did you not even read the first post? :silly:

suns putting it down on san antonio right now, well.. just won

go grant hill

this is only vauguely related, but i met kevin durant on monday night at the harris teeter in alexandria. he bought two full carts full of food. nice guy, and insanely tall. i am 6' 3 and felt like a little kid standing next to him. okay back to basketball banter, just wanted to share.

the magic straight up embarassed the hawks last night. that wasnt even a game.
local kid yep.. that's pretty cool

I'm glad that you guys can recognize all of these people, I'd probably not recognize most of them, though I've seen em on TV a million times

yeah, i recognized him and then immediately thought, there is no way that is actually kevin durant. i looked down and he was wearing OKC basketball shorts and that sealed it for me. i didnt know he was a local guy until i did some internet research when i got home.

It seems like the popular thing nowadays is to hate on the lakers so it's all good. I'd have figured more hate on here for the cavs but I guess not.

On a side note, I have no flippin clue what Kobe was thinking about with the all white clothes, but he must have owed someone a huge ass favor haha.


No it has pretty much been that way for a long time. Lakers = Yankees of basketball

The only similarity I see between the 2 teams is a bunch of championships. The yankees have essentially tried to buy championships the last 2 decades whereas the payroll of the Lakers is right on par with almost every other team still in the playoffs except the Jazz.

I don't know what to tell maybe growing up in Boston jaded me but most folks I know hate the Lakers. It doesn't help that Kobe is the biggest d-bag ever.

It's actually pretty funny, when I was a kid I loved both the Lakers and Celtics when it was Magic vs Bird, but once Bird retired I stuck with Magic and the Lakers even when we sucked at times. I love Kobe the player, but I would have to agree that he is a giant d-bag as a person, but I don't think I'd have him in my top 5 d-bags in sports.

Great win to stay alive today. Great performance by Rondo. If he learns how to shoot consistently, he will be the best PG in the NBA.

Couple of other random thoughts:
- NBA officiating is horrendous. Watching the game reminded me so much of the Jordan era where he could walk up to someone, hit them in the head with a tire iron, and no foul call....yet don't brush up against his jersey or invade his personal space and there goes the whistle. Really bad today, a lot of phantom calls for the Cavs.
- Jackson and Van Gundy are a good announcing team.
- Did I say I hate the Lakers.

I'm not a big fan of the Celtics but I would rather see them win than Lebron James. If Lebron has a good game they blow him and if he has a bad game it must be his ailing elbow. I cant stand him or the random's that are put together to play with him.
