    thats probably is, Duncan is college educated and Kevin garnett has a history of being from the streets.


    About Ginobili, he's good but he has his his moments of inconsistency, he's just fortunate to play on a really good team where others can step up if he doesnt.

    that was a huge play. but they already had a lead and the big shots were made by someone else. you make it seem like the spurs would lose if manu wasn't playing.

    Ray Allen basically handed him the ball.

    kg may have his antics on the court, but he seems pretty mellow off the court.

    he did give $1.2 million to the katrina effort.

    matt bonner took SEVENTEEN SHOTS. lemme repeat, 17.

    battier is open all day every day every second and he doesn't even want to shoot. battier's defense is getting better and he's helping us. but for us to go to another level, battier has got to start making an impact on offense. over a 7 game series, they'll look at tapes and see battier's offensive ineptitude and will force him to score.

    Did you hear Bonner's halftime interview? He said if he doesn't shoot the ball when open Pop will take him out of the game. Simple as that. No confusion about what is expected from him or what to do. Unfortunately, Adelman doesn't make things so easy for his players and confusion reigns. People are often unsure what to do.

    t_mac1, Battier would shoot more if he was on the Spurs or Pop would take him off the floor.

    Great game. I thought the Celts D had kicked in and they would close the Spurs out, but not so. Glad the Celts lost.

    cavs-lakers are arguably the best matchup for every basketball fan.

    2 best teams (record-wise), the 2 best players in the world. rarely does that happen

    Actually, it is! That is the difference between the spurs and the rockets right now.

    If there wasn't that steal, the celtics still would have chance to win.

    maybe that's why pop has made many role players so good. battier would be in pop's doghouse already.

    hey i don't discount the fact that many of the "annoying" players with their antics can be great philanthropists but Duncan just seems like a more sane individual on the court and a friendlier person.

    I'm pretty sure Battier wouldn't be in Pop's doghouse.

    maybe not. but in the past, pop has taken bowen out numerous times when he sucks offensively or refuses to shoot. i imagine he would do the same to battier.

    Luke Walton isn't much of a threat. Depending on if his brain is connected to his body, Odom can be more of a threat to the Lakers than the other team.

    luke walton is so unathletic its frightening, I dont know why PJ likes so many unathletic white guys, atleast they have to be able to shoot the ball which walton isn't very good at either.
