When Mo Williams shoots like this Cleveland usually wins. So I'm thinking Cleveland wins.

Eric Gordon or Kirk Hinrich? Who's better right now? Gordon is younger but who's better at this moment? This may or may not be too obvious but I say Gordon. He's great at getting to the rim. Both have about the same 3pt% but EJ is shooting a higher fg%. Both are 6-3 and both are combo guards. Both are great on-ball defenders. IMO, Hinrich distributes the ball better.

This game was incredible (except for the third). This was a dagger match. Great poise by Utah, especially Sloan and price, and Lebron. Tons of fun to watch. I'm glad I'm not a big fan of either team because I'd be way over excited or depressed.

OHHH wow!! ROokie!! Excellent coaching from Jerry Sloan to counter LBJ and great push from Utah Team. VEry exciting!!

Heartbreaker for the Jazz. Lebron just had some excellent play down the 4th. 20 points the last 4 mins or something? something like that lol

Oh snap. Looks at this gem, Gaines!

Love the theme. Can't wait to see some of these.

Sick crossover by D Will. But I don't see Utah getting past Cleveland. THey just play too well together as a team.

God I hate Brad Miller

What was most interesting about Kobe's shot was that no timeout was called right after Dirk's clutch 3. With about 40 seconds to go, Kobe jogged up the court and drained it. That timeout was later used for the in-bound pass lol.

What happened to Scola?

two of the game's best closers going at it. This game should've been national. Great shots and defense on both sides as the game closes. I love it.

Nope, when he's on the floor he's just on the floor. Funny foul that Artest drew. He is not graceful.

Clutch time! Iggy is going to shoot it and then he's going to make it. It's the only thing he has going for him.

I don't know anyone who's giving any credit to Ariza lol. I'm sure they're well aware of his 37 fg%. Brooks was notorious in the playoffs for toying with Fisher. My list: PG: Louis Williams - Doing well even with Iverson SG: Martell Webster - Great defender SF: Gerald Wallace - Excellent all around player PF: Charlie Villanueva - Quick for his size C: Bogut - Great Go-to Center

It was good to see Walton play again

Yes and Questionable Yes for Toronto. Like people said before me, Bynum is only good when he gets the attention. That is only when Gasol is out. When Gasol is in, all Drew does is catch lobs which. Don't get me wrong, Bynum is a potential all-star; in fact, you can see spurts of greatness on both sides of the court. The biggest flaw, though, is still that he just doesn't play well with Gasol. With Bosh, you get a very intense player and great rebounder. I don't know what Bosh means to Toronto but Drew will definitely be better off without Gasol.

Dash is just pointing out the facts. I expect Ariza to have a good game, but I still think Lakers' redemption will prevail tonight.

I think most people wanted Lakers Boston though. Honestly, each time they played last season it was game 7 Finals.

Lately the sixers because the new logo. I also used to like the timberwolf stadium because the color of the wood. I take Lakers stadium for granted, but the lights out is pretty cool.

Oh geez..... lol Well imo, Lebron is better than Kobe, but man is this thread pointless. I think we have a Kobe vs Lebron thread somewhere else.

I can tell you that Gasol is really hustling right now especially with the boards. I can also tell you that there aren't many 50-50 balls because Bynum doesn't seem like he's trying to crash the boards at all. Imo, Bynum is slowly expanding his knowledge of the game. I say before the season he was all offensive. Then during this season, I see that he's getting pretty good at defense and defending the pick and roll. He's still young and has much to improve, but it'll only be a matter of time before he starts to get his 10 rebounds.

Source Again these kind of calls can be called either way. It's just how ambiguous the charging call is.

I'd say Lebron and Kobe are tied while Dirk and Nash is also a good mvp candidate lately. Can't go wrong with Wade and Melo, but the first 4 have proven themselves better imo.

Well he traveled in the game winner so you still have that .
