enough of LeBron in that situation. Didn't LeBron own the ball a half-dozen times this season, game up for grabs, and blow them all? Either with missed shots, turnovers or getting swatted by Amar'e Stoudemire? In a playoff game, where there's no room for error, where the Heat blew a 13-point fourth-quarter lead, was LeBron too much of a risk? Wasn't it time for Miami to lean on a player with a history of clutchness, most famously in the 2006 NBA Finals?
If the Heat are falling from the sky and there's two parachute cords, one belonging to Wade and the other LeBron, which one is Spoelstra gonna pull to save his life, er, season?
I think we know.
Spoelstra wasn't having any of it after the game, getting huffy at the insinuation that this, when all's said and done, is Wade's team.
"That's so overstated," Spoelstra said dismissively. "The game will dictate (where the ball goes). That's just the way it turned out tonight."
Well, if that's the case, then we should expect Spoelstra to draw up a play for LeBron either later this series, if the Sixers ever get this close again, or the next, against a great defensive team like the Celtics. Or down the road against the Bulls. We should see the same faith shown to LeBron, and how about late in the fourth quarter of a Game 7? You know, as Spoelstra said, if the game dictates it?
What Spoelstra did was make a wise choice. There's no harm in admitting the obvious, that Wade is championship-tested in that situation. That's not to say LeBron can't make big shots; people tend to forget he made a few in Cleveland. It's just that the Cavaliers didn't have a better option. Miami does.
Spoelstra should've done exactly what he did: Let Wade isolate on his man, then break down the defense either off the dribble or freed by a screen, then allow Wade to either take the shot or pass to LeBron. Or Chris Bosh, who scored 25 points against the Sixers. That's it. Very simple, very reliable, and even if it's somewhat predictable, dare the other team to stop it.
Of course, there's some risk to hurting LeBron's feelings, although that's probably not too much of a gamble. LeBron came to Miami to be Wade's teammate. If Spoelstra asked LeBron to yield to Joel Anthony, OK, there might be a problem. But this is D-Wade, greatly respected by LeBron. This is a guy who has one more championship ring than LeBron. It's cool. And if it isn't, then that's LeBron's problem. Not Spoelstra's. Not Wade's.
As it turned out, the two main principals were fine with it.
"We can feature either guy at that moment," said Wade, ever the diplomat. "I was able to get to the basket. These guys have looked at me for big shots."
Wade laughed. "Most of the time I got the ball, I got it from LeBron."
So there. Even LeBron, through his actions, endorsed the gameplan.
"Hey," said Wade. "It's all about getting a win."
Yes. That's what matters. That's why LeBron came to Miami, not for the ego-gratifying role as a designated go-to guy, but to win a championship, something he lacks, something to help validate him as a winner. What's wrong with having someone to show him the way?
What LeBron needs is help in the final tense minutes of a close game. Not the ball.
sayang, talo NEW YORK
sayang, talo NEW YORK
sayang, talo NEW YORK
Whew that was close. Boston 1-0 against Knicks, 87-85 on a 3 by Allen with 11.6 seconds. As expected this was a real barn burner.... This is a long ways to go but I am glad we got game 1.
now the boys are being separated forn the men, although i just realized the NYK is a different team now, they are no push overs.
one thing working good in favor of the Celts though, Stadoumire, Anthony to me are both chokers, when the going gets tough, they are just not there
I think your using the word "choke" much too lightly. Losing a very tough game against a top seeded team in the playoffs or missing a very difficult game winning shot doesn't exactly constitute a choke.
Rod, Lakers tayo ah hehemahilig ako kasi sa DEHADO ;D ;D
nayari knicks nung wala na silang timeout on that last possesion. bad call by D'Antoni
Pero buti na lang kse boston ako e, hehe! Pero hirap na hirap Boston. Paano na kaya yan pag Heat and Bulls!
Melo and Amare aren't exactly chokers. Amare has proved that he can play at high level come playoff time in the West and while Melo has some history of disappointing play at the playoffs, he's not exactly bad at crunch time. To put Melo's crunch time abilities in perspective, I'm reposting this:
Trailing by one or two points, or tied, in the final 24 seconds of regular-season and playoff games since 1996-97, with a minimum of 30 shots.
Carmelo Anthony 21 44 47.7%
Kobe Bryant 36 115 31.3%
Entire league 2038 6861 29.7%
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/24200/the-truth-about-kobe-bryant-in-crunch-time
I think your using the word "choke" much too lightly. An example of a choke is Nick Anderson missing 4 straight free throws 1995 NBA finals or the Yankees losing a 7 game series to the Red Sox when they're already leading it 3-0. Losing a very tough game against a top seeded team in the playoffs or missing a very difficult game winning shot doesn't exactly constitute a choke.
I agree on this 100%. I maybe a Boston fan but NY is a tough team also, especially with Amare, Melo and Big Shot there. I expected this to be this close, but I am confident the Celtics will still pull through because of their expirience and late game execution in offense and defense. I just hope they play better when the series tranfers to NY cause in my opinion the Celts and Dallas have the best opponents in the 1st round but this will serve them some good when they advance as they will be tested early and will be on focus the whole playoffs.
Looks like the teams we expected to easily beat their opponents in game 1 like the Lakers and the Spurs got the shocks they needed to play better in game 2 and take their opponents seriously.
While the teams that we expected to have though games like Boston and OKC got away with the wins although it was though. Big game by the way for Durantulla and R. Westbrook.
guess liking a player and not liking them applies in my comment, honestly my opinion really, i have never been fond at how amare and anthony plays and their what i opine as lack of grit and toughness in defense and ability to lead their respective teams before to greatness, again my opinion.
tama ka dito sir, until they prove otherwise pero sana wag na muna this year hehe... Shaq will be ok and will always be a plus to any team beacuse of his size and heft... the only problem right now is we need him to be available to play... good thing JO had a good game to let the C's have an inside presence in both offense and defense. dun nga sa isang article sa yahoo, they compared the impact of JO to the impact of Perk in today's games and it was seen na mas malaki ang impact ni JO... lalo na yan pag naging available na si Shaq if ever...
Re: Hibbert - Nasaan ang offensive foul, ref?
Go BULLS,..! ;)
2-0 na ang miami
2-0 na rin ang bulls ;D
so what will happen here, if they both win their respective series, they will meet afterwards or they will only meet in the Eastern Finals?
while I have openly shared that i really do not like LBJ in all aspect, i would like to see this series, this will etablish two things in my perspective, if DROSE has already arrived and already is capable of leading his team all the way, or will LBJ finally prove a lot of people wrong including me about his capabilites in leading his tyeam to greater glory
Brad Pip,
The winner of the Bulls-Pacers series will meet the winner of the Magic-Hawks while on the other side it will be the winner of the Celtics-Knicks against the Heat-Sixers winner. So both the Heat and Bulls have to win their first and second round series before they face off in the Eastern Conference Finals.
thanks for clarifying sir ;)
so the Heat would have the toughest task i would supposed as they have to go beyond the Celts or the Knicks for that matter to get to the finals
damn. knicks lost because of a bad last play.
the Knicks organization should realize that No D'Antoni is not really that good a coach as most people think he is. If they're wise enough they should grab Rick Adelman as their coach next year.doc rivers is available next season :D if there's a season
Game 3 of BOS-NYK will be aired live on ESPN on Saturday. Then Game 4 on ABS-CBN/Studio 23 on Monday, pero delayed. Buti pa ang series na 'to, lahat ng games pinapalabas at hindi limited sa NBA Premium.
yup, I believe they can go to the finals!!! :D GO HEAT!!! ;)+1
yehey. 96-93. boston 2-0.
^ Yeah. Gotta give credit to Doc Rivers and Boston's defense on Anthony in the final two minutes. D'Antoni should have seen that coming. But nice try by the Knicks, given the constraints. They have to hope that Amare and/or Billups will be ready on Saturday. Carmelo can't keep playing like this all the time.
the Celtics are good and LUCKY for two games in a row.
Manu is truly the Spurs' MVP, this season ... Go Spurs Go!!!
Game 3 of BOS-NYK will be aired live on ESPN on Saturday. Then Game 4 on ABS-CBN/Studio 23 on Monday, pero delayed. Buti pa ang series na 'to, lahat ng games pinapalabas at hindi limited sa NBA Premium.
Go Pacers Go, Beat the Bulls ... Go Sixers Go, Beat the Heat ... Go Blazers Go, Beat the Mavs ...
the Knicks organization should realize that No D'Antoni is not really that good a coach as most people think he is. If they're wise enough they should grab Rick Adelman as their coach next year.
Too bad, the Pacers lost again, in crunch time ...The past playoffs seasons had been a good learning experience for Rose. Their epic battles with Boston had given him the confidence to take over games during crunch time.
Jerry Sloan is another good option.
Rose does it again! pang mvp talaga hehehehe....
The C's, and not Derrick Rose, will be representing the East - in the NBA Finals ...
yeah with a crappy sixers. hehe. they're going home in the 2nd round.
The C's are going down and they're going down hard ;D
don't count out Miami just yet. specially with the way Miami is playing right now.
howards "elbow" started it, then "headpunch" nung atlanta player then richardson slapped him
ano kaya sanction kay howard?
heavy fines lng dapat coz suspensions will have an effect on this series.
For this to happen Miami needs LeBron and Wade to outplay Pierce and Allen big time ... because if they just cancel each other out or even just keep it close... Boston has the upperhand in the other 3 positions and the bench....
If they don't... yes the Celts will be going down hard... going down hard on Miami ;)
Buti hindi tinuluyan ng solid head-butt ni Pachulia si Richardson. Malaki ang pang-head butt nito. :)
Looking forward to a classic series between Miami and Boston... There's some bad blood here... Agree with the comment above - for me, containing Rondo is the key to putting away the Celtics. Maybe Wade will get the assignment. They can't do it with Bibby, Chalmers or House. Sila na lang ang mag-habol kay Allen.
Time out muna. OT, check out ESPN's "Best-paid athletes in 30 sports". Manny Pacquiao and A-Rod toping the list. Surprising that Kimi is up there as well despite being sacked by ferrari and not racing in 2011. Kobe naman #1 in basketball.

actually, it was Bibby and Chalmers who contained Rondo in their win against the C's. kaya hopefully they can do the same and also with the same results. Wade played good defense against Allen as well sticking to Allen and giving him no room to shoot.
its gonna be a classic series between Miami and Boston. Lets see if Lebron still chokes when the game/series is on the line.
GO BULLS,..!
Queen James will throw bricks and just give up against the C's, just like last season's playoff ... Mga batong pamatay butiki ...
kargahan na: MIAMI vs BOSTON
;D ;D
Wooh ;D !!! What a comeback by the Blazers led by Brandon Roy.
SAS lost again to MEM. 91-88 :o
Grizzlies now leads 2-1.
The old and ageing frontline of the Spurs simply cant match Z-Bo and MGasol. SA is 2 losses away from history.
Jefferson - 4 points for 1 of 4 shooting and he played 36 minutes of Basketball? What the heck did he do the entire game aside from running up and down the court? the guy inked a 39 million dollar/4 years contract with the Spurs just recently. They only had regret ever since that guy joined SA.
kawawa celtics dito sa heat... :D
Orlando lost again. ::) 88-85 :P
Boston is the first to qualify for the 2nd round as they sweep the Knicks..... Bring on the Heat
Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni, while saying Rondo is a “very good basketball player,” seems to feel his success is due more to the players around him. “I’d like to see him play on Minnesota and see how he does,” D’Antoni said before the game. “Everybody’s tied together and they have three Hall of Famers out there.”
I am sure D Antoni was saying I'd like to see him play for me after Rondo demolished his Knicks defense or lack of thereof... This is an insult not only for Rondo and Celtics but for the Minnesota organization as well...
Now the NY coach is on vacation and gone fishing hehehe...
Looks like the possibility of Howard bolting out of the Magic next season looms if the Magic get booted off, he is getting frustrated time and again with the inability of his team to win at the playoffs even with him providing monster numbers....
For Knicks, at least they made the playoffs after ilang years din.. la pang chemistry, maybe next year for Melo and Amare,..
kawawa celtics dito sa heat... :D
nagkaroon na rin ako ng kakampi ;D hahaha
sour graping hehehehehe
a coach who has never been an advocate of defense got two star players who only wanted to shoot and not slug it out when the going gets tough, what can we expect.
No matter how good the players around you are, if you dont know how to orchestrate well, nothing is going to happen, rondo surely is blessed with very good players around him, but the greatness of these palyers are even more highlighted becasue of the way rondo plays at PG and how the coach leads his team, too bad this is only a dream for d antoni.
Boston is the first to qualify for the 2nd round as they sweep the Knicks..... Bring on the Heatit's as if he is saying,"hey rondo,i wish you are playing with minnesota,then we could've a chance against the celtics" ;D

sweep!
heat vs celtics... i'd say celtics will prevail, boston is just well coached, plus when the shooters are on target they are tough to beat.
gusto ata ng miami sa homecourt nila manalo ;D

hornets leads 90-86. last 9 sec. :D great shot from jack! ;)

Hornets ties series, 2-2 behind a monster game by CP3, 27-13-15 triple double and that fadeaway shot by jarrett jack ( who he? hahaha ).
I hope players from NY are watching.... this is how you win with heart.... They should get a page out of the NOLA and Memphis playbook on knowing how to win. Damn even the lowly 76ers who seem to be lost in the playoffs got a win in their homecourt.... :-[

Don't forget the Pacers ...
hornets needed a GREAT game by CP3 to beat the lakers, can CP3 sustain his all around game? yan ang difference with Rondo, Rajon can have a bad offensive game but can be a factor int he game.

If CP3 has a normal NBA type of game then NO has no chance at all in beating the Lakers. He has to have ridiculous numbers in order for them to win. The two wins that they had was a showcase of his talent.
NY should beg, borrow or steal the money in order to pry away CP3. a LOT of other teams are watching him right now salivating at the fact of adding him to their 2011-2012 roster.

As if CP3 is saying... Look what I can do with this team... Imagine what I can do with yours....

yup I think D'Antoni would be sacked.....together with Van Gundy if Orlando does not recover.
si adelman bagay sa knicks..
any coach who can teach amare and melo to play defense would be a good fit.

And in fairness to Antoni, aside from having a lineup that looks good on paper(and the NY media hype), they weren't exactly expected to win against the Celts.
*I don't recall any recent team who had any postseason success after such a drastic midseason change in their lineup.
He's pretty good when he's motivated.
Yes this may be true but they were expected to compete and least win some games and not get swept
Can you recall a team named Lakers when they got Gasol in a mid season trade, they did fine...
You actually mentioned what the probelm is... how do you motivate that kind of a player... motivation for great players comes from within.... the mere fact your staring at elimination at your own floor should motivate you enough... if you watched the game when the Celtics were leading already by more than 10 you can see na tamad na tamad siya pero nung umpisa saka nung humahabol na sila ang tikas....
You are saying about injuries, NOLA is without their 2nd best player in west, their front courtis also not that deep and CP3 has a thumb injury and had stitches and yet they are competing with the champ Lakers and tied the series...
IMHO, you want to know how bad the Knicks competed in the series... I am a hard core celtics fan and even me nabwiset beacuse we swept the series... imagine... ???
Yes this may be true but they were expected to compete and least win some games and not get sweptYeah, they showed a disappointing lack of heart. But I probably was the only one who felt that they weren't gonna do very well in the series in the 1st place. When Billups went down I wasn't expecting them to do any better.
Can you recall a team named Lakers when they got Gasol in a mid season trade, they did fine...I was talking about a major lineup change. The Knicks traded 3 rotation players (4 if you count Timofey) in the midseason as compared to the Lakers who was gifted a superstar for a scrub who was barely cracking the rotation until Bynum got injured.

why dont dont amare, lebron and anthony consider joinning the same team next year, if they win the championship, then the long standing cliche of Defense winning championship will finally be proven wrong.
kung si nash kaya pg ng knicks...
come on enough with the lebron hate. yes, I'm a Heat fan but more because of Wade (actually a long time Heat fan since the era of Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Dan Majerle). actually, i too don't like lebron that much but he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in this statement since he actually is a very good defensive player. he may be a choker but a bad defender he isn't. far from it.
Miami na mag-chachampion this year! Nuff said! ;D
IMO, you never lower your expectations on your opponents whether in basketball or in other facets of life, its what keeps you striving to excel. And as great players would say its more natural to feel a bit nervous because that just means you are still alive and you care about accomplishing your goals. I am sure, every single true fan of any team whether they admit it or not feels the same... because if not you are not a real fan of the team just a fan of winning... just my opinion po...As a long time Warriors fan, I'd say that lowering one's expectations is essential to my fandom(and life).:D It's the difference between being idealistic and realistic. I love them with all my heart but it doesn't mean that I'm not critical of them or want them to strive to excel. I just have realistic expectations that's all. I don't expect them to win the championship next year (although I want them too). See, I'm being realistic as opposed to idealistic about it.
Abay wag Nuff said sir hitman... kasi baka i close ni mods itong thread kasi wala na tayo masabi hehe.
Even as I am a Boston fan I know Miami is going to be tough with Wade and Lebron there, but as a basketball fan I am delighted that this match up will take place because i know it will be a very good series.

Not a true fan and only a fan of winning? I've stuck by the Warriors throughout their decade+ long bout of incompetence and bad luck. I've seen them draft Todd Fuller over Bryant just because they wanted a clean cut white guy after the Sprewell choking incident. I've seen them end up with the 3rd pick after tanking their last season and ending up with Dunleavy instead of Yao of Jay Williams(who?). I've seen management not having enough cap space to re-sign Arenas the year he broke out just because they were overpaying the likes of Fortson, Foyle and Dampier. I've seem and cheered for them live when I lived in the Bay Area for Chrissakes. And somehow I'm still not a true fan only a fan of winning?
Oooh Warriors, I always remember the Webber days, used to have his Jersey.. I enjoy watching their 2 guards now, I think they have improved a lot this year.. a playoffs dark horse next year..Medyo bata pa ata ko nung C-Webb era. Around that time, maka-Shawn Kemp pa ata ako. :D Late 90's na ata ako nagsimulang maging fan ng Warriors.

Sir, i think you got my post wrong, i said you do not lower your expectations on your opponents.... not at your own team of course since lahat naman ng team natin dumaan sa bad seasons so its right to be realistic about them and their chances, i alos stuck by Boston during their low years so I know the feeling... opponents po sinasabi ko.
Plus I never said that my 2nd quoate was about you sir, di ko alam kung bakit mo naisip na this was for you...It was an opinion being a basketball fan and being someone who played competetive basketball also as a whole and not directed towards you. na its ok to be nervous about your team, since you care about them. no matter how much ko basahin yung quote ko I cant find anything in my post that I categorically stated na you were not a true fan. pasensiya na po if ganun ang naging dating sa inyo,,,
Oh okay, I guess I misunderstood you a bit. No harm done, I guess my bi-annual Warriors frustration rant is a bit overdue. ;D
i agree. mas bagay si Adelman sa NY compared kay Jerry Sloan. the Lakers should get Jerry Sloan if it is indeed Phil Jackson's last season.
the Nuggets must be thinking, "C'mon! Just give us one so we're 1 win better than 'Melo." ;D
the Thunder just won't go away..
one has hurrah for the spurs imho, props to the grizzlies though that salary cap busting contract extension for conley is starting to look good.
LBJ and WADE a tough combination. Perhaps thats the reason why Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers has to sacrifice a BIG man in Perkins and trade him for Jeff Green. They know that they have to toughen their 2 - 3 spots after the departure of Tony Allen to the Grizzlies. With Allen and Pierce spear heading those positions to match up with WADE and LBJ, they will have the luxury of Green coming off the bench to fill those spots should any of the 2 starters wear down. They probably figured out that a stable Kevin Garnett, a very aggressive undersized center in Davis, Troy Murphy, Kristic, plus the two OLD O'Neals can already fill up the position vacated by Perkins in this year's campaign.
A playoff team needs 4 wins in a series, to advance to the next level. So, I am still holding to that HOPE, that the Spurs can still make a comeback and win the series. You just don't leave your favorite team, just because they lost some games. Definitely, there are changes needed to made to the roster, at least 3, like Players X, Y and Z, this coming off-season, BUT, now is not the right time to talk about it, I guess.
The Spurs must be really stunned with a lot of mental baggage right now, as they face elimination at the hands (or claws) of the Grizzlies. Wala pa si Rudy Gay niyan. Time for them to focus on the positives: 2 of the 3 games will be on their homecourt, their Game 1 loss at home was a close one without Manu, and a 1-3 deficit is not insurmountable in the history of the NBA playoffs. Gasgas na 'to, pero sabi nga nila, "one game at a time" lang 'yan. If they manage to extend this to a Game 7, tingin ko sila ang mananalo.
kaya pa ng spurs yan...
next game naman home nila...
even the Gasol trade is working wonders now for the Grizzlies.
Memphis is actually better without Gay.. Mas ok yta sa kanila si Tony A.

LAL finally took advantage of their unique strength, their height plus length. 42 rebounds to only 25 by NOH, plus the return of points in the paint.
The Lakers MVP finally showed up, with an efficient 16 points, 8 rebounds and, especially, 3 blocks. He played good D on Landry too, limiting him to 3 of 7. Ola Señor!
Their emotional leader, Kobe, also had a good, efficient game, 19 points on 8 of 13 shooting, in only 28 minutes, plus a couple of poster dunks. He played within the offense too. Good job Mamba!
(I have to admit that the refs made some home-cooked calls too.)
Let's Go Sixers ... Let's Go Spurs ... Let's Go Nuggets ...
i pick Boston over Miami in 6 games.
That was a close one for the Heat. 97-91
It's Celtics vs Heat!!! Take ur pick :D

GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII for THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 95-95 all, last 2.2 sec.. last possession ng MEM. :)
2pts lang?
OT! 97-all
It was more of Danny Ainge knowing they wont pay Perkins in free agency thats why they triggered the trade.
spurs simply wont die... you have to kill them hehe... great 2 shots by manu and neal
even if they lost, for a very young team, memphis did an excellent job in this game.
Whew! Spurs survived elimination. There's a game 6 in Memphis! ;D
tapos na hornets sa game 6...

Question for the movie buffs -- What's that horror movie/franchise where the "bad guy" keeps coming back, even if you thought he was dead/destroyed already?
The Spurs remind me of that.

Boston has the advantage definitely, sa 1 & 5 lamang sila. Miami still has no good center and legit point guard ( well si mike bibby siguro ).

Ok, thanks! I will look for that movie.Iba ata yung movie na tinutukoy mo, sir. Orca ata yun, The one I was referring to is a zombie movie franchise. In the movie, the "bad guy" has the capability of turning people into mindless zombie followers. The zombies follow his every whim because they believe that he is a sort of savior and can provide them the basic zombie necessities. It's a long and complicated movie franchise with countless sequels. I think one of the sequels was even directed by George Romero himself.
That's the one with the killer whale, right?

Go New Orleans!
lamang din boston sa 4, ano naman panama ni posh kay KG. haha.
and the 5? baka wala magawa si joel anthony kay big baby davis. lol.
goodluck on bibby and chalmers guarding rondo, those two are gonna have their hands full.
Free Willy yata yun...hawig sa Willing Willie ;D
bu-bye Orlando!
10-minutes remaining, Lakers by 13! :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D
4 position is a toss coin. 5? come one, davis is just a big lump of lard hehe ;D bibby and chalmers showed us that they can guard rondo with Miami's last game against Boston. in that game Rondo only had 7 points and 5 assisst.
7-minutes remaining, Lakers by 20! :D
Malaki ring bagay yung pag-acquire ng Hawks kay Hinrich.

Malapit na raw bumalik si Shaq kaya ang prediction ko sa Miami-Boston, Boston in 4 games. Before Shaq, I picked Miami in 6. ;D
But seriously, sana umabot ng 7 games yung series tsaka triple OT yung final game. :)
methinks DW12 will stay in orly.. provided that they give him support
KG does so much of the intangibles on offense and specially on defense, he does'nt have to score so much to be effective... but if he does the only coin that is gonna be tossed is a 2 faced coin with both of Garnett's face on it... I dont believe Bosh is a better player than Gasol and Garnett has held his own with him always.... Bosh will be hard pressed to score for Miami to have a chance and give Wade and LBJ help and that does'nt come easy with the length of Garnett shutting you down.
That big lump of lard you are calling has lead the bench attack of Boston through the last 3 years and 2 championship apperances, and I would take Davis over any big man not named Bosh in Miami. Plus you are forgetting the Celts still have the O'neals and Kristic in thier rotation Miami has Anthony and Ilgauskas.
You are talking of 1 game were Rondo had a bad night, what about the 3 other games that they played before that makes the score 3-1 and as far as I know you need 4 wins to advance and not just 1 time.

sa 1 sigurado lamang ang C's. pero sa 5? may somewhat edge Miami dito. Joel Anthony complements the big three very well with his very tight defense. ang advantage ng boston for me is Rondo, the coach and the bench players.
on paper talagang malakas ang heat, but on the court its a diffferent ballgame, its hard to beat a well coached team, a defensive well coached team may i add.
I also think Orlando lacks an effective 3. Seems like Hedo won't cut it anymore. Hedo would be more like a 6th man now. J-Rich probably is enough at the 2 as well as Jameer at the 1.
share the same view.jameer is good.he is a talented pg but i view him as another marbury and iverson type of player (score first pass second type).
any team can afford to have Howard score his usual numbers but he jsut lack support in the three or 4 slots. Nobody out there to slug it out and take away some of the physicality of the game from DH.
Seems like Hedo's game dipped since he bolted out of Orlando the first time
Not sure if my observation is right but is Jameer that good?

I agree pero 3 on 3 lang ang laban :P
or sa nba jam!! lols!
KG>>Bosh, especially this year wherein KG has been mostly healthy. I still think that it's gonna take some super-heroics from LBJ and Wade for the Heat to even have a chance.
Anybody have any news if and when Haslem is coming back?
About D12 staying in Orlando, medyo malabo na. They still have the next year to build around him but their options are severely limited unless they can get some franchise saving players for the MLE or the minimum. And it's highly unlikely that they'll end up with top tier guys like M. Gasol, W. Chandler, Nene or David West unless some team is stupid enough to do a sign and trade. Arenas and Turkoglu's untradeable contracts are going to severely cripple their chances of retaining Howard.
pero if there would be a lockout and a shortened season, this would pave way for a quickie championship possibility for d12. ala spurs
i think there are a lot of Lakers fans. not a lot of reaction today since the game wasn't close. This will be the 1st Lakers vs Mavericks series since 1988.

Hahaha! It would be preposterous to use the last game between the two as basis for the entire series. I think the whole team was in a funk at that time knowing they already won the season series between them.
The 5 position as well as the 1 are definitely the Heats weaknesses. Davis can certainly match up well with any of Miami's bigs if his head is in the game.
getting hedo and arenas is something i cant understand. i dont get to watch too many games anymore but if i cal recall, hedo has his heydays with orlando too then he was traded to another team the following year after his great season with orlando. i dont recall him getting to be that good after that trade and with his new team. arenas was good during his heydays too but has been riddled with injury and when he cam back to the warriors, he has neven been the same yet orlando got him wiht his huge contract. wiht the line up that they have, it could have been a big three as well with jrich, arenas and howard, sometimes it makes me wonder how the team executives strategize on the directions of their team and now with impending departure of howard, im sure orlando will go down deep again.
is going to the team of durant and westbrook and option for howard? must be very good to see them three together.

tsaka bata pa, may potential pang mag-improve ang offensive game.
Wag kang mag-alala bro Waxx. Pwede pang ma-retain yang si D12. Malay mo biglang ma-revive yung career ni Agent 0 next year. Tsaka nandyan pa naman si Daniel Orton. :)
Finger wag = technical in today's NBA.
Kinakabahan na San Antonio. All eyes are focused to their game tomorrow.
Go Memphis!
if i were okc, ill develop ibaka instead... the talent is there.
sure not a superstar like d12
but up in the ranks of bynum, aldridge etc
Is this the guy in the rookie all star and slam dunk? basing on how he moves, i think he has potential and can be a great player too.
Lakers vs. Mavericks in 2nd round.
The key for LAL from this point will be Bynum. I agree with the commentators who said that he was the MVP of the Lakers in round 1. It will be fun to watch him work vs Chandler.
Pau-Dirk will also be an interesting matchup, as will Marion-Artest. Too bad for Mavs that Butler is out.
Offense will be a wash. But on D, the Lakers play more consistently, now that they've woken up.
brader sya nga!
gwapo pa!! may charisma! pwedeng maging potential all star..
si ibaka ba describe mo? parang ikaw to eh hahahahaha
aba eh palagay ko nga mgandang project player si ibaka, tingin ko the next season should be good and a couple more years, iba na din siguro ang lakas nito.
durant and westbrook were really good rookies when then came in but have been better as the years pass by, it would be possible to get a big three of the new generation, i couldnt recall knowing any team of the new era having two young players who dominate at the early stages of their career like durant and westbrook, add a developed ibaka, thats huge i supposed. but then again OT na ako kase NBA 2012 na yun ;D ;D ;D

My fearless forecast
EAST
CHI vis ATL : Bulls in 6
BOS vs MIA : Miami in 6
WEST
OKC vs MEM : OKC in 6
LA vs DAL : LA in 6
Go Memphis! I'm not a fan of the Grizzlies and I was still hoping for a Game 7 but I can't help applauding for this awesome team. You cannot NOT like Memphis, a huge underdog versus SA before the series. Tremendous young talent in full display led by Zach Randolph. WOW is all I can say. Everybody loves underdogs.
I hate to say it, pero, mukhang shoo-in na ang Lakers sa NBA finals. They seem to have the most favorable matchups in the 1st and second round. And whoever they will face in the conference finals is sure to be worn out by what looks to be a very grueling series. Perkins+Ibaka vs. Gasol+Zach/ Durant vs T.Allen/Battier!
SA needs a lineup tweak. They should trade Jefferson in the offseason for several ballboys and waterboys. he did not do anything in this series.
I'm a Laker fan but I wouldn't say that, shoo-in? Everybody was saying they will sweep NO but it took them 6 games, after losing Game 1! They haven't had a playoff versus Dallas since 1988 so familiarity wise, medyo kakapain pa ni Coach Zen to. And who will they face in the next round? Most likely OKC. Although MEM made me a believer kanina!! Worn out? Remember OKC and MEM are young players, with fresh legs. They have unbelievable stamina. And as I keep saying, OKC is a much talented team and they seem to match up well with the Lakers. Last year, they were the only team that pushed the Lakes to the wall.
He showed vast improvements during the early stages of the regular season then all of a suuden, his game collapsed towards the end of the season and through out the playoffs.
no more NBA games on BTV, blame it on ABS CBN for mixing it up with sports broadcasting, i'm sure tadtad na ng commercials yan.

No Miami/boston game on sky cable?
Pierce ejected >:(
I'm sorry for ever doubting you Zach, I guess it's because I always remember this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh2fn01cngg
Memphis just continues to surpass everyone's expectations. Wouldn't it be great if we had a Hawks vs. Grizzlies finals? :o
nice timing of the grizz to give him an extention he..he...gan
Just game one of the celtics heat series, and remember Miami is expected to hold serve in their 2 home games. Target of the visiting team always is to win at least 1 of the first 2 home games. Even if Miami gets the first 2 they just accomplished what they had to do and let Boston now do their thing in thier home floor. As everyone says the real series starts when somebody wins on the road in the playoffs...
But kudos to the Heat especially Wade and Jones they really torched the C's, Pierce and Rondo struggled so much even though Paul was beginning to get hot before the ejection which i thought were quick triggered much so we are in the playoffs...
re PP34's 2nd technical
just when the Cs were staging another run, the ref was too quick on the draw, those were legitimate screens. and this is the playoffs, the players mouth off and trash talk all the time, it's part of the game! so let em play!
KD just called Randolph "the best power forward in the league." I can't argue against that Can you?
bad trip talaga itong ABS-CBN. Meron bang schedule ng 'super delayed' at 'advertisement tadtad' telecast ang channel23 / abs-cbn???
yes ABS -CBN is to blame for mingling with sports telecasts.
now we cant see the NBA game live for free via BTV

lakers 92 mavs 89 130 remaining in the 4th

mavs ust avoided a mamba dagger at the buzzer!
mavs 96 lakers 94! ;D ;D ;D
Actually, it was a won game for LA. The Mavs didn't win. LA lost the game by themselves.give the mavs credit (at least in this game).LA made mistakes in the endgame but if the mavs did'nt took advantage of that mistakes,they would'nt have won game 1.i am expecting a more focused LA come game 2.
Gasol fouling Dirk when they're up by 1 with 20 secs to go? C'mon. Was that a bad call or what? WTF was Pau thinking?

