Real Deal

We'll let it go overnight and into the afternoon.

Wow, nobody cares about this game, haha. Okur destroyed his ankle...not returning, getting an MRI to see what his status is for the rest of the series. Boozer is playing like he's 100% healthy out there, and Miles was tearing it up. Denver and Utah can't figure out who wants to lead, so it's back and forth. Ah, and Kenyon Martin is arguably Denver's MVP.

Tony Allen was the biggest reason Wade struggled in the second half. Daniels is no Allen on defense, and to be honest, Allen had a pretty good offensive performance for Boston, also.

Did Jennings do something wrong to piss Skiles off? Why did he sit him through some of the most important sections of the game? It is what it is...felt like it was bad coaching, really. The Bucks probably didn't have a shot to begin with, after the Hawks went nuts, but Jennings would've at least given his teammates hope out there, and could've started the rally that they desperately needed. I think Atlanta let their foot off the gas a bit, though, thinking the game was over. Can't really do that. It's too bad Bogut isn't on the court.

Wade didn't score in 17-18 minutes (until the last 2 minutes of the game, I believe). Boston seemed to be a better defensive team with Garnett off the court, too...which is when they made the strongest part of their run, if I recall correctly. Garnett's first elbow wasn't bad. The second one was. Plus, at the end of the game, they said he pushed a referee...right? If so, he's gone for Game 2. That second elbow is enough to draw the suspension...they consider it the same as a punch...but if he pushed a referee, that's the icing on the cake. I still can't believe the Celtics locked Wade up like that, though. He was crushing them, and then the tides changed, quickly. And I'm sorry, but Pierce is a terrible actor.

Legacy 6, Confidence 4 (if I'm counting correctly). Keep voting, and lose the personal attacks, or else you'll be suspended until the playoffs are over.

Rose was getting hit as much as LeBron, and while LeBron did get most of the calls, it wasn't that bad for Derrick. The one thing to look at was how many times Shaq cleared space with his elbows. That was ridiculous...but he's been doing that every play ever since he slowed down after the championship in Miami. The refs need to call that, though. Noah couldn't hold him, but Miller doesn't have that much trouble. However, when you're throwing those elbows and pushing your defender off of you with your hands, it's a different story. Chicago wasn't going to win this game, anyway. They couldn't hit any of their open shots most of the game.

Yeah, my aunt has it, and she's taking the same thing, just no vitamins. What vitamins did he tell you to take? Just curious, because I will have it soon, haha. Sucks to hear you're done with them, though...but for some reason, I think you may fire up Photoshop every now and then.

http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/forum/114-pick-n-roll-playoffs Be sure to add your entries to each topic (series). They are all due at the tip-off of each. First prize will be a couple of jersey cards, possibly (of your favorite team's players, or a player you like).

Not many rules to follow...just know that the topics will be locked when each series begins. Also, entry edits will be tracked in the ACP, to prevent staff members from editing their own, and any staff member cheating will be demoted immediately. Fill out each series for the best chance of winning. For round-by-round winners, you must complete at least six in the first round, three in the second, and the three remaining series (conference finals and NBA Finals) to be eligible. Overall winner must complete 11/15 series. Scores will be totaled at the end of the season, and a tie-breaker will be determined by individual round totals and victories NOT including the NBA Finals (three rounds, someone will have to win). Top Prize: a couple of jersey cards of your favorite team or player (I have over 50 from a long time ago) Scoreboard will be posted below.

Haha, that's because topics in the team forums and NBA discussion forum are sent to Twitter via a feed.

Wow, didn't know. How bad is your carpal tunnel?

Well, right...I knew that (read somewhere that they were going to do that before the trailer was even released). However, I think that one change may sway some of the old Krueger fans away from the movie. It won't me, for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised. With Halloween and Friday The 13th, it was different in that the characters wore a mask. By just looking, you can tell this isn't Robert Englund...but people just need to remind themselves that Englund is 60+ years old and done with Freddy. Big task replacing him. http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/747/747599/top-25-movie-franchises-of-all-time-20061126075751665.jpg

I guess I'm one of the few that remembers some guy named Amare Stoudemire is arguably one of the best players in the NBA in the second half of the season? And in the same light, Nash is still a top three point guard in the league. Zero percent chance Phoenix loses this series.

There wouldn't be a fix. The Knicks give up their pick to the Jazz, since it's unprotected.
