2010 East Playoff Thread

I know...That's a hard pill to swallow for those of us who loved Joe.

:( :ballchain :Cry:

Could be sort of a Larry David/ Jerry Seinfeld situation.

We used to have Seinfeld in Detroit, now we have the marriage ref and they have Curb Your Enthusiasm.


Delfino with 6 threes tonight!

The Bucks have emphasized defense since Hammond hired Scott Skiles as the coach when he took over, going from allowing 103.9 ppg in 2007-08 (23rd) to 96.0 ppg in 2009-10 (seventh).

The GM also drafted defensive-minded forward Luc Mbah a Moute in 2008 and brought in veterans such as Carlos Delfino, John Salmons, Stackhouse and Kurt Thomas.

Wonder what Hammond would think of Gordon and CV?

How about Riley punishing Wade with a S&T to the Pistons for Stuckey, Rip and Kwame??

Did the Hawks choke this one away??

How could they lose to the Bucks without Bogut??

Are the Bucks, the Utah Jazz of the East?

....and the final question is why did we let Delfino go again?? or Hammons?? If he was still working for Joe, we could have had John Salmon a clutch guy that can play D on our team....


18-5 close out by the Bucks.....FEAR the DEER!!

Delfino was the only one to show up tonight for the Deer.

20 points (4 threes), 6 rebs, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 blocks!

Better than Prince at this point?

The Celtics are up 11 at half time and Rondo is magic. Lebrons elbow doesnt look to good. LA is cheering and Stern is crying.

Cavs up by one at the end of 3.....It will be Lakers/Cavs in the final...i will have no one to root for.

Terrible loss by the Celtics. They totally stopped executing down the stretch. Stupid focus on 3 point shots.

At one point in time they had Sheed, Ray Allen, Pierce and Rondo all hanging outside the perimeter waiting for 3 pt shots with Big Baby inside. Great plan.

Sheed was horrible. He couldn't hang on to any boards even if they fell on his lap, he was slow and disinterested on the defensive end, was a no factor on the offensive end. As much as I liked the player he used to be, I am so glad that he's gone.

At THIS point - yes.

Well, the Celts manhandled the Cavs last night to tie the series. The lead was up to 25pts in the 4th until LeBron decided to play and with the help of the refs the Cavs got as close as 11 points. But then the Celts refocused and extended the lead back up to 15-16 pts. Looking at the post-games Mike Brown is fuming and LeBron is in "chill-dude-nothing-to-worry-about" mode.

Sheed had a good showing in the first half to 17 pts. He got pulled out of the game in the 4th after a ridiculous foul on LeBron.

It certainly looked like the Celtics have a better overall team than the Cavs. All the other Cavs players seemed just confused and lost when "the King" wasn't playing 100%.

If LeBron indeed bolts this summer, this Cavs team will be a lottery team for many years to come.

I know the Hawks were coming down from an emotional series with the Bucks, but geez either they were tired, or the Magic WILL be in the finals again...

The Truth!

That's about how I feel. When I started watching this series I didn't know which team I disliked more. I quickly realized that I was rooting against the Cavs.