Busiet talaga yang ABS CBN for not playing live the game 2 Boston Miami. Live streaming na lang ako online.

Boston is playing poorly. Miami galing talaga ng defense nila and si Wade. Miami is a step earlier always and you can see their fire and energy. Boston di na alam ang gagawin laging tentative moves. I heard Pierce spraoned his foot and unable to jump and run well.
I hope Boston could adjust this 2nd half, if not, pack to Boston na lang.
pansin ko lang sa Memphis they have a 16-25 away record but they keep on stealing games from their opponents' home court. ???
Now Doc has no choice but to play Shaq just to have a presence defensively inside....
The steal, down the lane, spin, and the power slam! Rondo rolls on the floor with out a chance on stopping LBJ. Just classic. Lolz!
Miami will go all the way to the championship and win it! Nuff said! :D
Quote from: wacksy1021 on Today at 08:54 AM

Yup no choice. Hopefully Shaq can at least make the Heat hesitate or think twice before darting in the lane. Because right now, Miami is not intimidated by the Celtics' interior defense!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqtS8MyQxxk
(Starting from 2:14 mark)
Except that, even in his prime, Shaq was one of the worst pick-and-roll defenders.
Any revival by Boston should focus on getting Ray and Paul more involved on offense, and being more coordinated on defense (that starts with you, KG).
Miami will go all the way to the championship and win it! Nuff said! :D
Still Shaq is able to make driving opponents second-guess themselves when going to the hoop. If he makes players change their shots even if he didn't block it, then he has done his job. He was very effective during the regular season. Just seeing Shaq in front of you blocking your way to the basket will make you hesitate.
Problem right now is that the Heat are attacking the rim relentlessly.
Limit Miami's big 3 to 60-70 points and the Celts will win. How difficult can that be? ;D
Or if Allen, Pierce, Rondo and Garnett make an additional 10 points among them. That's barely 2.5 points per player. How difficult can that be as well? ;D

For me another thing that they can do to combat this the bench of Boston should outplay decisively their Miami counterparts for them to win.
it pains me knowing the heat is gaining a lot over the celts and while i am very vocal about lbj not being able to deliver when it matters most, im happy to see things are happenning not the way i wanted it.
if by any chance the heat move to the eastern finals, this might probably change the way i view lbj
my thoughts now is that in case the lakers move to the finals, who will be a better opponent, the bulls or the heat, or if we will be using the firts two games of all matches happening now, who will likely be meeting in the finals? or too early to tell for now? im a celts fan but it seems the future looks bleak :(
68-62 dallas leading 3rd qtr
looks like another LA loss
lugi na negosyo w/o LA in the NBA finals
less than 3 min to go dallas up by 13olats na naman lakers ;D
olats na naman lakers ;Dfor sure, + a smack on barea :D
nice right hook by artest to barea's jaw.. ;D
this game is done.. and probably the series.. I'm a Laker fan but they haven't changed their game from the regular season unlike the previous years.. Gasol 's nowhere to be found in these playoffs.. So are Artest and Odom.. there's no help from the bench.. down 0-2 going to your opponents home court is tough.. doable but tough.. and the way LA is playing, I wouldn't get my hopes up..+1

Cheap shot there by Artest! :D
Si Barea kasi pumatay sa kanila.
I'm still hoping for a Celtics-Lakers III finale.. ;D
artest could be suspended for next game... :'( :'( :'(
hehe talo lakers...looks like it will be dallas-heat nga sa finals.yes, if they still play the same level they are into right now.
heat will still win anyway kahit sino pa kalaban from the west.
Last time LA was down 0-2 despite having home court advantage was in 1977 daw vs. POR. Siyempre that ended in their elimination.
Kung di rin lang LA sa Finals, OKC na lang! Ok din MIA-OKC.
We have yet to see LBJ perform in down to the wire finishes.
He was the main go to guy when he was with the Cavs, now he doesnt feel that much pressure with WADE by his side.
The Celtics havent gave the Heat enough challenge in the past 2 games.
The HEAT won convincingly so its up for Boston to regroup in their homecourt and challenge the Heat to play pressure packed games.
geez, konti lang kameng Dallas Fans ah, :).. 2 more wins.. :)

what happenned to gasol? this maybe the worst season for him donning the laker uniform.
Di kaya na mafia to? I mean he's the 2nd laker go to guy next to Kobe.
malabo na yata LAKERS vs BOSTON part 3 >:(
Talo kung talo,...
wala ng dahilan,... ;D
havent had the chance to watch any of the games and i was just thinking LBJ have been carrying the load, so for the two won games, its Wade that is creating damage for the Celts?
Actually it is not the end yet for LA.. if they lose game 3 then that'll be the end of them.. Remember, DAL also led 2-0 in the finals against Miami right? (tama ba ko???)
boston and la need to win the next game. kasi once 3-0 na its over ::)
no team has gone back from a 0-3 deficit to win the championship
not only the championship but no team has come back from a 0-3 deficit and win the series.
at 1-3 deficit ba me nanalo na? sa pba alam ko ginebra ;D
Many more teams have come back from a 2-0 deficit, but that is much more common.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_NBA_teams_that_have_come_back_after_being_down_3-0_in_a_playoff_series
Dallas is also capable of losing a series despite having a 2-0 lead, and they did just that against the Heat in 06.
walang kwenta tlaga lakers... madudumi maglaro mga players...
para namang di mo kilala si artest.
but to say na buong lakers madumi maglaro. lumalabas lang pagka hater mo.

For LA naman, I guess they do not have to adjust or change their strategies. Simple lang, they just have to click that's all. They just have to bring their usual game. Dapat Los Angeles Lakers and maglaro at hindi Laguna Lakers, as in the past 2 games!
for us mavs fans,let's hope it's the 2011 and not the 2006 mavericks who show up for work tomorrow night. :)
di ako naniniwala sa pasindi ng kandila... pero sige na nga...magssindi ako ng kandila para matalo Lakers he he he...

The game seems to be controled by Dallas even though Lakers lead at the half, unless Mamba comes up with another superhuman performance in the 2nd half, this will be over. Bryant again has to will this team if he wants to win, his team mates just seem uninterested in playing well aside from Bynum...
Nonetheless this is a very exiting ball game with great playoff intensity...
Still this is the great Kobe Bryant, Dallas will have to take away this series from him cause i know he definitely won't give this up on a silver platter....
Well you can be as optimistic as you all want but 0-3 ain't looking good ;D
kobe is no MJ!
This is just 1 proof!
Lalu ng hindi babalik sa philjax nito, dahil sa kahihiyan!!!
Indeed bro. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. I was expecting that Kobe will score like 40pts or more and take over this game..quite shock that mavs won..

Di yata ako mahihiya kung ako si PJ. Lots of NBA coaches have been down 0-3 in a series and may have been swept as well.........but not one of them had won 11 rings.

Game 4: Lakers Blow out Dallas on their home court (Dallas gets nervous)
Game 5: Lakers win at home big (Dallas is stung)
Game 6: Lakers take the fight out of Dallas in a close game (Dallas gets desperate)
Game 7 : Lakers outplay Mavs so badly Cuban and the coach get thrown out and the mavericks becomes part of infamy...
Ayos hehehe :o

Just a pity nga lang he will retire having lost even with 11 rings. No one wants to go out losing.
If I may add.....even the great MJ ruined his perfect ending. ;)
Lakers fan since Kareem and Magic and Byron and AC and James...
Lakers fan since Shaq and Kobe...
Lakers fan up to now.
Go Lakers!!! ;D

Indeed bro. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. I was expecting that Kobe will score like 40pts or more and take over this game..quite shock that mavs won..next game i hope kobe scores a lot.better to have kobe score rather than give his other teammates confidence.imagine having gasol,odom,bynum,artest and fischer gaining confidence.very difficult to stop the lakers,they can win four in a row if those guys click.again mavs strategy is let kobe score and defend his other teammates.kobe naman is not like before,you can see that in this series medyo nawawala sya sa mga crucial late stages of the game.sign of old age i guess,he's been a pro since he was 18 years old.so maybe that was a factor
Effective ang paagsindi ko ng kandila hahahasir ingat ka, uso SUNOG ngayon ;D ;D ;D
Kobe from Game 3 post game press conference - "Maybe I'm just nuts or sick in the head, but i still believe we can win this series".
Aint over till its over ;D ;Dme pag asa pa ::) ::)
Aint over till its over ;D ;D
Guys, break na muna sa Lakers.. bugbog na e.. ituloy na lang pag talagang eliminated na.. ;D
Celtics-Heat naman pag-usapan natin..
I hope manalo bukas Celtics kasi Shaq is definitely playing daw e.. ;D
Interesting news tidbit coming out of Orlando:
"Every basket by Bynum is getting the Orlando Magic more and more interested."

pambihira... mukhang makakatsamba ang Celtics a...
Luck had nothing to do with the win, this was pure heart and grit... This just enriches again the Celtic lore...
Still hoping Rondo can play this coming Tuesday, he was running on pure adrenalin today but as the others would say bukas ang sakit niyan... Im 100 percent sure he will want to play, the question is will the doctors allow him to...

come to think of it...3 straight Finals appearences with two Championship rings...not bad at all. too bad they failed on their fourth try but they still have the core of the team locked up for the next two years. kulang lang talaga sila sa motivation this year plus ineffective yung bench nila (Blake, Ratliff, Brown, Barnes etc.) as compared to the previous version (Farmar,Vujacic, Powell, Ariza and a more productive Brown)
Bynum played great this playoffs thus boosting his stock for that inevitable offer that LA will make to acquire Howard. lots of possibilities for LA this off season. They should prioritize a serious upgrade for the PG position since Fisher's mileage is way up there already.
Lakers done... EPIC FAIL... its how they finished the game - SWEEP. from now on... i will always remember Lakers for their SWEEP lost to Dallas....
Bynum??? played great??? or played dirty... tsk tsk tsk... almost killed Barea (smaller guy)... mga player katulad ni bynum hindi na dapat pinapaglaro ang mga ganyang klaseng players... puwedeng ikamatay ni Barea ginawa niya... dapat ban na yan for life sa NBA ni makapasok kahit saang basketball court...walang kwentang player...
2 rings out of a possible 3 attempts isnt failure. its what NBA Team owners dream of. it is called a resounding success.
He's quite remorseless in the post-game interview too, "We were being embarrassed, so I fouled him"
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6509409
Really classy there Bynum, Orlando's gonna want to trade D12 for you now...
So much hate on lakers....wow ;D
its good to see other team representing the west in the NBA finals. sana mavs na,time for jkidd to get a chance for that championship ring,same as with dirk

I wouldn't quite call it a resounding success. When you're paying $91m a year in salaries (plus around 30mil in luxury tax), you'd expect your team to go deeper in the playoffs. They're pretty successful but not resoundingly so.

Would love to see the so-called King James eat dust...
Would love to see any team win this championship, WAG LANG MIAMI,...
Spoiled brats....
Lakers all the way!!!
I'm excited to see what kind of changes will happen to the team.
That act of Bynum is deplorable and has no excuse. >:(
I guess we can now officially call Kobe NUTS.. ;D
Remember his comments coming into Game 4 about taking this series despite being down 0-3. hehehe.. ;D
Hands down, Phil Jackson is one of the best coach there is in the WORLD,...
I would really love to see him come back again...
He will be missed...
I think Odom and Bynum lost their composure but they will come away with it, more mature.
Perhaps the only thing that comes out good for this series.

Talagang si Waxx pag dating sa babes, asahan mo ang comment,... LOL
im already ecstatic with the back to back championships. dun pa lang solb nako. so walang problema kung matalo sila this season. kesa sa iba dyan na banderang kapos. lol.
stagnant na kasi yung lakers, this loss is exciting for me as a fan kung ano gagawin nila sa offseason.
new coaching staff, time to upgrade the PG spot, bench, maybe get an all star or 2 to join the team.
rumor has it that lakers will ditch bryant for griffin. ;D
no way, griffin is a rising star, kobe is a falling one ;D
I hate that attitude,...akala ko detroit circa 1980 yung pinapanood ko kanina dahil sa cheap shots nila odom and bynum
Should have showed great sportsmanship,
mas hahangaan pa sila, yet mas pinili nilang ipakita ang dumi ng laro nila...
What class,..? WA CLASS,...
???
for me i will never get tired of my team winning, kung siguro buhay na ako nung 8 straight championships ng Boston eh abot tenga ngiti ko....
IMHO, a loss is still a loss masakit pa din kasi kung player ka the whole season you invested time and effort for your ultimate goal which is a champioship... at kung fan ka naman, the whole year you have also invested time and effort to cheer your team to victory...
Eventually as we may say, the loss maybe beneficial in the long run, but still you root for your team every year to win it all and it will still be painful to fan no matter the silver lining we may see in the future...
being swept isnt bad at all.is that so?what could be much worse than being swept?with a team consisting of kobe,gasol,odom,artest and fischer plus a great coach in phil jackson?
@dpogs
coming from you, i just cant believe theres so much hate! di ba mas ok magnaninous in victory. as obama said - no need to spike (the ball) at the endline ;D
btw im no laker fan. nor a kobe/pretender to the throne fan.
some of the things that should be on the list for LA:
agenda #1 for them this offseason: get a coach.
agenda # 2: upgrade the PG position
agenda # 3: ship out Artest
agenda # 4: upgrade the bench
agenda # 5: dangle Bynum plus others not named Gasol, Bryant, Odom as trade bait.
Baka anti-dpogs ka? ;D
Come on now, To the remaining teams: Beat the Mavs!

if you love bynum for what he did... go on... i dont mind... i just hate bynum for what he did... ok lang kung isng beses ginawa or unintentional... hindi lang isang beses niya ginawa ang ganoong klaseng kabigat na fould na puwedeng ikamatay ng plyers at intentional niyang ginawa (salbahe tlaga)... to make it worse.. no remorse coming from him (talagang salbahe ang pambihira)...
at the end.. I will remember Lakers as a
- TEAM SWEEP BY DALLAS
- TEAM that got dirty because of humiliation
what an EPIC FAIL...

That's just one playoff series. Dallas has a worse playoff history.
that's the point... Lakers who has the best playoff history has been sweep by the team who has the worse playoff history... EPIC FAIL.

at lalong naging masaya nang ang pagkatalo ng Champion (Lakers) ay na-SWEEP ng isang team na hindi pa nagchampion :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
lalong naging kumpleto ang araw ko nang malaman ko na meron akong 'dpogs hater fans' - si ojofool ha ha ha
medyo kalaban nila yung sarili nila. Medyo overconfidence/complacency at tsaka baka mga problema rin sa tsiks :) Kahit sino sigurong sports expert o mavericks fan wala sigurong nakahula na ganito ang kakalabasan ng series.
what could be much worse? not making the playoffs is one. not having a championship in spite of being in the NBA as a team for the past 30 years is another.LA not making the play offs is not worse,it's disastrous.heck even when jordan left,chicago still went to playoffs.they lost to knicks ata but they are not swept.compare mo naman yung line up nung mga hindi pa nagchampion sa line up and organization ng lakers.the only team na alam ko eh yung utah nung panahon nila malone and stockton.malas lang nila sila jordan nakatapat nila
stages in team formation talaga yan. may adjourning stage after the performing stage. They have already performed well for the past 3 years. You cant just simply expect them to be on top all the time. may reformation palagi yan.
Bye Phil. we're gonna miss you! :'(i read somewhere that he has 13 rings (2 as a player).lupit no?
No one can surpass your 11 rings.

I am not to sure about Andrew BUT I do not want D12 to be in a Lakers uniform. I'd rather have a hardworking Brooke Lopez or the Brazilian player from the Spurs, they will fit the triangle.

wow... this is just pathetic... LOL
I think this quote by Ron Artest best sums up what happened today:
"The Lakers fans have had their hearts broke," said Artest. "And all those people who aren't Lakers fans are now laughing at the Lakers fans."
"We're a no-excuse team," Rondo said. "We show up Monday night and we're out on the court and we're playing. Don't ask me how I feel. I'm going to play regardless. I'm not going to use it as an excuse."

Go Bulls... and Miami....
kahit sino sa inyong dalawa makapasok sa Finals okay lang... wag lang celtics...
down 3-1 na. :-[Miami 98 Celtics 90....Go Heat....one game to go.
dallas vs miami in the finals just looks better and better. ;D
epic fail din ba ang celtics?
at least the Cs played their hearts out...
di lang talaga kaya ng injured brittle bodies nila ang athleticism at youth ng heat.
Paging the resident hater on this thread... Any comment?
buti pa lakers.. kahit baldado... lumalaban ng buong puso at hindi madumi (maliban kay Garnett :)) pero ang lakers... kaput!!!!
Go go go HEAT!!!!
it breaks my heart seeing the celts losing, worst at the hand of the heat but that doesn mean im hating this team or lbj for that matter, i just really dont like the way lbj plsys and does that not even mean i dont find him agreat player, me not liking him does not change the fact he is a great player,
it seems the Heat will be going for greater glory, this is a great chance for LBJ to prove other people wrong including me, either ATL or Bulls would find it hard to beat the Heat, after all, they have players with champioship experience
how does the grizzlies/heat championship look like?

mukhang mahihirapan Miami dito if in case mangyari. it's gonna be like Sixers again but with a bigger and better center and power forward. mahihiriapan big men ng Miami sa defense.
Puro Lakers pala nasa isip at puso mo eh. ::) ;D ;D
There goes the window for championship aspirations by Boston.
whoa! another OT? ;D
galing niyo Sir Anya hehe OT nga... big shot by Conley...
tapos na siguro ung game if not for the two missed free throws ;D
mukhang mag 2nd OT pa ata ;D
Sorry sir, if it appeared like I was alluding to you. I was actually referring to the member who posted a message after you and keeps spewing hate. He has already obliged - sablay nga lang. ;D
3rd OT! hahaha
the sweep in my opinion will not take anything away from the lakers being a great team or PJ being an excellent coach, or kobe being a great player,
the Mavs just came out the better team in that series, this opinion coming from a non laker fan, but i suppose, other epople would disagree
30T...
and OKC wins. great effort by both teams. kinapos ang Grizzlies and Durant took over.
no worries wiggum i know its not for me ;) siguro may mga tao talagang instead of discussing the way the games are turning out to be or how the players are playing would instead post how they hate certain team,ganun siguro talagawalang like button...so if i may add...very well said.
i love the lakers because of shaq before and even if they get booted out this ealry and with a sweep at that, theres no denying they are one of the gretes there is immterial to me of how other people would react to that, losing or winning games is part of it, how you lose or win is part of it, i dont think there can be any other team in this era than can come close to the lakers, its hard to sustain the winning tradition with the way the league has progressed, teams just beefed up significantly one way or the other, things would take its toll on the lakers and it has already.
the mavs sweeping them may be surprising but come to think of it, i couldnt think of any other player hungrier than kidd and dirk, this is their best chance at the ring, peja is no patsy and has always been regarded as one of the deadliest,shawn marion while a journeyman has always been a great offensive player, chandler is one of the best ceters we have nowadays

lets all enjoy the game and discuss evertyhing objectively.
If Miami gets into the finals, I'd still like to see the Lakers as WILD CARD opponent. ;D ;D ;D.
Miami facing any other Western Conference team in the finals is just like Manny vs MOOSEly (as Pacquiao pronounced it) - no chance of getting beaten. ;D ;D ;D
Or to be more mild, it's like Nadal not facing Federer (and vise versa) in a Grand Slam finals.

Lakers can beat MIAMI much better than the MAVs. ;D ;D ;D. That's like Kobe-thinking you know.
Miami vs Mavs..that's like Mannny vs Timothy Bradley (WHO?). I'd rather see Mayweather-Lakers.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
...Thunder vs. Grizzlies: OKC wins in 3OT!?! :o YEAH! May pag-asa pa. Go Thunder Go ...
...Mavs: Beat the Mavs!
EASTERN CONFERENCE
...Heat vs. Celtics: Go C's Go, sana. Kaso, 1-3 na ang C's ... Goodbye, C's?
...Hawks vs. Bulls: Go Hawks Go.
...When the Spurs lost - Thank You, Dice.
...When the Lakers lost - Thank You, Coach Phil Jackson.
...What if the C's lost - It SHOULD BE: Thank You, Shaq. Retire ka na Shaq. Wala na talaga.
Goodbye na ba sa Lakers, Celtics and Spurs? I don't think so ... whether or not they win a Championship next season and/or beyond, I think they will continue to be a part of the Playoffs. I know the teams' management will do well sa arms race this coming off-season.
In with the New? Thunder and Bulls are the only playoff teams ... I think, who will continue their rise for seasons to come ... I'm not going to label the Heat, new ...
matinding pagsindi ng kandila ang kailangan ng mga celtics fan para tumaob ang bangka ng Miami... mahihirapan nang makabangon ang Celtics... halos ibaon na sila ng Miami sa hukay ng pagiging talunan.
go go go Heat...
So you are rooting for this guy too dpogs..?

Cool attitude eh,... ::)
gusto ko miami because of big 3 (Bosh, Lebron and Wade).... paano nila patutunayan na worthy ang pagsasama nilang tatlo... Lakers, Celtics, Spurs... napatunayan na nila na one of the best sila before (but not this season)... so i am rooting for Miami to be the best team of NBA 2011...
is it intentional or not? ngayon ko lang nakita ang video na yan...
noope... im not rooting for LBJ... i just hate (never like) Kobe and the Lakers (seasons of Kobe)
if you want to compare LBJ to Kobe base on their attitude or character... well there is no rumor circulating (even a case) that LBJ rape a girl.
about their athlletic ability.. i believe LBJ is much superior than Kobe... Jordan>LBJ>Kobe...period.

You should have reserved the use of the phrase "EPIC FAIL(ure)" until you see the championship ring on LBJ's finger this year. ;)

I agree sir... this is what i have always said... If you lose you just admit na you got outplayed by better and /or hungrier team...
there is a difference between critique and just mere bashing... the lakers no matter what are still and will remain 1 of the most respected franchises.... and Kobe and PJ one of the best things that happened to the sport.
I agree that the 2 fouls on Odom and Bynum were uncalled for and they deserve what ever the league penalizes them with... But if you played this game you know that this is a very contact sport and sometimes you just have to let it go and keep playing just like what the Mavs did...
As Willie Miller said: Kung ayaw mo masaktan maglaro ka nalang ng chess hehehe
We all, have our favorites, teams and players but by discussing objectively on how the game went or was played shows we do not only like the game but we respect it as well...
Go MIA! ;D they will close out the series this thurs. ;D
totoo bang half pinoy ung coach ng heat?
YES! from wikipedia-
Erik Spoelstra (born November 1, 1970 in Evanston, Illinois) is an American professional basketball coach and the current head coach of the National Basketball Association's Miami Heat. He is the first Filipino-American head coach in the NBA,[1] as well as the first Filipino-American head coach of any North American professional sports team. From 2001 to 2008, he served as assistant coach/director of scouting for the team.[2][3] He coached the Heat to 90 wins and two playoff appearances in his first two years as coach.
[edit] Personal life
He is the son of Irish-Dutch Jon Spoelstra, who was an NBA executive for the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets, Buffalo Braves and New Jersey Nets.[2] His mother, Elisa Celino, is from San Pablo, Laguna in the Philippines.[4][5]
[edit] Early life
As for Kobe Bryant, again because of his stature, you can't help but compare again to Jordan. It's unfair really but people will again compare -- Jordan had a threepeat. Twice. Jordan never got swept in the playoffs. Coach Phil never got swept with the Bulls. Etcetera etcetera. Kobe has to live with that because he's, well, Kobe!
And about that "Dong Polistico (or Dante Gonzalgo)" moves by Bynum and by Ron Artest, those are uncalled for really. Those were meant to hurt and not to defend. Basketball to hindi naman WWE, hello! Yes basketball is a contact sport but wala naman cheap shots please. Pasalamat si Artest at si Bynum wala sila sa PBA nung panahon nila Onchie, Gonzalgo at Jawo. Kung hindi, tapos ang career nila agad. But gone are those bloody days ( nakakamiss din noh? ). Oh, btw hindi si Willie Miller ang original na nagsabi nung "kung ayaw mong masaktan mag chess ka na lang". Si Jaworski yun. And si Jawo simpleng tumira yun. Bigla na lang gugulong si Barea nang di nya alam kung bakit. Sa replay mo na lang makikita. Unlike Bynum, huling huling naman talaga.
As for objective discussions only, I guess this is an open thread naman. You can get emotional and say what you want. Talagang ganyan, nadadala tayo ng emosyon lalo sa basketball. Pwede naman yan. Kasama ang kantiyawan. Asaran. Unless ipagbawal ng mods. The other NBA threads are far worse, personalan talaga dun.
supportahan na ang heat ;D
kobe's chance to equal mj's 6 went down the drain in an epic way. deba dpogs!
si jawo nga unconscious nung nasahod (ni tembong?M) meralco vs. yutivo
ang dumi ng micaa at pba noon. dura sahod "pitik" sa yagbadoodles etc, kaya tough si jawo. mga teams may kanya-kanyang enforcers - distrito etal.
__
ganda ng mga laban kanina. bc gutsy stand, but lbj dw and bosh's tip-in too much for them in the end.
okc kd took over sa 3rd ot.
Kapag nagchampion ang HEat hindi lang mapapatunayan ng tatlo na hindi sila malaking kasinungalingan... kungdi dito malalaman ang husay at kung paano dinala ng head coach - our very own Erik - ang Heat na kung tutuusin sobrang napakabigat na responsibility... paano niya napasunod ang walang respetong si Lebron James... paano niya balasahin ang talento ng big 3... not only that... hindi lang pala tayo pangboksing... pang basketbol pa...

walang like button...so if i may add...very well said.
if Lakers cannot beat Dallas sa playoffs... they can never beat Miami in Finals... ha ha ha... with that kind of games na ipinakita ng Lakers... lalamunin lang sila ng buo ng Miami...
other way around...
Miami can beat Lakers much better than MAVS... Thats like Kobe-thinking (nuts)...
Miami vs Lakers... thats like Manny vs Mosley (alang kwentang kalaban).
well hindi natin masasabi... kasi pulbos (lagapak) na agad lakers eh... samantalang ang Miami... pinapakain pa ng pulbos ang Celtics sa kasalukuyan...
sir the sweep by the Mavs does not mean the lakers will get beaten to a pulp by the Heat, in basketball numbers really matter,records matter, statisitics matter, but in the actual games, there is such a thing as breaks of the ball game. the Mavs sweeping the Lakers does not mean they are shoe in for the championship and for the sake of discussion, even if the Heat is coming on really strong, it does not necessarily mean that if it happens its a championship between Lakers and Heat, its a stroll in the park for the Heat, the Mavs coming out the better team in their series with the Lakers does not mean the Heat will come out the better team if its a Championship between them and the Lakers. As they say, when we go cruch time, throw all statistics outside the window. But since the Lakers is all gone for now, lets just save this discussion next year.
For a change, I actually wanted the Celtics to win today just to make the series longer for the Heat.
Grizzlies had a chance to take control of the series but simply ran out of steam.
sorry for my ignorance, ano na ba standing ng MEM-OKC?
Malapit mo na akong ma convince pre. Pag nag Heat ako madami matutuwa, -- kapatid ko, pamangkin ko, and my 10 year old will be happy to have me rooting for their team.
Sige, pwede na nga para kay Coach Erik. Mag Heat na nga ako basta wag ka na masyado magalit sa Lakers ko pwede ba. Hahaha. Pagpahingahin mo na muna si Black Mamba ;D ;D
sir marvin, I have always been fascinated by great teams, in the modern era, mahirap ng maabot ang naabot ng lakers, nuong nawala si shaq at natira si kobe, madaming nagsabi wala na lakers but obviously ang dami pa din nila na achieve.
im not sure kung tama ang observation ko, this season has been tough for the lakers becasue they have challenges in their fluidity, matagal tagal na din naman nag lalaro si fisher and time will take its toll, probably next year, with a very efficient point guard, nanjan na ulit ang lakers, one last try for steve nash perhaps
Yes...I think its a season of disinterest and it showed with their multiple losing streaks that went 5 games at the most. There was never a sense of urgency. And when a very capable Dallad Mavericks came, they got their a** whoopin.
I guess its better for them really. The roster will be re assessed and I do hope Fisher will retire. We'll be glad he can sit at the bench and do assistant duties. The roster is very much capable, a little tweak and have no reason to doubt that they will contend again.
Regarding the Laker bashing, I think it magnified when Kobe became the superstar that he is. An arrogant brash kid who was not hiding the fact that he wants to be the next MJ, it wasnt welcomed by NBA fans who considered MJ as the MAN. If Kobe wasnt a Laker Id probably hate him too!!
Couple this with the Lakers being the equivalent of MLB's NY Yankees. The huge market Franchise who gets all the breaks....in terms of viewership, freeagents and trades (Shag signing, and Gasol trade). Its easy to understand how the Lakers gets a legion of bashers and haters.
And when a debacle like the Dallas series come......they fall hard. And we fans gets embarrased too. I guess thats the way I like it.....at least we know the Franchise always contends, we win some.....we fall but fast to rebuild rather than be mired in mediocrity as some franchises are known for.
The uniforms

Mukhang masama ang loob or nahihiya sina John Wall...
golden state warriors sila nun, jrich, barnes, baron davis and company.
may knee injury din kasi si matt barnes coming to the playoffs, he had his knee drained during the 1st round and also recovering from ankle injury na nawala sya ng 3 months ata nung regular season.
though kups move talaga yung kay bynum, bata pa kasi yun i think he is only 22 or 23, kelangan nya pa mag mature para di sya maging pikunin. hehe.
and i agree kelangan na talaga nila ng bagong pg, si steve blake di maka perform ng mabuti dahil sa limited minutes. i remember magaling yun dati nung tandem pa sila ni brandon roy sa blazers. ngayon parang wala na laro nya.

