Memphis OH ****

 

[Bowser King]

Bonner with 2 straight 3s and Memphis continues to brick free throws.

EDIT: Memphis back up 1!

 

[Jane]

wowww this game is crazy!

 

[Nike.]

That 3 was cold

 

[The Real Gamer]

LOL @ Memphis

CP3 is giving the Lakers hell right now. Wouldn't be surprised if Hornets won they're looking like the more aggressive team today.

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, the Hornets are definitely looking like they are playing with more purpose. Gasol needs to get into the paint and post up. All he's taken is jump shots.

Lol at Artest half court basket.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Lakers need to count their blessings if Hornets weren't missing pretty much every FT They had the game wouldn't be this close going into the 4th.

EDIT: WOOOOOW HORNETS SUUUUCK AT FREETHROWS!! Nice air ball dude!

Hack a Shaq should now be called hack a hornet.

 

[LAW2222]

damn cp3 is going in on the lakers
also they are so bad at freethrows it's ridiculous

 

[Nike.]

3 from Kobe earlier was super clutch :o

EDIT: OMGGGGGG at Paul O_o he's wet.

 

[PantyRaider08]

CP3 destroying the laker's defense.

 

[Nike.]

Hugeeee 3 from Artest.

Questionable call on Fisher

 

[ChKn]

Daamn Hornets are up 8 with CP3 going to the foul line.

 

[The Real Gamer]

CP3 is clutch!!

Sooo many upsets/close upsets so far! 5th,6th,7th, and 8th seeds came to play!

Lets see if the Knicks can do the same!

 

[Nike.]

Man, this makes the Spurs loss ALOT easier to stomach.

 

[theeboredone]

I'm not worried about this Lakers loss to be honest. Nobody was playing well for LA except Kobe and Artest. Gasol didn't make one single post move until 45 seconds left in the game. The rotations were extremely slow, and Paul won't be hitting J's like that for the rest of the series.

Oh and Hornets Bench couldn't miss =/.

And with Aaron Gray out for at least a game, Lakers should win the next one.

 

[ChKn]

Almost time for da Knicks.

 

[theeboredone]

Man, this goes back to my theory on every time Kobe is hot or is unstoppable, the team relaxes and plays lazy bum defense. The rotations were so slow, it was sad to watch.

 

[The Real Gamer]

My favorite part was watching Gasol try to guard CP3... Twice.

 

[Nike.]

Kobe was getting hot with about 5 minutes left. Then Gasol got iso'd with Paul for the easy 2 then he made that clutch 3. Felt like the momentum died right there, cuz it was a huge "laker comeback" moment.

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, I'm sure Phil is gonna work on NOT switching the pick and roll, cause that has to be the dumbest thing they can do.

Like I said, LA will fix their rotations, Gasol will definitely play better than that stinker he put up, and LA will win this. I think I had LA winning in 5, but it just might be 6.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I had LA winning in 5 also.

At this point 6 sounds more accurate. I don't see the Lakers beating them at New Orleans all 3 times. It MIGHT go to a game 7 if the Hornets keep up their energy like tonight.

No way Lakers lose in the 1st round though.

 

[theeboredone]

I am really disappointed in Gasol though. It felt like 2008 all over again when he was bullied by KG, Perkins, and Big Baby. I don't understand how you can't make a single post up move until 45 seconds left in the game. He is going to get so much **** from Kobe and Phil.

What's worse is that was a wasted hot shooting effort from Kobe, Brown and Artest. Those guys came to play, while everyone else took a chill pill.

On the bright side, I don't expect CP3 to shoot lights out like that again either so it all balances out.

God, I want Wednesday to come already for Game 2.

On another note, where is Glue?

 

[Nike.]

Lakers will bounce back. No way CP3 can shoot out of his mind like that for the entire series.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I feel like KG (Krazy) somewhat disappeared on us for no reason...

 

[theeboredone]

Well, Monty Williams confirmed that Aaron Gray suffered a mild ankle sprain, and he should be good for Game 2. Gasol is gonna have to man up.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Meh Pierce and Rondo are getting hot already... Game over for the Knicks. -.-

 

[Suspect]

Posted on facebook when the game had started that the spurs would lose by 4

they lost by 3

/almost miss cleo status

 

[theeboredone]

Lol. How does Amare let Big Baby dribble drive from the 3 point line to get fouled? Stoudamire sucks on D.

Interesting video. Look at the clock when the ball is inbounded.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02lWKjaH3UY

On hindsight...those are 3 big points.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Forget my earlier comment Boston once again is playing down to their opponents level.

This series will go to 6 at least in my opinion.

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, it's all on how well Melo and Stoudamire do. They'll go as far as their offense takes them.

Gonna go nap, I feel pooped.

 

[Bowser King]

Ugg...terrible first half for celtics. Way to many turnovers and poor shots.

 

[theeboredone]

Bright side, Rondo looks rejuvenated.

 

[Bowser King]

Ray Allen with the clutch 3!

What a great game, Boston really picked it up in the 2nd half. Can't wait till game 2.

 

[The Real Gamer]

OMG Celtics got LUCKYYYYY!!!

 

[Jane]

lets gooo nuggies!

denver's looking good

 

[The Real Gamer]

Holy crap Denver is scary o.0

 

[Zigsta]

Hornets too good.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Let's go OKC come on fellas.

 

[RATED]

Go OKC!!!! Thunders <3

edit: is just me probably but Gallinari( from Denver) the way he dribbles is WEIRD as hell. :S

 

[theeboredone]

Man...that was such a great game, and I felt it was ruined by that missed offensive interference call. That totally changed the tide of the rest of the game. Even if the rest of the game played out like it did, Denver would only be down 3 as opposed to 4. That was such a blatant missed call...I feel for Denver a lot right now.

I also heard there was some controversy towards the end of the Boston game? I didn't watch it, cause I fell asleep, but some Pierce flopping and Garnett illegal screening?

Edit: Still upset. Probably gonna go shoot hoops tomorrow morning for about an hour and half.
