did you not even read the first post?

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

go grant hill

I'd love to see Phoenix go all of the way so that Grant Hill could get a ring, really like the way Nash is playing too, not that that's uncommon for him.

Celts and Magic also have Dukies, of course so does the Jazz but they're not advancing.

Orlando does not look like they'll be stopped.

i like Lebron, but understand the comments about officiating....
dont like the Celtics but glad Garnett got his ring.

would like to see the Suns beat LA for sure. hoping for a Cavs-Suns finals, i'd be okay with either team winning it all.

oh, and Thomas the Trash Guy who collects trash from our office... he's always coming out with this obvious stuff that he says with some out-on-a-limb prediction tone... today he said "i think Orlando is gonna sweep atlanta!"
really Thomas? y'think?

wait, is the sun gonna set?

[CRedskinsRule]

are they still going on? is the NHL's? dang I miss football.

Big-time LeBron choke last night in their 32-point loss to Boston.

3/14 shooting, as many turnovers as made shots. UGLY. Injured or not, it didn't look like he was even trying and he had zero leadership qualities on display.

Anyone else think tanking this series might make the chance that he leaves Cleveland even greater? I do. They picked up some great complimentary players in trades and FA this year...Shaq, Jamison, Moon, Telfair...still fell short. This might make it tempting to try somewhere else for James, even though he's from Ohio. He has a personal goal of being the greatest ever and playing in Cleveland will likely limit him from achieving it, because to be in consideration with the greatest players ever, he's going to need to win a lot of rings. Yes, MJ won them later in his career, but he was also a better all-around player in total.

No, there will never be another MJ...not even LeBron.

Go CELTICS, they've got their foot on the Cavs neck, now just crush it, blow them out in Game 6.

I think physically LeBron is better than Jordan, and not just the physical size. He has better range than Jordan at similar points in their careers. LeBron just doesn't have the killer instinct Jordan had. Jordan was obsessive about winning/competition, I don't see that in LeBron.

I am excited for the Celtics as well but I just know deep down they will find a way to lose and break my heart.

I have more faith in the Bruins actually making a run at it then the Celtics this year. Speaking of we need a win bad tonight I don't want to see a game seven.

I don't normally follow hockey, but I've been keeping an ear posted each morning for the Bruins. If they close out this series, I'll start watching.

Well thanks to Versus and the NHL it is difficult to follow any out of town hockey even during the playoffs!

Flyers are going to take that series. My crazy Sharks/Flyers Stanley Cup Finals prediction is looking very possible.

I think the Bruins pull it out but it may just be their last win of the season. The Habs are red hot. I am sorry if you beat Pitt and Wash in back to back series without home ice advantage, you are playing so damn good hockey.

LeBron will get a lot of grief for tonight's game and rightfully so. He's having a barely average game, but he should be having a dominant game. You look at some of the other series and superstars out there-Kobe, Dwight Howard, and Steve Nash had no problem leading their teams to easy series victories. But LJ is getting no help at all from anyone of his teammates (except for Mo Williams briefly), and worst of all has been Antawn Jamison. He's really been terrible.

I hope the Magic handle the Celtics easily in the next round. Never liked the Celtics (even less so now that I'm up in New England) and I know a lot of people inside the NBA don't care for them either. That said, I'll give them their props for what they've done in these playoffs.

I'll be rooting for Suns vs. Magic in the playoffs with the Suns winning it all

Cleveland was down by single digits with a minute plus to play, and didn't even foul when Boston had the ball. They literally quit. Lebron had a triple double... actually almost quadruple double if you count turnovers. Plus he shot terribly, and as usual he spent 10x more time whining for calls than he did leading. I am SO happy to see them go down. Mike Brown will be fired tomorrow.

My fiancee is from Orlando and is a huge Magic fan, and Dwight Howard may be my favorite NBA player right now, so I'm pulling for them big time.

It was so nice seeing Queen James and the Cavs go down. They are just a notch below the Penguins, Cowboys, Yankees, and Tennesse Vols as my most hated sports teams. Sayonara Lebron James.