Gasol addresses poor play as Lakers head out
Posted May 10 2011 9:23PM
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -- Andrew Bynum wishes he could take back his flagrant foul on Dallas guard J.J. Barea during the Los Angeles Lakers' final playoff game, a mistake that got him suspended for five games next season.
Pau Gasol would like a do-over on the entire postseason after his veteran team finally ran out of steam.
The Lakers began their offseason with most players' exit interviews at their training complex Tuesday. Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson will wrap up on Wednesday.
While Bynum expressed remorse for his costly cheap-shot foul and Derek Fisher looked toward a busy summer as the players' union president, general manager Mitch Kupchak asked soul-searching questions about why the two-time defending champs were swept out of the second round by the Mavericks.
"We just never really imagined being in this situation and speaking to these guys under these circumstances," Fisher said. "This one definitely hurts. This one will be with us for a while. ... We've been forced to take a close look in the mirror, and I think we're going to come back and respond."
Gasol likely had the most questions to answer after his scoring and rebounding averages and shooting percentage all declined precipitously in the playoffs.
"Our execution was inconsistent throughout the series," Gasol said. "We just got away from the keys and elements of our offense and our game. They were adding up to the point where it seemed like we barely knew each other at the last game. It's an experience we all should learn from."
Gasol averaged just 13.1 points and 7.8 rebounds in Los Angeles' 10 playoff games, taking much of the heat for the Lakers' struggles from incensed fans. They've flooded talk-radio stations and websites calling for his departure in the past 48 hours, causing Gasol to roll his eyes when told about it.
The All-Star 7-footer didn't directly address widespread rumors that trouble in his personal life contributed to his poor play, but said his girlfriend "has been taking hits which are absolutely false, all those stories."
"The thing that makes me the angriest is me not playing at my best, and me not being able to help my team accomplish its goals," Gasol said. "That's what makes me the angriest. The rest of the stuff, you can brush it off. It's not really that big of a deal."
Most players recognized the signs of their decline in hindsight, notably the draining toll of playing 77 postseason games in the past four years. The Lakers' lengthy losing streaks, unimpressive home play and general lack of passion all caught up to them in the postseason when they couldn't immediately raise their intensity to match hungrier opponents.
"This wasn't an overnight thing," Fisher said. "It happened over time. Some of it is just a part of making the run that we've made for the last three or four seasons, the number of games we've played over the last four or five years. In a sense, we were set up to have a fall at some point, but I don't think any of us imagined falling in this way."
Bynum echoed Fisher's thoughts about the cumulative effect of their success, but from another angle: He thinks Los Angeles had trouble connecting on the court because the players rarely were all together in practice.
Bryant, Bynum, Fisher and other veterans routinely skipped practice to rest their worn-down bodies. Bryant rarely practiced while playing through numerous injuries all season, including a sprained ankle in the first round of the playoffs.
"We have to practice," Bynum said. "I can't address anyone's health. I haven't been the most healthy person, but I do know that in order to win, we need to practice. We need to be out there going through things together. That's just the way that is. That's the main thing that I see that was different from the last two years. Our practice just wasn't the same."
The Lakers also expressed uniform regret for sending Jackson into his latest retirement with a four-game sweep, although they covered most of those feelings while it was still fresh in Dallas.
"It was very, very frustrating, and I apologized to him face-to-face," said backup guard Shannon Brown, who hasn't decided whether to exercise his $2.4 million player option for next season. "I told him that that was a terrible way ... for him to go out, and I really felt bad for him. I really can't put it into words how disappointed, upset, embarrassed, frustrated we really were. It still hurts."
The Lakers generally endorse assistant coach Brian Shaw as their choice to replace Jackson, but realize their mistakes may have hurt his candidacy in the eyes of owner Jerry Buss. Fisher said he's "hopeful that Brian will get the opportunity, even if it isn't here."
Not everybody had only rose-colored thoughts about Jackson. Forward Luke Walton said he "cleared the air" with Jackson after spending most of the season rotting on the bench, unable to crack Jackson's second-team rotation. Walton is due $11.78 million over the next two seasons.
The Lakers were noncommittal about the need for big changes in the offseason, realizing it isn't up to them. Ron Artest was among the players who believe that with a little rest and a renewed attitude, this core could contend for a title again.
"This year was unfortunate, but I'd be more than happy to go to battle with these guys again," Artest said. "I don't think you've seen the last of the Lakers."
Lakers' Bynum suspended five games for Barea foul
http://www.nba.com/2011/news/05/10/lakers.bynum.suspended.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2
And how are they gonna acquire D12?? they cant afford to sign him max contract w/o going overboard in the lux tax(w/c they already are) and the lakers dont have good trade pieces (gasol= getting old, bynum= an a$$hole who's injury prone) to entice orlando.. Other teams can offer better packages... like the nets, for instance..
Lakers' Bynum suspended five games for Barea foul
http://www.nba.com/2011/news/05/10/lakers.bynum.suspended.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2
The league also fined Bynum $25,000 for ripping off his jersey while heading to the locker room, which means the suspension will cost Bynum more than $700,000.
Forward Ron Artest was suspended for Game 3 of the series after a hard foul on Barea late in Game 2. Artest said Tuesday that he disagreed with his suspension.
"What are you going to do? You've got a guy who's 5-2," Artest jokingly said of the 6-foot Barea. "I extend, and he's straight up, like a broomstick, and his face was in my palm. When it happened, I was like, 'Oh boy. Are you all right, young fella?' And then I was ejected. ... It was unfortunate, the ejection and suspension. It wasn't right. It wasn't right. It shouldn't have happened."
Coz they are the Lakers...they are always capable of doing the blockbuster signing/deal. As long as Dr. Buss is running the team.....anything as possible. Even if they have the highest payroll.......the team is still making a profit. ;)
Kahit ano pa trade value nina Gasol/Bynum or Odom..no matter how you understate their value......if you are Orlando, would you just let D12 go away via free agency (ala Lebron?), or get pieces for him in return? (look what Denver has done with Melo).
it's amazing people here are still talking about the lakers. ;D
no... i would probably trade him to the NETS... they have young bigs and cheaper too..
Orlando has no OBLIGATION to trade d12 to the lakers(even if u think they are so high and mighty..) Orlando would probably trade him to another team before the GM otis smith even thinks of dealing wid the lakers due to the shaq scenario in the past...doing so WILL get him fired..
The Nets may offer the best potential package to Orlando, but that carries the risk that they wont be able to keep someone like Dwight long term. So unless they are willing to take that risk, they might not offer all their cards to get Dwight, so here comes Mitch Kupchak with an offer like Bynum+Odom for Dwight and suddenly the decision makes sense for Otis Smith.
funny u mentioned long term.. kobe is already 32, more or less 3yrs left in his prime.. But how about on the nets, d12 and DERON(@26) :o :o they can just build around that core... plus with a russian mogul as owner willing to spend and moving to brooklyn(new york)... how can dwight not want to stay long term??oh well we can only speculate can we.....we're just saying anything is possible on a laker deal....as opposed to your view that no way he'll be a laker.....big difference.

I NEVER said he cant be a laker, he still can be BUT with A LOT of IF's.. like he can be a laker if he takes a paycut(in free agency) or a trade in which orlando will force LA to take arenas or turkoglu's HUGE contract(w/c will severely affect LA's payroll in the lux tax plus in acquiring new talent to rebuilt) Unlike with the nets, they can have dwight via trade or free agency(they can offer him max contract if im not mistaken) plus moving to brooklyn NY(big market city) and playing with a top point guard in the league... so seriously though, why would d12 pick la over the nets??
Deron hasn't exactly indicated he's in for the long haul but yes maybe if he gets the support he needs he may decide to renew. Prokhorov really is the wild card here, since indications point him to be a Mark Cuban type who's not afraid to break the bank. The move to Brooklyn may help since it's a new stadium and all, but Brooklyn isn't exactly the same as the NY of the Knicks, just as Clippers aren't the Lakers and those two even share Staples. But I'm sure the Nets front office will make some big moves to land them a whale.
I'm not saying Dwight is a lock for the Lakers, but in Orlando they did try to surround him with decent talent but something was always missing to get them to that next level. So its not about just joining because of potential but buying in to a organization that has proven itself as contenders year after year. If I were his agent, LA would be a prime consideration for my client.
About an aging Kobe, yes I predict about 3 years as well. His body is banged up after 16 years. But thats exactly why a marquee player may want to sign up with the Lakers, to be in a winning system and a chance to be the next face of the franchise. :)
okc and dallas in the wcf,and miami vs chicago sa ecf?
addendum:move on,both laker fans and haters. ;D
I have moved on...we are offseason mode already!!
Seriously though....id like to throw in memphis in there....just to have that cinderella story angle to it....mygod missed that EPIC game yesterday! Epic failure on my part......
Memphis bandwagon anyone? Seats still available!
@aRujoN - No probably not, more likely scenario is a 3 team trade. Orlando will likely try to move some of their players with lousy contracts along with Dwight and LA will want no part of that. So a 3rd team with certain needs (to win immediately or looking for expiring contracts) will have to come in IMO.see! another big IF ...so who do u think is gonna be that 3rd team to take arenas' and/or turkoglu's contracts(not yet expiring next season)?
I have moved on...we are offseason mode already!!

If Howard wants to be a step closer in winning his first ring would it make perfect sense if he joins New Jersey together with DWill or with LA together with Kobe and Gasol?again, how? thru a paycut to be a laker?
- trade him to another team and acquire the pieces that could possibly fit the void left by Howard and come away with less payroll expense while not taking a step back in competitiveness.and that's why the Nets makes the most sense for him to sign.. they CAN PAY him, afford to build around him with quality players and have a chance at a championship playing with deron... and orlando can get their young/bigs at a manageable price...
Scenario # 2 would be the most viable. They could get two to three talented players for the price of 1 superstar in Howard.
@aRujoN - Yeah well thats why I'm not an NBA GM. Hell I hardly ever trade in my Fantasy leagues ;D. I don't know what else to say but these things happen.
Allow me to use Google for a minute here...
1969: Wilt Chamberlain for Archie Clark, Darrall Imhoff, and Jerry Chambers.
1975: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for Elmore Smith, Brian Winters, Junior Bridgeman, and Dave Meyers
1979: Gail Goodrich traded to the Jazz for a No.1 pick who turned out to be Magic Johnson
1982: After winning the championship they get the #1 pick through a trade with Cleveland who turned out to be James Worthy
1996: Shaq
1996: Trade Vlade to Charlotte for draft pick who turns out to be Kobe

See how this one picture can turn into a epic discussion ;D ;D ;D
About a pay cut for Dwight. I wouldn't even be surprised if he takes one. He would easily make it up through other means like endorsements he would get by exposure to a big market like LA.
@aRujoN - No probably not, more likely scenario is a 3 team trade. Orlando will likely try to move some of their players with lousy contracts along with Dwight and LA will want no part of that. So a 3rd team with certain needs (to win immediately or looking for expiring contracts) will have to come in IMO.

yep... now i finally know how it feels like to be delusional like some hardcore fans...hehe ;D
Nah that would never happen. Sawa na si CP3 sa pinstripes. :D
Nah delusional if I were maybe if i were say a Raptors or a Wolves fan. But in Hollywood anything can happen if you believe :D

Dwight in MIAMI... oh yeah

Big 3 becames Big 4...
kpag napunta D12 sa miami with lj, wade, bosh with Coach Erik... Lakers, Celtics and other teams kakain ng alikabok... pupulbusin ng pinung-pino... lalamunin nang buong-buo... :)
parang Team USA na Miami nyan. kulang na lang si Chris Paul ;D
Epic Team......e kung nakulelat....di ba yun ang Epic Failure? ;D
I NEVER said he cant be a laker, he still can be BUT with A LOT of IF's.. like he can be a laker if he takes a paycut(in free agency) or a trade in which orlando will force LA to take arenas or turkoglu's HUGE contract(w/c will severely affect LA's payroll in the lux tax plus in acquiring new talent to rebuilt) Unlike with the nets, they can have dwight via trade or free agency(they can offer him max contract if im not mistaken) plus moving to brooklyn NY(big market city) and playing with a top point guard in the league... so seriously though, why would d12 pick la over the nets??
Dwight in MIAMI... oh yeah

why would the Nets get Howard? isnt the Nets the Team who has that Lopez guy? that guy is a very good center and is younger than Howard i think.why would they not want d12?? he's the best center in the league today.. orlando would get lopez/humpries via trade if ever... better package(youth/potential/cheaper) than bynum and gasol that la has to offer..
Which Team will have better chances in giving Howard a ring and please lets base everything on current Team performance and composition,not any other conditions that are not happenning yet.Please take out luxury taxes, salary cap and all also, lahat naman ng team owners can make things happen whne they need it.
Epic Team......e kung nakulelat....di ba yun ang Epic Failure? ;D
as far as I know, both D12 and CP3 have a year left in the contacts in their current teams. They will be free agents after the 2011-2012 season; not yet next season... ;Dexactly! this is one reason why i dont get where all of these d12 to la talk is coming from.. it doesnt make sense for dwight and/or orlando...

mga sir di playoffs pa.wala pang nagchachampion may next season discussion na.parang gusto ng mga LA fans 2011-2012 season na agad para makabawi ha ;D
enjoy muna watching other teams ganda pa naman ng laban ng ibang teams lalo na yung umabot sa 3ot
I read a statement from the Magic earlier that they're not willing to trade Howard no matter what, so a Melo type midseason-trade may be out of the question. Howard also has a player option after the end of the 2011-12 season which he won't likely exercise. Ultimately, he could end up anywhere in 2012, it's all up to his discretion.these are the reasons that makes it more plausible for d12 to go to the nets and even to the celtics rather than going to la... other teams can make better offers to orlando than what lakers can/could.. even the bulls can make a better offer.. imagine drose and d12!! :o :o
Some possible destinations in 2012-13:
LA Lakers: Lakers can still acquire Howard (max contract and everything) through a sign and trade. Orlando may change their minds about refusing to trade Howard once the writings on the wall that he wants to go elsewhere. It's still better to get value for him through a trade than to lose him for nothing in free agancy.
Celtics: Plenty of cap space
Miami: not possible, unless they trade one of their max contract players or Howard agrees to sign for the MLE.
Nets: Plenty of cap space if they don't acquire any free agents this coming offseason or if Deron opts out. The Nets may also soon move to Brooklyn which is a positive.
imagine drose and d12!! :o :o
The LA and NY media are notorious for hyping up imaginary rumors and trades that some major superstar will end up in their city. So be prepared for a barrage of fictitious rumors and speculations that D12 will end up in LA, or CP3 to NY in the upcoming season.
well i guess that's what the media is for... making claims but cant concretely back it up..
Naalala ko nuon, ang aga nung mga Lebron to NY rumors. 3 years in advance ata yun.
im betting d12 stays put.
delikado pa miami nito. the Celtics are very much capable of climbing out of this 3-1 hole. and now Miami is still down 7 points with less than 9 mins to go in the 4th. :P
Hoping Shaq retires na......
miami is looking good for a 2nd championship especially now that bostona nd lakers are eliminated.i dont think eitherr atlanta or the bulls can stop them.if ever chicago wins ing their series match up with atlanta i hope they prove me wrong by beating the heat coz i'm starting to like the maturity of rose and his ability to take over the game
In this playoffs there is only one sure winner... the NBA fan
+1
But i think one way to negate Miami's big 3 is for the opposing team to have dominant big men in the 4 and 5 positions.. this is why I think Miami will have a hard time should they ever get into the finals and face a team like Dallas, OKC or Memphis.. Miami just don't have enough good big men..
I hope the Mavs win the West so we'll have a rematch of the '06 Finals.. for sure Bosh will have his hands full guarding Nowitzki.. ;D
+1hoping for a different result if that happens.mavs fan here,hehe

Celtics collapsing in the 4th and DWade and LBJ proving that they are clutch. also, tama si sir wacksy Boston's TOs did them in. only their shooting kept them in the game.
ok. now Miami will have a good rest before the Bulls/Hawks series. ;D
hopefully, boston will bounce back and sana the Miami and Boston rivalry will continue next year! ;D
ganyan dapat ang laro... kahit kulelat... humahabol para manalo... Lakers team sana may natutunan kayo sa laro ng Miami at Celtics.
Hoping Shaq retires na......
Fearless forecast: Although I hate Boston, I'd say the teams split the first 2 in Miami, split the next two in Boston, then the Celts win the crucial game 5 and wrap it up in 6. (I hope I'm wrong, haha.)
stick a fork on him, he's done :D beasting career for the diesel
(http://images4.fanpop.com/image/user_images/2250000/AlphaWolf-2250466_834_1120.jpg)
Boston being booted out falls on Ainge's head. The day he made the trade was the time the Celtics were no longer in contention for the title. The Celtics beat the Heat using their length and inside intimidation on defense. Ainge thougt the team needed to be more of a perimeter team so he sacrified length, inside defensive intimidation and rebounding. Well he was wrong.
Putting all his marbles on Shaq did him in as well.
T'was just so unfortunate for Boston that Shaq and other key players got injured.. who knows, maybe the outcome would have been different had they all stayed healthy.. then I'm quite sure nobody here would even say that the Perkins trade was a mistake..
Maybe....but as it is, the trade was a failure.
ang lakas talaga ni shaq dati no sayangbakit naman sayang,he's got 4 rings.he is a former mvp and finals mvp.h is right there among the top center nba player of all time
guess the reason why the celtics refused to congratulate the heat after they lost the series,e para no love lost next year? ;D
A Perkins-KG tandem would have punked Bosh into submission......instead, what have you got....Boston was the one who adjusted in the match-ups.....sometimes playing KG at 5, playing small.....you dont beat miami that way. I guess Ainge has his reasons, but it didnt pan out now....and C fans are angry....
And its pretty bad coz OKC actually benefitted a lot with Perkins in tow.....
bitter?
i believe boston and LA lost because of the trades.
Bos - Perkins
LA - Vujacic
damn!
the loss of Perkins is a big factor but not the only factor. they lost more so because of their age and health. in their four losses against the Heat, Boston gassed out in all fourth quarters. KG is 36, Ray Allen is 35 and P2 is 34. it also doesn't help that Rondo got injured. so go figure. Perkins wouldn't have helped the C's struggles offensively and poor late-game execution. there are a lot of factors that contributed in their loss which i stated in my previous post.Those other factors, save for the Rondo injury, would have been different. But just as it is, Im only speculating. had Perkins still a Celtic, the series would have been closely decided than what it is now.
a quote from Doc Rivers himself: "Those three guys are tough," said Rivers. "Those two guys are monsters. When they're making their jump shots, they're tough to beat."
and the Heat were certainly draining their jumpers. specially with Lebron's two threes. Perkins won't be able to do anything about that.
bitter?

??? ??? ???
i saw the players and coaches hug and exchange what seems to me as congratulatory words after game 5. was there something i've missed?
Miami-Bulls for the East Finals! ;D
my prediction:
Miami in 6 games! Let's Go Heat!
pero ok na rin kung Bulls pumasok :D
Go BULLS,..!
Napakasimpleng magsalita ni DRose,..!
Yan ang MVP,...
i agree. he's very political in his answers hehehe. joking aside, he could be the one to carry on Jordan's legacy. unlike Lebron, Wade, Kobe and other superstars, wala pa ko kilala na ayaw kay DRose. and this is coming from a Wade and Kobe fan.
The Celtics season wasn't over in the midseason when Perkins was traded no more than it was over in the offseason when Lebron made his "decision". The season isn't lost until you miss the playoffs of get defeated four times in a playoff series. While the loss of Perkins certainly had an effect on the outcome of the Celtic's season, saying that a certain franchise lost its season for something that happened as early as 3 months ago takes away a lot of credit from the opponents who eliminated them fairly and convincingly.

si ray allen, delonte west at doc rivers lang naiwan at mga assistant. the rest, kg, pierce and company dumiretso na agad sa locker room.
ah ok, thx for the info, didn't see that part.
at least di sila nanakit nung natalo sila unlike...
Probably the loss of Coach Thibodeau was also a factor.
Miami-Bulls for the East Finals! ;D

sir loemarly, i have been expressing my dislike with LBJ but this time my congrats to you and Miami, and in this series, hands down i will bat for the Heat here, Wade, LBJ nad Bosh have more supueriro expereince than CHI. We will see this time if Rose would carry his MVP jersey, this is the toughest grind now.
I agree with this. it also takes away the worthiness of your other players. as i've said, that trade was a big factor but not THE ONLY factor. Even the players and Doc Rivers doesn't look at their loss that way.
Nag-apologize si LBJ,..?
I like what Chris Webber said,
Mag-apologize ka kung nasa syo na ang trophy,
for now, better shut up and play...
Wala pa man din ay nagsasalita na sya...
Hindi pa tapos ang laban nya, its just starting...
Really hate that guy...
who is Chris Webber or anyone for that matter to say when LBJ can apologize? at least he was humble enough to admit that he was wrong. For LBJ, he just feels like he needs to apologize. Ain't no one can tell him when or in what situation he can do this.
did he say "Right now that we're sure of winning the NBA Championship, I apologize to Cleveland blah, blah, blah" ? he didn't even say that. He just wants to apologize, is there something wrong with that?

ha ha ha... haters ka rin pala ni Lebron... kung hate mo si LJ malamang lamang hate mo rin Kobe...
Come to think of it, Coach Thib could have made a big difference if he was still in the Celtics bench. Maybe even a bigger factor than the Perkins trade, Rondo injury and the aging big three.
Hahahaha,...
we are set to migrate to LA soon,
I think wala akong choice but to support the team,...
My son and my wife loves the Lakers,
my daughter and I supports whoever faces LA...
:P
That's a matter of opinion sir,..
and that is your opinion,...
not mine,...
hmmm... since dito ka pa rin sa Phlippines... better support na rin ang MIAMI... since ang coach nia ay dugong pinoy .... wag mo na lang pansinin si LJ he he he....
i'd love to see LBJ drbbling off his foot against the Bulls' stonewall defense come crunch time.
it could be MAVS vs HEAT.. parang last 2006 but this time sana makabawi ang MAVS 8)
It's but fitting that the two tormentors of the erstwhile champions Lakers and Boston meet in the finals. Dallas beat back to back champion Lakers and Heat beat 2008 champion Boston. So MAVS vs HEAT should be the finale here.
Mark my words: Miami will be the Champs this year! ;)
it could be MAVS vs HEAT.. parang last 2006 but this time sana makabawi ang MAVS 8)
I think OKC will end this series today. James Harden's haircut and beard must be distracting the Grizzlies. :)
With the signing of Doc for the long run and the statement of the team management that when they decide to rebuild no one will be untouchable (Pierce may be an exception IMHO) many rumors have started cropping up one of the more interesting one is: Rondo for D-Will trade... The author was saying though the determination and heart of Rondo was with pure Celtics tradition, the management is beginning to think that his improvement has plateaud and will be looking at a PG with more scoring skills to support Pierce...
What do you think folks? Interesting but Hay, this is too early they wont even let us enjoy the rest of the season... As Odom said there is no such thing as an off season for the Lakers, I guess with Boston its the same thing...
durant only 11 pts, unti unti na ata kinukuha ni westbrook ang OKC ah. hehe.BUWAYA kasi >:( >:(
r against Boston
Prediction: Heat in 6.
Bosh is gonna play lockdown defense on Boozer as usual.
I predict Miami in 5. Bosh is gonna play lockdown defense on Boozer as usual.

let's see if spo makes the necessary adjustments.they have to,otherwise they'll be deep in bull sh*t. ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
gone fishing muna for a coach and for kobe's supporting cast. then, no more shaq. now no more philjax. what now kobe? baka "maoverpower" niya kung medyo mahina ang coach.
i like d.rose parang prime allen iverson na walang ere, trabaho lang. MVP!

di ko napanood.... nasa kalsada ako from Lucban...
Taj Gibson was a huge factor,...
Great game,...
Taj tremendous slam:

masyado atang naging over confident ang Heat ah...
di ba nila alam na hindi pa sila nanalo sa homecourt ng Bulls...

Talo na may yabang pa,.... :o
lose graciously man,...
If, we really want something new @ the NBA Finals - D.Rose and the Bulls vs. KD and the Thunder ... the Heat and the Mavs doesn't represent anything new - "bagong luma" lang sila kapag pumasok sila sa NBA Finals. Go Bulls Go! Go Thunder Go!
this is exciting, mga bata ang superstars
o.t. nothing beats MJ's in your face of the BIG3 - dikembe (with matching finger wag ala-dikembe nagkapikunan tuloy hehehe); patrickewing and zo mourning! best defensive centers posterized by who else?
Grant Hill? ;D
tinesting lng ng heat yan...hehenice one Gob,i natatandaan ko pa yung post mo na parang naglalakad lang ang lakers sa park nung nagkasunod sunod talo ng lakers before playoffs ;D n ;Dow the lakers have gone fishing...hehe
duma-dunk ba si GH? baka si MB mugsy bogues ::) very disappointed ako sa kanila ni penny hardaway. supposedly candidates to be heir to the throne but injuries did them in.

Here's the complete story on Wade's comment. He even applauded when he saw the replay! Mayabang? I don't think so. I think he took it very graciously...
Chicago's Taj Gibson had a highlight reel dunk early in the second quarter when he threw down a vicious two-hander over Wade, leading to a three-point play. How impressive was it? Even Wade clapped about six times when he saw the replay. "That was a good one," Wade said. "That's a great ratio for me. First time I got dunked on all year. I'll take my 90 to 1 [edge] on my blocks to my dunked-on [ratio]. I really got punked. It was good. It was a very athletic play. I knew I didn't have a chance. I was backpedaling when I saw him take off. He's very athletic."
I personally think Wade is too classy to even mind being dunked at. So what if get a facial? Part of the game.
ayun naman pala eh hindi kumpleto yung statement ni DWade na nilagay dito. ::)
haha sorry i just quoted adrian wojnarowski natuwa lang ako coz im part of the miami hate club ;D ;D. :D
I think Wade is more concerned of the adjustments they need to make for Game 2 rather than being dunked at by Gibson in Game 1. Mas nakakahiya if Chicago will turn this series into a no contest series. Kakahiya ang Big 3 pag ganun.
'Yan ang problema sa media - sometimes they take the players' comments out of context. Tingin ko rin Wade is a classy player. Unlike his friend.
the best dunk ever done during a game!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp6qJ7LZNlg&feature=related
its over. nuff said..
this made me buy the shoes.
he dunked over a stationary player.
iba yung may kalaban na handang supalpalin gaya ni wade kanina at nila dikembe,patrick at zo- 3 of the best defensive centers.
___
kaya nga disappointed ako kay grant hill, first air-apparent pretender to the throne.
okay na rin yan si Wade... kahit talo sports pa rin... samantalang ang ibang player... gusto nang patayin ang kalaban kasi pinahiya sila nang sobra... he he he...
go go Heat...
dito natin malalaman kung gaano kagaling ang dugong pinoy na coach...
technically he was hoping for a charge.. pero tinalunan sya..
same with the car of blake griffin? ::) ;D

Dirk goes berserk! 40 points with still 5 minutes to go and Mavs up by 11.
And this small guy Barea has been very consistent since the LA series. Ang galing nito. Mala Hector Calma ang mga moves nito. Drive sa gitna sabay floating shot over the big guys. Siya sumira ng defense ng LA eh.
It's now 44 pts, 11-14 FG, 22-22 FTA, 6 REBS, 3 ASTS, 4 BLKS, 2 TOS.
if i'm Ibaka i'll call my son Dirk <-- van gundy. lol!
Natalo ang Thunder ng Tanders (matatanda) ::)
kung natalo ng matandang Dallas ang batang Thunder...
bakit hindi nagawang ipanalo ng Celtics ang laban sa Miami?
bakit hindi nagawan ng paraan ng Lakers na talunin ang pareho niya katanda?
talagang malakas ang Heat/Dallas laban sa celtics/lakers...
hindi pala talaga rason ang aging team.
Who I want to see win the 2011 NBA Championship: #1 - Thunder; #2 - Bulls ; #3 - Heat ...
Brother Dpogs, parang may history ka sa Celts and Lakes ha.. :).. are u a Pistons fan? :)
Who I want to see win the 2011 NBA Championship: #1 - Thunder; #2 - Bulls ; #3 - Heat ...
wow! good for them ;D sino ba matunog na college players ngayon?
hindi naman... i just want to emphasize na inexcusable ang pagkatalo ng 3 top teams (Spurs, Lakers at Celtics).
they can never blame their aging players.
you're right you can never put the entire blame on the ages of players, but with age comes injuries, some of their players who are even young suffered injuries... and though that is also no excuse it affects the games played. Sometimes a single injury can make you lose a few games, make you lose home court advantage and eventually lose in playoffs, but that does not say that you had a literally bad season... You just lost to either a better, younger or a hungrier team
There are 30 teams in the Nba, 16 to the playoffs from there only 2 will go through the finals until 1 is crowned the champion... So you cannot say that even for sucessful teams like the Celtics, Lakers or Spurs na inexcusable pag natalo sila when there are 27 teams left trying to dislodge them... panapanahon lang yan Kobe, KG, TD, Pierce and Manu used to be young also until time passed on them... someday tatanda din sina LBJ, KD, D Wade and D Rose... And someone will take their places... The question will be how their legacy will be remembered and how they will re shape thier game when their prime is over... when thier athlethesism leaves them how will they play and react...Veteran Savvy, di natuturo yan it is acquired through experience and yun ang sinasabi ni sir bumblebee na you give respect were respect is due... Remember when you win it is easier to get praises, but if you get respect even whe you lost that is a different thing...

hmmm... nice one... in short natalo sila kasi mas magaling kalaban nila..
then i think... i have much respect for Spurs and Celtics even they lost...

