Nets won tonight so it's Cleveland vs. Toronto and NJ vs Boston to decide the last spot. Who wants to bet that the Raptors mail it in for a little bit of payback to Vince?
Not only that, I bet Toine and Pierce would like nothing more than to help knock JKidd and the Nets out of the playoffs
I think this means the Cavs are out, or will be. If the Celts rested against the Cavs, they'll rest against New Jersey too. New Jersey needs the game in a bad way -- since you can count on the Cavs beating Toronto -- so they'll be playing with urgency, and Boston will rest their starters in the 4th quarter. Btw, what the hell was Boston thinking resting their guys in the 4th? Their seed is locked up, but homecourt advantage against Chicago and Washington was still at stake. They're gambling that they won't meet one of those 2 teams later in the playoffs. Granted, Chi or Was has to go through Miami to get a chance to play Boston, but still.
Paul Silas ran himself out the door, and he started Cleveland's demise, so no, I'm not enjoying watching Cleveland struggle. But I'm happy that Silas is out of there.
I dont think its likely because Lebron runs out of steam in the second half normally, but how many times have people shot 20/20/20? Edit: triple double double done once by wilt chamberlain, according to web source.. http://www.eskimo.com/~pbender/nba-daily/95-96/scores1-30.txt
That 32-8 run WAS the 3rd quarter. I'm sure Clevelend fans have to be sick to see that on the scoreboard.
Looks likes Nets are going to do it. Meanwhile, at their end of season finale, at home, Orlando is struggling against the Miami B squad.
I laugh at the owner/management but I just don't get why people are harping all this one LeBron. Granted, when things were good, he got all the praise and now it's the opposite. But it's not like he has much to work with. Defend his role players all you want, but they aren't the right teammates to build around him. Good luck to cleveland in trying to stop him from leaving when FA hits.
This is the kind of quote I cant understand.. no one mentioned his cast in the beginning of the season and analysts thought they had a pretty solid team. Jeff McGinnis ESnow Lebron BigZ DGooden IraNewble thats a pretty solid team and a supposed "contender" early in the year and all of a sudden they are crap? Lebron got so much praise this year because of his teams strong start but now that things arent working out he's blameless? Every teams best players get called out when they are losing, its just the business. J
He just got another triple double today. 27,14,14. Hes team just sucks. they should trade eveyone but him, and try to convince him not to leave.