Oo nga dpogs, talaga bang galit ka sa LA ko >:(
Well, I guess LA really is a team that makes many people happy. When Lakers lose, many are happy! When they got swept by the Mavs, my FB was barraged with messages from LA Haters for days. It was really amusing. Nagulat ako sa dami ng haters. I just told them - Sige, mga haters, now is your time! You waited 3 long years for this. Mag enjoy kayo... Hahaha. Wala lang, nakakatuwa lang kasi ako naman di galit sa Mavs, o sa Boston ;D
26-19 end of 1st qtr in favor of bulls ;D
iba talaga nadadala ni haslem.
medyo sablay ata defense ng bulls ngayon.
sirs, meron po ba kayong ma-rerecommend na site para mapnood ko ngayon itoh?
wala kse dito sa UAE..
salamat..
http://ergerghrdf.tk/
kaya lang sobrang lag
HumaBulls!;D ;D ;D
what's wrong with Miami? 8 mins in the 4th quarter and they only scored 5 points?
if Maimi score over 100 pts, they win
if Chicago limits Heat under 85 pts, Bulls win
84-75yup. basta close game di uubra bulls. look what happened to celtics.
1-1 na yan
Lebron took over the game. Great game by Heat.That's the beauty of having superstars in your team. The ability to take the game.
Go Bulls pa rin!! ;D
whew... nagsindi ako ng kandila kagabi para lang manalo ang Heat... ha ha ha...
(nagsindi talaga ako ng kandila... brownout eh).
(http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/nba/photogallery/RoseThibs.png)
Seryoso si Drose with Coach Thibs analyzing Game 1. Getting ready for Coach Spo's adjustments. Seems like Spo will put Lebron and DWade alternately on DRose.
Again, it's a low scoring ballgame. Delikado ang Heat pag low scoring ballgame.
But mukhang napagod na si Rose din...
nice game, miami adjusted well to win this one, the bulls need to adjust next game plus no home crowd support
Kudos to Coach Erik (yan ang pinoy... magaling dumiskarte)
Go Bulls Go! Beat the Heat! Kaya pa yan ...
east (bulls heat) rather "small" lineups except for asik. sino naman ang itatapat kay dirk (o kd) both plays from the outside and dirk lowposts well. haslem?
if dallas, magaling ang pointguard (jason kid) game control, diskarte at maliksi din si jbarea driving. both heat and bulls have really no legit pg.
magandang matchup esp pag heat wins EC- offense vs. defense
if Miami wins the East finals, they will be more than capable with dealing with Kidd and Barea since batak na sila sa kaka-depensa ng magagaling na PG (ergo DRose and Rondo). Haslem already has proven that he can defend Dirk in the 2006 finals.
With regards to KD, LBJ can defend this guy. the question is, can KD defend LBJ?
Go Heat Go! Beath the Bulls! Kayang kaya yan... :) :)
i still give jasonkid the edge in playmaking and game control diskarte. maski tanders na si JK, pure pg siya kesa kina drose at rondo. ang maganda sa chicago ball-movement finding the openman unselfish play.
oh ok haslem, pero thats 5years ago. nandon si shaq sa ilalim. interesting to watch a rematch.
maganda ang outside 3 nila jasonterry at pejaS. delikado sila pag buenas yung 3 sa tres.
if okc i dont think theyll waste KDs energy on defending lbj. baka ma-limit scoring pag mapagod kababantay
d rose mas grabe pala magkalat..pag malas talagang dadaigin pa ni ricric marata...
d rose mas grabe pala magkalat..pag malas talagang dadaigin pa ni ricric marata...
baka si Lebron ang ayaw mawalan ng mom...
si delonte west? mukang oxosiguesigue hehehe
di mawawala ang "mafiosi" angle basta may pustahan
na mafia ba ang Lakers? Spurs? at Celtics?
na mafia ba ang Lakers? Spurs? at Celtics?
sa sobrang init ng labanang bullsheat di na napapansin un sobrang hataw na performance na mala caidic na shooting ni dirk...di n daw babantayan sa game 2 si dirk sabi ni brooks...gnun din nga naman eh....un isang bantay ni dirk di na bababa magaantay na lang ng touchdown pass pg nagmintis mavs...
mas matangkad ba si dirk kay bird?
nowitzki not looking to score,bad news for the mavs
kaya naman manalo ng OKC, ibangko lang nila si westbrook. panira ng opensa yun eh. lol.
yari ang dallas sa OKC homecourt, imo the loudest homecourt to date.
lalabas ang pag ka choker ni dirk nun. lol.
eh di gumaganda opensa ng OKC nung binangko si westbrook. pasaway kasi yan eh. puro brick shots at drive na pilit kala mo high school maglaro.larong kanto, bara, bara. bahala na si BATMAN ;D ;D ;D
Buti nga sa buwayang Westbrook na yan.sya yong tipong player na TAAS NOO,KAHIT TALO basta HIGHEST POINTER ;D ;D ;D

na mafia ba ang Lakers? Spurs? at Celtics?
sumilip na rin kanina nung nagmintis sya sa freethrow.
etong si westbrook parang kasing ulol maglaro ng pinaghalong marbury at steve francis...
He had 16 in the 4th. I wouldn't call that choking.
Di ba kelangan ng Lakers ng point guard next season... trade na lang si Westbrook kay Blake or Shanon Brown ;D
Bagay sila teammate ni KB8. Agawang-buko.. ;D
tingin ko mas swapang tong rw..itsurang itsura p lang nun mukha parang un mga import nuong araw ng ginebra...haha
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/708630-nba-playoffs-2011-russell-westbrook-is-slowly-turning-into-stephon-marbury
Talo na naman ako,...
Damn,... :D
Go BULLS,..!
kala ko kapag hi score si Bosh matatalo Miami (just like game 1)...
panalo pa rin Heat..
go go heat! nail down a 3-1 lead before going back to chicago.. ;D ;D ;D
bibigay na kaya ang bulls? hindi pa hinog? ok lang ganyan din pinagdaanan ni MJ, bugbog sarado sa pistons bago nagkampeon. kumbaga hayaan muna panahon nila larrybird,magicJ,isaiahT. your time will come dRose.
I agree bro. Every great team has its season. The MJ-led Bulls had theirs in the 90s. Boston and Lakers dominated the past 3 seasons. Now, a new team will be crowned. The Mavs definitely look hinog. It's about time for Dirk and Jason to get a ring. It's now or never. In the East, the Heat is llamado to win. After several failed attempts, Lebron deserves to get a ring. LBJ, no matter what you say about him, is truly one of the greatest players of his time. DWade deserves to have a second ring.
The Bulls is a good team. DRose is truly an MVP. Coach Thibo is a damn good coach. But IMO, parang kulang pa rin ang Bulls. Parang di pa rin swak na mag champion sila before Heat or Mavs. Yes, their time will come definitely but not yet this year.
Ganito cheer ng Chicago fans: Go Bulls...crap! Talo na naman! ;D
Kung ang tawag natin kay Westbrook ay buwakaw, di kaya yun din dap at ang tawag nation kay Derrick Rose. He's forcing a ton of shots out there, and his percentages aren't much higher than RW's.
problem is, RW has Durantula to pass to wherein DRose doesn't have someone like Durant.
I agree.. malakas bulls pro kulang sila ng firepower.. hindi sila makakatapat sa offensive power ng heat. kailngan pa nila ng isa pang consistent scorer..
77-81 end of third qtr
who is leading sir philiip
pag natalo pa ang okc sa overtime laking panghihinayang yan
how about a 2nd OT? ;D
Mukhang Dallas na Sir?
Pagdating sa dikdikan na game, llamado talaga ang veterans.
Looks like the Mavs will take this game. And the series.
The Mavs are on a different zone really. They deserve to win this one.
For OKC, they lost composure. These are baby pains that you go through as a young team. Napakasakit kuya...
ChOklahoma.
Yan ang EPIC collapse. 8)
okay lang yan... bata pa ang team kulang pa sa experience at least nanalo sila ng isa laban sa Dallas... ang EPIC COLLAPSE/FAIL eh iyong puno ng experience ni isa walang panalo (isang mala demonyong halakhak bwahahahaha)
tumataas ung value ng mga signed jerseys ni LBJ sa ebay ;D
okay lang yan... bata pa ang team kulang pa sa experience at least nanalo sila ng isa laban sa Dallas... ang EPIC COLLAPSE/FAIL eh iyong puno ng experience ni isa walang panalo (isang mala demonyong halakhak bwahahahaha)
wow, what a game by the MAVS!! :o :o IMO, they are the team to beat and will likely walk away as NBA champs. am very impressed!
d rose is overrated?
Wanted OKC to reach the Finals. But clearly, they still need experience plus a couple of other players. But at least it's an improvement from last season.
Dallas is on a roll. I hope Jason Kidd and Nowitzki finally get their rings. They deserve it more than any of the stars playing in the ECF.
Dpogs, talagang di ka maka move on sa Lakers. Are you talking about the back to back champion Lakers? Si Kobe lagi na sa mall at si Phil e gone fishing binibira mo pa rin. Sus dami na rings ni Kobe at Phil. Let's give chance to other worthy teams. Dallas wala pa kahit isa eh Tanders na sila Dirk at Jason. Dapat mag offer na sila ng egg sa Sta Clara para mag champion na. Baka mapurnada pa sila sa Heat ;D
I hope magchampion na ang mavs 14 years ko narin tong inaasam :)
rookie mistake. I was very dissapointed with OKC. They are very good team pero mga 2 years pa bago sila maging ripe for the title.
okay lang yan... bata pa ang team kulang pa sa experience at least nanalo sila ng isa laban sa Dallas... ang EPIC COLLAPSE/FAIL eh iyong puno ng experience ni isa walang panalo (isang mala demonyong halakhak bwahahahaha)
Galing talaga ni Westbrook. Kapag nag-champion ang Mavs, MVP si Westbrook! Ewan ko lang, baka naman hawak ng MAFIA ang OKC, kaya hindi na inulit ni coach Brooks ang pag-bangko kay Westbrook.
kahit sino sana sa 4 remaining teams mag campion,pwera miami! ;D
Ako naman kahit sino huwag lang ang Dallas. ;D
for crying out loud,move on already! ::)
for crying out loud,move on already! ::)
I have not seen Dirk play this hard and consistently. While wtaching earlier, stats were falshed showing the scoring of Dirk in the 4th qarter and he is avergaing more than 10 points from game 1 to 4. I have never seen him this tough, shooting tough shots, playing good defense...
kahit sino sana sa 4 remaining teams mag campion,pwera miami! ;Deto ang gusto ko :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
Just in case - Miami vs. Dallas match-up sa NBA Finals ... I hope Miami has the man to stop Dirk. For me, there is only one Dirk-Stopper - the retired Bruce Bowen. ;D Nevertheless, Let's Go Heat. Beat the Mavs. ;D
@chicagobulls tweets "RT @NBA RT @NBAStatsCube The last time the Most Valuable Player's team won that season's NBA Championship was 2002-03. #GoSpursGo"
@chicagobulls tweets "RT @NBA RT @NBAStatsCube Including the 2010-11 season, the Most Valuable Player's teams are now 0-8 ..."
The NBA Regular Season MVP award is now an 8-year curse ...
Wait... Dallas deserves to win?
Time for one of my favorite movie quotes then. :)
"Deserve's got nothing to do with it!"
(http://www.entaota.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/interview_Eastwood-Unforgiven1.jpg)
if OKC can beat Dallas... then Miami can beat Dallas better than OKC... and then be NBA 2011 Champion.
if OKC can beat Dallas... then Miami can beat Dallas better than OKC... and then be NBA 2011 Champion.
throw away even the stats, the team that has the highest score at the end of the game wins.
i was suppose to say the same thing, comments like that should not be mentioned anymore, this thread revolves around healthy basketball discussion, i have bashed on LBJ a few times but to keep saying this time and time again, its seems this is not needed anymore.
it would always be better dissuiing and sharing thoughts about the current games, if poster wants to share disgust to partuclar team or player, perhaps opening a new thread titled, what team in the nba do you hate the most and why should be done, otherwise, lets just discuss the games as it happens.
too bad analogy, parallelism and logic does not apply in basketball
throw away even the stats, the team that has the highest score at the end of the game wins.
Pwede na maging analyst ::)
Anyway.....of course Dallas doesnt deserve anything until they win it all. ANd no one's gonna give it to them handily. They got to earn it syempre.....just felt that they are the sentimental favorites, thats all.....
mababang level lang ang pagiging fans ko ng NBA... masaya na akong manood na nananalo ang napili kong team at (isang malaking at)... mas masaya ako kapag nakikita ko ang mukha ng mga talunang fans... lalo na ang mga asar talo... ha ha ha...
okay lang yan... bata pa ang team kulang pa sa experience at least nanalo sila ng isa laban sa Dallas... ang EPIC COLLAPSE/FAIL eh iyong puno ng experience ni isa walang panalo (isang mala demonyong halakhak bwahahahaha)
grabe init ng laban too bad im at the office >:(
grabe init ng laban too bad im at the office >:(
kung pumasok lang ung isang FT ni rose tapos na sana
yan ang masarap pag may tatlong all star, pag struggling yung isa may 2 pang option.
sa bulls pag hirap si rose, wala na. kulelat na lahat.
what a waste, two crucial turnovers, botched free throw, bulls paying dearly for it, same story as yesterdays game at the west
the lack of maturity will cost the bulls this ballgame
dang LBJ has been making clutch baskets here and there now i am eating my words
ganda ng dalawang block ni wade. Tindi ng hassle ng heat.
iba pa rin ung me playoff experience
marion vs lbj = lbj
kidd vs bibby = kidd
wade vs deshawn = wade
dirk vs udonis = dirk
chandler vs bosh = eto maganda....kung sino magpakitang gilas dito sa dalawa tingin ko panalo...
tama sir phillip, pag cruch time na ang gulo na ng rotation ng bulls kaya limited na ang options nila, perhaps rose should work more on his orchestrating skills,. shear stregth and talent would not be enough
oh yeah...
asan na ang mga Heat haters dyan ha ha ha...
respect respect respect...
parehong nagpakain ng alikabok ang heat at bulls... at the end... sinupalpal ng heat ang bulls ng sandamakmak na alikabok...
There goes the year for the Bulls,
Its been quite a ride,...
Hindi pa tapos ang series pero talagang hindi kaya
Ng Bulls ang Heat,... Damn,...
Great win for the Heat,...
From ESPN: If both the Heat-Bulls and Thunder-Mavs series end in five games, the NBA Finals will begin on Tuesday, May 31 (ABC, 9 ET).
Dallas will probably wrap up their series tomorrow. But I'm not counting out Chicago on Friday, at home. Maybe one more win to extend the series.
if thats the case. may konting rest na mavs, homecourt adv pa sa heat.
aba, delkikado si dpogs kung masagad ang heat ng bulls. (sana umabot ng game7 at kapusin sila pagtapat sa mavs)
markcuban, bring in MPakyaw as guest, swerte sa dallas yan ;D
Gigil na gigil na nga sir,... HAHAHA
O, nagmamadali na naman tayo sa finals.
Kaya ng Bulls talunin ang Heat. The 1996 Bulls, hehe.
Seriously though, how good was LeBron today. Dominating on D like he was Pippen. Controlling the O like he was Magic. Hitting daggers like he was, er, you-know-who.
Credit to the Pinoy coach as well, as he's proving to be a good in-game coach. Sana lang, even just once, in a post-game press conference, I would like Spo to say, "in fairness..." para naman mahalatang Pinoy siya.
Mike Brown daw is the leading candidate to coach LAL? Seriously?! That guy doesn't know about offense.
rose and westbrook parang parehas lang ng kayang gawin sa loob ng court...imo..
pwede rin, "actually...."
pero pag narinig ko siya - "this is you, this is you" aba bow na talagao ako kay Spo ;D
imo, only pj can handle a team using the triangle. may kasamang betsin ni zen-master pag siya ang may hawak ng renda. ;D
pag mahina-hina ang coach na makuha, baka di sundin ni kobe o masapawan ni kobe. si kobe na lang kaya mag playing coach? ala- this is you-this is you. say mo dpogs? ;D
Hindi parehas, kasi si D.Rose ang Top Gun ng Bulls. Si KD ang Top Gun ng Thunder, si Westbrook ang Scottie Pippen ng Thunder.
I'm expecting the OKC Coaching Staff to make a major announcement before gametime. Russell Westbrook will be out of the remainder of the playoffs due to an injury - Ballhog Sprain. Bad. ;D
only Rings wil tell if the lbj-dw duo will at most be at par or perhaps surpass Mike and scottie. nung dumating si scottie, hinog na si mike, kinompleto na lang nila philjax at scottie. ngayon masasabing hinog na si dwade at lbj kung makasungkit sila ng unang ring.
Does the number of rings really count in determining greatness? Do you really have to have more than Jordan & Pip to be considered great? Larry Bird only has 3 championship rings ( 1981, 1984 & 1986 ). Magic Johnshon has 5. Kobe has 5. Robert Horry has 7 . Therefore, Horry is better than Jordan, Magic, Bird & Kobe? Parang di yata di ba.
I believe it's the players' impact to the game that determines greatness. It's how they dominate the game. LBJ and Wade, IMO, have already cemented themselves as one of the legends in the NBA. Rings or no ring.
What you think?
naku sinabi mo pa. pati tuloy si durant nahahawa na sa mga bad shots ni westbrook. alam kasi ni kd na pag pinasa nya kay westbrook siguradong di na babalik sa kanya ang bola. although ok sana si westbrook very aggressive, athletic at scarappy but when it comes to making smart decisions during crusial plays, halatang bagito pa. ballhog masyado
rings do help. stocktontumalon - 0. theyre part of nba's 50 greatest but still 0 rings. malas nila natapat sa jordan era.
eh sila lbj dwade? on the "way out" na celtics3, kobe, SA3,,, drose, kd, kasabayan katapat nila. paangat pa lang si blakeG atbp

is it just me,or is it thibs' pacing of his players that gas them out toward the end of the game?
or wala na lang syang choice kung sino ipapasok kaya halos di na nya palitan starters nya?
bagay n coach ni kobe si mj.. ;D

lakers- philjax out, jerry west just jumped ship to GSW, whats next? ::)
eh matagal ng di connected in any official capacity si west sa lakers
head coach or not the lakers must keep brian shaw. I'm bothered that itsanother "new" start for the LAkers. Kobe is getting slower no time to try new things. Live and die with the triangle.I see Shaw getting a head coaching gig somewhere....no luck. Would be great if he stays though....
I see Shaw getting a head coaching gig somewhere....no luck. Would be great if he stays though....
Lakers didnt exclusively ran the Triangle offense anyway. Ill be more worried about what they will do with the PG spot. I think Fisher has overstayed his spot in the starting 5.
alam ko na ngayon bakit ang daming asar sa laro ni westbrook
sa tagal tagal ko ng naglalaro ng basketball and nanonood nito, nagyon lang ako nakakaita ng ganitong player, yung attitude parang naala ko si latrell sprewell sa kanya, sa laro, poor shot selction, looking to shoot more than to pass, stephen marbury nga na PG ito
on the other hand, mkuhang mas ok pa yata na si harden na lang mag PG
Congrats to the Mavs! Yup, they deserve to be in the Finals with the way they've been playing. I really hope Dirk and Jason Kidd especially will finally be called champs.
OKC will continue to be contenders. What doesn't kill them can only make them stronger. :)
Will there be trade chants involving RW in Oklahoma? Will front office overreact considering the play of James Harden...and trade for a low post scoring Big Man (rare species nowadays)?
Something to look forward too sa OKC off-season! :)
Hmm let me check OKC fan threads....
_________________________________________
Ok....Mavs bandwagon anyone?....meron pa seats!!!!
this is brook's fault 100% im scratching my head why are they're playing small ball? maynor? 2 crucial turnovers, they are outrebounded, outhussled and outcoached
one seat for me sir marv
i hope they trade RW really, apart form his bad plays, his bad attitude says it all, i dont mind seeing bad plays but with a good attitude, it can easily be corrected, RW doesnt seem to have it, the rest of the team went on to congraulate the mavs while he went straight to the dug out
will a steve nash going to OKC a possibility? Harden, Nash and Durant, i bet this can be something big too.
bakit pumasok agad si drik sa dugout. tinawag siya nung lady announcer then cut na coverage.
Congratulation to the new western conference champion!
Bring on the finals!
anyhow,sabi nila give him 2 or 3years,he will be an all nba talent.i wouldn't trade him just because of a bad WCF outing against a great dallas team.
my 2 cents. :)
i was kinda rooting for okc,kase i wanted the series to be extended sana hehehe ;D
kinda bitin nga 5 games lang but experience counts a lot specially in close games
whoever won in the west would be my choice for the finals being a west supporter since :D
O Kay Cakit! O Kay Caklap!
especially since they're going up against lbj,whom i really hate. ;D
O Kay Cakit! O Kay Caklap!na isip mo pa yan :o
mukhang marami will be rooting for mavs na magchampion this year...because of kidd...dirk...peja...specially kidd...finally to get his 1st ever ring....pag natalo ba kidd this year..siya ba yun pinakamaraming finals appearance na hindi nag champion? elgin baylor?
Lighter side muna, mga look alikes na nakita ko this playoffs...
1) Kyle Korver & Ashton Kutcher
2) Luol Deng & Djimon Hounsou
3) LBJ & Sammy Sousa
4) Mike Miller & Steve O
5) Peja & David Schwimmer
6) Marc Cuban & Matthew Perry
7) Mike Bibby & Mini-me
8) Manu & Bronson Pinchot
9) Nocioni & this guy Dominic from Lost
10) Pat Riley & Peter Stormare
11) Rick Carlisle & Jim Carrey
12) Rondo & Lil Bow Wow
13) Mike D' Antoni & the Pringles man
dagdagan nyo na lang...
GO MAVS VS HEAT! ;D
according to our friends in nba.com:
From 1960-61 through 1962-63 he averaged 34.8, 38.3, and 34.0 points, respectively. He led the Lakers to the NBA Finals eight times, was a 10-time All-NBA First Team selection, and played in 11 NBA All-Star Games.
Because his career paralleled the succession of juggernaut Boston Celtics teams in the 1950s and 1960s, Baylor never played on a club that won an NBA Championship.
wow.8 times and no ring?
frustration at its finest,or worst,whichever way you look at it. :'( ::)
14: KD and Jamie Foxx15. Dirk Nowitzki and Ron Weasley ? ;D
15. Dirk Nowitzki and Ron Weasley ? ;DHmmm.....maybe Dirk and Barry Pepper?...
di rin masyado napakinabangan un perkins...un nate robinson di man lang sinugal ni brooks..kahit isang quarter lang..talagang pero silang nalugi ng celtics dun sa trade n yun..
I think OKC prepared for the Lakers (perkins trade)....they didnt think of the Mavs.
From The Professional Heckler:
“The Miami Heat will beat the Dallas Mavericks in June. They will be crowned 2010-2011 NBA champs and LeBron James will finally receive his first ever championship ring.”
— American Christian radio broadcaster and preacher Harold Camping
;D ;D ;D
i beg to disagree with you on this bro tirso.i don't think okc will trade RW just yet.
rw for nash?
bad trade for okc imho.nash is almost 100 years old.sabi nga ni JVG,or was it mike breen?anyhow,sabi nila give him 2 or 3years,he will be an all nba talent.i wouldn't trade him just because of a bad WCF outing against a great dallas team.
my 2 cents. :)
I would not be too critical of OKC. They went further this year, and they are on pace in their development.
That is true of their two young stars too. I think RW received too much negativity. The criticism was well deserved, but not the negativity. You could say that Westbrook played no worse than the MVP who plays for the Bulls. Durant should also be criticized, as should Brooks. But this is not to be negative, this would be for their own good if they listen and learn. A couple of plays here and there in the 4thQ of the last two games and the Thunder would have been up 3-2 against everyone's new darling, Dallas, and heading home for the potential clincher. Not too bad. Not yet, but not too bad.
One good thing, I think, is that they discovered they have three stars, including Harden.
I haven't really seen much of KD playing but it seems that he has a pretty awkward shooting motion. Another observation is that Westbrook and Harden are both playing the same position and one will eventually be traded.
nash to NY knicks!!
;D
lumpo n billups eh...
on my earlier post, i stated that i noticed dirk suddenly went into the dugout while being called by the female emcee
heres why>
http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-110526/daily-dime
"With the cameras still rolling, Nowitzki didn't even stick around for the end of Wednesday night's trophy presentation.
He quietly took his congratulations and some high praise from a pretty fair scoring forward in his day named Rick Barry, slipped out of view while Mavs owner Mark Cuban handled interview duty with ESPN's Doris Burke ... and then high-stepped over the scorer's table to get the heck out of there. Like it was 2001 all over again.
..."All that celebration stuff," Nowitzki said, shaking his head at his locker as his voice trailed off.
"This is not what we play for, bro."
Not yet.

matindi ang hunger ni german-juggernaut para sa nba ring!
this i like. ;D
siguradong manginginig sa excitement ang bigote ni d antoni pag nangyari to...
60 wins to...
napansin ba niyo na walang team coach o players na ngumangawa sa officiating? oo, madaming bad calls pero hindi sila gaya nating mga pinoy pag natalo. reklamo, ngawa sila during the game pero pagtapos tikom na.
Reklamador din yung mga yun. Meron na kasing mahigpit na zero tolerance policy ang NBA tungkol sa pagrereklamo sa officiating ang NBA kaya nagpipigil na. Konting angal lang ngayun may tech na tapos may instant $1000+ fine pa. Tapos may instant suspension pa pag umabot sa 18 techs sa isang season. Sa playoffs pag may 7 techs may one game suspension na ata (Tyson Chandler currently has 5? techs this playoffs). Wag mo naman laitin ang karakter ng mga pinoy. Libre lang magreklamo dito.
ano nangyayari kay DWade? 6 TO already in the first half alone. ::)
oonga pero parang hindi ko nakita o narinig sa mga presscon na officiating ang dahilan sa pagkatalo nila.
ang paglalaro nila ang nagpapanalo o nagpapatalo.
___
Meron din kasing ganito:
5/8/11
The NBA fined Phil Jackson (LAL) $35,000 for his comments to the media on
Thursday about how the officials were not calling fouls committed on Pau
Gasol (LAL).
4/18/11
The NBA fined Nate McMillan (Por) $35,000 for his post-game comments
criticizing the officiating following Saturday's Por-Dal game.
etc

Sir, manila time ba ito... or EST.. so meaning, Wed, Fri, Mon sa atin (kapag manila time)? Thanks...
Llamado talaga Miami. And a championship for them will really build a case for the quick-fix approach to winning a title. Ibang-iba na talaga.
Wednesday AM sa atin ang Game 1.
Pag champion ang Heat expect other superstars to consider forming alliance with fellow A list players...hmmmmm

it really is a game changer, could be good or bad for the league. kawawa mga low market teams they will never see the light of day. lol.
im sure it will really trigger other all stars to think of building their own super teams.
Pag champion ang Heat expect other superstars to consider forming alliance with fellow A list players...hmmmmm

@waxx- pagkaisahan muna, anong dinner-prize ng winner. pagtapos lista mga sasali. parang magiging post season eb.
(dapat obligado pumunta ang mga talo. request sa location na losers serve the winners? then watch them gobble-up their prize hehehe)
pwede rin gumawa ng bank account ang pot holder tapos dun maghuhulog mga pupusta. ;D
Just caught D Rose's post game interview. We'll the guy's is just humble and kept on saying it's on him and his fault. Can't help but feel sorry for the guy. Unlike Lebron. Just really hate the guy's cockiness.
I guess that every fan of teams aside from Miami will root for Dallas just so that Lebron doesn't win.

Bakit di na lang ganito? Bluray ang premyo.
Mechanics:
1) Lagay mo gusto mo at kung magkano. Set na lang ng ceiling - P700?
2) Kunin lahat ng total.
3) If Mavs win, lahat ng tumaya sa Heat, bibilin yun blurays na gusto ng Mavs.
4) Bank account na nga lang at dapat mag agree yun lahat.
What do you think? At least, everytime you look at the BD masasabi mo napanalunan ko yan dahil nag champion team ko. Parang trophy.
Just a suggestion.
ok rin to, kaya lang limited sa mga may blurays lang.. i can offer my bank account for deposit.. tapos kay anya nalang oorder ng bluray..
;D
tapos dun sa mga mananalo, pwedeng i refund OR since money in the bank narin, ipambili narin ng bluray na gusto nila from anya.. kaya ang lalabas.. si anya ang panalo!!!
Pwede rin DVD no problem. Lagay lang yun gusto na title at how much.

Its just the beginning,...
And he is still very young and talented,
malaki pa ang magiging improvement nya...
I like his humility...
BWA HA HA HA HA HA....
hindi na nadala ang Bulls... sa huling laban nila (Game 4) sila ay natupok... ngayon namay sila ay tuluyang sumabog sa matinding init na dala ng HEAT...
hindi talaga umubra ang isang TORO sa isang nagniningas na APOY...
go go go Coach Eric...
gatungan pa ang nagbabagang apoy at init ng miami. roasted-bull na!
wala yan kina lolo jasonKidd ko ;D. kakain ng alikabok sa mga tanders yan. hehehe
heat- 3 lang ang talagang scorer. sa buong game. mavs- dirk, pero suporta si JT, sana mabuhayan din ang mga 3 ni peja. ang problema lang matchups. sinong magbabantay kina lbj at dw sa whole series.
I guess that every fan of teams aside from Miami will root for Dallas just so that Lebron doesn't win.
Tingnan lang natin kung sino ang kakain ng alikabok... ang REBELDENG BAKA o ang APOY...
As I said, the way Lebron is playing now and dominating the opposition he just might make it to the most hated player along with the Black Mamba. Price he has to pay for being a damn good player and being cocky about it.
bulls & kobe fans, here's your chance to get back at dpogs and the james gang. join the mavs/tanders bandwagon hehehe ;D
___
coming from you sir dpogs, i expect a certain degree of magnanimity in victory... ;D
the gathering of the force...
suportahan natin si Coach Eric... ngayon lang mangyari na magkakaroon ng halfbood Filipino coach ang NBA... lalo na kapag nagchampion ang MIAMI...
huwag masyado tapakan ang bulls at baka magkaron ng dpogs-haters club dito hehehe
1.
2.
3.....
bulls & kobe fans, here's your chance to get back at dpogs and the james gang. join the mavs/tanders bandwagon hehehe ;D
i like bulls dahil kay DRose (sportsmanship)... mas pinili ko lang ang MIAMI dahil kay Coach Eric... nagkataon na sila ang Big 3... dehado sila sa dami nang taong ayaw manalo... doon pa rin ako sa dehado...
siguro naman narealize ng bulls ngayon na DRose is not enough... they need LBJ/Bosh/Wade like plyers..
I'm a Laker Fan and cheers for Kobe. But I don't really hate Lebron. He's good. He's getting better. He's better in closing games now. And he's only 27. I don't hate him because in a way, I see Kobe in the guy. He's a competitor. He has passion for the game. Man, the guy will kill to win games. And he hates losing. The guy's a winner. This passion and intensity, coupled with some mind boggling moves and facial dunks, are often misconstrued as being "mayabang". Sa akin, ok lang mayabang ka basta magaling ka. I don't mind. Mahirap kung mayabang ka at walang ka naming binatbat. Malabo talaga yun.
I will cheer for the Heat because (1) I promised my son. (2) For Coach Erik Kabayan. But there's a part of me that wants Dirk and the Mavs to finally win at least one championship. Parang respeto na rin sa mga, well, tanders nga.
So it's gonna be a hell of fight!
so dapat sa mavs ka mag-cheer! ;D
dehado in terms of gaano karami ang ayaw mag champion ang MIAMI he he he.
sorry pero tama na yang pagka-pinoy angle ni eric. let people choose which team/players they like. parang hindi ko naman naramdaman na dala niya ang bandila ng pilipinas.
tsaka kanina, binuwenas talaga sa huli si lbj at dwade. ang binigay lang ni eric ay tiwala sa mga stars niya, and they did the rest
pusta na dpogs, lista na sa itaas! ;D
gusto ko nga rin manalo ang Dallas just to prove na age is not a main factor in winning (or losing) a game...
but for Coach Eric and bilang isang dehadong team... dito na ako sa MIAMI.
Binuwenas? Pre, hindi bwenas yun. Ginagawa talaga ng magagaling na player yun. Kung si Ilgauskus ang nag 4 point play, yun bwenas yun pero bro, si D Wade yun man. At si Lebron Raymone James, 2 time MVP at malapit ng magkaron ng first ring nag 3 points? Hindi bwenas yun. Great players WIN games. That's their job. Nothing else. D Rose, on the other hand, obviously at kitang kita ng buong mundo ( IN HD pa yun iba ) fell short. He couldn't lift his team up from a humiliating loss. Even missed an all important free throw, at homecourt. Walang bantay yun. Ni walang heckler sa crowd to distract him. Pulso lang ang kalaban mo. Na Ratatouille sya. Malas si Rose? I doubt it. Kulang pa? Malamang.
As for Erik, he does acknowledge that he's Pinoy. He was here before the season started right? And he was very vocal about being Pinoy.
Hehe puro grey areas ang pag root sa team ah...... ???
Ang gulo...... stay safe palagi......ano yun....para iwas sa ASAR?? ;D ;D ;D
Basta ako, Ill root for Mavs in this Finals.......it would be great for Dirk, Kidd, Marion and Peja to have rings....
If Heat wins.....asar na kung asar.........but I have to take my hat off to Coach Erik, Wade, Bosh and the "talent/skill of LBJ". 8) 8)
Sana mapaso ang Dallas sa game 1... at pagdating ng game 2... sila ay masunog... nang sa gayon sa game 3 sila ay matupok... para pagdating ng game 4... tuluyan na silang lamunin ng apoy ng HEAT... nang sa gayon ay umamo ang isang nagsusumigaw/nagrerebeldeng baka.
sweep the mavs... sweep the mavs...
now what good is an mvp, a coach of the year award, but no ring? ;D ::)
Let's Go Heat! Beat the Mavs!
And the curse continue ... 8 seasons na ang curse.

When the season started and when the Heat lost game opener to the Celtics, many said this team might not make it to the playoffs. Kasi puro superstar walang teamwork. When they lost 5 in a row, many said wala na talaga yan. Tanggal na sa trabaho si Erik. The Big 3 is japeyks. Then came playoffs. Sabi nila ( kasama ako ), di lulusot sa Celtics yan. Kesyo walang big man and walang pg. At kung lumusot man sa Celtics, sigurado yari sa Bulls yan.
Ngayon Finals na. Heat Vs Mavs. Ayoko na mapahiya ulit. Go Heat ;D
Tim Duncan was the last Regular Season MVP whose team won that season's NBA Championship - 2002-03.
correct me if im wrong pero si MJ yata suki sa regular season mvp at nba finals mvp din. na-break lang ni charles barkeley at karlmalone .

hindi lang siguro kandila kailangan ko para sa Dallas... kailangan na sigurong magpamisa o dili kayay mag papray over...
parehong uhaw sa kampeonato ang dalawang koponan... tsk... badtrip.
Not counting Magic because although PG siya he is 6'9, is there a team in our generation that had the championship with the PG as thier main star player except Isaiah Thomas with the Pistons... Can't think of any other kasi its either the star player is a center, forward or shooting guard lagi but never a PG...
The 2004 Pistons had Billups but it was more of a team effort than a single player standing out in that series...
Scottie Pippen just said he thinks Michael Jordan is greatest scorer of all time but LeBron could be greatest player of all time
^Di kaya naglalaro lang sila ng 2K11, haha.
"You can't guard me, Coach!"
"Never mind, neither can the Heat."
kasi kung pure PG, more on playmaker like jasonKidd. hindi talaga magiging high scoring.
si IT (detroit) scorer din at ably supported ng bad boys - billLambier, dennisRodman, vinnieJohnson adrian dantley markaguirre john sally. si magic naman may LewAlcindor, jameworthy- both high scorers, byronscott at michael cooper,jamaal wilkes. si larrybird may natearchibald/dennisjohnson para isetup sila ni kevinMchale at robertparish
yup i understand this sir... but there has been a slew of great PG's in our time that are the main men of teams like stockton, nash, kidd (when he was still at his prime) and now CP3, D-Will and Derrick Rose but the ever elusive championship for a PG star player is still not there.
Stockton had a great team back then and so did Nash in Dallas and Phoenix, but no ring... doesn't it baffle you that the greatest players in what is considered the most imporatant position in the starting 5 can't win even with ample support... yet the other positions have proven they can win even without a star quality PG.
But MJ took it even to another level, winning 6 championships without a star quality PG and Center whew...
malas ni stockton'tumalon', kasabayan nila si MJ ;D
hehehe I'll agree to that ;)
and the PG curse continues...

yup tony's got rings but the star of the spurs is tim duncan.
Nope. That particular championship year, it was Parker who carried the Spurs to the title.
He was MVP right?

The comments were made on an ESPN Radio program. So, that's ok ... no harm done ...
Si LeBron, kinailangan makipag teammate sa mga superstar. Si Michael Jordan hindi. Kahit nag sina Bugs Bunny at Lola Bunny ang teammates ni MJ napa-champion niya.
Dapat si Jawo agad mag coach sa Kings! Daming technical fouls nun! hehehe
Cousins...this is you........Tyreke...this is you!! ;D ;D

Pag natuloy yung pag bili ni Manny Pangilinan sa Sacramento Kings, plus binibili nya din yung channel 13 to make it a sports and news station, di kaya kunin na din nya NBA broadcast license dito? Susulutin nya sa solar?
I heard they are already making an offer to coach Erik Spoelstra to couch Sacramento next season kse nga gusto ni MP pinoy (at least half) anf magiging coach ng kings. Tapos si Pat Riley daw eh in contact with Phil Jackson for probable Miami Heat gig next season if Erik falls out. Pero tsismis lang to. I doubt it kse sobrang galing pinakita ni coach Erik S. na kahit matalo sila sa Mavs sa finals ok na ok pa rin syang mag best coach kay LBJ and Wade.
Dapat si Jawo agad mag coach sa Kings! Daming technical fouls nun! hehehe
If MVP will buy the Kings, malamang eto mga coach na pagpipilian - Chot Reyes (Talk n Text), Norman Black(Ateneo) or Frankie Lim(San Beda) ;D
as far as i know,mas magaling pa din si rodman kesa kay lbj (kung rings lang basihan) ;D
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2944/gollum20100219aatheory.jpg)buti pa sya me ring na, talo pa nya c JAMES ;D
Eto may ring ;D OT
Go Dallas Go!!!
I think assistant coach duties will be the realistic possibility for our local coaches. And maybe the first Filipino NBA player?? MVP must have controlling stake..... :)

eto nman..sawa n ko kay MJ eh...
is dirk better than bird? 4get the rings,,lets just talk about talent...
ako tingin ko mas magaling #41....pero mas matalino/madiskarte maglaro si LB
Dirk is the better shooter but overall, i think Bird is better than Dirk. Bird has a career average of 24 points and 10 rbs. he can not only score from the outside but also shoots well in the inside unlike dirk who has most of his points coming from the outside. Bird is also a better defender and rebounder than Dirk.

folks please advise me if i should be opening a new thread or pwede na ding isakay sa thread na ito, im just wondering what happened to several players na magagaling pero bigla na lang nawala, bakit kaya sila nawala.
1. Xavier Mc Daniels
2. Shawn Kemp - became a drug addict
3. Tony Kukoc - played for Milwaukee after the Bulls' 2nd three-peat then retired
4. Latrell Sprewell - i think he retired in Minnesota
5. Yung puting player na tawag nila the Great White Way ba yun nasa Sixers dati na number 55 kamukha ni
leonardo di caprio
6. Steve Smith, alam ko analyst na pero bakit biglang nawala after ng pagsikat nya sa Hawks - plagued with injuries
7. Yung PG dati ng Bulls na number 1 pick tapos naaksidente sa motor Jay Williams yata yun - didn't not play anymore. career ending yung accident nya.

Rodman has 5 rings (2 with Detroit and 3 with Chicago), and zero belt in Wrestling ;D
Sabi ko nga, kung padamihan ng rings si Horry mas magaling kay Jordan. 7 rings si Horry eh ;D
Eto naman po sakin:
PG - Walt Frazier
SG - MJ
SF - Larry Bird
sa context lang ng mga superstars. kasi ang ring binibigay sa lahat ng members ng champion team.
maikukumpara mo ba si kurt rambis kay karl malone? may ring si kurt (LA), wala si karl.
Ah wala, basta para sa akin Adam Morrison/Darko> Lebron, because they both have rings! ;D
Also Adam Morrison's Moustache>Lebron's Mustache. End of discussion.
hindi william nakal;imutan ko lang madalas din ma trade yun eh number 55 last ko sya nakita sa sixers mahaba mag medyas
hindi william nakal;imutan ko lang madalas din ma trade yun eh number 55 last ko sya nakita sa sixers mahaba mag medyas
Precisely my point! Nadali mo rin yun gusto kong sabihin bro. Using your example, tama ka. Si Karl walang ring but he is definitely, without an iota of doubt, way better than this bespectacled Rambis.
That's why, my premise in my statement was "kung padamihan ng rings", Horry is the man. But he's not right? Kasi nga hindi talaga padamihan ng rings. And as you yourself mentioned, using your Malone vs Rambis example, rings are nice to have but not prerequisite to greatness. So if not rings, what then? Statistics definitely. Quantifiable eh. Numbers don't lie. Then we take in consideration qualitatives like impact to the game, athleticism, competitive streak, ability to close out games, etc etc.
Eto siguro ang nakita ni Pip when he uttered that "LBJ is better than MJ" remark. Not now definitely. But at the rate LBJ is going great guns, I will not be surprised if he overtakes Kobe first, and then Jordan. Maybe sooner than we think he can.
yung lbj mj comparison parang too soon..
e yung lbj pippen comparison? parang kung tutuusin may laban diba?
pip may not be as dominant as lbj, pero maski paano mapapaisip ka rin...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tObgS6uUVjQ
IF hindi mag-champion miami heat. may marinig ka kaya sa greatness ni lbj? ::)
Hindi pa nga nag champion eh, may nagsabi na na greatest player sya. At hindi ako nagsabi. Si Scottie Pippen! Teammate ni Michael Jordan ;D
Pano pag nag champion pa ang mama? According to Bloomberg News makakarinig tayo ng ingay worth $4 Billion, and sa China pa lang yun. Sus ginoo.
kung di mag ka RING lbj at the end oh his career...i will consider him the best player who has not won a championship..and i will still wear his jersey...even if horry's got how many? 6-7?
i havent seen a horry jersey?is there any?here?
lahat naman halos ng great players may bahid eh...hehehe just my cent... ;D
maski 8-10 rings makuha ni lbj, may bahid na ang career niya. ask cleveland fans and other sports afficionados. ;D
well, haters just keep on hating. kahit sino namang player kahit anong accomplishment makuha nya if people hate him then walang makakabago sa isip ng mga tao. mag-iisip at mag-iisip ng reason ang mga tao para i-hate yung player na yun. i used to hate LBJ kaso nag-Miami sya eh kaya i don't hate him anymore but DWade is still my favorite player.
Good example of this is MLB's and NYY's Roger Maris who held the record for most homeruns with 61 for 48 years and a lot of people hate him back then. even NYY fans.
barkley is the only player i know that most people love to hate..
kindly check all my nba posts. hindi ko hate si lbj. pero imho very premature na ikumpara siya kay MJ.
kundi nga sentimental choice ko dallas mavs, i would have rooted for miami kasi masyado malakas nga ang big3. nga lang walang gaano bench support.
naging formula na ngayon na hindi lang isang franchise player meron ang team kundi 2 o 3 pa para mag champion. shaq/kobe, kg,pp,ra celts. now lbj dw cb. buti nga kobe nadala sa 2 championships ang LA maski wala na si shaq. umubra ng 2 ang partnership nila ni philjax.
kaya sabi ni JNoah sa miami heat- hollywood as hell. ;D

For LeBron James, he can never win back many of the fans he lost after "The Decision" who were saddened by the lack of confidence he showed as he gave up on his dream to be, as his tattoo says, "The Chosen One" to take over MJ's throne.
For Dwyane Wade, the assembling of "The Heatles" in Miami meant admitting that his championship in 2006 was more of Shaq's doing than his own and signaling to his fans that adding only Chris Bosh would not be enough either.
Shaq did the same thing when he decided to go to LA for the glitz and glamour instead of sticking it out with the Magic but he did not receive the same hate and criticism that LBJ got although it was more because of "The Decision" and he already apologized about it. Still, a lot of people hate him and even criticized him for his apology (Chris Webber), what gives? he even received a lot of hate and criticism for what Pippen said. take note, it was Pippen who made that statement but LBJ got most of it.
Regarding measuring success with rings, IMO it's basically a tie breaker after stats are considered. For example when comparing Karl Malone and Tim Duncan as best PF ever...
Malone: 25 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 3.6 apg, 1.4 spg, 0.7 bpg, 2 time MVP
Duncan: 20.6 ppg, 11.4 rpg, 3.1 apg, 0.7 spg, 2.3 bpg, 2 time MVP
Very similar career averages right? But what puts TD over is those 4 rings.

Barkley career averages also mirrors them..... 22.1ppg/11.7rpg/3.9ast/1.5stls/.8bpg 1 time mvp
But he's under discussion among the two coz he's also ringless and relatively his last 5 years ring chasing, he got injured too often (look at Shaq now).
I agree. Shows though that Malone, better offensive player. Duncan better at defense.
Di na cguro....hehe....
now if he goes back to cleveland and win a couple, pwede pa.. who knows, baka he might come back home and win a couple....
for me, even though TD has 4 rings, i'd still choose Malone over TD.
sana lang.. lbj didnt dump cleveland..
if he stuck it out with cleveland, then came the sidekicks then the championships... then he will be up there amongst the ranks of mj...
no matter if he wins 10 rings with miami, he will still be beyond comparison with mj..
now if he goes back to cleveland and win a couple, pwede pa.. who knows, baka he might come back home and win a couple....
Now, if you were the team owner and given the opportunity to choose, sino pipiliin mo? Given everything else equal and wag na muna i consider yun greatness ni Jordan which actually happened in the second half of his career, would you still pick Jordan over Lebron? I believe more coaches will definitely go for an all around, complete player.
I would still actually choose Jordan. With MJ, you can already expect a great impact from his play the moment he first steps on the floor. With Lebron, hahanap ka pa ng ibang impact players to surround him para maging effective siya.

Same lang naman with Jordan. He wasn't very much successful sa playoffs until Pippen arrived in 1987. malas lang ni LBJ walang dumating na "Pippen" sa kanya while he was with Cleveland.
Good point. But given the level of play now, you really need more than 1 impact player. Actually, you need a big 3! Di na uubra yun isa lang. Look what happened to DRose, kinuyog. 1 against 3. Poor MVP. Pinagtulungan eh. It is also highly possible, although again this in hindsight, that the Bulls would have gotten another impact player to help Jordan kung ganito ang labanan noon. Baka di rin kayanin ni MJ mag-isa. MJ versus the the Big 3? Kaya kaya yun?

I'm not talking about just playoff performance. Jordan was electrifying on his own. Competitive na kagad yun bulls the moment he stepped on the floor. Yun pre-Pippen pa nga...I think 2nd season ni Jordan when he got injured during the regular season. He literally carried the Bulls from a losing season and he alone was the sole reason why they got into the playoffs. Tapos yun yata yun 69 point game niya versus Boston.
Alam ko na po! Si Keith Van Horn! Sayang nga po sya pero he retired for the sake of the family, Because his family means more to him than money. hindi dahil sa na-injured sya...

Last played ata sa Dallas Mavericks Sir Tirso ;)
barkley is the only player i know that most people love to hate..
But times have changed I guess. Medyo radical lang talaga yun ginawa ni LBJ. The manner by which it was done was. uhhh, cold blooded. But can we blame the guy? Only time will tell again if his decision was right or wrong. So far, LBJ has been proving his critics ( me included ) wrong. The Heat has annihilated top teams like the Bulls and former champion Boston. Lalo na pag nag champion pa Miami Heat. That would vindicate Lebron's decision. Critics will say, why? Jordan won't do that! But inamin na nga ni Lebron. Hwag na daw sya i compare kay Jordan. Sabi nya madami pa sya kakainin to reach Jordan's status. Humble na nga yun tao hahaha. I think all he wants is to win championships. That's all. Can't really blame the guy.
And comparing Lebron to a retired Jordan is I think not correct. Hindi apples to apples nga. What I did was compare Lebron's first 8 seasons with that of MJ's. Fair enough right?
MJ (1984-1991) LBJ (2003-2011)
No of Championships 1 pending ( baka 1 din ;D)
FG% 51% 48%
PTS TOTAL 19,000 17,362
3 PTS MADE 206 863
ASSISTS 3,507 4,364
TOTAL REBOUNDS 3,697 4,451
BLOCKS 623 532
STEALS 1,412 1,079
I would assume Pip was looking at this too. Jordan may have more points and better FG% but Lebron has more rebounds, more assists and more 3 points shot than MJ when you compare their first 8 years in the NBA. Thus, the statement MJ is a better scorer but Lebron is, according to stats, the better all around player definitely has basis here. May assist, rebound at malupet yun 3 points nung LBJ pre. Now, if you were the team owner and given the opportunity to choose, sino pipiliin mo? Given everything else equal and wag na muna i consider yun greatness ni Jordan which actually happened in the second half of his career, would you still pick Jordan over Lebron? I believe more coaches will definitely go for an all around, complete player.
Yup that may be so. But when you draft Jordan, You are assured that you are competitive every night. Pwede nga losing season kayo but you get a sense na in every game, you had a chance to win. With Lebron, alam mo not to expect to be competitive right away until you can get more impact players.
Lebron not that competitive? His stats say otherwise.
On his rookie year, after recording a season-high 41 points against the New Jersey Nets, James became the youngest player in league history to score at least 40 points in a game. The Cavaliers improved by 18 wins and concluded the regular season with a 35–47 record, but failed to make the playoffs.
On his sophomore year, James became the youngest player in league history to record a triple-double and make the All-NBA Team.
On his third year, James became the youngest player in NBA history to average at least 30 points. He became the fourth player in NBA history to average more than 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in a single season. The Cavaliers made the playoffs for the first time since 1998 and improved from a record of 17–65 in 2002–03 to 50–32 in 2005–06.
He carried the Cavs single handedly from a lottery team to a playoff contender, ON HIS 3rd YEAR IN THE NBA.
Pretty impressive stats, any way you look at it.
Then came the "decision". Result? Lebron on his way to getting his first ring, on his 8th year in the NBA.
si jordan may kasalanan ng lahat..bkit ba kasi ang galing galing niya..kawawa tuloy un mga players ngaun sa knya nakukumpara lagi..na iistress tuloy lalo at ninenerbiyos...hehehe
buti pa si iverson..gumawa ng sariling pangalan..pinakapasaway na pinakamagaling...hehehe
Same lang naman with Jordan. He wasn't very much successful sa playoffs until Pippen arrived in 1987. malas lang ni LBJ walang dumating na "Pippen" sa kanya while he was with Cleveland.

All eyes on this fellow tomorrow. Is the Chosen One for real? ;D
no doubt jordan is a hell of a player but during the times the bulls were lording it over, i dont think jordan can claim he caused the championship on his own, great coach, great supporting cast, it was a perfect blend of things and during those times, the bulls has everyhting that a team needed to win championship, jordans offensive expolit became apparent because of the very good team defense of the bulls, luc longley may not be a superstar then but he is one of the best at his position, rodman makes the best number 4 and number 5 players of the opponent bleed for their rebounds and points, harper makes it horrible for the superstar of the opposing team, steve kerr and paxson makes a very good option to pass to in case pippen and jordan gets defended well.
funny thing about it, we always talk about jordan with the bulls but i dont recall any discussion about how jordan is when he came back from retirement. i believe he is the same jordan then but not the same supporting cast.
if that bulls would probabaly play right now, i dont think it will be the same result.
the game evolves quickly, the same formula or team composition that worked before may not be as effective now
i guess choosing the best player really depends on the perspective of the one who chooses it, so para sa akin, lahat ng sinabi nyo talagang pwedeng the best player there is.
Hindi ba Wednesday pa?
Manila time nga pala. Sorry ha...
Isang araw pa tayong mag LBJ vs MJ? Haaaayyy....
yan ang meron si MJ na wala sa stats- aside from leadership, making your teammates look good, confident. it always seemed that philjax is on autopilot. mag-2hand whistle lang siya, ayos na! MJ entrusted the last shot to johnpaxon and stevekerr. i-trust din kaya ni lbj kay mike miller ang last possible game-winning shot? abangan...
tim duncan is like brad daugherty with rings....ahehehehe...
+1
Malone for me still tops Duncan. Duncan is really a center. So if you put his stats among the best centers, it would pale in comparison. But stats sometimes are not really a barometer of how good a player is. Barkley indicated before that if you pit these players all at their primes, Duncan, Malone & McHale....he considers McHale as the best power forward of all time.
Pretty much sums up Duncan's career....underrated in a sense that he is anti hollywood. Boring game. Boring personality........so his career is taking much for granted.
nawawal sa comparison si Kobe... ha ha ha... isama niyo naman ... kawawa naman eh...
lagi na lang MJ and LJ...
I have to say McHale (and Hakeem) has the most number of post moves in the NBA. All time. Hakeems moves were graceful. McHale's are mechanical, akward. But based on varying moves, up and unders, step throughs, baby hooks, fadeaways, drop steps...he was tough to guard....and maybe Barkley couldnt keep with him especially in his Sixer days.
Low post players with the post moves of McHale, Hakeem and Duncan......very rare nowadays.
nawawal sa comparison si Kobe... ha ha ha... isama niyo naman ... kawawa naman eh...

jordan pa din,hindi lang naman stats pinag uusapan dito kundi pati yung leadership qualities ng isang player.jordan knows when to take over the game and when to pass.he also makes his teammates look good (samantalang yung isa,wade made james look good).saka si jordan relishes the thought of beating the best not joining them.saka tawag kay lebron "king james" di ba?meron bang king na lumilipat ng kaharian?di ba he is supossed to be immovable?saka kung ako yung coach di ko kukunin yung isang player na nambabanga ng coach tapos wala man lang sorry,parang walang nangyari ;D

and the best included magicJ,kareemaj,larrybird,isaiahT,clyde d,charlesB,NiqueWilkins among others, mga pang top50.you are right sir,si jordan kahit maraming playoffs failure di sya sumuko sa team nya.never recalled him looking for another team just to boost his chances of winning a championship. yung patience nya sa teammates at sa sarili nya to grow until mahinog sila for a championship ring nandun.
kings conquer, they dont change kingdoms.
di kaya may identity crisis pa si lbj at dw. sinong batman, sino robin? ;D
Magic Johnson said, "There's Michael Jordan and then there is the rest of us." Larry Bird, following a playoff game where Jordan dropped 63 points on the Boston Celtics in just his second season, appraisal of the young player was: "God disguised as Michael Jordan.
not on the first year but on Pippen's 2nd year when he became a starter that's when they started winning in the playoffs.yes,but we all know who led the team right?ni hindi nga naging all star si pippen until 1990
interesting fact from nba.com:wtf!did'nt the bulls swept the heat prior to playoffs?
How many games have the Mavs lost to Miami since the 2006 Finals?
None. They are 10-0 since watching the Heat raise the O'Brien Trophy on their home floor.
you are right sir,si jordan kahit maraming playoffs failure di sya sumuko sa team nya.never recalled him looking for another team just to boost his chances of winning a championship. yung patience nya sa teammates at sa sarili nya to grow until mahinog sila for a championship ring nandun.
btw trivia, hindi top draft pick si MJ. si sam perkins ang top pick noon.
Yun draft class ni MJ....si Sam Perkins? Di ba si Hakeem yun followed by Sam Bowie?

point here is he wouldn't be able to achieve some of the things that he's accomplished like winning a championship without help from his team mates most specially Pippen. both of them helped each other out when after every practice they would play 1-on-1 against each other to hone their skills offensively and defensively which in turn got their chemistry together and resulted in 6 NBA championships.
di kya dahil na rin sa money offer kaya di siya umalis sa bulls?
Pretty much sums up Duncan's career....underrated in a sense that he is anti hollywood. Boring game. Boring personality........so his career is taking much for granted.
Underrated coz he was the best player in 4 title teams. Played 2 with a just declining David Robinson in 1999..a near to retire in 2003. His main support in 05 n 07 are pasang-awa allstars in Manu and TP.
4 rings with rosters that on paper would say "They must have overachieved..." Duncan has a lot do with it. So in my book....Greatest PF in the NBA all time. ;)

magaling noon si MJ... magaling ngayon si LJ...
kahit anong kumpara gawin natin... mas magaling pa rin NGAYON si LJ...
ang ikumpara natin mga naglalaro ngayon... sino ba pinakamagaling sa kanila... sino ba pinakamagaling sa NBA 2011... DRose ba? Kobe ba? Lebron ba? Dirk ba? Wade ba?
since natalo na Lakers at Bulls... Lebron na lang natitira...
at isa pa, kung ang star player ng magkakampeon na team ang pinakamagaling, sino ba kina James at Wade isama pa natin si Bosh ang matuturingan pinakamagaling kung magkakampeon sila?
Interesting turn of discussion, about PFs. There's not too much discussion about the 4 spot.
Here are some PFs who have won the MVP award. Anong opinion niyo mga boys...

There are many list of the greatest power forwards in the NBA but I tend to agree on this one:
http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2005-07-08/best-all-time-power-forwards (http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2005-07-08/best-all-time-power-forwards)
Problema sa Mavs si Dirk lang din ang scorer nila. Lahat role players.
Last 2006 i routed for Miami and Wade.
Ngayon, Mavs ako! Ayaw ko talaga si Lebron eh kahit aminado ako na magaling sya (minsan). Meron kse syang negative vibes - di maganda. In fact dahil sa negative vibes nya, nahawaan niya si Wade ayun medyo negative na din sa akin si Wade.
Sana manalo Mavs!
jason terry, peja s., s.marion even barea and jason kidd- all can provide scoring support for dirk any given night.
ang maganda sa mavs, willingly sacrifice sila para manalo. maski hindi maging starter, o mababad sa laro. basta sa diskarte at control bahala si jasonK at sa main scoring si dirk.
well, i can say the same thing for the Heat. the big three (or 2 and a half depending on one's opinion) even accepted a pay cut for them to be able to play together even though they can get maximum contracts with other teams. UD rejected huge offers from other teams and even gave way from being a starter.
you can't say Mavs lang willing mag sacrifice kasi teams won't be able to reach the finals if the didn't sacrifice anything.

ang paglipat ba ni Lebron ay nagpapakita ng kaduwagan o humility?
puwede bang tingnan na ang paglipat ni LJ ay ang pagkilala sa sarili niya na hindi niya kayang mag-isa ang kampeonato? na kailangan niya ng katulong para maging kampeon... wala man lang ba nakaisip na ang ginawa niya ay parang pag-amin na hindi siya malakas then... meron siyang humility.
or ang paglipat niya nagpakita ng pagiging sigurista niya.
ang paglipat ba ni Lebron ay nagpapakita ng kaduwagan o humility?tingin ko lack of trust,to himself,to his teammates,to his coach and to the city of cleveland

Ok I think halos lahat tayo lumaki playing basketball maski umuulan.depende yan sir.pag team player ka mas gusto mo magaling din kakampi mo.pag selfish ka at pasikat gusto mo yung teammate mo yung tipong taga labas lang ng bola ;D marami sa barangay namin nyan dati
So sino sa inyo yung mas gustong kakampi ay bano kesa magagaling? hehe
Maski nga sa tennis, mas masarap kalaro ang magaling (lalo na kung bano ka pa), imbes na bano. Sa golf lang nakakainis yung kasabay mo ay magaling pero ang kalaban mo naman kasi sa golf ay sarili mo. hehe
I think he and Ray Allen are undoubtedbly the hardest working players when it come to practicing their shooting...i think our very own allan caidic has got the sweetest stroke with matching kung fu on the side...hehehe
Allen has the sweetest stroke.. It's like every shot will go in..

i think he has enough trust with his teammates and his coach. the one that he doesn't trust is the organization. kung wala sya trust sa mga kakampi nya hindi naman ganun kataas yung assist average ni LBJ and one reason kung bakit umalis sya ng Cleveland also is when the Cavs fired coach Mike Brown. If he didn't trust his coach back then he wouldn't agree with the Lakers signing Mike Brown as their new head coach.

Ang nauna ata sa ganyan lipatan at combine power ng mga superstars LA LAKERS eh -
2003 - 2004 Lakers:
Shaq
Karl Malone
Kobe Bryant
Gary Payton
tapos sa bench: Horace Grant, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox
si lbj yan rite?
si mj gusto talunin ang da best! nagpahinog siya at di naman basta nahinog si scottie. at walang ibang superstars sa bulls kundi siya lang. =6rings.
oo maaaring magkaron ng isa pang dynasty si pat riley ala-showtime lakers na may 3 din stars kareem magic at jamesW- all top50. lbj wade cbosh, same formula? ;D ::)
at natalo sila sa Finals...
huwan nawa mangyari sa Heat ... he he he
ano ba talaga basehan ng isang magaling na basketball players all time best player... rings? stats? or combination ring and stats?
oo na magaling na MJ ... noon un... pero ngayon... sa NBA 2011... 3 na lang natitirang magagaling... Lebron, Wade at Dirk...
di talaga uubra na ipagkumpara ang mga player noon sa player ngayon... kahit na isimulate ng isang computer program...
tapos na panahon ni MJ... panahon na ngayon nina LJ...
"...of all time" - eh di accomplishments, championships, rings. intangibles - sticking it out thru thick or thin, characater, intangibles- making your teammates look good, become good, instilling confidence in them by trusting them.
mj did not want to play side by side with the best coz he wanted to beat them and be the best of the best!
bagsak na dito sa Jordan... nagmumura ng teammates to eh.. nangbabatok pa... he he he...
at ngayon, na-highlight ba yan? when all's said and done anong tumatak? the greatest di ba?
kaya niya siguro lampasan un rings ni kobe if ever....ang di niya lang malalampasan un kay wade... ;D
Ang nauna ata sa ganyan lipatan at combine power ng mga superstars LA LAKERS eh -parang nauna nagsanib pwersa sila barkley,olajuwon saka pippen sa houston.pero may napanood ako nuon na nagsanib pwersa din sa la sila west,baylor saka wilt chamberlain para pataubin yung celtics pero nanalo pa din celtics sa championship kahit wala masyadong superstar saka matanda na nuon si bill russel (player coach pa ata sya nuon)
2003 - 2004 Lakers:
Shaq
Karl Malone
Kobe Bryant
Gary Payton
tapos sa bench: Horace Grant, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox
bagsak na dito sa Jordan... nagmumura ng teammates to eh.. nangbabatok pa... he he he...mj is a winner,he will do whatever it takes to win.yung iba kasi ang motto "i will got to any team that will give me a championship rings".hahaha.
Dwight Howard says his preference is to stay with the Orlando Magic and 'start his own path'
By Josh Robbins, Orlando Sentinel
9:05 p.m. EDT, May 30, 2011
Responding to speculation that he wants to jump to a bigger market when he can became a free agent next year, superstar center Dwight Howard indicated Monday that his strong preference is to remain with the Orlando Magic for the long term.
"I'm not trying to run behind nobody like Shaq or be behind somebody else," Howard said, referencing Shaquille O'Neal's decision to leave the Magic following the 1995-96 season and sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I want to start my own path and I want people to follow my path and not just follow somebody else's path. I want to have my own path, and I want to start that here in Orlando. But I can't do it alone. Not only do I need the right teammates, but I need the city behind me. That's the only way it's going to get done. We can change this small city that we have — this small market that we have — and we can make it a big market."
Howard made his comments in a one-on-one interview with the Orlando Sentinel during a free barbecue that he held for fans Monday afternoon at Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake. Howard came up with the idea for the event around 1 a.m. Monday; one of his goals, he said, was to ease fans' concerns that he might leave the team.

mj is a winner,he will do whatever it takes to win.yung iba kasi ang motto "i will got to any team that will give me a championship rings".hahaha.
saka si jordan kaya masasabi mo na one if not one of the greatest kasi alam din nya kung papaano i motivate ang isang teammate nya.take note :sometimes to motivate a person you need to give word of encouragement,minsan a pat on the back pero minsan din may may taong kailangan mong itulak o sampalin (parang eto na ata yung gustong gawin ni phil jackson kay gasol nung game 3 or game 4 vs dallas eh ;D ).pero may narinig ba tayo sa ex teammates nya na nagreklamo kung papaano sila trinato ni jordan nuon?pagkaalam ko wala,nagpapasalamat pa nga sila kay jordan naging teammates sila at nakatikim ng championship.
ang nakakatawa lang talaga sa 'decision' ni lbj is siya lang yata ang reigning MVP na lumipat sa ibang team to join another superstar.. to think... nasa prime pa siya of his career. parang baliktad diba?sigurista hehehe kaya nga ayaw sumali sa SLAM DUNK CONTEST baka matalo ;D ;D
sigurista hehehe kaya nga ayaw sumali sa SLAM DUNK CONTEST baka matalo ;D ;D
VERY PREMATURE para ikumpara si lbj. lampasan muna niya si kobe! ;D

angat pa rin si LJ kahit may dalawang star player sa heat...

as for his comparison with MJ, LBJ can not be compared to MJ. MJ is MJ. LBJ is LBJ. Unless, LBJ gets more than 6 rings and 5 MVPs we can never compare him to MJ. ;D
wala kasi gusto ni mj, sinusunog pinapakain niya ng alikabok yung mga superstars, beating the best. kaya nga sabi ni magicJ - theres the resst of us, then there's mj. above the best of em.
6-FINALS MVP ;D ;D ;D
100%
at walang identity crisis, alam kung sino si batman at sino si robin. mj /scottie
eh lbj, KAILANGAN si dwade at cbosh para manalo.
Stat-wise, looks like Lebron was the best player. But if you look closely who carried the Heat in game 1, it was Wade. Midway through the 4th, it was Wade who caused the separation between the Heat and the Mavs. Lebron was actually invisible for a 5 minute stretch.
When it was money time, Lebron was nowhere to be found. But after Wade made it a 9pt lead with a couple of minutes left, Lebron became aggressive again kasi malaki na ang lamang and almost a won ballgame na. So the pressure is off na for him to deliver. Wade is the hero in game 1. Such is the career of Lebron James. Buti na lang nandun si Wade para saluhin si Lebron.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just published a letter about MJ and LBJ. He disagreed with Pippen, and disagreed with everyone who disagreed with Pippen, and disagrees with everyone here at pdvd hehe.
KAJ says Wilt and Russell are greater than MJ.
Since "the greatest" is not a real result but, in the end, merely an opinion, it all boils down to whose opinion has more weight with you.
With me, KAJ's opinion has more weight than Scottie's and the opinion of anyone else who's voiced an opinion on this topic anywhere in the world in the last week. Yun lang. Here's the link...

Back to 2011. Ricky Rubio just let the deadline pass for signing for next year, under the current CBA. Will he still sign, albeit at a lower salary? I'd like to see how his game transfers to the NBA.
Stat-wise, looks like Lebron was the best player. But if you look closely who carried the Heat in game 1, it was Wade. Midway through the 4th, it was Wade who caused the separation between the Heat and the Mavs. Lebron was actually invisible for a 5 minute stretch.
When it was money time, Lebron was nowhere to be found. But after Wade made it a 9pt lead with a couple of minutes left, Lebron became aggressive again kasi malaki na ang lamang and almost a won ballgame na. So the pressure is off na for him to deliver. Wade is the hero in game 1. Such is the career of Lebron James. Buti na lang nandun si Wade para saluhin si Lebron.
habang tumatagal...gumagaling lalo ang HEAT....Go HEAT...

wala kasi gusto ni mj, sinusunog pinapakain niya ng alikabok yung mga superstars, beating the best. kaya nga sabi ni magicJ - theres the resst of us, then there's mj. above the best of em.
6-FINALS MVP ;D ;D ;D
100%
at walang identity crisis, alam kung sino si batman at sino si robin. mj /scottie
eh lbj, KAILANGAN si dwade at cbosh para manalo.
yup, the scary thing is they are still improving and has yet to reach their full potential. :D

Miami is Wade's team. He has already proven that when he single handedly carried his team to sweep Dallas 4-0 and win the NBA championship for Miami after losing their first 2 games.
di ba kasama nya si shaq nun?
angat talaga heat kasi at any given time 3, 2 o isang superstar ang nasa loob.
hirap ang mavs sa matchups, hindi pa nila na-control rebound. brendanhaywood needs to improve more on his freethrows para maging offensive threat siya. kasi parang naiilang ipasa sa kanya, sayang 1 o 2pts pag mintis
slump pa si peja, at inconsistent kanina si jasonterry, kinulang sa scoring support si dirk. hindi naman naging offensive minded si jkidd kasi gusto niya ma-involve sa opensa mga teammates niya. sana more points from jkidd next game
I love how Kareem ended his letter:
"Affectionately, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer"
nice!
btw, sino ba unang nagpakalbo, si kaj o mj?
parang kayang kaya ng heat un mavs kumpara s bulls.. ;D
peja di nakaporma...si marion pinaiiskor ng heat eh..halatang halata..
parang ever since ata si KAj kalbo na?
a ok.so may buhok pala nuon before nag convert. :)
on a sidenote,yare lalo dallas.injured pa si dirk. :'(
Yes! 1-0 ... 3 more wins to go. Let's Go Heat! Beat the Mavs!
sweep the mavs... sweep the mavs... sweep the mavs...
pero parang gusto kong kumampi sa mavs (dahil kay Kidd).
pag wala un 24 pts ni lbj...talo sila.. ;D
are'nt you exaggerating a bit sir?
Many in the thread kept saying the Heat played tremendous offense by out shooting Dirk and the Mavs. For me, you can never outshoot a team with a lineup such as the Mavs. All first five players CAN score 20 points and more.
settled na ako sa ganito...
magaling noon (era niya) si MJ...
magaling ngayon (era ngayon) si LJ...
kung paramihan ng ring... talo si MJ ng iba...
kung highest scorer... talo si MJ ng iba...
o di ba... hindi si MJ ang greatest player he he he...
Mavs ako. Kaya pa yan, game 1, road game. Dapat manalo na Mavs sa game2... Dapat mag-click ang bench ng Dallas, lalo si Peja at JJ.
On topic of greatest player all time, agree ako kay KAJ. Bill Russell pa rin best sa akin all-time (11 rings). Kahit 1st year niya as playing coach, champion pa rin. Argueably, Jerry West is also one of the greatest, being the NBA's icon.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just published a letter about MJ and LBJ. He disagreed with Pippen, and disagreed with everyone who disagreed with Pippen, and disagrees with everyone here at pdvd hehe.problema lang kasi di sya naabutan nung iba kaya di din masabi.saka napanood ko sa video magagaling din mga teammates nya nuon kaya sila naging dynasty.at bihira pa yata yung mga matatangkad nun ang ka match lang nya yata si chamberlain
KAJ says Wilt and Russell are greater than MJ.
Since "the greatest" is not a real result but, in the end, merely an opinion, it all boils down to whose opinion has more weight with you.
With me, KAJ's opinion has more weight than Scottie's and the opinion of anyone else who's voiced an opinion on this topic anywhere in the world in the last week. Yun lang. Here's the link...

may mga nba cards ako niyan mga yan ah..hehehe ;D
mj pinakamahal na nba card nga pala...
pwede siguro 'the greatest of his era' because di naman talaga sila nagkasabay-sabay, or kung nagkasabay man, they were not at the same peak of their game.

tsaka tinalo niya mga aliens!!! ;D ;D ;D
If people are saying Wade & LeBron are Batman & Robin I guess that makes Chris Bosh Batgirl.
Or Alfred. ;)
Eto ang Pinoy success story. Dati, taga-bili lang ng sandwich. Ngayon, Finals coach na. Isa sa pinakamalaking item sa CV niya:

20 reasons why you should root for the Mavslike thiis one,GO MAVS!

1. Pull for Dallas to win these NBA Finals because Miami will get forklifts of rings someday. This might be Dallas' last chance.
2. Pull for Dallas because it got screwed in the 2006 Finals worse than Bartman. To lose to the same team five years later would be tantamount to basketball waterboarding.
3. Pull for Dallas because Mark Cuban hasn't opened his mouth once.
4. Pull for Dallas because Dirk Nowitzki deserves this title more than anybody else on the floor, more than LeBron James, more than Dwyane Wade.
5. Pull for Dallas because Nowitzki stayed with his team, never took his talents anywhere but to the damn gym every day.
6. Pull for Dallas because Nowitzki has stuck it out through 13 seasons so far with this one team, stuck it out through all those depressing playoff springs, all those one-and-dones, all those words people called him -- "loser" "choker" "soft" -- stuck it out even when Steve Nash left, leaving Nowitzki with a lot of nobodies and some mops.
7. Pull for Dallas because when you ask Nowitzki why he didn't bolt the way everybody else does, he simply says, "Because this is where my heart is."
8. Pull for Dallas because Nowitzki didn't try to win a title the new way, didn't pick the best kids on the playground and take on everybody else, didn't get a bunch of super-human friends and schedule himself a ring, like you might a kegger or your birthday party.
9. Pull for Dallas because Nowitzki has this crazy idea about trying to win one the old fashioned way, by getting better.
10. Pull for Dallas because James is so heaven-sent talented that he'll get more than his share of rings before he's done.
11. Pull for Dallas because Nowitzki is much closer to done than starting now.
12. Pull for Dallas because 38-year-old Jason Kidd deserves one, too, despite what he says. "I want this more for Dirk than for me," says Kidd, who's played in three decades -- 17 years -- in this league without champagne in his hair. "All the work Dirk's put in, all the time. Man he deserves it more than anybody on this team. Plus, if he gets it, that means I get one too, right?"
13. Pull for Dallas because Kidd is the guy everybody likes, the Ray Bourque of the NBA, the one everybody wants to see hold the trophy over his head someday. If he doesn't win it now, in his third Finals try, he'll never win it.
14. Pull for Dallas because it has the best locker room in the NBA, not a whiner among them. There are more good guys in that room than in some divisions.
15. Pull for Dallas because it doesn't do pre-championship celebrations. Dallas has this crazy notion that you should actually hold the trophy in your hands before you throw the parade. Wouldn't it be nice to give them one?
16. Pull for these Dallas Mavericks because the way things are going, the Dallas Cowboys may never win a title again.
17. Pull for Dallas because it's clear they're the underdogs in this, sort of the way a squirrel is the underdog vs. an owl. You knew that after Tuesday night's Game 1, the way LeBron James was flying over people like Air Florida and Dwyane Wade was dazzling everybody else, the way he does in NBA Finals. You knew that the way they pulled away to that win in Game 1.
18. Pull for Dallas because its best player, Nowitzki, has a torn tendon in his left middle finger now and yet never once blinked when we asked if he'll keep playing.
19. Pull for Dallas because it's not about The Decision. It's about one team taking the easy way to a title and another team taking a way that just keeps getting harder.
20. Pull for Dallas, because, my God, how many good things can happen to Pat Riley in one lifetime?

On a marketing standpoint, superteams like Miami Heat are good for the ratings. Tumaas ang viewership ng NBA. Highly entertaining talaga. But watching the Heat demolish teams, good teams like Boston, Chicago and now, Dallas, di kaya dapat mag step in na ang NBA and put some regulations here? Don't you think it's unfair to other teams na walang Big 3? Baka mawalan na ng pagasa yun ibang team?
Dapat siguro gawin ng NBA yun rule dito sa UAAP at NCAA natin na di pwede pagsabayin sa court ang dalawang import. In Miami's case, dapat di pwede sabay si LBJ and Wade? To be fair to other teams. Sobrang lakas talaga eh. Delikado na yun Lakers ko next season if they will not get another franchise player like Howard and dagdagan pa nila ng Chris Paul para match na sa Miami Heat. Ang labo di ba?
OR, dapat hingan na dapat ng PLUS lagi ang Heat. PLUS 10 per game! Haaay...
That was my favorite of the 20, haha.
Sure, except The Dallas Morning News reported after last season that Dirk met with Cuban to demand a trade, to the Lakers even, because Dirk felt that the Mavs could never win the championship.
Balanced reporting was needed here.
Sure, except that, in the Urban Dictionary, the term "Jason Kidd" means beating your wife, as that's what Jason did once. Which, just to be fair, is an actual offense compared with the so-called sins of the Heat's amigos, who were merely arrogant and obnoxious in the preseason.

its none of anybody's business what goes on privately with a husband and wife. as the americans say: MYOB.
may salary cap ang NBA to prevent this from happening. Pwede silang kumuha ng malalakas ng players as long as willing sila magbayad ng luxury tax if ever hindi pumayag magbaba ng salary un players at lumampas sa salary cap ng team.
ex. sa current Lakers, $40M ang sobra nila sa salary cap kya ng babayad sila ng additional $40M more dahil sa luxury tax. Ok lang un sa LA ksi big market sila, at as far as i know, $2B ang binabayad para sa TV rights ng lakers per season.
hindi na ata ginagawa ni kidd ung ginagawa niya everytime he shoots a free throw

yung flying kiss? di na. tanda na raw sya di na sya sweet hehehe
di ba ginagawa niya to para sa anak niya? ;D
wala siguro magagawa nba dyan,mafia meron ;D.sa palagay ko hindi rin magtatagal tong sila wade and james sa miami.sooner or later one will want to be recognized as the main man of the team and magkakaroon din ng awayan dyan ,such as what happened to the lakers with shaq and kobe before.ring lang naman habol ni lbj eh.di natin alam kung anong mangyayari kung sakaling makakuha sya ng isa.he may want to demand a trade so that he can join a team where he can be the only superstar.puera na lang kung gusto nya lampasan yung mga rings na nakuha nila kobe and mj.
I get this. But my point is can't the NBA prevent identified superstars from teaming up? Like Kobe, Lebron, DRose, Durant etc. Para patas ang labanan. As it is right now, the lineup of the Heat with LBJ and Wade, is ridiculous. Too strong for the opposition. Kawawa naman the other aspiring teams na gusto rin namang mag champion. Or maybe sana may handicapping system if you have two or three superstars in your team.
di ko alam. ang tsismis nagaway sila ng asawa nya dahil sa iba nakatingin nung nag flying kiss ;D kaya tinigil na ni jason.
bad journalism imo. most of the reasons he said were redundant. he could've actually shrunk it to 5 reasons. i also don't agree with number 14. saying that the Miami players are whiners is subjective but they're telling it like it's a fact. all of the players in Miami actually have their own charity or foundation so by this reason there are more good guys in Miami than in Dallas' locker room. how many of the players in Dallas does this? this writer trying to incite hate towards Miami and halata naman na hater lang sya.+100000
also, di ba nya alam na sinabi ni Dirk na kung siya yung inalok nila LBJ and Wade na maging kakampi nila na sasama daw sya? so the reason to root for Dallas because Dirk stuck it out with the same team is already thrown out the window.
last but not the least, enough with this Dirk deserves to win the championship crap because of this and that. you can only deserve the championship if you actually won it and not because of some other reason.
wala siguro magagawa nba dyan,mafia meron ;D.sa palagay ko hindi rin magtatagal tong sila wade and james sa miami.sooner or later one will want to be recognized as the main man of the team and magkakaroon din ng awayan dyan ,such as what happened to the lakers with shaq and kobe before.ring lang naman habol ni lbj eh.di natin alam kung anong mangyayari kung sakaling makakuha sya ng isa.he may want to demand a trade so that he can join a team where he can be the only superstar.puera na lang kung gusto nya lampasan yung mga rings na nakuha nila kobe and mj.

mj will not get 6 rings if he played in the now era.. ;D
mj will not get 6 rings if he played in the now era.. ;D
Yeah.....with the touch fouls, flagrant fouls and no handchecking rule, he would have won 8 or 9. ;D
i dont know about that....sir ,are u referring to mj and his bulls competing against the top teams now?kung yung era nila mj,ron harper,pippen,rodman,longley against the heat ang sinasabi mo,tingin ko kaya sila ng bulls.compare mo na lang yung starting five.tapos off the bench sila kukoc saka steve kerr.i mean im pretty sure pippen can limit lbj,jordan can guard wade.lbj can guard pippen but i'm not sure if they can handle "his airness",plus yung productivity ni kukoc off the bench.
nope, mj will still get his 6 rings and maybe more... officiating is a lot stricter in NBA today as compared to when MJ played with the bulls... dati sobrang gulpi ka sa gulangan saka ka lang tatawagan ng referee, ngayon madampian ka lang foul agad..yeah,i've seen some of the games of the bulls vs pistons.maaawa ka kay mj nuon sa mga fouls na binibigay ng pistons sa kanya.saka di pa uso mga flopping nuon.

16. Pull for these Dallas Mavericks because the way things are going, the Dallas Cowboys may never win a title again.
17. Pull for Dallas because it's clear they're the underdogs in this, sort of the way a squirrel is the underdog vs. an owl. You knew that after Tuesday night's Game 1, the way LeBron James was flying over people like Air Florida and Dwyane Wade was dazzling everybody else, the way he does in NBA Finals. You knew that the way they pulled away to that win in Game 1.
18. Pull for Dallas because its best player, Nowitzki, has a torn tendon in his left middle finger now and yet never once blinked when we asked if he'll keep playing.
19. Pull for Dallas because it's not about The Decision. It's about one team taking the easy way to a title and another team taking a way that just keeps getting harder.
20. Pull for Dallas, because, my God, how many good things can happen to Pat Riley in one lifetime?
kung yung era nila mj,ron harper,pippen,rodman,longley against the heat ang sinasabi mo,tingin ko kaya sila ng bulls.compare mo na lang yung starting five.tapos off the bench sila kukoc saka steve kerr.i mean im pretty sure pippen can limit lbj,jordan can guard wade.lbj can guard pippen but i'm not sure if they can handle "his airness",plus yung productivity ni kukoc off the bench.
eh yun lakers 2002-2003...vs bulls...2002-2003?di ba yun yung season na tinalo sila ng spurs sa second round ng play offs?
Shaq retires!I'd consider him the most dominating center ever to handle a basketball. Although I haven't watched the careers of wilt and bill, if they played in shaq's era I still think they would be eaten alive.
If you are looking for something unique that he accomplished, consider this: O’Neal averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds during 13 separate seasons. No other player was able to accomplish that level of consistent excellence.

i dont know about that....sir ,are u referring to mj and his bulls competing against the top teams now?

Ever wonder how it would be like if Shaq could shoot at least 70% of his FT :-)
isama mo pa yung referee. sigurado lahat ng tawag pabor sa bulls dahil fan ni jordan yung refs. hindi rin uubra yung frontline ng heat lalo na yung soft style ni cb kay dennis. prime shaq nga at horace grant di umubra, bosh at haslem pa kya?
ano kaya average nya,35ppg at least?
ganda siguro if nakita natin shaq vs wilt and bill.di ba may simulation thingy silang ginagawa for this?
The situation: O'Neal misses 10 free throws in a nine-point Lakers loss and is asked why he can't "conquer" his free-throw demons.
The Shaq Smack: "I think everything happens for a reason. With my game being the way it is, if I did shoot 80 percent, I'd be a harder person to deal with. It just keeps me humble. Just imagine me in my game shooting the same percentage that Reggie Miller shoots. I wouldn't even talk to you guys because I wouldn't have to."
I'd consider him the most dominating center ever to handle a basketball. Although I haven't watched the careers of wilt and bill, if they played in shaq's era I still think they would be eaten alive.how can you say that if you have'nt seen the wilt and bill?i think olajuwon in his prime would eat shaq alive.
Yup. Any Bulls era can compete against any top teams now. Whether it's the Cartwright/Grant/Pippen Bulls or the Longley/Rodman/Harper teams. Jordan would have a field day! With no hand-checking and and lots of touch fouls, finesse players would have a field day....Pippen, Harper....even Kukoc!The Jordan (prime) led bulls could very well contend with teams today and in any era for that matter. How I wish I could see them them battle Miami.
Rodman can basically guard anybody on the floor. And with Jordan, Pippen and Rodman...you have the 3 best defenders in NBA history on the floor at the same time. You can even add Harper and Randy Brown as above average defenders.
how can you say that if you have'nt seen the wilt and bill?i think olajuwon in his prime would eat shaq alive.
That already happened during the finals. Though Shaq wasn't in his prime yet. ;D It was his 2nd season.3rd season nya ata sir?
how can you say that if you have'nt seen the wilt and bill?i think olajuwon in his prime would eat shaq alive.olajuwon is great but against shaq I don't think so. the argument exists only because of the finals where the rockets beat orlando. shaq played great against hakeem unfortunately for orlando they have Nick Anderson 4straight misses on ft. WTF :-)
3rd season nya ata sir?
olajuwon is great but against shaq I don't think so. the argument exists only because of the finals where the rockets beat orlando. shaq played great against hakeem unfortunately for orlando they have Nick Anderson 4straight misses on ft. WTF :-)im pretty sure olajuwon will put shaq to sleep in their primes.shaq played well but hakeem played better in that final series basing on their statisctics.also hakeem in his prime has to contend with ewing,and robinson in their prime.swerte si shaq wala syang nakasabayan na magaling na center nung prime nya except for tim duncan who matched him well.
i dont know about that....sir ,are u referring to mj and his bulls competing against the top teams now?
jordan's chicago vs heat now with 2011 rules.. hmmmm for sure magandang laban..

Ang bilis naman ata magpalit ng allegiance mo....fair weather fan??
Ang bilis naman ata magpalit ng allegiance mo....fair weather fan??
He he he..
Feel bad for Coach Spo, because he'll have to bear some responsibility for the loss (and for deciding not to double Nowitzki sa last play). But he called a great play for Chalmers to take the tying three.
go go miami...
mabuti naman at naisipan nilang lagyan ng excitement ang finals...
kunyari magpapatalo sa game 2...
malabo naman ata mangyari magpapatalo sila on purpose
hindi... talagang nagpatalo lang ang miami...

Wow! Major props to Dallas! Siguro hindi na mauulit yung nangyari sa kanila nung 2006, wala na kasi yung MVP ng Heat nuon na si Tim Donaghy! hehe, JOKE lang ;Dyun ata yung hinahanap ni wade nung last play.
Ganda ng series, sana umabot hanggang Game 7!

but WHY? choke lang tlaga!
di pala risk taker talaga si LBJ...ano kaya comment ni Pips after this game 2 ??? ::) atleast si Dirk, never say die tlaga!

Pang asar lang ;D ;D
hindi sa choke eh.. parang tinamad talaga sila.. as if they are not really trying to win. :( poor shot selection! poor defense! ewan ko ba...
oo nga. pangit nung shot selection nila nung last few minutes. nagtataka rin ako bakit tumira si wade sa three points eh pwede naman niya i-drive medyo maluwag naman yung depensa ng Dallas nun. masyado talaga sila nagsettle sa outside shooting.

bigla dumami ang post nang natalo ang Dallas... dami talaga galit sa Miami ha ha ha...alam mo naman pilipino mahilig sa lahat ng may dog (underdog,dog*****,hotdog,etc)

it's funny how the haters celebrate.
my two cents ... lets just enjoy it and give credit where it is due
the dallas stole game 2 from heat behind dirk :) :) :)
I thought give credit where it is due? Dallas stole game 2? :D

Great players fight through their injuries, its the desire and will power that will carry them to complete their task.
MISMO,..! Walang dahi-dahilan,... Laro lang ng laro,...

go go HEAT...walang masama kung mag celebrate after the game,ang epic eh yung nag cecelebrate na (with matching suntok suntok pa.parang natatawa na nga lang si wade kay lbj eh.sabi siguro sa sarili nya "ano ba naman tong robin ko,palibhasa ngayun lang nakatikim ng panalo ng game sa finals,sobrang tuwa di pa naman tapos yung game)hindi pa tapos yung laban ;D,
di pa tapos ang series... 1 - 1 pa lang...
huwag muna masyado magcelebrate Dallas fans... baka matulad sa game 2 yan... maulats tuloy championship ng Mavs (kung magchampion) pero malabo talaga eh...
Oh yeah ;) Rondo played with one arm. Kobe was playing injured I think. Jaworski, in his heyday, played with fresh 6 stitches on his face. And the Big J once said, kasama sa game yan. Kung ayaw masaktan, mag chess na lang daw.
And who can forget the FLU GAME ni Michael Jordan,...
hindi sa choke eh.. parang tinamad talaga sila.. as if they are not really trying to win. :( poor shot selection! poor defense! ewan ko ba...
Actually, Miami must win the title.....they celebrated already at the beginning of the season right......
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jHd1N4exF40/TDrimCyJSrI/AAAAAAAAANc/Fv-FZHzTG_U/s400/lebron%25252520james%25252520miami%25252520heat%25252520home%25252520jersey.jpg)
The Heat either choked or they panicked. Either way they reacted poorly when Dallas put them in a pressure situation. Maybe it was because they had celebrated prematurely when it wasn't over.
the trio pic of dirk,cubes and nash is so gay...hahaha
its like a cover of a xxx gay dvd...cubes does dallas again..
Haven't watched the game in entirety. Mamaya sa replay. For me, yun naubos yun timeout was a miscue. 3.5 seconds is a lifetime had there been a timeout left. Lamang ka ng 15 points with 6 minutes tapos naubos timeout mo? If that's not panic, I don't know what is.
(baka manalo sa replay mamaya ;D)
lets talk about game 3..tapos na tong game 2 eh... ;D
Nakngpatola, finger lang yun kay Dirk. Ganyan na ba ka sensitive ang players ngayon? My good friend Joey Loyzaga (now in Australia) who once played for Ginebra, said hirap daw sa mga players ngayon puro bailarina. Konting sakit iniinda. Nun dati raw sila mga warriors, kahit duguan na, laro pa rin.pinprotektahan na kasi nila mga superstar ngayun sir,pansin mo may mga foul na tinatawag against star player na hindi tinatawag sa average players.
Kung ako naman sa Miami Heat, simplehan na nila si Dirk. Hampasin na nila ng hampasin yun kamay. Remember Ricky Brown the shooter? There was a game yata Great Taste versus Gilbey's, nag take turns sila Jaworski, Gonzalgo, Distrito na gulpihin yun kamay ni Ricky Brown kaya hayun, namaga! Di na naka shoot ;D Coach Spo, since pinoy ka naman, kuhanin mo nga si Big J na consultant sa dirty tricks tactics. Yari si Nowitzki!
hinahanap nya ata yung touch fouls na tinatawag ng mga refs nung 06 finals.(http://i.imgur.com/b6nME.gif)
Looking for a foul? ;D ;D ;D
Either United States love underdogs.....or Heat..arguably the most hated in America now ;)

talagang malabo manalo dallas for the championship pero ok lng yun,nakakatawa kung matalo heat sa finals biruin mo tatlo silang superstar na nilaglag ng isang superstar.pero kung sasabihin mo sa akin ngayun na magagawang i sweep ng mavs ang lakers this season iisipin ko na nababaliw ka na ata ;)
Dallas pulled off the biggest comeback win in an NBA finals since Michael Jordan and the Bulls wiped out a similar 15-point deficit in Game 6 of the 1992 series, beating Portland to close out their second title.
Epic comeback indeed for Dallas.
ung taga miami lang ata ang gusto manalo sila ;D
wala naman atang ibang reaction ang makakakita ng pic na to kunde 'this is so gay!' ;D ;D
who came up with this idea anyway? ::) ;D
Most hated team yata ah,... hahahahaha
The Play That Sparked Dallas’ Comebacknice read.interesting what adjustment coach spo will do in game 3.
http://nbaplaybook.com/2011/06/03/the-play-that-sparked-dallas-comeback/ (http://nbaplaybook.com/2011/06/03/the-play-that-sparked-dallas-comeback/)
The Nba Playbook is a great website that breaks down the pivotal plays of games. Based on the post above, one of the reasons why Dallas is doing much better this year is that Rick Carlisle is able to make in game adjustments and come up with a new set play that the opposing team hasn't been able to scout and to prepare for.
carlisle is better..way better than spo..

My good friend Joey Loyzaga (now in Australia) who once played for Ginebra, said hirap daw sa mga players ngayon puro bailarina. Konting sakit iniinda. Nun dati raw sila mga warriors, kahit duguan na, laro pa rin.i still remember the game when i first admired dirk,it was a playoff series between mavs v utah(it was dirk's 2nd or 3rd season).the jazz ae leading that series 2-0 or 3-1 ata.dirk got hit in the mouth and lost some of his teeth.he left the game and returned after a few minutes and won not only that game but the series as well.kaya ako nagtataka when some people label him as soft.kung soft si nowitzki di na sana sya bumalik sa game na yun.i know talagang may limitations talaga sya in terms of defense but i don't think that dirk is a soft player or a choker or a quitter

pag matalo heat, sasabihing overrated ka, yari ka kay "superman" pat riley. superman kasi pomada ni patriley. yung parang-3flowers pomade, pwedeng flytrap)

kung lalaro si Dagul, mas pipiliin ko pa si Dagul kesa kay LBJ eh,..

I would disagree. Mavs have been trailing for the past 2 games. The Heat's defensive sets and execution have also been superior.
Also, if you look at the Heat's last play in game 2 (Chalmers' 3), this was a great ad-hoc play. It was just too bad that the Heat lost in the last seconds.
The Dallas offense is very one-dimensional and devoid of variety.

I don't think Dallas' offense is one-dimensional. One-dimensional offenses are those Cleveland teams under Lebron James and Mike Brown.
Miami should win at least 1 game but better if they can win 2 games at dallas.

I'd like to believe Spo is better than Carlisle. A Filipino is better than a white guy! :D

This statement is a disservice to both coaches. Both of them had to work hard to reach their current positions and race had nothing to do with it. For more details about Spo's journey from 1995-2008, read this article-

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra has risen from "The Dungeon" to the NBA spotlight.

bad trip!!!!ano bang problema nitong nba premium!?ilang araw ng wala!!! >:( >:( >:(
ngayon ko lang ulit nakita naglaro si juwan howardparang galing sa rehab ang looks niya
binuhat na naman ni DWade. ;Dyup. refs made it hard for the heat. imagine giving them 27 free throws and 27 fouls. tsk...tsk...tsk...sayang depensa pag puro pito...
si LBJ mukhang kinakabahan. saka grabe yung sixth man ng Dallas ang galing pumito. >:(
naglaro ba si lebron? it's all dwade and bosh... ;D
good game Miami!!!
Lebron is really choking! MIA! >:( Glad Wade played an excellent game! :D
yup. refs made it hard for the heat. imagine giving them 27 free throws and 27 fouls. tsk...tsk...tsk...sayang depensa pag puro pito...
lalo na yung nag-fake si LBJ sa three point line biglang parang nalunok nung ref yung pito walang tawag halata naman na body contact na yun. >:(
Heat returned the favor to dallas by beating them by 2 pts..odds are againts dallas now
nagtataka lang ako...
ang bagal ng posting...
siguro kasi... nanalo ang MIAMI ?? ... bwa ha ha ha
sayang ang effort ng dallas... at the end... sila na naman ang kumain ng alikabok... si wade pa lang ang gumagawa... paano pa kaya kung ganahan si LJ at bosh (ala kwenta laro ni LJ... bad trip).
don't just look the points of LBJ, he has 9 asst., so still has big factor in today's game...
Breaks of the game bro. madami kasing artista ngayon sa finals kaya nalilito na referee
yup. refs made it hard for the heat. imagine giving them 27 free throws and 27 fouls. tsk...tsk...tsk...sayang depensa pag puro pito...
Am not looking at the points bro... and i am not alone saying lebron is choking...
oo madami nga lalo na yung mga acting jobs kanina ni Dirk. dami nya tuloy free throw.
home court bro..even wade has his moments of acting jobs..
tinamad si LJ! ngplaymaker na lng siya.. whahaha.. tahimik mga haters! ;D hehe...ganun talaga pag talunan....quite muna...lets not give them a reason to rejoice again...Go Heat!
Am not looking at the points bro... and i am not alone saying lebron is choking...
i know he does pero isipin mo kanina lamang yung Miami ng 6 points. nawala lang dahil sa free throws na tawag ng ref dahil loose ball foul daw. tapos pag dating dun sa foul dapat kay LBJ walang tawag.

Yes, it's an insane statistic, this Game 3 curse but think about it, Mavs fans.
"The Game 3 Curse has claimed the best of the best. It has claimed the Celtics and Lakers, when the Celtics had Larry Bird 1985 and the Lakers had Magic Johnson in 1991. It even claimed the Lakers of Kobe Bryant, in 2004. Michael Jordan has contributed to the Game 3 Curse three times, leading the Bulls to victory in Game 3, and beyond, in 1991, '92 and '98."
Eleven Game 3 winners in the history since 2-3-2 format. Eleven NBA championships. 100%.
Now, if I'm a Mavs fan, I would be scared. Very scared. But guess what -- I am not a Mavs fan ;D
Ang hirap manalo, nevertheless, Miami got one from Mavs homecourt. Binuhat ni Wade ang Heat. Thank you, Wade. Otherwise, asar talo nanaman kame sa Haters. ;D
Lakers ka di ba?
Lakers all the way bro! Are you a Mavs fan?
Nope. You sound like a Heat fan kasi kaya I was wondering.
Okay good. It's better to wonder than to be scared ;D
So you're a Heat fan right now?
Not really a fan. Just rooting for the Heat. Because of Coach Erik my Pinoy bro. And Because the Mavs swept my Lakers. You also rooting for the Heat? Or a FAN of the Heat?
Neither team really.
Siguro Lakers ka o Boston? Spurs? At any rate, mag HEAT ka na. Two good reasons -- (1) Coach Erik will be the first NBA Coach with Pinoy blood to win a Crown. (2) Kung Lakers ka, bawi lang sa Dallas kasi nga na sweep tayo.
Kung Boston ka naman o Spurs, e mag Heat ka pa rin. Kasi nga malamang pag sa Mavs ka, baka matalo ka e dobol talo ka pag nagkataon ;D

Para sa mga Lebron haters ::) Read on:
"That's what I'll remember about James from Game 3. His shrinkage, and how it continued a series of shrinkages. After three games in these NBA Finals, James has scored nine points in the fourth quarter. That's total. That's three points a game in the fourth quarter, which means in crunch time LeBron James becomes Joel Anthony."

Oh well, we still have two (2) more games to go. If James wants to start putting an imprimatur on his name, he should start next game. Parang nakakaamoy ako ng 40+ performance kay LBJ ah...
dpogs,ano ba ang fixation mo sa pagkain ng alikabok?? ???

nice pass by lbj to bosh for the winning bucket...parang magic johnson pass eh..... ;Dyeah right,most vanishing player when it really mattered most, in the finals ;D
galing tlga ni lbj..he should be the mvp of the finals...
based sa 3 games, who do you think is the finals MVP?
meron na bang naging Finals MVP na hindi nag champion?pagkaalam ko wala,lagi sa champion team kumukuha ng finals mvp
NBA finals 1969 - Jerry West finals MVP.yeah you are right,the first and only player to win a finals mvp despite his team losing in the finals.my gosh that was really a long time ago.maybe it's because the celtics win is more of a team effort
Although the Lakers lost to the Celtics 4-3 ;D

magic johnson passes the ball with flaire and style,lebron passing was like "here come get and shoot the ball before i threw up a brick shot" ;D
if Mavs win, Dirk, if Heat wins, Wade
lbj and wade tied... ;D
co-mvp pwede ba sa finals?
lbj and wade tied... ;D
co-mvp pwede ba sa finals?
nah, i don't think they're tied. 1st game mas malaki yung impact ni Wade compared kay LBJ even though lamang ng 1 point si LBJ. last 2 games mas maganda rin performance ni Wade kay LBJ. pero masarap isipin na mag co-mvp silang dalawa since dapat hindi lang yung performance sa finals yung pagbabasihan ng MVP but since it's called Finals MVP DWade should have this in the bag if they indeed win the championship.
lbj and wade tied... ;D
co-mvp pwede ba sa finals?
the problem is, "will the 120 voters see it the same way?"
LBJ has done a lot but i dont think its more critical and impacting as what Wade is doing so a tie, in my opinion may not be happenning. If Wade continues the way he plays and LBJ does as well, Wade might get it.
the way i see it, its not who has the hot hands but who is more agressive in creating points for the team. Wade has been really agressive in all the games i have watched so far and has been attacking the basket, driving and drawing and passing once he sees the defense is committed to him and that a team mate has an open shot.
not sure about this but is James popular to those who will be voting?
meron pa 2 to 3 games para bumawi si LBJ. ;D ;D ;D
we can never tell. voters can be influenced.
si Ramon Fernandez nga na lamang sa statistical points and everything and the main man sa San Miguel's grandslam ay tinalo ni Benjie Paras na noon ay rookie pa lang, sa pagka-mvp nung 1989 dahil sa pagka-impluensiya ni Ronnie Nathanielz sa mga press people. pero ito ay sa PBA. iba naman siguro sa NBA.
if Mavs win, Dirk, if Heat wins, Wade
tingin ko lbj is slowly becoming the face of the nba now..sorry kobe fans...ouch...im a kobe fan too.. ;D
back to back game winners....close deal..lbj mvp!...or isang triple double ska isang game winnig bucket for the championship...!
Why are there talks about Finals MVP already? Baka another case of celebrating too early...
If mawala si LBJ, buhay pa Heat with Wade and CB. If mawala si Wade, buhay pa Heat (argueably) with LBJ and CB.
Eh kung mawala kaya si Dirk?
By definition, sino kaya MVP?
Ops tulog na sana mga Lakers fans tulad ko bro, nabanggit mo pa si Kobe haha.
But we have to admit - at this point Kobe is a poor man's DWade.
LBJ hasn't played well yet. And the Heat is up 2-1. If I were a Mav fan, I would be content that Lebron plays this way and not make him find the groove in the coming games. But the guy's due for an explosive game. So the Mavs better watch out. In Game 4, if he scores a 40+ and a triple double, tapos ang Mavs.
Boston ako. I'm really not cheering for either team. But ayoko naman biglang parang matagal nako fan ng Heat or Mavs. Feeling ko bandwagon fan naman ako. But that's just me.
but this must be coupled by a good game from wade too, does not matter really if bosh will not play well, again my opinion only, even with 40 points and wade will not play well, its not a guaranteed win
but what the heck, they have three big players.
i guess this will be the end of it, if Dirk goes on a slump or gets injured. kahit siguro 15 points lang si LBJ ;D ;D ;D ;D
nah.derrick rose and kevin durant is
tingin ko lbj is slowly becoming the face of the nba now..sorry kobe fans...ouch...im a kobe fan too.. ;D
yeah you are right,the first and only player to win a finals mvp despite his team losing in the finals.my gosh that was really a long time ago.maybe it's because the celtics win is more of a team effortno chance,wade will get it if ever the heat wins
So, is there a possibility that Nowitski would win finals MVP honors even if Dallas loses to Miami?
nagtataka lang ako...
ang bagal ng posting...
siguro kasi... nanalo ang MIAMI ?? ... bwa ha ha ha
sayang ang effort ng dallas... at the end... sila na naman ang kumain ng alikabok... si wade pa lang ang gumagawa... paano pa kaya kung ganahan si LJ at bosh (ala kwenta laro ni LJ... bad trip).
pero natatunayan kanina na ang dapat kinukumpara ay si MJ vs. Dwade,,,hindi si BJ ;D
masakit sa mata panoorin kanina. 8)

even if they dont admit it, the absence of hayward messed up their rotation, its crucial specially in the finals where all your plays/rotations are scrutinized, mahinmi played with a lot of energy but gave them early penalty situations which again messed up their game plan.bro,rick carlisle duriing the post game interview admitted that hayward's absence affected the team s rotation
sir di nmn poor man's wade si kobe...hehehe.. ;D....

Gordon Hayward vs Brendan Haywood ;)
lbj doesnt need flair and style when passing the ball ,because he block shots with flair and style.. ;Ddapat pala kay mutombo mo sya kinompare,hindi kay magic ;D
He he he.. Sama na natin si Juwan HOWARD para lalong gumulo. :)

WHATTA- GAME WINNING PASS
O gawin nyong screen saver ;D
"A behind-the-back, only-LeBron-can-make-that-play whip pass to Chris Bosh for a wide-open jumper to win the game!" To me, this iced the game. In a decisive Game 3. C/o Lebron. Who didn't play well.
yeah baby!!!hayop talaga tong bakulaw n lbj n to....ginagawang nba 2k11 un nba finals...
oh-so-sweet-only-he-and-jaworski-can-make winning assist
So Lebron not scoring? Maybe. But he's defending. He's passing. He's orchestrating the plays. In Game 3, he "only" scored 17 points. & 9 Assists. That's 35 points total. Plus that, oh-so-sweet-only-he-and-jaworski-can-make winning assist ;D
Eto sabi ni Dirk when asked about what he thinks of LBJ's game so far.
"First of all, he's playing both ends of the floor," Nowitzki said Monday. "They keep sticking him on [Jason Terry] in the fourth quarters, and he's been doing a good job. Jet hasn't really been a crunch-time, clutch player for us the way we need him to. So he's done a good job. Look, Wade has been great in the fourth quarter, so LeBron is being more of a facilitator. It worked so far."

parang big J to el presidente!
ang daming mga ana-analysis ng laro...
in short: kumain ng alikabok ang Dallas sa game 3.
sir, wala naman atang alikabok sa mga court ng mga NBA teams. hehe. maganda ang deskripsyon kaso parang di angkop. ;D
hmmm... nilampaso ng Heat ang Dallas (since madulas ang sahig ng court).
"James had 17 points and nine assists, yes, but he had more turnovers (four) than rebounds (three). He was 6 of 14 from the field. After vowing for two days to get to the foul line in bulk -- "I'll be in attack mode," he had said earlier Sunday -- James went to the foul line four times all game. All in the first half."

And I'm just amazed at how James' fans take the credit for Bosh's winning basket! ??? ;)
Practically must-win na ang Mavs bukas. I think whoever is able to win 2 consecutive games will become 2011 Champions.
Gumising ka na Peja...
ano nga ba nangyari dito eh di ba there was point in time halos lahat ng itapon nito pwede ng ilista sa score.Match up problem. Kakainin ng buhay ni Lequit yan. Hehe
Match up problem. Kakainin ng buhay ni Lequit yan. Hehe
no matter how good the pass is, its not counted as an assist if the receiver of the pass do not make the shot.
If they give credit to the winning pass, they should also give credit to the same degree to the winning basket.
i have always been crticial about how bosh plays the game but come to think of it, is there any other player in his position who shoots as good as he does?
sir, wala naman atang alikabok sa mga court ng mga NBA teams. hehe. maganda ang deskripsyon kaso parang di angkop. ;D
So si Pau Gasol pala pati si Fisher ang mga real heroes sa mga game winners ni Kobe. ;D

Dirk? Ay hindi pala as good yun... So much better pala. ;D
Pero kung legit centers, I'd say Lamarcus Aldridge has developed his mid-range. Meron rin si Pau, KG, Okur, and Bosh's successor in Canada, Andrea Bargnani.
SIR MADAMI DIN NAMAN...PERO UN KASING FEATHERY NUN TOUCH NA KGAYA NI BOSH KASI LEFTY EH...WALA YTA AKO MAISIP...TONI KUKOC?HEHEHE ;D
by the way, where is this guy now? ang laks din nito ah.
Utah pa rin sir Tirso. Back injury nga lang...
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3547
thats why basketball can also be cruel sometimes, you are at the peak of your career then an injury happens and your gone sometimes forever.
Eto pa sir Onkyo606:
Kung big men na magaling sa mid-range shooting (tulad ni Bosh) ang pag-uusapan,ang pinakamagaling nung 2010-11 ay si Al Horford (next to Dirk, of course).
Al Horford:
A number of big men have all but mastered the art of the open catch-and-shoot 20-footer. Kevin Garnett and David West both make 48% of their 16-23 foot jumpers, Luis Scola makes 49% of his, pick-and-pop master Chris Bosh makes 46% of his, and Brandon Bass makes an incredible 52% of his. But as good as all of them are at the pick-and-pop jumper, Al Horford is nearly automatic: according to Hoopdata, Horford has made 57% of his 16-23 foot jumpers this season. It’s not like he rarely shoots them, either, because he takes nearly five jumpers from that range each game. Over 90% of his jumpers are assisted, but 57% is absolutely insane. I mean, Dwight Howard only makes 56.4% of his free throws.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/10/who-are-the-best-mid-range-shooters-in-the-league/
Shooting from 16-23 ft.
Al Horford - 57%
Dirk Nowitzki - 53%

Chris Bosh- 46%
game 4 na bukas...may the better team.... :D
sana walang mainjured bukas...ok lang un pisikalan..
pg nalo mavs mas exciting un series....pg nanalo heat...tapos ang boksing..
may the better acting team shoot more free throws... ;D
Let's Go Heat! Beat the Mavs!
KUNG SINO UN MAS SIKAT UN LAGI ANG BIDA... ;D
MJ TO KERR
MJ TO PAXSON
MJ TRUSTING HIS TEAMATES!
another term for 'natalo'
reference... ay ang pabilisan ng takbo...
kadalasan ang mga mababagal tumakbo ay siyang nakakasagap ng mga alikabok (mas masklap kung putik) na naiwan ng mas mabilis tumakbo... most of the time... nararanasan ito ng mga hinete ng kabayo at mga track and field players na kung saan lupa/clay ang tinatakbuhan.
'kumain na naman ng alikabok' ay exageration lang ng salitang 'natalo'
dahil dito... pinakain na naman ng alikabok ng Heat ang Dallas... hmmm... mas maganda ring pinkain ng putik ng Heat ang Dallas...
uhm,alam ko ibig sabihin nung expression.what i wanted to ask you was,kung baket paulit ulit mo na lang sinasabi yun. ::)
uhm,alam ko ibig sabihin nung expression.what i wanted to ask you was,kung baket paulit ulit mo na lang sinasabi yun. ::)kala ko kasi hindi mo alam eh.. kasi pati un napansin mo...
wag naman.kung lalampasuhin ng miami ang dallas e matatapos agad ang finals. :)
shared glory sir, passer and shooter
para matapos na agad ang paghihirap ng Dallas... masyado na silang nasusunog...
Pwede pero mas parang tama yun kay Gob L. Sony - kung sino sikat siya ang may credit. Kung si Udonis Haslem ang nagpasa kay Bosh, kahit anong behind the back, under the legs, no look pass yun, e "Whatta Shot by Bosh". Kaya lang si Lebron ang nag assist eh kaya "Whatta a Pass by Bron".
BUT kung ang pinasahan ni Lebron ay si Wade for a winning shot or vice versa, yan ang shared glory "Whatta play by the Big Two". ;D
ang supposed na 'paghihirap' ng dallas ay biyaya sating mga basketball fans.
at least that's the way i see it.kahit maalo dalas,as long as maganda ang series (which it is),panalo pa rin ako as a fan in my book. :)
at least di ka kakain ng alikabaok pao hahahahaha
any livestream link for today's game??
Walang NBA Premium!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmpf!!!!!!!!!!!! walang cable!!!!!!!!!!! d*mn!!!!!!!!!!! wtf Destiny?!!!

Yehey... thanks...

thanks ulit...
LET'S GO HEAT!!!!! ;D
Mas maganda pa ang stat line ni Joel Anthony kesa ke Lebron ha. ;D
Magising kaya si Lebron sa 2nd half?
Talent ang tawag sa ginawa ni LBJ (flopping) ;) Dami gumagawa nyan sa NBA. Nun si LBJ na gumawa, na sigle-out na sya. Sa dami din nman ng non calls pag na pa-foul ang taga Miami parang patas na din. ::)
sama mo na rin yung foul na tinawag kay JA. kitang-kita sa replay na block tapos hindi naman nakadikit si JA kay Dirk. si Dirk isa pa yan sa magaling umarte eh hindi lang naman si LBJ gumagawa nun pati nga sa pinakamaliit na liga dito sa pilipinas may gumagawa rin.
ang dami na naman tawag... at ang daldal ng commentators sa abs...
Alam ko naman na kasama sa laro ang pagiging actor,
pero SOBRANG OA na yan... :P
Or I just hate LBJ so much,... ;D
Mukhang dina-daga si LBJ. Dalawang free throws 'di na shoot. Pero me chance na maka tripe double sya.
oo nga bro abc.hirap na hirap lang dallas.tsk tsk.
Langya naman Dirk! Lagnat lang yan. Biogesic lang katapat nyan! >:(

Hahahaha LAKAS,..!
Salamat ke James for bringing his talents sa south beach.
Enough of the MJ-LBJ talk....he's not even the best player on his team. Pweh!! ;D ;D
Pero ang galing ni Wade. Hanep. Siguro nung binansagan na big 3 yung mga star ng Miami, they were actually referring to the number on Wade's Jersey.

Get the ball out of Lebron's hands and let Wade take over.
>:( Ampusa! Series tied. "di dumating 'yung inaasahang support ke LBJ. Ganda talaga ng series. Maka panindig balahibo. Nakatayo na nga ako habang nanonood. Ngayon eto na...eto na ang mga haters...Go! Banat! Umpisahan na ang Pang-aasar :-*
Tama yung hinala.....triple double ni James.
8 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 points
Konti na lang......Bwahahahaha!!!! ;D ;D
Parang mas maraming happy pag natalo ang Heat!!! Woohoo!!
Now i understand why lbj needs other superstars. He really cant stand the pressure.

Champurado bale ang supper ni Lebron - milk mixed with Dallas alikabok - medyo matigas yung desert sa Dallas area kaya parang may croutons pa.
most people are happy pag talo ang Heat pero not because Mavs won ;D ::)
great win for the mavs.. a really bad game for the heat... sobrang malas talaga... sayang... bawi na lang sa game 5! Go heat!!! 2 wins to go! :D
masarap pag 'underdog' nanalo.esp considering na powerhouse team kase ang miami. :-*
Hirap si Dirk magsalita,
paliguan na ng antibiotic yan,..!
May giyera pa sya ulit sa huwebes,...
kung minsan mas mabuti pang di makapagsalita. Instead, let your actions do the talking!
kesa naman sa puro salita kulang naman sa gawa! :)

Seriously speaking,
Whats with Lebron James??
I was observing his play during the 4th quarter.......there wasnt any sign of aggressiveness.
Defer palagi. He has all the talent.....all the physical skills, and he always deferred to Wade or Bosh.
I know that Wade is hot. But a superstar that he is....1 FG attempt in a tight game?? WTF.....and he will be asked again about this shrinkage game.
as i've said before GREAT PLAYERS fight through their injuries and sickness just to accomplish their mission.
as i've said before GREAT PLAYERS fight through their injuries and sickness just to accomplish their mission.
I have to disagree. Before mag start ang series, Mavs ang llamado. Kaya madami nag kandarapa pumusta sa'kin, nag Mavs sila, kala nila magiging madali para sa Mavs ang laban.
True, but I was referring to the interview,
he said na may sinus problem sya at mukhang grabe ang sipon at ubo...
;)
i know but i was referring to james who promised to be more aggressive but did not deliver!

mas gagrabe ang mga comments pag binangko si james!
he needs help in offense. medyo mahina ata si james sa mga one-on-one plays. si kidd lang di niya malusutan. e me help defense pa kaya napipilitang ipasa bola. spo should design a play where he could be set free to go straight to the basket!
(http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/834/lebronsakangkungan.jpg)kaya pala ang tagal mo, naghanap ka pa ng KANGKUNGAN ;D ;D ;D
eh panu nga nya malulusutan si KIDD eh kabado twing nakakahawak ng bola, dmi ksi nya history of errors in the clutch like traveling or dribbling off his foot. kya nga dto sya lumipat para pwede nya pasahan si Wade and just watch Wade do the finishing touches he cant accomplish before. High Fives at Punching in the air nlng afterwards for his assist should Wade converts he he. . .

Not really, coz its a MUST absolutely NO EXCUSE that Miami should win.
The so called BIG 3 teamed up with 1 motive: TO RULE THEM ALL.
Expectations are SKY HIGH on Miami, Their BIG 3, Pat Riley, Spoelstra. Just being in the NBA finals will never be good enough. They predicted 7 RINGS so its 7 they should accomplish.
walang championship experince e, si wade lang gumagawa buong 4th quarteractually meron championship experience si LBJ konti nga lang. nilampaso ng spurs ;D
Actually start pa lang ng season marami na nag doubt sa Miami sabi nila ma KO agad Heat sa 1st round pa lang ng play-offs. Tapos, sabi 'di daw mananalo Heat sa Celtics, tapos sa Bulls. Ngayong nasa championship na Heat, biglang sasabihin llamado sila? Pano din masasabi na nasa Heat ang 4 best players, eh sabi nyo (?) dati si Bosh ang weakest link sa 3, tapos choker si LBJ. So parang si Wade lang ang stable player sa Miami.people said that because they so hate lebron.you should look at the player of dallas compared to miami.on paper talaga miami should dominate this mavs team who only has dirk as a lone superstar of the team.
3 SUPERSTAR VS 1 SUPERSTAR = 2 ALL
meron pa ban mas dikit na playoffs series like this one?puro close games except game 1
kawawang lebron, pinuputakti na naman ng mga critics. ang mahirap sa basketball, kahit anong accomplishments pa ang nagawa, a player is always judged based on the last performance. kaya bawi ka na lng lebron, pour in 40 pts 20 rebs and 15 asts at blankohin mo si terry sa game 5.
I'm happy kse nanalo mavs. :)
Hindi naman. Tinitira si Lebron based on his last 4 performances. ;D

LBJ scored 9 pts in the 4Q in 4 games. Dirk is only slightly better with 44 :D
Hindi naman. Tinitira si Lebron based on his last 4 performances. ;D
lbj accomplishments? ::)
lbj accomplishments? ::)
Guys let's quit LBJ is the best. James patuloy ka lang na ganyan ha you may have a big fan base sa Dallas :)idol ko na din sya pa ganyan sya ng ganyan ;D
sige lang... babawi ang Heat sa homecourt nila...
ala sa mood maglaro si LJ... badtrip...
paano kaya kung nasa attack mood si LJ... eh di iniwan sa kangkungan ang Dallas...
Game 5 is do or die for the Mavs. Whoever wins game 5 wins it all.
Get the ball out of Lebron's hands and let Wade take over.
That goes the same for the Heat then...
may kaasaran ako na biglang nag log out na.hahahahaha!
kumain ng alikabok sa kangkungan yung miami! ;D

saktoooooooooooo
Hahahaayos lang yan mga bossing. masaya naman ang asaran, wala lng mapipikon ;D ;D go spo!
Para ko ng nakikinita, laglag tayo sa mga yan pag natalo Mavs sa Game 5... ;D
i know but i was referring to james who promised to be more aggressive but did not deliver!
he is very aggressive in passing the ball

brader pao wala lang sa mood si LBJ kaya ganyan, nung mga naka raang post sabi ko nag bago na ako ng pananaw kay LBJ kase ang galing sa Bulls series eh pero ngayon malunkgot ako kase wala daw sya sa mood mag laro, in tayin ko na lang maging maayos ulit ang mood ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ang nagbabagang Heat sa Game 4...
sana naman sa Game 5... lumagabgab ang apoy ng Miami at tupukin ang Dallas...
oras na para magsindi na ulit ng kandila...
Dpogs, bahala ka na sa Mavs fans ha. Kaya mo yan ;D Kumain tayo ng alikabok eh.. Haha. Ganyan lang talaga buhay.
Ok naman si Lebron ah. Nag 40+ pts na. Total ng 4 games! @#$$$.
I was watching the game live kanina ( in between a meeting ). Ayaw tumira noh? Di naman pwede alang gana. Wala naman sya sakit eh. Baka naman nag ala - Fernandez?
I'd say Miami will take Game 5 and close the Mavs in Game 6. That's all for now. Di ako maka-analyze ng mabuti ngayon eh. Dami ko pang sinasagot sa sms, FB at twitter. Ayaw akong tantanan ng Mavs friends ko >:(
aalagaan namin si dpogs for you brader mattia.ahahahaha ;D
o eto na, nag promise na si dpogs, este si Lebron pala...
As he departed, James offered a promise: “I’ll come back in Game 5 and do the things that need to be done to help our team win.”
and correct e if im wrong,pero wasn't it lbj who predicted they would win 7 rings?
nag text sa akin si LJ...
may Diarrhea daw siya.. kaya di makabuwelo ng mahusay...
sa sobrang HEAT siguro kaya nagka-diarrhea ;D
Hahaha
Para ko ng nakikinita, laglag tayo sa mga yan pag natalo Mavs sa Game 5... ;D
Cool Tweets... ;Dmukhang sinadaya lang yata ni scottie icompare si lbj kay mj para mas nerbyosin lbj after talunin un bulls niya...hehehe
Jordan never scored less than 20. I can imagine Scottie Pippen's phone will be going directly to voice mail for the duration of the Finals.
As the supposed King of Miami, tonight Lebron was less Tony Montana and more Hannah Montana.
After being compared to Michael Jordan, LeBron must have thought Pippen was referring to His Airness' embarrassing baseball career. WOW!
All Lebron can do is watch in awe as D. Wade is securing the MVP right before his eyes. Just an unbelievable, unrelenting, soulful player!
Dwyane Wade is just a bundle of acrobatic love, an energetic blend of vivid wonder and amazement that makes me smile in awe!
LeBron James isn't even performing like Scottie Pippen in this game, he is putting up more of a Dickie Simpkins type effort.
With only 4 nondescript points through the first 12 minutes of the game, LeBron must have thought it was the 4th quarter instead if the 1st.
Yeah. That's kind of what I meant by "whoever." :)
The winner of Game 5 will be the winner of the series. I'm calling it.
@greggdoyelcbs Gregg Doyel
One game after arguing with me about "shrinkage," LeBron said he doesn't have "aggression." What's the difference?
binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ang nagbabagang Heat sa Game 4...
sana naman sa Game 5... lumagabgab ang apoy ng Miami at tupukin ang Dallas...
oras na para magsindi na ulit ng kandila...
and correct e if im wrong,pero wasn't it lbj who predicted they would win 7 rings?that translates to them thinking of themselves as being THE team to beat.so pano naging dehado miami dito,if they view the other teams as inferior compared to them?
ako rin magtitirik ng kandila. ;D
all eyes will be on lbj in game5. babawi ba o titiklop?
Players and fighters say those thing to hype the fight. Madaming players sa NBA na pag nalipat sa bagong team sasabihin na they will bring the trophy to the city that they are playing. Kahit 'yung players na napag champion 'yung team nila sinabi din na they will win more championships, pero wala. Ilan na ba opponent ni Pacquiao ang nagsabi na tatalunin nla si Pacquiao? Lahat! Pero nanalo ba? Ganun lang 'yun. They say things to hype the fight or the game.
Now, game 5 is tomorrow, hopefully change court na ang asaran ;D
I guess it's no secret now that we're going to see an "aggressive" Lebron James tomorrow. Something tells me he's going to be overly aggressive (i.e., less touches for Wade, LBJ making plays outside the team's sets), and it just might backfire on the Heat. Kutob ko lang.

When saying this series is even, it goes deeper than saying each team has won two games so far in the finals. Through four games, some of the statistical similarities are absurd.
— Points: Miami is averaging 89, Dallas 87.8.
— Rebounds: Dallas is averaging 40, Miami 39.
— Field-goal percentage: Miami 42.8, Dallas 41.4.
— 3-point percentage: Miami 34.5, Dallas 34.2.
its becauseprior to that "the decision" was done in bad taste and the early celebration in which "they did it" without doing anything really. it all adds up
The "Decision" although done in bad taste, was legal, did not violate any law. How can someone be scrutinized for doing something legal. 'Di rin early celebration ang reason kung bakit sila natalo sa Mavs nun game 2. Nun game 4 medyo lamang din naman Heat, 'di naman sila nag celebrate and yet natalo pa din. Magaling lang din talaga Mavs. Konting utot lang kasi ni LBJ napapansin agad, ganun sya kasikat sa mga critics.
Go Miami ! ;D

NO EXCUSES.
LBJ should just do what he's paid to do. Thats bringing NBA titles to Miami.
And live up to the hype that he himself created. Look, if only he had the demeanor of say, DRose or DWade, I don't think he will have as many detractors or haters that he has now. But ang lakas ng dating masyado ni LBJ eh. "The Chosen One". The King. The Next MJ. Then he abandoned Cleveland to team up with Wade and Bosh. All these didn't sit well with a lot of people.
I think Kobe also had the same problem. But Kobe most often, stepped up to the challenges. The Black Mamba had silenced his critics time and again.
Now the drama is on Lebron James. Tomorrow is a huge, huge game. Technically, it's unfair to expect so much from such a young and talented player but as I said, LBJ brought this upon himself. So he has no choice but to rise to the occasion. There is so much anticipation not only on who will win tomorrow, but how Lebron will respond. Haters want him to fail. Fans wish for a redeeming game. All eyes are on Bron tomorrow.
Isa lang masasabi ko --- ang tagal pa ng bukas noh?
bukas... ilalampaso ang Dallas...
bukas... kakain ng alikabok ang Dallas...
bukas... pupulutin sa kangkungan ang Dallas...
bukas... buburuhin ang Dallas...
bukas... masusunog ang Dallas...
bukas... sana mangyari lahat nang nasa taas... :)
Well said bro,...
Can't wait for an EPIC FAIL again,.. LOL
yup perfectly legal but done in bad taste, the celebration i was talking about was after "the decision" if you're a real miami heat fan you know what im talking about, yup have to hand it to lebron, naka magnifying glass sya too bad under it he wasnt performing as supposedly he should have.
Here ya go.parang entrance sa wrestling ;D

Kaya naman pala ganyan si Lebron eh!

D Wade with bruised hip (http://www.philstar.com/SportsArticle.aspx?articleId=694843&publicationSubCategoryId=200&keyword=)
triple double na si LBJ
kidd for 3!!! ;D
yup. a much better game from James.
i take it back. nakakafrustrate lang mag-expect. haha. tirang takot pa rin, settling for outside shots.
LBJ veryy agressive in passing the ball and missing the shots
Nakikita ko na ang maalikabok na kangkungan...
LeBoink!!!
;D
nbc
LBJ Panis!!!!!!!
File a missing persons Report!!! Someone is missing in the 4th quarter again!!!!!
Looks like 3-2 for Mavs
Great game by LBJ Triple Double but not good enough to lead his Heat to victory.
Lebron...oh boy! That's 5 4th quarter games already! :D
wade teamed up with the wrong "superstar" hahaha!
comparable to MJ? he can't even compare to Pippen. lol.
Bron needs to be a closer. It can't be DWade all the time.

Ok lang talo HEAT, tripple double naman si LBJ.. ;D ;D ;D
Ampusa! 'yung charging foul na tinawag kay LBJ against Chandler dapat "and 1" pa 'yun. 'Yun 1 foot ni Chandler nasa loob ng circle. Ayus lang! Back to Miami home court na. Hopefully magkaroon ng game 7. O 'yung mga mahilig sa underdog, lipat na sa Miami, sila na ngayon ang dehado ;D

Na-MAFIA yan,... ;D
Seriously speaking,mas magaling kasi yong coach ng DALLAS ;)
hindi ko akalain na mahihirapan ang HEAT,
considering na ilan ang "superstars" nila,
I thought sweep yan, tipong sasagasaan lang ng HEAT ang MAVS.
Yan ang gusto kong makita talaga, hindi mentras puno ng "superstar"
ang roster mo ay makukuha mo na agad agad ang championship,
I really love seeing LBJ lose, brings him back to reality, it may not be over,
but as fas as I see it, kita na ng mundo ang laro ng so called "king" James,...
mas magaling kasi yong coach ng DALLAS ;)
nakaka takot pag si Wade ang may hawak ng bola parang lista mo na.. buti na lang.. Thanks LBJ, thanks for the missed 3 and the charging foul..
yeah.. 1 more win baby..
I doubt that sir,...
Mas nagagalingan ko si Eric Spoelstra,
(but I really prefer Tom Thib's style...)
Cheering against Miami is a good feeling. I recommend it to everybody.

Lebron & Wade mock Dirksaw that vid,makes me think what dirk did to them (except beat them) that merits this,i mean i would understand if it was stevenson or terry they are mocking.but dirk?he's always been down to earth during interviews and why do this to the best player of the opposing team,this is what other team do against mj during finals and it was'nt a very smart move for the oposing team.they just gave another motivation for dirk to play his best come game 6.

i wonder if the mavs will do the same and mock wade and his hip injury?
Let's Go Heat! Beat the Mavs!
what are the odds this goes to a game 7?
not an optimist but based on their performance on games 1 and 2 wherein they can dominate and given that it's their homecourt advantage, there's a big chance that it can go to game 7. but hey, lakers just did it last year. who knows!
the mavs should dominate from start to finish.no more of that come from behind thing,mahirap kung magkaroon ng confidence ang heat sa homecourt nila.
GO MAVS!
Lebron & Wade mock Dirkthey got it all wrong,first of all they are not coughing,they are CHOKING!lol

Today's crunch-time best vs. Air Jordan (http://espn.go.com/blog/TrueHoop/post/_/id/29844/todays-crunch-time-best-vs-air-jordan)
Who is the best crunch-time player, the NBA's ultimate closer?
World peace may be simpler to solve.
The assumption has long been that among active players it's Kobe Bryant -- but that story's on thin ice, as Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James (at least, a series ago) and Dwyane Wade have driven the conversation lately.
And the one real core assumption underlying everything is that nobody, and I mean nobody, can match Michael Jordan's record.
Now that we're knee-deep in the information age, a new question looms: How, exactly, did Jordan do, and how does that compare to today's players?
Michael Jordan was 9-of-18 over his career, and the league as a whole shoots 27.8 percent with the game on the line. How do today's players stack up on shots taken when trailing by one or two points, or tied, in the final 24 seconds of playoff games since 1996-97 with a minimum of three makes? (*Represents players who also played before 1996-1997 -- so the numbers below reflect partial careers.) From Alok Pattani of ESPN Stats & Information and NBA StatsCube.

ESPN's Alok Pattani compiled an exhaustive list of Michael Jordan's career potential go-ahead or game-tying field goal attempts in final 24 seconds of fourth quarter or overtime in the playoffs:
1. Made go-ahead 2
First round vs. Bucks, Game 3, April 24, 1985
With the Bulls trailing 107-106, Jordan hit the eventual game-winning jumper from the corner with 22 seconds left. The Bulls won 109-107.
2. Missed go-ahead 2
First round at Celtics, Game 2, April 20, 1986
With the score tied at 125 late in the fist overtime, Jordan misses a 15-footer with three seconds left. The Bulls would go on to lose the game in double overtime, 135-131, despite Jordan's NBA playoff-record 63 points.
3. Missed go-ahead 2
First round vs. Cavaliers, Game 4, May 5, 1989
With the score tied at 99, Jordan missed a fadeaway jumper from the baseline in the last second of regulation. The Bulls would go on to lose the game in overtime, 108-105.
4. and 5. Two made go-ahead 2s
First round at Cavaliers, Game 5, May 7, 1989
With the Bulls trailing 98-97 late, Jordan hits a 12-footer from the right side to give the Bulls a one-point lead with six seconds remaining. After Craig Ehlo hit a layup with three seconds left to put the Cavaliers ahead once again, Jordan hit "the Shot" -- a jumper from the free throw line over Ehlo at the buzzer -- to give the Bulls a 101-100 win and the series.
6. Made go-ahead 2
Conference finals Game 3 vs. Pistons, May 27, 1989 (makes go-ahead 2-pointer)
With the game tied at 97, Jordan sailed down the right side of the lane before pulling-up for a jumper with about three seconds left to give the Bulls the lead in a game the Bulls won by two.
7. Missed go-ahead 2
NBA Finals Game 1 vs. Lakers, June 2, 1991
With the Bulls trailing 92-91 with 9 seconds left, Jordan took a pass near midcourt, drove towards the basket, and then pulled up for an 18-foot jumper that missed with about 3 seconds left. Lakers won 93-91.
8. Made game-tying 2
NBA Finals Game 3 at Lakers, June 5, 1991
With the Bulls trailing 92-90, Jordan went coast to coast and dropped in a 12-footer with 3.4 seconds left send the game into overtime. The Bulls went on to win 104-96.
9. Missed go-ahead 2
NBA Finals Game 2 vs Trail Blazers, June 5, 1992
With the game tied at 97, Jordan had a chance to win it with two seconds left but his jumper over Terry Porter banged off the back of the rim. The Blazers went on to win 115-104 in overtime.
10. Made go-ahead 2
Second round Game 4 at Cavaliers, May 17, 1993
With the score tied at 101, Jordan made an 18-foot fadeaway jumper over Gerald Wilkins at the final buzzer to give the Bulls a 103-101 victory.

Second round Game 3 at Knicks, May 11, 1996
With the Bulls trailing 88-85, Jordan hit a 3-pointer over Derek Harper with 19.4 seconds left. With the score tied at 88, Jordan then tried to gather an errant inbounds pass and threw up a wild hook shot while falling out of bounds well behind the 3-point line. He missed and the Bulls would go on to lose in overtime 102-99.
13. Missed go-ahead 2
First round Game 3 at Bullets, April 30, 1997
With the Bulls trailing 95-94 with about 11 seconds left in the fourth, Jordan had his shot blocked by Tracy Murray. (It appeared Jordan lost the ball on the way up, but he was credited with a shot attempt nonetheless.) The ball bounced out to Scottie Pippen, who took the rebound in for a go-ahead "and one" dunk with seven seconds remaining. Though Pippen missed the ensuing free throw, the Bulls held on to win 96-95.
14. Made go-ahead 2
Finals Game 1 vs. Jazz, June 1, 1997
After Karl Malone missed two free throws with nine seconds left in the fourth quarter and the score tied at 82, Jordan hit a 20-foot jumper over Bryon Russell at the buzzer to give the Bulls an 84-82 win.

16. Missed go-ahead 3
Conference Finals Game 4 at Pacers, May 25, 1998
With the Bulls down 2 and 0.7 seconds left on the clock, Jordan caught an inbounds pass and shot a 3-pointer that rolled around and out at the buzzer. The Bulls lost 96-94.
17. Missed go-ahead 3
Finals Game 5 vs. Jazz, June 12, 1998
Trailing by two with 0.8 seconds left, Jordan caught an inbounds pass and launched a fallaway desperation 3 that missed everything at the buzzer. The Bulls lost by a final score of 83-81.
18. Made go-ahead 2
Finals Game 6 at Jazz, June 14, 1998
With the Bulls trailing 86-85 late in the fourth, Jordan drove right, crossed over at the top of the key, gave the stumbling Bryon Russell an extra little push, and hit the game-winning jumper with 5.2 seconds left. This shot -- Jordan’s famous “Last Shot” with the Bulls -- would provide the final score in Chicago’s 87-86 victory.

Funny about stats like that...... so Prince is the ultimate crunch time player..... while 4 of the bottom 6 are at one point...NBA Finals MVPs.
If I would design a play for a game tying or game winning shot, would I choose Prince over any of those 4 Finals MVP winners?? ;)
Dirk Nowitzki calls mocking incident ‘childish’
http://sports.inquirer.net/4896/dirk-nowitzki-calls-mocking-incident-%E2%80%98childish%E2%80%99
Actually, if you've read the article, it states that Jordan is the ultimate crunch time player. It just elaborates on how today's stars stack up against him on this particular metric of measuring crunch time performance.
I saw the Wade and Lebron bit and how they were allegedly mocking Dirk. And all I can say is, Lebron wasn't mocking Dirk coz he was actually choking. He does that a lot, mind you. ;D
suspend everyone that came off the bench! hahaha

Gawin na lang nilang 1-on-1 yung finals kung may game 7.
Brian Cardinal vs. Dexter Pittman ;D
this looks bad for Miami. high scoring game na naman :-\
halftime pa lang a.suko na miami fans? ???
sino si dexter pittman? ;DMAIN EVENT
di naman sumusuko pero mas pabor kasi sa Miami pag low scoring eh. they're letting the Mavs to shoot 50% from the 3 point area. IMO, this is a bad sign.

Malapit na manalo Mavs. Partida pa yan! Hindi pa nailalabas ni Lebron ang laro niya. Di pa yan umiiskor. Di na niya siguro mailalabas ang laro niya! Tapos na eh! :D
EPIC FAILURE!!!

Congrats Dallas 2010-2011 NBA CHAMPION!!!!
Sorry LBJ bringing ur talent to Miami isnt good enough.
better Luck next year, find ways to counter the CURSE Cleveland cast upon u.
nice one nowitzki,kudos to jt for carrying the mavs this time.although that 2 shots by dirk was crucial.
Congrats to Dallas. Well, i don't think they can repeat since the motivation won't be as strong as they have finally won one and won it against the team that they lost to before in 2006.talking about repeat already?let the mavs cherish this championship for as long as they can.btw,the pressure is still on miami for predicting those championship rings
Waaaah! Great Game. Thanks You Cignal HD.

congrats na nga Dallas teams and Dallas fans....
(okay na rin... basta wag lang Lakers ha ha ha)
ha ha ha.. nice one...
MIAMI in 7...
then saka na natin pulutin ang Dallas sa kangkungan na puno ng burak at alikabok...
pambihira... magisa na lang ata akong Heat fans dito ah...
bad trip talaga... pinulot sa burak na kangkungan ang team ko...
next year... bawi ako... (badtrip... tagal pa).
Heat has a serious problem. if they want to win, spoelstra needs to take out James from the game. fight fire with fire. nakahabol sila kanina nung may mga shooters sila.coach erik has no balls to sit lbj despite the fact that lbj continues to melt down in the 4th quarter.baka natatakot sya na banggain ulit sya ni lbj ;D
Congrats sa mavs at buwisit ang channel 2 sa pag overide sa pagsasalita ni jason kidd.
coach erik has no balls to sit lbj despite the fact that lbj continues to melt down in the 4th quarter.baka natatakot sya na banggain ulit sya ni lbj ;D
LBJ still no ring tsktsktsk este ubo,ubo,ubo pala
dirk and Jkidd - hall of famer na, may ring pa! ;D
That's the part na nakakaiinis kila mga local broadcasters. They don't know when to shut up. It's as if they think that they should be interpreting the game for us.

What's German for "Payback"? :)
now,this is how you celebrate,not before the season,not during the game when there is so much time left in the game
Congrats to the Mavs!
Congrats to Coach Eric for making it this far. Better luck next year.
Nakakaiyak yung celebration ng Mavs. They're like one of those teams from those underdog sports movies. Plenty of washed-up/disgraces/aging players finally getting their due. I think even Chris Bosh was touched coz' he was holding back his tears as he was walking to the locker room.
2011 PLAYOFFS

YOUNG STARS EMERGING
LAKERS EXPOSED/HUMILIATED

BEST. PLAYOFFS. EVER.
is King still suitable for LBJ??king of pain ;D
He's now 0-2 in his Finals appearances.
Lebron would make a good addition for the Lakers or the Celtics or the Mavericks next year. ;D
kaya nga maski anong bati dito na KABAYAN is a great coach, di ako napasakay.
for him to be great, KAILANGAN NARENDAHAN NYA ANG BIG3.
mag ala-gekko kaya si patriley at sibakin agad si erik? what now kung sibakin siya?
redcarpet welcome sa pba?

erik dampier losses to the heat in 06 as a mav, ngayon naman losses to the mavs as a heat hahaha
have to give props to rick carlisle, starting barea was a stroke of genius, he rang rings around bibby, and when spo countered (albeit late) with chalmers in game 6, miami lost a spark from the bench.
How about King Kangkong?

Hey Lebron how many championships have you won again?
(http://mattlerman18.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/morrisontrophy.jpg)
dapat may bluray edition din :)
Just so you know....
Lebron was the worst player on court in game 6.
Heat was outcored 24pts when he was on the court.
Kidd, Marion and Cardinal were all +18.
Wade and Bosh were +3 and +4.
Dirk was at -4.
Coach Spoelstra should have benched Lebron ;D ;D ;D ;D
just got one in quiapo, ambilis! ::) ;D

Those are the 2 Heat players I hate the most. Because I'm a racist. Don't try to convince me that Mike Miller isn't black. He is as black as they come.
And I decided that despite the Dirk-mocking incident, I still like D Wade. I can't hate anybody who sticks around to congratulate the winners after having suffered such a brutal defeat.
Barea poor man's Steve Nash ;D ;D
JJ Barea, this guy is awesome. Parang si Hector Calma kung maglaro.
Interview with Chris Webber.
CWebb : "How tall are you Chris?"
Barea : "5'10", 5'11"
CWebb : "Get outta here...5'10?" Get outta here, JJ... you must be 5'1, 5'2" bro..."
It's actually a complement. How JJ ran rings over the Heat.
i say he's more of a Jason Kidd in the making coz he's quite stocky same with Kidd.
Not only is JJ a winner, but he's also banging a former Ms. Universe. :-*

yup, parang lil version nga ni J Kidd
Tapos na NBA >:( kakalungkot. it's been one of the most fun, despite having no lakers and boston eh? and pasalamat na rin kayo sa Heat, with all their shenanigans. naging very interesting ang finals this year.
NCAA / UAAP season next ;D ;D ;D

makes me wonder more....bakit nga kaya hindi nagpang-abot si dirk at ang big3?
ayaw makipag-plastikan ni dirk? o takot mahawaan ng ubo ni lbj at dw?
tingin ko naniniwala si dirk na the team should be built around him.
he has more pride than lbj.
Nobody is mentioning it but Peja is now a champion! :D
iba ang german pride!
sorry i was referring to the aftergame congrats ekek etc. dirk went to the dugout with 1.2secs left to compose himself daw...while lbj just went without congratulating the mavs.
mas ok talaga si dwade at cbosh. binati si jkidd.
yan ba ang ipapalit niyo kay MJ?
sabagay mj never, i repeeeat, never,,,lost an nba finals. 6-0 at finals mvp pa! oh well, he never had to be on the other end to congratulate the champs hehehe

ma-mi-miss ko si dpogs dito sa thread. (dun uli sa ibaba pogs'd! ;D
request po - last post ng thread kay dpogs then pls lock thread
If this is a serious request, I'll honor it. But if people still want their fun, then it will remain open.
I do request that all discussion about the off season and the impending lockout be in a separate thread.

So, this means all 3 Franchises from the "Texas Triangle" has at least 1 championship banner. Spurs = 4; Rockets = 2; Mavs = 1 ... CONGRATULATIONS!
anong kaguluhan to...
pasalamat kayong mga Dallas fans... na mafia ang Miami...
kung hindi... baka Dallas ang pinulot sa kangkungan...
okay na rin ang 2-5 na standing sa final... kesa sa masweep ng Dallas...
babangon ang MIAMI mula sa pagkakabaon sa burak... NBA 2012 sila naman ang tatayo sa pedestal...

Thats possible if they can make LBJ a fighter out of a QUITER in him.
He did the same last year with the Cavs against Boston in Game 6.
He did it again this year with the Heat.
This player just gives up so easily there's absolutely no resiliency in him.
Kaya dapat batukan si Pippen for comparing LBJ to his Airness,...
???
I'm gonna play nba 2k11 on ps3 tonight and beat the hell out of Miami Heat AGAIN ;D..hehehe
okay na rin ang 2-5 na standing sa final... kesa sa masweep ng Dallas...

Actually this also applies to all who rooted for him to win but in a worse way, you are miserable because your team lost and will be more miserable tomorrow because you still have your own crappy life. :)

James is 26 years old but looks like a 36 years old and thinks like a 16 year old.

Once during the preseason games yata ng Lakers sa Italy ( i can't recall ), Kobe was asked by reporters who will win between him and Lebron on a one on one. Alam nyo sagot ni Black Mamba? "Him? I can beat him. In my sleep!" Hahaha. Tama naman. Puro pasabit lang gagawin ni Kobe kay LBJ. Agree with you here : Kobe is built for one on one.

The only time i will cheer for LBJ is for him to return to Cleveland and win a Championship for his hometown.
Thats the only way he can redeem himself and prove that he's worthy.
Parang si THOR he must prove he's worthy.
for now cleveland is one happy laughing place...
i dont think theyll welcome him back
lbj will never live this 4th quarter thing down,unless he wins one eventually. ;D

According to some, si Wade daw ang hero not Lebron. What!? Gusto nyo pang gumawa si Lebron sa lagay na ito? E di lalo nangamote ang Mavs. I believe LBJ is reserving his A Game when needed. When the game is on the line. But if the Mavs will play like this, where they can't even beat the Heat who played below par (malas pa nga eh!), how can they expect to even win one game in the series? Baka di na kailangan gumawa si LBJ. Kaya na yata ni Wade at Bosh eh. ;D
I am quite selective when I buy NBA Finals DVDs, and I rooted for Dallas just for this year's Finals. But I think I'm going to buy this one when it comes out:

Not much in terms of special features at this point, but I hope it includes something about Lebron and the word "loser".

Bosh is a nice guy. Di kagaya ni wade and LeChoke na mayabang. Kaya lang wala din siya nagawa sa game 6. T

I do believe malaki ang ibabagsak ng sales ng shoes and jersey nitong si LBJ after all of these,
sya lang naman din ang pwedeng magbangon ng image nya sa mundo...

Pinakain ng Alikabok sa Burak na may Kangkong ;D ;D ;D
I so remember this quote and had to find it again hehehehehe. I called it at 6 for Mavs and it made me money wooohooo.
Hanep sa comment si LBJ kahapon,
sagot na parang nagmamalaki pa rin ah,...
Hands down, sya na ang pinaka-aayawan na player sa NBA ngayon...
Sa halip na magbaba ng tono sa statement parang nanlait
pa ng mga pumupuna sa kanya ah...
Hope hindi sya makatikim ng championship, what an *SSHOLE...
But let's face it, guys. This Miami Heat team, whether you hate them or you really hate them ::), this team caught our fancy. And probably they will in the years to come.
What a humbled Lebron should have said.....or a non-douche player would have replied
"everybody has its own share of critics......and tonight I failed in my task of disproving them......for now, Ill move on and learn from this, and will work on my game this offseason, and never stop working till I win a title"
Sino ba publicist ni Lebron?? He is being publicized for all the wrong reasons.....he isnt had any criminal record or anything.........he is the most hated athlete in sports just for being an A-Hole!! ;D
Right, Sir
I'm hoping the hate craze will continue next season. I'd be disappointed if they will stop scrutinizing Miami. We kinda learn to embrace the villain role. Saka magiging boring pag nawala sila. Wink
can we really blame him for that? he's down and out and people still keep on giving him a curb stomping. people keep on dissing him and when he reacts, whether good or bad, he gets more criticisms one way or the other. the guy could only take so much and everyone has a limit on their patience. he already apologized for "The Decision" and what did he get back in return for the apology? more backlash.
It definitely will. And if ever it will stop, I'm sure the NBA or the media will find something to hate. Know why? It's big money. Sabi ko nga sa yo, because of Lebron and the Big 3, umapaw ang pera sa viewership, sa internet, sa blogs, everywhere! Kaya gusto yan ng NBA. Negative SELLS big time.
If I were Lebron, I will do less talking and more winning. Si Kobe ganyan din. Madami haters. But he keeps silencing critics by his game and not his words. Ika nga e, ang basketball nasa court. Wala sa twitter.

Parang Floyd Mayweather Jr lang pala. People pay and watch his fights not because they like him, but because they want to see him lose.
Problem lang...ke Mayweather....his haters hadnt seen him lose in his championship fights.....
Ke Lebron....bigay hilig ;D ;D ;D

I'm actually going to forgive him for that poorly conducted post season interview, but I am using it as an indicator if he is ready to grow up. Right now, the answer is no.
But I can't wait for the drama the off season has in store as far as Miami is concerned.

In other news, people are giving Coach Spo a hard time on Twitter (if it really is him and not an impostor)
http://twitter.com/SpoelstraErik/status/80444444054274048
I feel bad for the guy.
I hate to be an employee of Pat Riley,...
Medyo mabigat ang expectation mula sa kanya...
tagal naman ng 2012 season ;D
What are chances that Spo will be replaced? Pat Riley coach next year?
Kapag nakinig ka nga sa mga usapang barbero, matatawa ka sa dami ng intriga,
from the time na nagkakainitan si Spo at si LBJ and Wade,
na kung saan ibig ibig na raw palitan ni Riley si Spo at mukhang nahihirapan
syang PALIITIN ang EGO ni LBJ, at baka makialam na nga daw si Riley
sa coaching ulit, it seems ibig nilang sabihin na puppet coach lang ang labas ni Spo talaga...
Again, I have nothing against the FIL-AM coach, it just so happen na medyo mabibigat ang mga tao nya,
puro superstar at feeling superstar hehehe, I really hate to be in his shoes, the whole world is watching them...

most people who hate him now are the same persons responsible for him acting like a spoiled brat most especially the Media. they glorified him to the point that his ego is even higher than the Japan earthquake on the richter scale. ::)
Parang Floyd Mayweather Jr lang pala. People pay and watch his fights not because they like him, but because they want tao see him lose.ang pagkakaiba nila si fmj wala pang talo so hindi sya madikdik nung mga citics nya.ang problema kasi sa boxing puede ka mamili ng gusto mong kalabanin.so ang tira lang ng critics nya umiiwas sya sa laban.parang ganun din naman ginawa ni lbj,sumama sya sa 3 superstar para maiwasan yung pagkatalo,kaya lang ganun pa din nangyari kaya sumatutal dikdik inabot nya sa critics nya.am sure kung nagchampion yung miami kahit di man sya mag mvp at least to some extent di ganun kabigat yung criticisms na matatangap nya
speaking of dampier,ang malas ng tao.malamang wala na sya sa miami next season,ang malas pa nyan kung may iba pang team na kukuha sa kanya.baka isipin nila may balat sa puwet si dampier
in 06,he was with dallas.talo.
in '11,sa miami na sya,talo pa rin. ;D
sya ang salarin!!! ;D
malamang wala na sya sa miami next season,ang malas pa nyan kung may iba pang team na kukuha sa kanya.baka isipin nila may balat sa puwet si dampier
after some people comparing lbj to jordan,now they are comparing him to pippen
http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2011/06/13/is-king-james-really-prince-pippen/
hey,to be compared to pippen is a great accomplishment already don't you think?a player like pippen does'nt come very often
Pippen is one of the most versatile players off all time. Even if he has an off night offensively, you still don't take him out off the ballgame. He can still impact the game in different aspects.
speaking of dampier,ang malas ng tao.oo nga...kainis... ;D
in 06,he was with dallas.talo.
in '11,sa miami na sya,talo pa rin. ;D

What can I say, totoo pala ang kasabihan “Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.” Biglang dumami 'yung experts at critics nun natalo Miami. But when Miami was rolling, konti lang post. Ngayong natalo, kakaunti na lang din nagtatanggol. ::)
oo nga...kainis... ;D
ska di pa naman tapos ang nba eh..
andami pang seasons na darating..mamaya magulat tau....back to back to back ang bitawan ni lbj...no one really knows....only manny knows... ;D
To my recollection, he is the only player of that talent and skills that plays the worst when the game matters most.

Apple just announced the LEBRON IPHONE: it only vibrates. No rings.
Browsed some Miami Heat forums....
1. Lots of heat fans are suggesting spoelstra be replaced
2. Some blame lebron for the hate that befell the team
3. Some suggests a trade for either lebron or bosh....to get another all star who can fit
4. Others suggest to have lebron psycho analyzed by the team
Too busy to watch the NBA Finals and just update myself via reading online. But, I read somewhere na LBJ started crapping himself in a pivotal game where Wade gave him a good scolding in one of the Finals games and he wasnt the same since then. I think Bill Simmons wrote about it. He said it was maybe too much for Lebron to handle such a public humiliation by a teammate, in front of national tv.
try scolding MJ or a Kobe ;D ;D ;D

i think kahit nung nanalo madami pa ding nag post, nagkataon lang talaga na LBJ attracts much attention. im one of those na ayaw sa kanya but during the bulls series, i was brave enough to admit i am having a change of mind about him because he has really played well in all 4th quarters of that series very far from how he was prior to that. I was expecting that during the championship, he will finally silence all his critics but that did not happen. To my recollection, he is the only player of that talent and skills that plays the worst when the game matters most. This is just my opinion and is surely based on how i see things. The games that they won were not even caused by him but by wade and bosh.
at the end of the day, unless LBJ change his attitude, i guess haters will chase him all his life like a shadow.
if changing his attitude is not feasible, only one way to silence his critics, win a championship
Grabe ang galit ng tao kay LBJ,...
Tapos na ang season, tuloy pa rin ang pang-aasar sa kanya ah,...
He can only sit and think of next season kung paano sya makakaahon sa BURAK nya...
Wahahaha...
pre, you sound like dpogs ;D lakas ng impluwensya sa yo ah.. hahaha
"I could have played better," Lebron said. "At the end of the day, I want to do great for my teammates and I put a lot of pressure not to let my teammates down . . . maybe to a fault at times.
"To summarize how I played in the Finals, I didn't play up to my own standards. Did that cost us losing the Finals? I don't know. But I'm not satisfied with my performance."
It was a particularly reflective moment for James.
"Everything that has to do with a low in life probably describes what I'm feeling right now," he said. "This isn't the end of the road for me, this isn't the end of the road for the Miami Heat.
"At the end of the day, I've got to pick myself back up."

bring in the next pretender to his airness' throne!
Maybe not in our lifetime sir,...
I have been watching some reruns of the the BULLS run on BTV,
particularly the CHAMPIONSHIP games, and and all I cay is that MJ
is by far the best, he can dictate the tempo of the game, he can ignite
the team's morale, he is by far the best in my opinion, and the chemistry of the
BULLS then was simply magnificent, with the like of Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Longley, Kerr,
plus the wisdom of the Zen Master, it was indeed a DYNASTY...
Hindi sya pwedeng ikumpara sa kahit kaninong player lang, he is like the BASKETBALL GOD...
And we are all truly lucky to have seen him play, kaya nga naghahanap ako ng video ng CHICAGO BULLS
para mapanuod ng mga anak ko kung gaano sya kagaling talaga...
I found a DVD in amazon though sumakit ang ulo ko sa price:

for now, no one. both are still laughable. Cleveland has the 2nd worst record in the NBA and LBJ has one of the worst NBA Finals performance.
But who's laughing now? At sino ang mas katawatawa ngayon?

kung hindi done in bad taste ang decision at ang advance championship celebration (ginawa sa preseason), hindi sana ganun na lang ang galit ng mga taga cleveland. they were hurt, felt betrayed iniwan sa ere. nag-choke na nga nung cavs pa lumayas pa kaagad. imbis na ipangako na babawi tayo next season, i will stick it out with the cavs nag-alsabalutan agad.
eto namang miami, gusto instant championship team (in preparation to fulfilling patrileys dynasty dream- namiss niya showtime lakers ni kareem-magic-jamesWorthy; ayan jamesUNworthy nakuha niyahaha)

as a fans... siyempre... pipili ako ng team... and then aasang manalo ang team ko...
saan ka naman nakakita ng fans na ang iniisip ay ang matalo ang team... always think positive... nang nagdecide ako na miami ang kampihan... then... i will assume na mananalo ito (un nga lang... nabokya ang heat)
saka sarap mangasar kapag maraming asar talo na fans ng kalabang team... he he he... saka di naman masama loob ko nang matalo ang heat...
siguro sasama loob ko kung magchampion ang lakers ngayon... ha ha ha...
Sa tingin niyo ba, mananalo ulit next year ang DAL sa championship?
sa tingin ko hindi na eh, magpapalakas ng roster lahat ng teams, especially Miami, NY, Chicago at LA.. plus matatanda na un mavs.. hehe.. baka nga magretire na si kidd..

Could LBJ go down in NBA history as the MOST HATED PLAYER OF ALL TIME?
So far hindi pa rin sya tinitigilan ng mga critics nya its total humiliation for LBJ up to this point.
I think even the BIG Branded Products he's endorsing are also much affected.
possible.
can anyone recall anyone as universally hated other than lebron?
Lebron (and the hatred of him) is a product of his time. If Jordan played this century, with the internet and all the blogs and youtube to dissect all his mistakes and foibles, would he also survive the scrutiny as well as he did? Probably better than Lebron, but maybe it would not have been as easy as he had it. Conversely, if Lebron played in the 80s, the scrutiny would not have gotten this bad.mj silenced the critics when he finally won those championship,until lbj does,the critics will just be louder and brutal
But I'm not defending Lebron at all. He still needs to grow up. Unfortunate since he's already had 8(?) years in the league. No longer young at all.
Could LBJ go down in NBA history as the MOST HATED PLAYER OF ALL TIME?sana naman malagay sya sa GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORD as most hated player of all time

dennis rodman maybe..
actually he is an underated scorer..rodman
mj silenced the critics when he finally won those championship,until lbj does,the critics will just be louder and brutalagree and MJ as cocky as he may be he can back it up.and not really full of himself. i dont ever saw him calling himself Airness or G.O.A.T., the decision talaga was done in bad taste and that started it all
Lebron? Uber talented. With his size, speed, vision, leaping ability, athletic ability..... :D Where's the effort?
LOW BASKETBALL IQ ;D
un nga nakakapgtaka eh....he still scores points kahit n loaded un mga teams na sinalihan niya ng scorers..at nagcoconcentrate pa siya sa rebounding at defense...di ba...he can score... ;D
un nga nakakapgtaka eh....he still scores points kahit n loaded un mga teams na sinalihan niya ng scorers..at nagcoconcentrate pa siya sa rebounding at defense...di ba...he can score... ;D
I don't think so. Plenty admire The Worm. Masipag kasi. Imagine....napaka limited ng talent. Can't shoot, can't hit a free throw, etc. But he makes up for it in hustle and effort. Talagang bigay todo.
Lebron? Uber talented. With his size, speed, vision, leaping ability, athletic ability..... :D Where's the effort?
in his book "bad as i wanna be", rodman said that if he wanted to score, he couldve.. but he said everybody can score, but not everybody can rebound with passion!!!
Remember when Wade tore into LeBron with three-plus minutes remaining in Game 3? When he yelled at him for eight solid seconds? When there was genuine anger in his eyes? When he did it right on the court, right in front of the other players, right in front of 20,000 fans and 10 million TV viewers?
LeBron was never the same after that.
When was the last time anyone ever really yelled at LeBron James? You'd have to go back to high school, right? He just spent the past 10 years being coddled by everyone (teammates, coaches, agents, entourage members, yes-men, general managers, owners, media members, etc.). Imagine he was a little kid (which really, he might be to some degree), and imagine you were his father and didn't believe in yelling at your kids. Now, imagine your kid screwed up in his second-grade play and, for whatever reason, you broke character, snapped, and berated him for eight seconds in front of everyone. How would he handle that? Poorly, right? He'd pretend it didn't affect him, but the more he thought about it, it would gnaw away at him (especially once his buddies said, "I can't believe your dad yelled at you like that").
Could that have been what happened to LeBron? Did those eight seconds shake his confidence beyond repair? Did he resent Wade for embarrassing him? Did he think to himself, "Fine, you want to act like this is your team, then YOU win this title?" I believe every basketball champion needs a pecking order of sorts; that's just what the history of the league told us. Miami tried to cheat this concept by putting two of the league's best three players on the same team. It worked for 8½ months; LeBron and Wade ran the team together and deferred to one another depending on the moment. Then the Finals rolled around, Wade kicked it up another gear, LeBron didn't do the same, Wade called him out … and the team was NEVER the same. These are the facts.
I can honestly say that Rodman was a huge factor then sa championship run ng BULLS...
And the way he positions himself for a rebound is simply outstanding...
barkley and rodman..talagang nakikipagpatayan sa offensive rebounds...
mahihirapan si kevin love dito...
I still prefer Rodman,...
Hehehe, a real BADASS...
Though I still remember then that kahit may difference sila ni MJ, he still respects MJ and of course
respects PJ, unlike LBJ na nakuha pang makipag-banggaan ng balikat sa kanyang coach... VASTOS..! :P
in his book "bad as i wanna be", rodman said that if he wanted to score, he couldve.. but he said everybody can score, but not everybody can rebound with passion!!!
dennis rodman maybe..
hindi lasang burak ;D
lbj congratulated the mavs daw......bah! imo its lbj's media handlers that did it or made him do it. damage control sa image ni lbj. afaic, yung yabang nya sa presscon ang real lbj!8 years na syang nag co congratulate sa mga champion.ang bait ni LBJ ;D
I hate to say this but I think I'm gonna bet for Heat to win it all next year (if maganda ang odds and albeit trade of big 3 and lock-out)... and Although I'm a Mavs fan and they brought me some $, I just don't see them winning again next year..well nobody gave dallas a chance naman kahit nung pagumpisa ng 2010-2011 season.early prediction goes to la,celtics and miami.saka i share your opinion kasi kung titingnan m hindi ganun ka dominante yung mavs.maybe yung ibang teams na nalaharap nila eh nag overconfident,marami sa panalo ng dallas e come from behind that's why i said na hindi sila dominanteng team,kasi kung dominante sila eh from start to finish e lumalamang sila sa kalaban.nung game 6 nga ng heat vs dallas,yun lang yung time na nakalamang ng double digit ang mavs buong finals series.or siguro magaling lang talaga coach ng dallas in making in game adjustment
JUst my opinion.. :)
excited n ko sa lakers-mavs next playoffs... ;D
heat-bulls ulit? ;D
my fearless forecast for next year: BOSTON CELTICS get banner 18th!
;D
feeling ko mabubura un 72-10 ng 96 bulls...di ko lang alam kung kelan at kung anong team...tingin ko malapit na.... ;D
